Subject: Broken Helix Walkthrough Complete!
Date: Thu, 19 Jun 1997 17:32:44 -0500 (CDT)

NOTES: The following guide is meant to provide a full walkthrough of the game
   allowing the user to pick up all of the powerups. If you keep running into
   problems with time, especially if the military is showing up too soon, it
   might be a good idea to ignore some of the powerups and find a shortcut
   through the level. Notice that within each section plot lines may seperate
   slightly and will be noted as such.

GENERAL HINTS, TIPS & NOTES:
   1) Avoid roving security cameras by watching their position on map. When
      they are moving away from you, move in and stun them quickly.
   2) You can safely be spotted twice by security cameras.
   3) If you destroy a camera before diffusing the second bomb you lose 3
      minutes of time before Fitz will detonate the bombs.
   4) Once on Level 3 security cameras become pretty much irrelevant except
      to view the contents of rooms.
   5) Try to stun an armed scientist and search him for any items he/she may
      have. Then kill 'em to remove them as a future annoyance!
   6) DO NOT engage the military unless you get the Alien Weapon.
   7) When you need to follow a character turn on the map and try to stay
      one step ahead in order to clear the way. If you get too far ahead
      they'll stop where they are until you get close again. If they move in
      a different direction re-position yourself in front along their line of
      travel.
   8) If you get far enough away from Reese/Jenkins/Warrior (on the map!)
      you can safely move about to get powerups since they'll be left alone.
   9) Wat ya starin' at grunt? dGet goin'! Time's a wastin'!

trying to shoot him yet. Head towards Jenkins. He and Tonka will talk to
Reese and kill him. Now aliens will start to come out of the woodwork to kill
your little party. My suggestion is to let Jenkins and Tonka do most of the
killing since they have more powerful weapons. Stand facing Jenkins just
to his left side taking shots in your back that are headed for him while
watching behind. Just as you kill the last alien you'll receive a transmission.

SECTION 20 - LEVEL 9 PROTECTING REESE
-------------------------------------
ITEMS: (4 EP, 5 GR, 5 HE, 5 CD, 3 LE, 3 SE, 1 EA, 1 NA, Alien Weapon Attachment)

PLOT 1 - If you do the following quickly and efficiently you should be able
to stay ahead of the marines. (If you find that the marines show up too soon
and kill Reese I suggest that you head directly to the Teleport and forget
the powerups.) Anyway, as you get off of the elevator enter the door with
the Reactor Control room sign above it. Grab the EP in the middle then head
to your right. Take another right after grabbing the EP in the next room.
>From here on in just follow the path ahead of you to the Teleport room. In
the hallway to the Teleport room you'll be contacted by Reese. As you enter
head for the back of the room and grab the GR in the back right corner before
heading up the ramp. Turn to you left and go the end for an HE. Cross the
bridge behind you getting the GR. Turn right for the EP. Now head for the
Teleport console at the back of the top portion of this room getting a GR, HE
and CD on the way. Hit the teleport and Reese will show up near you. Now
things get interesting. I would suggest that you turn the Map on and keep it
on. Get in front of Reese and try to kill any Hybrids in the immediate
vicinity. Reese will try to kill any enemies close by so try to get them first.
If you get too far away from Reese he will stop. Remember, time is VERY
critical at this point since you're trying to beat the military to the reactor
control room. Move forward keeping Reese behind you. Pause and let Reese
catch up. If you see Reese start to move in another direction, re-position
yourself in front of him moving in this new direction. Repeat this all the
way to the Reactor Control Room grabbing an LE, CD and SE along the way. If
you go straight instead of following Reese left down the hallway to the Reactor
Control room you can pick up 2GRs and a CD that you jump to. Personally, I
find this to be a waste of time. When you first enter the Reactor Control Room
you can get the LE and HE on opposite sides of the pillars holding the bridge.
head up the ramp and around the corner to the right.
(NOTE: If you need more powerups you can head across the bridge and around the
corner. Follow the hallway into a room with a Warrior Hybrid, kill it and
collect the powerups - LE and CD. There is a hidden room to the left as you
enter for an additional EP and EA!) Let Reese get ahead of you to open the door.
Drop down and kill the hybrids near here. With luck you'll have entered the
room before encountering the military. To the left of the bridge as you came
in is the 2nd half of the Alien Weapon. Also on the bottom portion of this
room are 2SEs a HE and a NA. Go to the small lift, grab the HE and CD then turn
and inspect the droid.
*SCENE: Detonator affixed to the Reactor Control Droid.
Head back to Reese. Now its more important that ever to stay IN FRONT OF HIM.
Ready the Alien Weapon since you'll have at least one military person to deal
with as soon as you exit the room. Try to keep your distance and nail her
with 3 or 4 blasts from the Alien Weapon. "Follow" Reese in the same manner
outlined above to the elevator down to 10. There is another member of the
military to deal with in here. Kill 'em and head down to Level 10.

