Quick question. Say I got all of the statues from the BB's, but forgot to get the frog one. If I get all those, and then get the frog one on the following playthrough (being that it is at the beginning), will I still get the Solar Gun?

I'll take it all, arrows or guns.
Hundreds or more, to save you from one.

The statues carry over each playthrough but you need to complete the game to get the Solar gun

Q) What are some good ways to get past the scarabs in Act 4 without raising an alarm (assuming I don't have extra chaff grenades)?

Useing the upstairs vent you can literally just drop out the vent (being carefull of the scarabs laser right near you) drop down and then run behind the crate to get the iteam then jump straight over the railing makeing sure with the solid eye theres no one below you and then letting go instantly going into crawl and absorbing the floor camo and crawling under the door. then absorb the new floor camo and just stop and let the lasers go past and crawl free x3.

Also does someone know all 69 Weapons?? I've got 61 weapons includeing the solar gun but can't find the other 8 also I've bought all the ones in drebins shop.

Runningsnake, i just tested out my theory and you were right, the corpse camo isn't exclusively tied to 5 of the emblems but it can be aquired by doing the chicken emblem which really isn't necessary. d(^_^)b

For me the 41-42 continues didn't net me the corpse camo but when i tried it with 51 continues it def got it.

KT, i believe you are right and the only thing required for the corpse camo is >50 continues.

Hey Solid, was just wondering what kind of run you did with the 51 continues, cause I was going to try a no kill/no alert run and see if it worked then. Of course this all could be that the guide was wrong and they meant to put 51, not 41.

I was pretty much doing a fun run if you will. Killing anything that moved but staying concealed. Got a couple of alerts in Outer Haven because i decided to go Rambo for some reason.

So we can only use 2 chaff grenades per playthrough? (Not counting usage of bandanna.) Theres no other way to get more? I only need three for a perfect Shadow Moses run anyway, but its still kind of lame that this the only item that Drebin won't sell me, nor able to find anymore of them. :/

Jun 26, 2008 5:34 am GMT
Well your chaff grenades carry over but if you find yourself low on chaffs just grab a pack of 2 on the heliport in shadow moses

One more quick (probably dumb) question. Do I need to use non lethal ammo the whole fight with a BB, or can I use, say, a machine gun, until she gets low on health, and then tranq. them?

The beast form can be killed with lethal weapons but the beauty needs to be tranq'ed.

I'm sorry, but I am getting a lot of mixed answers. So I can still get the Solar Gun if I lethally kill the Beast form, as long as I tranq. the beauty form?

Oh if you want to collect the statues to get the solar gun then you have to tranq the beast form.

Sorry guys, Radiohead gig last night and Thorpe park all day haven't had any time to post.

'So we can only use 2 chaff grenades per playthrough? (Not counting usage of bandanna.) Theres no other way to get more? I only need three for a perfect Shadow Moses run anyway, but its still kind of lame that this the only item that Drebin won't sell me, nor able to find anymore of them. :/'

Theres been posts lying around that show locations of new chaff grenades. I believe the reason Drebin doesn't sell them is because of the damage they do to the AI system like the Dwarf Gekkos, so its a storyline reason rather than agameplay reason

Solid - Awesome cheers for clearing that up. Yeah, when I finally have time to do my BBE run I'm a bit scared about the biking!

'One more quick (probably dumb) question. Do I need to use non lethal ammo the whole fight with a BB, or can I use, say, a machine gun, until she gets low on health, and then tranq. them?

Theres no need to use both means on a single boss If anything I'm trying to think of bosses that get more annoying when you do more damage to them (I'm thinking of Octopus) so you're making it harder for yourself when you try to do both means, but you already got ur next parts answered

BlackBirdFan - Sorry buddy, I don't have a list of all the iPod songs, nor as one of the people posted, I don't have a list of the weapons either. I've completed it 4 times (no foxhound no BBE or anything) with a total of 64 weapons, so I think I'm doing pretty good. Theres literally a lot of alternative routes, and so many hidden little tricks, such as unlocking the XM8 (sp)

Something I found out interesting today, don't know if anyone else has stated it yet, but when in alert mode, you can't use chaff grenades, kind of sucks when you accidentally get spotted in shadow moses and you really want to throw one.

So KT, has it been confirmed that in order to get the corpse camo, you just need 51 continues? Also, which emblem do you think is fun, yet rewarding at the same time (worth the effort). It is really tough to pick one to stick with while I am going for the Solar Gun.

Corpse Camo - Yep, about 51 continues (perhaps 50 but you're safer with 51)

Just a note - I have 64 weapons and theres 5 more to obtain from the Emblems, so I've actually got all 69 weapons. How? Lol, I really don't know. Areas and shops! I'll draw up a location list when I have some time but I've really got none recently.

If you're doing it while getting the solar gun, I don't suggest killing anyone, so you can get the Pigeon Emblem + the Bandana at the same time. Crouch all the time so you can get the Lobster/crawl all the time so you can get the Inch Worm. Emblems that are fun? hmm Bear one with the 100 chokes, used that for assassin. You can stun em with the stun knife, and under 25 alerts will net you the emblem. Nows a good time to be doing the Blue Bird emblem, giving your items away. Or standing by militia and shooting at infinate spawns of PMCs will net you praise. Who knows? Theres so many you can do in one playthrough, but I'm not sure what would be considered fun
