Introduction

Chapter 2 looks at the basics of getting around in

Unreal II . The game mechanics and interface are

covered, as well as the basic techniques of moving

through and interacting with the game environment.

Chapter 3 takes you into Unreal II ’s arsenal, and introduces

you to the weapons and equipment used in the game. Learn

the strengths and weaknesses of every weapon so that you

know which one to use in any situation.

Chapter 4 introduces you to the characters with whom you

interact. This chapter provides background info on your allies

and the strengths and weaknesses of your enemies. Refer back

to this chapter as you come across new enemies to learn the

best tactics to defeating them.

The second part of the book takes you through the game.

Starting with Chapter 5, there’s a step-by-step walkthrough

for every mission, filled with hints, tips, and tricks to guide

you through the mission and allow you to survive every situa-

tion. The following will show you how to find and use that

information.

INCOMING MESSAGE...

From: CIC Terran Colonial Authority

To: Dalton, John—TCA Marshal

Welcome to the ranks of the Terran Colonial Authority,

Dalton. You’re about to embark on an operation that is

more strenuous and challenging than anyone realizes.

Luckily, with this training manual in hand, you have the

skills necessary to complete the assignment.

Good Luck, Marshal.

WELCOME TO UNREAL II: THE

AWAKENING

Stationed on the edge of known space, you are John Dalton,

a marshal in the Terran Colonial Authority (TCA). You and the

crew of your ship, the Atlantis, might have been expecting an

easy assignment, but you’re in for a surprise. With every mission,

you uncover a new piece of an ancient mystery that’s got every

hostile corporation and species in the quadrant up in arms.

CAUTION

The mission walkthroughs in Chapters 5–18 contain spoilers

that reveal elements of the game’s story. If you don’t want

to know what’s coming next, read only as far as the mission

you are currently playing.

HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE

Prima’s Official Strategy Guide to Unreal II: The Awakening is

divided into two sections for easy reference. The first part intro-

duces you to the basic game concepts, equipment, and characters:

1 BRIEFING

The Briefing will give you the information needed as you

enter a new mission. This information will keep you informed

of the story as it unfolds and will

give insight to the enemies and

objectives ahead. Check this

information as you begin a new

level to stay one step ahead of the

enemy factions and to get a better

understanding of the dangers you

may encounter.

2 OBJECTIVES

Here you will find a complete list

of all the objectives present in the

current mission. The objectives are

simply the tasks that are assigned

as you venture through a level.

Completing these objectives is

necessary to finish the mission at

hand. To check your objectives in-

game, press and hold 6 .

Prima’s Official Strategy Guide

Introduction

3 MAP

Missions are often broken into “parts.” At the beginning of

each mission “part” you will find a map of the area you will

be exploring. On this map are numbers corresponding to dif-

ferent points of interest that are relevant to the walkthrough.

Refer to the maps should you get lost, or if you want a better

understanding of where you are and what you should be

doing within a mission.

CO-OPERATIVE

Tired of playing alone? Find a mission too difficult to handle

alone? If yes, then grab a buddy and dive into Co-Operative

mode. This mode allows two players to conquer the game as a

team in a split-screen vantage. Check the “Co-Op Notes” at

the end of a mission walkthrough for information and tips for

best completing a level as a team.

XMP

XMP, or multiplayer, allows you to enter the world of X-Box

Live where you can compete in multiplayer mayhem online.

This mode also allows a player to link systems to play against

friends in private multiplayer games. Whichever you choose,

a player can come here to set up or join multiplayer game

sessions through six different maps of class based team

games. Online and multiplayer games include the use of

vehicles, character selection, and variety of other game

features exclusive to XMP.

In order to play the X-Box Live mode, you must be a

subscriber to X-Box Live . Visit www.xboxlive.com for more

information on X-Box Live and how to access this feature of

the game.

4 LEGEND

The map legend will make sense of the numbers placed on the

map. To each number present, there is a corresponding label

in the legend.

5 WALKTHROUGH

It is in the walkthrough that you will be taken, in-depth,

through the current mission. Here you will also find useful

tips, areas of caution, and detailed notes that will give you

the extra edge over your enemy and ensure the completion of

your mission.