PLOT 1 - GOTO SECTION 22

SECTION 21 - LEVEL 9 PROTECTING WARRIOR
---------------------------------------
ITEMS: (SEE SECTION 20)

PLOT 2 - You can explore the level for powerups as outlined in the beginning
of SECTION 20 if you need them. When you get done acquiring powerups head
into the Reactor Control Room up the ramp and across the bridge. Follow the
ledge into a hallway. Enter the room at the end of the hallway to encounter
the Warrior Hybrid. Pick up the powerups and don't forget the hidden room
to the left as you enter! Turn on the map while dealing with the Warrior.
This makes it much easier to keep track of. Stay ahead and try to kill any
marines that are in the immediate vicinity since the Warrior will pause and
try to kill them. Also, don't get too far ahead of the Warrior or it will
pause. When it changes direction get ahead of it again in its new direction.
"Follow" it to the elevator leading down to Level 10.

PLOT 2 - GOTO SECTION 22

SECTION 22 - LEVEL 10 GETTING TO THE REACTOR
--------------------------------------------
ITEMS: (4 HE, 1 SE, 1 LE, 2 NA, 2 GR)

PLOT 1,2 - EXTRA: As you exit the elevator you can head to the right
to SECTION 23 and a bunch of powerups. Once you're far enough away,
Reese/Warrior will be left alone. There is an HE and SE on the way to the lift.

PLOT 2 - "Follow" the Warrior in the same manner mentioned in SECTION 21, Pick
up the powerups along the way and enter the sidecar. SAVE YOUR GAME!
(NOTE: You can go up the ramp for a couple more powerups if you wish.)

PLOT 1 - "Follow" Reese in the same manner mentioned in SECTION 20, Pick up
powerups along the way and head up the ramp. At the end is a lift to the
Control Room for the Reactor Droid. Make sure the Alien Weapon is equipped
and take the lift up. Immediately start nailing Tonka with the Alien Weapon.
He takes ~6 hits before he's vaporised. Hit the switch on the console to
set the Reactor Droid on its merry way. "Follow" Reese to the sidecar.
SAVE YOUR GAME!

PLOT 1 - GOTO SECTION 24

PLOT 2 - GOTO SECTION 25

SECTION 23 - POWERUPS IN CAVERNS BENEATH LEVEL 10
-------------------------------------------------
ITEMS: (7 GR, 4 LE, 2 CD, 4 EP, 3 HE, 2 HA)

PLOT 1,2 - This part is anything but easy. Careful or you'll get lost very
quickly. I would also suggest turning on the map to keep from falling into the
center of the world. Alright let's see if I can describe the quickest path to
all of the powerups. Hmmm... Once you've dropped down facing a wall go to
your right. Head forward for a LE. Follow to the left to grab 3 GRs and a CD.
Come back to for the 2 GRs and EP. Follow the edge on your left to an LE.
You are now in front of the place where you came in. Head along the left
edge for an HE and cross a narrow piece of land for another HE. Continue
forward but now follow the edge on your right. You'll pass a large cylindrical
structure with an LE in front of it. Continue right to get the HA. Head back
to the LE and around the cylinder keeping the wall on your right hand side.
At the end you'll find 2 EPs and a CD. Head back to the narrow crossing that
brought you in front of the cylinder. Cross and head forward towards 2 GRs
near the right edge (You might have spotted these while picking up HE #2).
Straight ahead is another HE and another cylindrical structure. Head left
around the structure and pick up an LE, EP and HA coming full circle. (Its
important to head left since at this point Reese/Warrior is most likely
directly overhead. If you head right they'll start moving and the AI of the
game is such that they'll start getting shot again.) Keep the edge to your
right as you move forward and you should eventually see where you came in.
Simply head back up and join your party (Reese/Warrior).

