Prince of Persia 2 - Warrior Within

Hints:
-


Life Upgrade Pedestals:
-----------------------
1: The first upgrade pedestal is right after you beat Shahdee. Walk up the stairs and
you will see a tall altar. Pull it back to open a secret doorway behind it. Follow it
throw avoiding the traps to obtain the first life upgrade.

2 (Past): The second upgrade pedestal is in the area where you first fight the Crow
Master. Make your way up the area to the stairway. You'll see a small metal grate.
At the bottom of the stores to the left there are some barrels and a switch. Hit the
switch, slow down time and make your way to the grate, roll under it. Go through avoiding
traps to get the second life upgrade.

3: When you reach the central hall after obtaining the serpent sword turn the turnstile
lever so that it faces the doorway with the save point fountain. Facing the opposite
doorway walk foreword and to the right, you'll see a ledge. Drop down and wall jump back
and forth to make your way slowly down. Once you get down, drop down to the ledge below
and wall run and jump off at the end and jump side to side to make your way up. Wall run
again and at the end wall jump from side to side to make your way down to a ledge. Make
your way to the doorway go through and avoid the traps for the third upgrade pedestal.

4:When in the Mechanical tower you will eventually reach a Thrall who is throwing spike
beasts. Get him to blow up the left wall (Your left when facing the Thrall) Walk throw
and avoid traps to get the fourth upgrade pedestal

5: When you get to the Garden in which you see the whole breathtaking scene make your
way up to where you fight Silhouettes and Keepers. Walk to the left to find a ledge where
the fence doesn't continue, drop down, move, drop down and wall run to make your way to
the doorway across the gap. Walk in, make your way through avoiding traps to find the fifth
upgrade pedestal.

6: Once you turn on the water in Garden works via turnstile, wall run up the wall behind it,
walk in make your way through avoiding traps to find the sixth upgrade pedestal.

7: In the Prison area after you beat Thrall and make your way up. Make your way to the end of
the left side and break a wall, you'll see a door. Head to the right side and midway throw
you'll see another cracked wall. Break it hit the switch slow down time and make your way
to the first wall you broke head throw and avoiding traps to find the sevenths life upgrade
pedestal.

8: Inside the library when you make your way up from the walkways beneath it. You see a broken
doorway, make your way throw it and get to the railings. You need to jump to the other one and
instead of heading to the ledge to the left, head to the opposing doorway (which is still
intact) Jump to the ledge and make your way to the right side, jump up, and go through to
find your way to the eight life upgrade pedestal.

9: The ninth pedestal is located in the room in which you chase Shahdee and she shuts the
door behind her. You are required to make your way up and to jump on a bar to open the door,
as you make your way up you'll see a cracked grating. Come back here when you have the
scorpion sword and break the grate to reveal a crate. Bring the crate out to the left wall,
jump on it, wall run up and jump off to reach a ledge above it. Follow the area throw to make
your way to the ninth upgrade pedestal.

With all pedestals found you will be able to get the Water sword which is in the room before
the throne room. It will be in the center. The Water Sword gives you an alternate ending as
it is the only weapon capable of defeating the Dahaka.

Light Sword:
------------
The light sword is the most powerful secondary weapon in the game. When in the mystic caves
you come upon a door that you must unlock via switch. Directly after that door there is a
drop in the floor. Drop down and break the left wall and break the rack to pick up the light
sword. As with all secondary weapons it is unbreakable, but if you throw it you lose it for
good. The light sword has maximum damage and maximum attack rate.

Secret Ending:
--------------
To get the secret ending simply obtain all 9 life upgrades, when you get to the room before
the Empress' throne room there will be a new sword waiting for you. It is the water sword
and said to be the only thing that can kill the Dahaka. For your final battle, instead of
fighting the Empress you fight the Dahaka.

The Dahaka's attacks are repetitive and predictable. When far away he will shoot his tendrils
throw the ground up at you, run around in circles to avoid it making your way ever closer to
him. If you get too close he'll shoot out his tendrils directly at you, roll to dodge them.
As you roll slow down time and go in for some heavy combo hitting, as you get him lower in
health the Empress will help you and shoot him off the arena, he will be stuck on the ledge,
stock up on sand tanks (They regenerate around the arena) and slow down time or use Ravages
of time to inflict maximum damage. He'll eventually get back up and jump at you, constantly
roll until he calms down and remains stationary. Repeat the same method as before until he
is defeated.