6 CO-OP NOTES

Every mission can be played in Co-Operative mode with the

exception of the beginning training mission. It is here that

you will find notes on completing the level when teamed with

a partner. The walkthrough will still take both players through

the mission, but check here for tips and suggestions on how

to best tackle a mission as a team.

XMP TUTORIAL

The XMP Tutorial will offer a breakdown of all XMP features

including class specifications, game rules and objectives, and

all weapons and items available. This should be your first

stop before entering an online game for it really does offer

all the information you will need to succeed in online play.

We strongly suggest that you take a few moments to go

through the XMP Tutorial if you have any intentions of

playing a multiplayer game.

GAME MODES

There are multiple game modes present in Unreal II: The

Awakening . While primarily a one-player, first-person shooter,

Unreal II and the multiplayer-friendly X-Box have added a few

new features from the PC version of this title that include a

Co-Operative mode, and X-Box Live capabilities. The following

is a brief breakdown of each of the game modes available.

OPTIONS

In the Options mode a player can create and select a player

profile then change options such as controller setup, audio

and video options, and various other game settings. Explore

the Options menu to configure and tailor your game settings

to best fit your playing style and to customize your game

experience.

SINGLE PLAYER

The Single Player mode is a one-player game that takes a

player through the compelling story of Unreal II: The

Awakening . This is the main game mode and promises hours

of fun and excitement as a player takes on the role of Marshal

John Dalton.

Basic Skills

It’s never a good idea to go out in the field without being

properly prepared, and it wouldn’t do to send a raw recruit

out to face the Skaarj without first knowing the basics.

Before you dive into your role as a TCA marshal, learn the

basic skills you need to survive. Unreal II: The Awakening

requires more than just a quick trigger finger. You need

dexterity and skill to move around in and manipulate your

environment and avoid injury. You also need to know what to

do when your physical condition becomes critical on a mission.

This chapter has information you need to move like a pro.

It also introduces you to the concepts of shields and health.

Running is your way

of getting around.

NOTE

You climb some impressive slopes

in Unreal II . Usually, you can walk

up most ramps, columns, or hills

as long as their slopes are (rough-

ly) 60 degrees or less. Use this

ability to get above your enemies and gain a good vantage

point from which to fight.

TIP

Although the instruction in this chapter is useful, nothing

beats practical experience. If you’re unsure of your skills,

run through the Avalon training mission at the start of the

game and practice your basic skills.

SWIMMING

There aren’t many swimming holes in Unreal II , but occasion-

ally you must traverse a liquid environment to search for

equipment or to get from place to place. Luckily, your armor

protects you in aquatic environments—most notably by

providing you with an unlimited supply of air. You can stay

underwater as long as you want without suffering ill effects.

Swimming is almost identical

to walking. The only difference

is that the Jump control caus-

es you to rise to the surface.

GETTING AROUND

You need more than steady aim and a mastery of weapons to

survive in Unreal II —you must be able to effectively navigate

and interact with your environment. Doing so requires the

mastery of a variety of movement skills.

CAUTION

Not all liquid is water! Unless you’re sure the rippling surface

you’re about to leap into is harmless, avoid it, or test it by

stepping in where you can get out if you start taking damage.

MOVEMENT

Running is your default movement mode in Unreal II . You

need to move quickly in most situations, so this works out for

the best.

In situations where a misstep could prove fatal, take your

time and creep to your destination by lightly pressing the

control stick in the direction you wish to go. While ultimately

this will result in a run, slow bursts will ensure you keep your

feet beneath you, avoiding accidental missteps.

JUMPING

Not all mission sites are easy to navigate. When you come to

a rift that is too wide to step over or a ledge that is too high

to step onto, jumping is your only alternative.

To jump over an open space, get a running start and press

the Jump button ( 1 ) when you’re near the edge of the obstacle

you’re trying to clear. The amount of running start you need

depends on the distance you need to jump and the size of

the landing area, so (literally) look before you leap. Too much

speed can cause you to overshoot the landing area.

To climb onto a ledge or similar obstacle (a task known as

“mantling”), press and hold the Jump button when you’re in

front of the ledge you want to climb onto. If mantling doesn’t
