The last cheat of the game is a breeze, don't worry
about it. First off, if the first pillar you see isn't one of the targets, then
restart the stage until it is the special one. Strafe into the area so the
Skedar with the Reaper starts shooting, then duck behind the pillar (attaching
the rider to it) and when he stops shooting strafe out and the shooting cycle
trick will be complete as you run by him. From here on out, the positions of the
special pillars are all random. Generally, the easiest combo is this (for first
timers): the one near the start, the one in the small enclosure, and the one
behind the second Reaper-wielding Skedar. It's OK if it's the fat one behind the
pair of Reaper-Skedar, or the skinny one past the fat one. It'll take about 30
seconds longer to get past the Reaper-Skedar (safely, at least) but you'll still
be on track for the cheat. Oh, and a little tip. After the first pillar, Skedar
will begin cloaking out of nowhere. Shoot them upon sight, using your Callisto
NTG set to impact shells. When you get to the split path near the enclosure, two
will appear on either side. Kill the one on the right, turn around and kill the
other one, and wait here and kill the four-five that have been following you
since the beginning. Easy stuff, since they don't have guns. Just be sure to
KEEP YOUR DISTANCE, because a kick will either drain half your health, or kill
you all together. Now, don't bother getting the double phoenixes, it's a waste
of time. Instead, tag the three pillars, and then immediately go the canyon that
contains two Reaper-Skedar. Take your time from the top of the ladder and kill
them both, otherwise they will mow you down unless you have some fancy moves.
Now here's a REALLY cool glitch that will allow you to get past the two points
that require explosives. Once you drop down from the ladder, you will see the
huge split in the ground. Follow this towards the left until you can cross to
the other side. Now you will see the area where the bridge is deployed
from...and the path you standing on just kind of disappears. Fall off the very
point of it, pushing against the wall (the same side that has the ladder which
leads to the blocked up hole) and keep pushing against the wall in mid-air, and
you will warp to the blue tunnel. The cool thing about this, besides cutting off
20-30 seconds off your time, is that none of the baby Skedar will warp in, the
only you will have to kill is the one near the switch. Push the rock on the
switch to deploy the bridge, and run across. Don't bother to kill the baby
Skedar in these broken down passages, just run right past them until you reach
the door that leads to the area with the Slayer-Skedar. Open it and stand back,
because a baby Skedar is right behind you...might as well kill him. Kill both
the Slayer-Skedar, being sure to collect their explosive toys. Lay the Falcon-2
on the altar to open the doors to the inner sanctum. Many baby Skedar will have
followed you in here, so just run around them, they pose no threat to you. When
you come to the final Reaper-Skedar, kill him by strafing out then hiding. When
he stops shooting, go in and mow him down. When you enter the Skedar army room,
the Skedar will FIRST come out of the doors on the RIGHT-HAND side. So take out
your Devastator. You should have four rounds if you used the glitch to skip
around the hole (I hope that isn't fixed in the PAL version...). Toss a sticky
grenade in the middle of each set of two green doors. It will kill the Skedar
inside the doors before they even have a chance to come out! BUT DO NOT USE ALL
THE GRENADES IF YOU USED THE GLITCH TO GET PAST THE HOLE! If you do, the game
will say you failed because you can't reached the inner sanctum, because it
reads the hole being still blocked up. So only use 3/4 of your ammo. Use the two
Slayer missiles for the final doors. It's basically one explosive for every two
doors. All the Skedar will die and you can finally go to the King. As always,
this guy is such a pushover. Use the Callisto NTG's secondary function to take
down his shield very quickly, then shoot off the pieces of the shrine above him.
Remember that for the two lower, thin ones, it is much easier if you strafe so
you can shoot behind the King at the very base of the spike, because hitting the
tip is much more difficult. If you try to hit the base from any other angle the
King's shield will block it...so go to the side and shoot it behind him. The
final tip I can give you is this: switching to another weapon, and then
immediately switching back to the Callisto is faster than reloading it. It'll
save you that extra second or two in the midst of battle.
Congratulations, you have acquired all the cheats for
PD!