Hockey Stick:
-------------
After you obtain the Scorpion sword find your way back to the central room. Turn the turnstile
so that the lever is facing the doorway with the save point fountain. Stand facing the opposite
doorway and walk up a bit and to the right. You will find a ledge that is one step lower than
the area around you. Walk down and grab on to it. Jump to the opposite ledge and jump back and
forth to slowly make your way down. Once you reach the bottom drop down to the ledge below it.
Wall run to the next wall and get ready to jump off and back and forth to make your way up.
Wall run again and when you reach the end wall jump to slow your descent once more, you'll
eventually grab onto a ledge. Make your way to the doorway that is next to it, but DON'T GO IN.
Instead keep going on the rocks until you see the area where sand is falling. With the scorpion
sword in hand break the wall. Break the rack of weapons and pick up the hockey stick.

As with all special weapons the hockey stick is unbreakable, but if you throw it you lose it
for good. It has moderate damage and a relatively slow attack rate.

Teddy Bear:
-----------
One of the miscellaneous secondary weapons is the teddy bear. Locate it after earning the
Scorpion Sword in the clock (west) tower. There are three encounters with a giant golem enemy
in the clocktower when you initially go through it; the first is before you start negotiating
the vertical climbing of the tower (past); the second is atop the clock tower (past); the
third is is stationary and throws exploding monsters in the clock tower's second area (past).

Look for the room where the second giant golem enemy is. You will need to be in the present
(so find a time portal) and drop into the water-filled dead end past the golem's room. Break
the wall and retrieve the teddy bear.

The teddy bear is almost unbreakable and does almost no damage, but has the ability to restore
lost life to the Prince with each successful blow on an enemy.

Hint:
-----


If the prince turns to a creep with a mask that means that you wore the mask before
its time so you have to go back to the present and change to the real prince!.

Submitted by: GHAZI NASSIF MAKKI

This is not Really a cheat This is an advice if you are using any trainer for
Prince of Persia 2 - Warrior Within use it but dont use "One Hit Kill" Because
this one will cause problems in the game story (Some doors dont open some things
dont happen) so use trainers carefully.

Hint:
-----

This is not a cheat just a tip to how to quickly finish of the golem or the
mummy when fighting either of them make sure you have atleast two sands of time
slots full then hit on the back side of the legs where thereis no armour after a
few hits it will bend jump on it and activate slow motion hit it many times until
it raises its hand to catch you now jump on to the armor opposite to where the golem
is raising its hand then when it removes it again jump back on to its neck and activate
slow motion and start hitting it it will fall.

Hint:
----

When in the mystic caves you reach a gate which you have to open via switch,
open the gate .Get in .Just after the gate drop down the ledge.Break the left
wall .Break the rack & pick up the light sword.It has maximum damage,blocking
power & attack rate.Remember you will loose it if you will throw it.


Hints:
------


In this section I give you only a few points which can make the game easier for you :

1) when the prince becomes the sandwraith use "R" constantly while fighting as the
game becomes slow and sands are replenished automatically.

2) most of the times you do not need to fight all the soldiers.sometimes if you
just monkey crawl on a platform side then you can avoid conflict.

3) when you are hanging on a ledge and monkey crawling then no one can harm you
except the ninga girls.

4)for the time travel buttons see which one glows first.then try the alternate
zigzag button.

5)when you run on platforms that break use "R" to slow down things.

6) throw your enemies of the cliff sides.thats a more intelligent form of combat.

Hint:
-----


this is actually not a cheat;-
in this game there are other weapons also besides the miscelleneous weapons having
same qualities like those miscelleneous weapons,,,, like the big sword of crowman
it has the capacity of one hit kill but it break offs after 4 or 5 hits, and the
sword dena has the capacity of returning back the lost life to the prince with each
succesfull blow on enemy and the swords of the invisible ninzas have the maximum
attack and damage rate but it also increases the damage given by the enemy with
each succesful blow on enemy.

