Welcome to Cyberia...
Choose a name and pick your difficulty. EASY is hard and they only get tougher.
Enjoy the opening movie. As soon as Major tosses you a weapon get ready...
Arcade 1: Hallway Shootout
Just nail the bad guys as they appear. Be quick as you don't get much time before
they shoot you. HINT:They always appear in the same place each time you play a
scene. You will end up in the underground parking garage. Climb in and shoot the
garage door as soon as it swings into view. You have a very short time to destroy
it.
Arcade 2: The Chase
Sit back and prepare to take a ride. Major does the driving and you do the shooting.
Kill everything that moves. Yellow target boxes indicate air targets while orange
targets indicate dangerous ground targets which often fire back at you. Take out the
orange targets first as they do the most damage. When the bikers start dropping
land mines in the road make sure you concentrate your fire on these first and then
the other enemies. You will get plenty of trigger finger resting places as Zak and
Major argue and exchange jibes between the various combat sequences.
Arcade 3: Thunderstorm
More of the same, yet a bit trickier. These targets come at you fast and in
increasing numbers. Miss just one and it could be curtains. Make sure to get
the orange targets as one of these can take out your ship.
Action 1: FWA Headquarters
Getting in is easy. Getting the information and getting back out is your mission. As
you move Zak around the complex you can move him from side to side and in some places
change his direction entirely. From your first point of control move ahead into the
large chamber and turn right. Move forward to the wall and turn right again.
Now you will be walking down a hall with an upper level above you. There are 2 catwalks
which cross your hall with guards on them. You will see them before you reach
them. You cannot shoot them without getting killed, so you must stay out of
sight. When you see them walking across the catwalk move sideways the same direction
they were going and hug that wall. Repeat this manuever for the second guard and
catwalk and you will be at the end of the hall. You can take the first left or the
second
but they both end up at the elevator. Going up.....
On the second floor, exit the elevator and turn either left or right and go forward one
movement. Turn in whichever direction takes you AWAY from the elevator. If you
try to go behind the elevator you will die. Walk to the end of the long
catwalk. It's awefully quiet up here but don't worry - things will pick up
soon. Note the destruction in the one room at the far corner. You can look
through the rubble but will
find nothing. Don't get too close to the window - you can and will die if you walk
through the broken glass.
Enter the elevator at the far end of the catwalk. This looks tricky because you
will approach it from an angle - just move forward and Zak will do the rest.
Puzzle 1:
Binary Code
This is nothing more than a glorified Simon game. Just repeat the sequence of
numbers that is shown to you. This number varies depending on your skill
level. Complete the full sequence to activate the elevator.
Arcade 4: Database Security
Upon entering the database immediately begin to shoot any solid hexes.
Begin with the blue ones. Failure to destory any hexes will result in instant death.
Shoot the red
hexes next as you journey to the main CPU.
VR 1: FWA Database
This is one of the coolest parts of Cyberia. The VR computer interface allows you to
navigate the vast FWA database. Of course you are restricted by certain security
locks, but a wealth of knowledge awaits. To navigate in VR just go for the ride and
hit any direction key when you come to an icon you wish to pursue. RETURN
exits to the previous data loop and eventually the entire database. If you exit too
early you will die so don't leave until Graham tells you to.
The two items you seek are the Site Inventory and the Defensive Weapons
Databases. You can find them quite easily and enjoy some scenes from the
original Cyberia in your search. Once you have the inventory list and the codes to
deactivate the border drones, Graham will give you the okay to get out of VR.
Arcade 5: Escape from FWA HQ
As soon as you exit VR all hell breaks loose. As you spin around to the left notice
your targeting sight it activated. USE IT and nail the guard coming out of the
elevator behind you. Now the fun really starts. Zak begins the long and
hazardous trek back to the roof.