PLOT 1,2 - GO BACK TO SECTION 22

SECTION 24 - BLACK DAWN AND THE REACTOR
---------------------------------------
ITEMS: (5 LE, 2 EP, 1 HE)

PLOT 1 - As you leave the sidecar ...
*SCENE: Black Dawn roughs you up a bit as Jenkins shows up to say hi.
With your Alien Weapon just start nailing Black Dawn! Try to keep your
distance since the blast radius of the Alien Weapon is large.
*SCENE: Strap 2nd detonator to the back of Black Dawn!
There are 4 LEs around the circular "moat" Once your done take the lift
up to Reese who's standing just outside of the reactor core. Grab the
powerups, talk to Reese and "follow" him across the bridge.

PLOT 1 - GOTO SECTION 27

SECTION 25 - BLACK DAWN/JENKINS AND THE REACTOR
-----------------------------------------------
ITEMS: (SEE SECTION 25)

PLOT 2 - The Warrior will stop at the missing bridge piece. Drop down into
the circular trench. This is where life gets interesting. You are now to
be treated to THE most difficult battle in the entire game!!! You must
dispose of both Black Dawn and Jenkins but you have no idea how many hit
points they have unlike PLOT 1. The best method I've found for dealing with
them is as follows... Head to the left to meet up with Black Dawn. Start
nailing him with the Flamethrower and rotate around him to your left so you
end up with the wall on your left. Start backing up a little bit but not
out of range of the flamethrower. Jenkins will show up shortly and begin
blasting Black Dawn in his back since they're both lined up against the inner
wall. Now back up around the inside wall out of their view and switch to the
Alien Weapon. Start nailing Black Dawn with it in a hit and run pattern making
sure you stay close to the inner wall. Move back into his view, nail him
with the Alien Weapon then back up quickly so his missiles impact on the
inner wall. Eventually they'll both disintegrate. (If you hear "Ouch! That
Hurts" from Black Dawn the end is in sight!).
(WARNING: I went through approximately 4or5 NAs, 2or3 HAs and about 8-10 HEs
while trying to kill these guys. GOOD LUCK!)
Find the switch along the inner wall to raise the missing bridge section and
the Warrior will move across the bridge. Move to the lift that the Warrior has
now activated and take it up to the Reactor. Pick up the powerups then "follow"
the Warrior across the bridge.

PLOT 2 - GOTO SECTION 26

SECTION 26 - MEETING THE QUEEN
---------------------------------
ITEMS: (13 SEs, 1 EP, 2 HE, 1 LE, 1 HA, 1 CD, 1 NA)

PLOT 2 - "Follow" Warrior. Just before reaching the sidecar take a right and
around the powerup path until you come back to the sidecar. Enter the sidecar
and take it to meet the Queen.
*SCENE: Take off with Queen to her planet.

*** END OF PLOT 2 ***

SECTION 27 - KILLING THE QUEEN AND REDUCING AREA 51 TO RUBBLE!
--------------------------------------------------------------
ITEMS: (13 SEs, 1 EP, 2 HE, 1 LE, 1 HA, 1 CD, 1 NA)

PLOT 1 - "Follow" Reese/Warrior. Just before reaching the sidecar take a
right and around the powerup path until you come back to the sidecar. Enter
and SAVE! Follow Reese to the Force Field Control.
*SCENE: Jenkins shows up. Jake finds out what happened to his Dad. Jenkins
knocks out Reese. Queen eats Jenkins.
Now you get to fight the Queen! Actually there is a VERY EASY way to deal with
her. Equip the flamethrower and continuously nail her. Keep backing up out
of jaw range up the ramp. In this way you fry the gellous blobs that she
shoots at you. Just beware of Warrior Aliens who aren't thrilled with your
prescense.

(NOTE: I've been told that if you drop to your belly she can't touch you!!!
However I would imagine that you need to back yourself into a corner so the
Warriors can't get you either - THANX Dean C. McMillin for this excellent tip!)

Now you just have to get out of Force Field's radius. Talk to Reese and
follow him to the sidecar. Don't worry about Reese anymore since he can't be
killed by hybrids ?!? Follow him back to the Reactor Core, across another
bridge and back into the first sidecar on this level. Once you get to the
open area...

(NOTE: You don't HAVE to take Reese with you. But if you don't you have to
make your way back up to Level 9 to get clear.)

*SCENE: Reese and Co. emerge from Area 51 hacking and coughing. The military
is given new orders and you are released. You and wife retire to tropical
island never to see Reese again (?)

*** END OF PLOT 1 ***