Hint:
-----

this is actually not a cheat:\
the role of background voices
o.k. for new users to the prince of persia games should listen to the background
voices while playing the game , if you are trapped anywhere in the game or lost or
cannot find the way to go further than the background voices are very helpfull.
and one thing more when you fight with big bosses in the game than don't click the
mouse continously or unnecessarily because if you click before the speed kill
system(when the computer monitor screen flashes) then the speed kill will not
performed & you will not be able to kill the bosses,.
and one thing also you should also listen to the black prince voice in the background
while fighting with the bosses he tells you how to kill the bosses.

Hint:
-----

This is tip for fighting to for the last time: first after animation suddenly slip
back and hang on the side of the ground. Then move towards the side and stand up,now
she will slows you down them slip back and after her power use you slow slowdown and
fight with her(always keep only little distance from the ends of ground)fight like
this for many time . Then after some time she uses his sands power and sends sand cyclon,
the better way to avoid this is,first some how escape from it then you can go at the
back of the cyclon and do this till it disappears you can easily win the game

Hint:
-----

When you are in the catacombs,when the dahaka is chasing you second time ,when there
are two ways to go,consider using slow time,move to left where you will find a metal
gate.Near to that gate you will find a rack,hit it.Pick up the weapon it is rayman fist.
It does not damages much but gives you a chance to fall your enemies on ground.it doe
not break but if you throw it you loose it for good.

GLOVES:
-------

When the Dahaka follows you for the second time after defeating the princess for first
time.You have two ways infront of you.Go to the left, you see a rack of weapons just
infront of you to your left slow down the time break it and you get a Gloves which is
unbreakable.

Duck-Mace:
----------

One of the miscellaneous secondary weapons is the Duck-Mace. After earning scorpion/water
swoard go to the garden tower.Trere were 4 livers and a statue on the middle. You have to
climb up on the ladder and climb up another ladder and jump on the back platform. Climb a
ladder and run on wall and catch a ledge and jump on the floor. There is 3 ways, you must
go the middle and find a time portal. Come to present. Come back to the roof and you see
a Cracked wall(which Dahaka brak's during run). Go in the wall and jump behind. You see a
switch left side of you. press it and see an altar climb it and catch the bim above in.
Jump on the wall and climb down. Break the designed wall and you will find Duck-Mace.

The Duck-Mace is almost unbreakable and does almost no damage.

If any problem during play E-mail me at aaninda_das@yahoo.com

Hint:
-----

When you get the sword that can break the cracked wall you go to the 1st tower at the
ending time of the game you go to the babylon where at the bagnning the dahaka chase
you ther you are supposed to break a cracked wall & you should get the secret weapon.

Cheat:
------

Use a simple combo which is L-click L-click L-click E
When you have 2 weapons in prince's hand.

Kill Dahaka:
------------

I have found an easiest policy 2 kill dahaka. Use slow motion when kailina throws
dahaka at the ledge and it hangs there. Kill him with slow motion. After ending any
Fraction use another verry quickly. This must kill dahaka. I have ended the game more
than 50 times so mail me at any problem.

Rayman Fist unbreakable:
------------------------
The Rayman is one of the tougher secondary secret weapons to get because of the Dahaka.
It is located in the Catacombs. (Where you have to pull those three stones out of the
wall to raise the central area.) After pulling the first, go to the stairway, make a
right, run on two walls and jump to the bar on the right side. Swing from the bar and
follow the path. (Make a quick left.) Then use the Scorpion Sword to break through and
retrieve the Rayman Fist. The Rayman fist is unbreakable and has a high attack rate but
does little damage. If you throw it, you lose it for good.

Pink Flamingo Weapon:
---------------------
To get this weapon you'll need a sword that can break walls. In the Garden Hall (Present),
starting from the middle passageway at the very top of the hall, do a wall run to the rope,
then a wall run to the central platform. Turn left and walk directly through the wall of
rubble in front of you. You'll turn around and grab the platform you were just standing
on. From here, jump across the gap to the next platform. To your left you'll see another
platform with a switch. Make your way there, hit the switch, then return to the platform
you were just on. There will now be a block you can climb on. From the top of the block,
do a vertical wall run + jump to reach the beam above you. Walk along the beam to the
right, then jump to the ledge on the far wall. Follow the ledge around to an alcove.
Drop into the alcove and break the rear wall on the right-hand side to expose a weapon
rack. Break the rack and you'll be able to pick up the Pink Flamingo, an unbreakable
secondary weapon that does moderate damage and knocks all regular enemies to the ground
with one hit.