Nail anything that moves. Be alert for guards coming down the opposite catwalk -
they often hide behind columns and are very easy to miss. As always the guards
appear in the same spot each time you replay so you can quickly anticipate them and nail
them faster each time. Zak makes his way back to the elevator and after the most
humorous scene in computer gaming history, arrive at the first floor. Take out some
more guards and get to the main elevator and head for the roof. More target
practice up top - shootem all and after a daring leap to safety you will be back behind
the big guns. Take out all incoming ships and in between those have a blast shooting
out all the windows of FWA HQ - its okay; they're insured.
Graham will finally deactivate the drones and you can escape - nail a couple ships in hot
pursuit and you are free.
Arcade 6: Nightmare
Since your trip is going to take 9 hours you decide to catch a nap. Original Cyberia
players will recognize this dream sequence as the Naval Base and it plays identical right
up to the enemy locations. This sequence is not hard (I'm not even sure if you can
die) so just have fun and enjoy the surprise ending.
Action 2: The Mines
After the game gets you inside the complex you will find yourself on a lift hiding behind
some crates. Doors open and a forklift robot heads straight for you. Move to
Zak's RIGHT to circle the crates and avoid a crushing death. When the coast is
clear head for the door across the room. You will have to dart into the crates
on your right twice - once at each pause in the character's movement. Do not come
out of hiding too soon or you will get shot.
Puzzle 2: Touch Tone Lock
Listen VERY closely to the tones you hear when the workers use the keypad. You will
have to
match these tones and failure is instant death. Of course if you are really lame see
the CODE SECTION at the end of this walkthrough for the code.
Puzzle 3: Triangle Laser Lock
The next room has a code locked elevator and a door to the left of the elevator. For
now we need to crack the elevator lock. The concept is quite simple. Shoot a
beam of light into the symbol for OPEN without any light reaching the LOCK symbol
(resulting in instant death - as usual). Pressing any of the lower buttons results
in a beam of light which originates at that button and flows until it reaches a dead
end. The bright gates located in the maze can be forced open or closed by bouncing
light off them.
Learning how these gates work is the key to solving this puzzle. If you simply
cannot figure this one
out then use the code at the end of this solve.
Puzzle 4: Corbin's Computer
Corbin has a hidden computer in his desk with some nasty security. Hit
a wrong button and
you take a plunge into the nano-infested basement where you die (at
least its not instant)
Enter the 3 button color code to access the VR Database. What? You
don't know the code!
Hmmm..those colors on the computer look remarkably similiar to some
glassware on the shelf
opposite the aquarium. Since I already leaked it was a 3 button combo
you can easily figure
out that the code is Yellow - Green - Blue YOU'RE IN!!! OOOPS!!
Maybe not! Voice Print
Identifcation....sit back and don't do anything - move and you die -
wait and you can try again
later. Now where can we find a voice print.... Not up here so lets
leave.
Action 3: Mechanical
At the bottom of the elevator turn right and enter the bright white room
and then the room with
the big green puddle of toxic wast
e. Admire the headless Dr. Robinson and relieve him of his
Remote Control - he won't be watching any TV for a long time... Now
head to the door behind you
and to your right. Move forward to the big screen TV and use the remote
to repair some leaky
pipes and clean up the green stuff. Exit the room - the puddle is much
smaller now - in fact
you can even JUMP over it (and the Doctor). On the other side of the
puddle go to Door 2 and
enter. Take a seat and enter VR
VR 2: Mine Database
This database functions just like the FWA interface and you pretty much
need to see and hear
everything. The disgruntled worker is a blast to listen to but you are
on a quest for
knowledge. Before leaving VR you should have a CODE for Lab 4 (2457)
and a voice print of the
egotistical Dr. Corbin.
Puzzle 5: Lab 4 Keypad
Hmmm...You could have sworn that code was 2457 - even Graham backs you
up, but the paranoid
Corbin has changed the codes. Fortunately Graham scans the keypad and
gets you a fingerprint
of a recent authori
zed user. Now where can we reference a fingerprint? Let's go try that
voice print then...
VR 3: Corbin's Computer
This is tricky! As soon as you sit in Corbin's chair spin and face the
window. A security
guard comes up the elevator and if you are facing him YOU DIE; otherwise
he execuse himself
and you can return to your hacking. Enter the color codes (you do
remember them - right?)
