Briefing
Cortez and Jo-Beth descend to the catacombs below the mansion. There's still no sign of the Time Traveler but the horrors and craziness around them are clearly the result of the twisted research of the Brotherhood of Ultra Science. Who is behind this madness?
Primary Objectives
- Uncover the identity of the mystery time traveler
- Protect Jo-Beth from the zombie horde
- Eliminate "Princess"
- Escape from the catacombs
Arsenal
- Revolver
- Harpoon Gun
- Shotgun
- Ghost Gun (Man that thing's cool!)
Strategy
Avoid the flying boxes (or let Jo-Beth trip them all). Grab the revolver ammo (you'll need it) and follow the tunnel. Have the revolver equipped. The green pit has no enemies and Cortez will be in for a "surprise" after falling through the floor. Just be sure to have a revolver ready (aimed at the head) and back away quickly. Deal with the enemies and meet up with Jo-Beth. Before entering the morgue to help her, TK grab the shotgun laying agains the railing so you have extra ammo for fending off the zombies. Protect Jo-Beth from zombies by killing them all and grabbing the extra shells under the stairs.
Move down into the lab, kill the zombies and access the PC. The program you are looking for is the Unlock Security Door A. None of the voice code is ever used in the game.
The electric zombies can throw lightning, so aim quickly for their heads using any weapon (revolver is recommended) and blow their heads off. Try to have at least 12 bullets in the revolver though, for later. The second morgue has a PC Jo-Beth needs to hack. Take the harpoon gun near the bed closest to the door. Use it on the zombies who slide down the body disposal chutes. You can shotgun or harpoon the heads of the enemies as they sit up. Once enough enemies are killed, Jo-Beth opens the door to the rest of the lab.
Grab the ammo in the labs here and reload the harpoon gun and revolver. The PCs in the labs can make the prisoner explode, so have fun with that.
The pentagram room (above illus) is a checkpoint. Equip the revolver before venturing inside. During the mine cart scene, the revolver should be able to kill the drop down zombies with auto-aim. Reload when you think you have a clear chance. For protecting future Cortez, use the harpoon gun and kill the zombies in your way. Head to the end and enter the cave. From here on out, you use the Ghost Gun exclusively.
Fry each ghost before they touch you and be sure to head left at the fork to grab the medical kit first; once the time loop occurs, you can't go back. Protect past Cortez by destroying the ghosts coming out of the boxes. Past Cortez is practically immune to being zombie swiped, so if he's stuck, melee the zombie and it may be enough to let the AI kill the zombie.