Go as maggot man:
-----------------
When you reach the portal room for the second time, when you have to switch the time to
the present for the first time, the Prince will say that something is wrong. You must run
the switches on the wall to make the portal work correctly. Do not run the switches on
the wall. Instead, enter the portal as it is and you will switch the time to the present.
Save the game, then exit and load the game. You will now be playing as the maggot man.
In this mode you will constantly lose life and much more health when hit than in normal
mode. However your attacks will be very powerful and you are much more quicker.
Note: Save the game on a different file if you wish to continue the game as the Prince.


MISCELLANEOUS WEAPON- GLOVE:
----------------------------

AFTER YOU BEAT KAILEENA AND RUN.SCENE.YOU REACH IN A HALL WHERE YOU HAVE TO RUN 3 TIMES
BECOZ OF DAHAKA.THE THIRD TIME YOU GET THE HALL,YOU HAVE TO RUN AGAIN.RUN AND REACH WHERE

Note:
-----
Codes marked with a * is confirmed working, the others might have to be
activated by another method. Someone suggested that they might work with
an EA account, but since i don't have that, i can't test them. Codes with
* don't have to be typed with a *, just in case you're wondering.

Another issue with the codes, is that when you type one wrong, it's like,
it's blocking and you can't type others. Only solution to that, is to
restart game :(

We decided to release the codes for you all now, since the demand is high,
maybe you can see the light in getting the others working? Have fun :)

Special Note:
-------------
The 3 last codes wasn't found in the main game exe, if you look a little
deeper, you will find them, you actually need a tool other than notepad,
before you can be successful.


Extra money:
------------
Have a saved game file from Need for Speed: Most Wanted on your hard drive
for a $10,000 bonus when you start career mode.

Easier Speedtrap races:
-----------------------
Activate your Blocker/Brawler before the race. While racing and you are
coming up to a speed trap, stop your Blocker/Brawler. This will crash the
other car(s), and drastically slow down their time. Remember that the peak
Blocker/Brawler moment is just before the speed trap.

Easy wins:
----------
In races where crew members are used, used a scout (Yumi if possible).
If you do not win the race, your scout will.

Crew members:
-------------
Complete the indicated task to unlock the corresponding crew member.
Sal: Complete four to six races.
Yumi: Defeat Kenji.

Need for Speed V-Rally

Need for Speed V-Rally

As soon as the screen goes white for the
Infogrames logo press Up, Down, Triangle,
Circle, Up, Down, Triangle, then Circle. Once
lock of appears on the screen press the
following for extra cheats. The lock off cheat
will let you select the Arcade Medium and Hard
courses without having to complete the previous
courses.

Cheat:How to use it:
Unlimited TimePress and hold Left + L1 to get
infinite time on Arcade mode The race continues
even if the checkpoints are not crossed before
time expires, so you should have no trouble
going round backwards and crashing into the
other drivers for a laugh.
Narrow TracksPress and hold Left + L2. The
Arcade tracks are now narrower ­ as confirmed by
the 'Narrow Tracks Loading' message before a
race. These tracks are usually earned by
completing the Arcade Hard courses when the
difficulty level is set on Ace. You will need
sharp eyes indeed to spot the slight difference
between them and the normal tracks, but it is
there.

JeepPress and hold Left + R1. A small Jeep will
replace the Peugeot 106 Maxi (see below for
details of the jeep's performance). This cheat
also activates the secret Rollercoaster track.
Restart RacePress and hold Left + R2 to allow an
Arcade mode race to be restarted. This
effectively gives you infinite continues which
should help when the computer-controlled bandits
run you off the road five yards from the finish
line.

Debug ModePress Left then Right. Game debug
information will be displayed. Press Start to
access a 'Memory' option that displays more
information. Quite how useful this can be is a
mystery. Unless, of course, you happen to have
programmed the game.