The voice print is automatic and you are in. Wander around VR until you
find security codes
whereupon you can cross reference that fingerprint. I'm assuming they
change the print and
access code with each new game, but in case they don't you can find my
code at the end if this
solve. You can leave VR as soon as you match the print and note the 4
digit number.
Arcade 7: Antidote
Now that you are in Lab 4 you can prepare the antidote to save the
city. After getting a
large dose of blood sucked from your hand you pass out and dream up some
combat action.
Nothing major - just more shootem-up-bang-bang so killem all an
d wake up. Graham gives you
some words of advice and then you must sterilize your blood sample. You
probably have two
pieces of conflicting instructions on how to do this if you listend to
ALL VR database entries.
You can decide who to trust or check the end of this file for the right
answer.
Action 4: Meeting the Major
Exit the Lab and head for Door 2 - turn right and enter. Turn right
again and move forward
and turn off the lights. This reveals previously unseen lasers that
open the trap door that
(you guessed it) causes instant death. Give the white generators on
your left a wide berth
then do a little weaving to bypass the laser beams. Enter the cave and
go up the stair to
meet the major and drop off the antidote.
Arcade 8: Blow this Joint
As soon as you regain control of Zak security will be IN YOUR FACE!
Blast them as you begin
to make you way back to the doc's office. Watch for the guard in the
elevator waiting to
nail you when the doors open.
Arcade 9: Arm Self-Destruct
Enter VR one la
st time at the doc's desk and find the self-destruct arming sequence.
Shoot
all the colored squares that are spinning around the sphere. You have
one minute to destroy
them all to arm the destruct mechanism.
Action 5: Escape
Doc's office is heavily guarded at this point so don't use the elevator
to leave. Instead, hit
one of the white buttons on the doc's computer to trip the security and
send you plunging to the
basement. It's okay this time - you are armed. The nano-dudes attack
in small swarms so blast
away. As you walk down the halls you must give a wide berth (and I mean
opposite side of the
hall) to the yellow pyramid devices on the walls. Get too close and you
go BOOM! The basement
is setup like a small maze but your main objective is to reach the far
end and go in the right
gate. You will go up some stairs and will be able to shoot a small
silver electrical box from
across the room. Exit this short hall and turn left. Follow the hall
around, shooting the nano's
along the way. A blue dev
ice is on the outside of the last turn into the big room where you
shot the silver box. Avoid this, giving it a wide berth or you will go
up in flames. Upon
entering the large room you will have to take out 6-8 nano's then move
forward. Two silver
electrical boxes are along the far wall. Shoot the one on the RIGHT and
leave. Do NOT shoot
the left box and don't hit it during combat with the nano's or the floor
will sink and you will
die (instantly!) Now leave this room the same way you entered following
the same hall past
the first gate you entered with the stairs. You will come to a second
gate. If you tried this
gate earlier you met a grisly death - but now it's safe and you can
continue down the hall and
out the door. You are now on the far side of the room where you met the
Major a while back.
Puzzle 5: Octagon Bridge Lock
This puzzle follows the same premise as the elevator lock but is
considerably more difficult.
You must allow for multiple lasers acting on the same gates to finish
this pu
zzle. Of course,
the answer is below if you can't stand the pressure.
Arcade 10: Time to Leave
With the bridge activated every guard on the base now stands between you
and freedom. Taking
the same path you took only moments ago - blast your way back to the
cargo hold and to the
large freight elevator. You pause to wipe the perspiration from your
brow when who else but
Corbin himself appears for the final showdown. Major shows up and
confronts her dad (oops -
I hope you had figured that out by now). While she distracts him with
some cannon fire you
can move forward and push him off the lift and to his death. Hop in
with the Major and get
ready for some action. The targets are MANY in this final battle so
concentrate your fire on
those orange guys that do the most damage to you. Just keep blasting
and you will finally
blast out of the cargo bay admist a column of flame..
Enjoy the ending and don't bother with the credits - nothing to see like
at the end of the
first Cyberia.