All CheatsIf you want the first four cheats
active at the same time, simultaneously press
and hold Left + L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 when the 'Lock
Off' message appears.

Toyota CelicaYes, it is in there, but there's no
easy way to get it. You have to complete Arcade
and Championship on Pro level, coming first in
each. Now use same car on first Arcade track
(Corsica) in Time Trial and set a lap record
under 1 minute. The barrier on the left after
the start should disappear ­ drive down the lane
to obtain the Celica.

Rollercoaster TrackTo get this stomach-churning
course, simply activate the cheat for the Jeep,
then select the 'Sweden 1' Championship track in
Time Trial mode. The screen should say it's
loading the '????' stages to indicate you've
accessed the secret circuit.
The track itself is a real humdinger. You can
put your foot down at the start as the two bends
you come to are very slight, but as soon as
you're on the viaduct, hit the brakes and slow
right down. The reason for doing this is that
the small bumps following it are extremely
deadly - even a fraction of excessive speed can
send you spinning, or worse make you crash into
the invisible barrier that seems to cover the
top half of the screen.

When you're past this bit you can really put
your foot down. Come out of the next hard left
corner at high speed and head down the dip.
Don't go too fast, though, as there's a sharp
right turn as you get to the tunnel. Cruise
round the selection of corners and head up the
steep hill with the hammer down - avoid hitting
the sides or you'll stall the engine and be
dragged to the bottom again. Be wary of losing
control on your way down this mother of all
drops, as you'll be reaching speeds of 270 kph
or more - we're talking terminal wipe-out if you
screw up.

Following this there's an even bigger hill for
you drive up, and going down the other side is
no picnic as there are many lethal corners to
negotiate. When you're past this nightmare
there's only a small dip and right bend to
negotiate as you head for the finish line,
looking a bit green.

When you press the code "resetya" and you start the
race, you can reset all the other cars on the track
by horning.
The cheat "outmyway" is the same, but then you let
the tires of the other cars explode.

Gametip:
--------
There is a cheat enabler which you have to download

unzipped it extract "config.dat" to all the folders you
want to unlock. I know the other entries say you must

in at the main menu, this is crap I have tried it and it
does not work do as I have told you.

Now load the game and have fun, just watch out it may reset
your settings for the game. If you enter Single Player

GameTips
--------
Tip 8:
------
Never begin to accelerate at before the race begins.
When the last red light is about to go off, then only
accelerate and you will get acceleration just as the
computer cars do.

Tip 7:
------
When the race is over, just watch the replay of the
computer cars. You wil learn a lot from them!


Tip 6:
------
Truly worthwhile shortcuts are few and far between.
If winning is your priority, spend your time perfecting
racing lines on the track and stay clear of reckless
opponents.

Tip: 5
------
It takes some time to get in the distinctive Need for Speed
groove. This is especially important for multiplayer games.
You may leave the game overnight after a long and successful
stint only to come back in the morning and play like a rookie.
Play the game for at least half an hour before attempting any
multiplayer High Stakes duel, where losing the game means
losing your car.

Tip: 4
------
Successful High Stakes cornering is a specialized discipline.
You really shouldn't worry about slowing well in advance of a
turn.
Instead, go in fairly hot, hit the brakes with extreme force for
just a moment or two while you begin to crank the wheel, and get
right back on throttle again and power out.

Tip: 3
------
High Stakes cars respond well to torque. In other words, really
work that gearshift to keep engine RPM in the optimum range--just
over the redline. If you select an automatic tranny you will feel
the ignominy of last place.

Tip: 2
------
Take a car with good grip and snappy handling over a high-speed
monster any day. Of course, a top-of-the-line McLaren with full
upgrades is always preferable to a stock Firebird.
But if money is an issue, you can feel safe with a nicely upgraded
B-level model in a field of A-level cars, especially on the more
technical circuits.

Tip: 1
------
Fog, tire smoke, and dirt clouds can obliterate vision and slow
the frame rate. Switch them off.


HeX-Cheat:
----------
Use any HEX editor to edit the file called PLAYERS.CDB
which is located in the installed directory of
Need for Speed 4 : High Stakes.

Normally the PLAYERS.CDB file is located in :
"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\
Need For Speed High Stakes\SaveData\DB"

Then go to offset 3E and put FF as HEX value.
Go to offset 3F and put 55 as the HEX value.

Now you'll get more than $3500000000!

Need for Speed 3 - Hot Pursuit

To get all cars type-Allcars:
-----------------------------
Richie Rich, Submitted the following Information:
Email: prabhjot91@hotmail.com

To get different traffic cars type-
go01,go02,go03,go04,go05,go06,go07,go08,go09,go10,
go11,go12,go13,go14,go15,go16,go17,go18,go19,go20

To go fast type - gofast(only in single race)


short cuts:
-----------

Aquatica
1. After the initially left, right, right, right turns, now
during the next long and gradual left turn, there is a
shortcut entrance in the right wall. Upon exiting the
shortcut, turn right.

2. Right before you go through the tunnel that takes you
back onto the boardwalk, you can go off the road to the
left and go over the tunnel, and land back on the track
on the other side. It doesn't really save any time, but
if it's a choice between going around and slamming into
the side of the tunnel, go around.

Atlantica
1. After driving past that "Electronic Arts" landmark
(at roughly half way into a lap), take the left path,
then right. You'll immediately see a shortcut entrance
in the right wall. Upon exiting the shortcut, you'll
need to turn right.

Country Woods
1. (Backwards) There is one difficult left hairpin
turn after all those 90 degrees sharp turns (at about
half way into a lap). Instead of making that hairpin
turn, do this: A few seconds before approaching that
hairpin turn, you can make a sharp left turn (with the
help of your handbrake) and drop to the lower level.
While still in the mid-air, continuously press that
L1 reset button. You'll immediately recover from that
crash landing and "skip" that hairpin turn. This saves
you at least 3 seconds. One other trick on this track:
there is one big and high jump at the beginning of this
backward track (your car hitting the roof of the tunnel).
Once landed, keep straight and accelerate all the way till
you hit hard at the wall. When you crash, immediately
press the L1 reset button to continue. This way you don't
have slow down to make that 90 degree turn and can easily
gain 2+ seconds.

Empire City
1. There are light poles on your LEFT side when you
just pass the start/finish line. Immediately before
the 4th light pole, you'll find a shortcut entrance.
After exiting the shortcut, go STRAIGHT. There is a
wall in front of you but a little bit to your left is
another shortcut entrance. Upon exiting this shortcut,
turn right.

2. Immediately after the second SET of concrete pillars
(when near the end of a lap), you will easily see a
"fake wall" on your right side. Drive through it and
you'll drop to the lower level. This saves you 2 to 3
seconds.

Redrock Ridge
1. About half way into a lap, you'll have to make a
difficult left hairpin turn. There is an alternative
left turn immediately before that hairpin turn.

Rocky Pass
1. Where you see the falling-rock road sign, right
past that sign, there is a small and short cave tunnel
off-road to you right. Driving through it instead of
making that sharp right turn on the road will save you
some time.

GameTip:
--------
Type \"cars\" to get all the cars and type \"empire\" to get
the bonus track.
(type in cheat codes at the race menu.

Empire city shortcut:
---------------------

move from the starting line, after 2-3seconds two big
boxes will appear,there will be a gap between them some

the buildings.It save7-8second

Super Jumps in Empire city:
---------------------------

in the empire city there is an 390 degree turn, Before
you go for that turn you move down.So the tip is that
before you move down, move right there will be a small
open passage move on that passage with full speed and at
the end you willjump on other passage but dont slowndown
speedup more the real jump.For more high speed use the
cheat (gofast)

fence ends near a lot of trees.

Atlantica shortcut:
-------------------
When you are at the split roads, stay to the right. A wooden
passage will be visiable at the second split. Use the hand
brake and turn into it. Then drive straight. You then have to
go left and then straight. After that, turn right.

More distance between the police:
---------------------------------
After the police are on your tail, flip a U-turn by pressing
[Space] (E-Brake) so you are heading right for them. Once you
pass them, they will also turn around. Flip another U-turn and
quickly accelerate. Flipping the U-turn takes the police more
time, and will give you a couple more seconds to get ahead of
them.

This is the rarest car in the game.. there is only one, it is the car that
