Damasecles blade
Axe: You start out with this too. It's just an axe... Damage: 1-2 Upgrade/s:
None

house.

Gun
==================
Common Items
==================
Converter: This little item changes some things into... other things. Useful
on shrooms.
Red Shrooms: These can be harvested to make gasoline. A paper must be found
to be
able to change them.
Other Shrooms: These are harvested for health. A paper is also needed to
make 'em work...
Large Health Kit: Mucho health for Ash. Fills the entire bar.
Small Health Kit: Small amount of health. Fills part of the bar.
Large Fuel Tank: Whole lotta fuel. Completely fills the saw.
Small Fuel Tank: Small thing of gas. Fills some of the tank.
Film Reels: These save your game.

==================
Walkthrough
==================
This is the meat of the file. The main reason you are probably here...
Before you get right into it, don't press the start button right
away.
You can hear some of Bruce Campbell's comments for a good laugh. Now press
the
freakin' start button... At the beginning, you start out in the cabin we all
know
and love. First off, you grab the tape reel from by the tape recorder. These
are
scattered throughout the game so you can save your progress. Deadites pop up
like
mad around here, so keep your guard up-- constantly. If the deadite begins
to flail
around, this is your chance to open a can.
Plant your chainsaw firmly in his mid-section and nail his head with
your other
weapon, complete with one-liner. Expect A LOT of deadite encounters during
the game. Make
sure to turn off the chainsaw when not in use, it saves fuel. The cellar is
locked, so
forget going down there for now. Go over into the bedroom and continue to
the next room. Over
on the piano is a page of the Necronomicon, so take it.
Don't go outside just yet. Move on over to the bathroom. Here, you
will find a
bottle of vitamins in the cabinet, and if you want, you can go over to the
toilet and relieve
yourself. Walk into the kitchen. In the fridge is a baloney sandwich with
too much mayo.
Out in the backyard, there is a gas can, a crowbar, and perhaps a couple of
mushrooms.
Move around to the front of the house. Over on the other side, there is a
large gas
can and the grave of Ash's old girlfriend. Go to the grave and take the
shovel. She'll be
poppin out of the ground, so expect that too. Now you want to head back
around to behind the
house again.
Run away from the cabin, out down the path. It's common to get lost
in this field-maze,
but it will eventually become familiar. Search the paths until you find a
lawnmower, walk up
and take the ripcord. It should be around the upper-area of the maze. From
here, make your way
over to the hellbilly house, which shouldn't be too far off from this area.
At the side of the
house, there is a generator. Go over to it and use the ripcord. The sound
will make two of the
residents break out and come after you. Show them what dying feels like. Go
into the house
through the now-open door. You now have possession of your trusty boomstick.
I suggest you
equip it. Go back outside and get the crank from over at the left side of
the house. Go into
the house again and collect the items in the area. Get on top of the table
and use your crowbar
to get into the attic. The old woman blabbers on and you end up looking for
some amulet.
Search the house; pick up whatever you can find. Go into the pig
stie and kill the
porkers inside. On the far end is a piece of a machine. Take that to the
room with the lake of
blood covering the floor. Use that piece and the crank on the machine. This
drains the blood down
a grate. Walk over to the grate and go down. Kill Mr. Piggy and take the
amulet. You should know
by now what to do with that. Go up to the old woman and watch the cutscene.
Seems that she's made
a temporary fool out of Ash...
The key to this boss is to get near the middle of it and swipe your
chainsaw at the head,
with a shotgun blast thrown in every once in a while for good measure. Once
the boss dies, you get
another page of the Necronomicon and a save reel, plus weed killer.
Go over to the labyrinth of plants again. Near the cemetary area is
a large plant blocking
your path. Use the weed killer and prepare for another boss. Say hello to
Tree-Bitch. One way to
take the bitch down is to get in close, between the tongue and large branch.
Take your chainsaw and
cut it down like you would any other tree. Eventually, the tree dies and you
get another page of
the book, plus a reel.
Now we get to meet another character, an old man. All this time,
he's been hiding behind
the gate like a little girl. You get the keys to your own car. He tells you
that he needs all of
the pages of the book to save the both of you. Sure. Now the weeds that were
the annoying maze are
gone, and clear paths are there. Go down past the cabin to your car. Use the
keys and the car rolls
back into the vertical beams that used to be the bridge. Take the trusty
battery and climb onto the
trunk of the car. Take the page from the beam. Now hop off, we have work to
do.
Go down the path that goes to the campsite. I suggest you avoid the
"bats", they are just an
annoyance. Over on the grill, by the picnic tables, is a can of lighter
fluid, so make yourself some
gas. Over at the area full of tents are some young whippersnappers that need
some attention. You'll
have to fight frantically, because they are quick little buggers. Once they
are six feet under, go
to the far tent, there is a journal inside. Now it's time to go up the stone
path to the pile of
rocks covering the mineshaft. Use the shovel... yes, Ash is an idiot. Go in,
use the box if you want.
If you haven't saved, save now. Stick the battery in the wall and head down
the tunnel. Over the log
we go... right over to the good old scoutmaster. We'll just say that the
scoutmaster isn't on our side.
The trick to pounding this guy is to run up to each of the three beams in
the room and taking a swipe
at the beam with your chainsaw when he comes up. If you're lucky, the rocks
will hit him. If you are
unlucky, they will hit you. After you beat the guy, you receive the key to
the archery field. As you
exit the mine, you find a tape reel. Go back around to the picnic table area
and open the nearby gate,
next to the church pamphlet. Once inside, go over to the tree and take the
necronomicon page.
At this point, three zombie campers start shooting arrows at you. Go
to them and chop em up.
The small cabinet/shed thingy is now open. Inside, there is the rifle. You
now have all five pages of
the book, so you can go back up to the graveyard. You can go straight up the
path to get there. There
is another tape reel here. Now old padre locks you in the graveyard and runs
off to hide. Search the
area and you will find a hat, a small tree, and a tombstone. Go to the front
of the church and place
the tombstone next to the doily, the hat in front of the second stone, and
the tree in front of the
last stone. The church is now unlocked. Go in and meet your third self. The
"boss" is about as hard as
a common deadite. All you have to do is keep a moderate area of space
between the two of you and shoot
him with your rifle and/or boomstick. He'll die (again) and you get a
chainsaw upgrade. Now we get the
pleasure of falling into the dark, evil ground.
Now make your way through this place. Eventually, thing become oddly
familar... Take the wrench
from this area at the end of the tunnel. Go to the leaky pipe next to the
projector and tighten the bolt.
You get a face full of blood. Go back around to the room with the chest and
go through the door. Guess
where you are. Yep, the fruit cellar. Annie from Evil Dead 2 is here, but
she's not quite on your side
this time. This boss has the uncanny ability to heal itself over time.
Attack and attack hard. In the
beginning, take timed shots with your gun. At close range, use your gun and
chainsaw at the same time.
She'll turn part-way through into the long-necked witch from Evil Dead 2.
After she dies, you go up to
the cabin. The "old man" opens the rift in time & space and you, Jenny, and
Evil Ash are sent back to
Damascus, in medievil times.
You fall out of the sky and are greeted by some primative. Walk
around the area and kill some of
the local evil. The skeletons will drop pieces of the bridge mechanism.
Combine the three pieces and put
the mechanism into the mouth of the bridge. Walk across and kill the
skeleton in your way. At the other
side of the bridge is Abdul, the old man in the cell that told of you
showing up again. Talk to him and
head back over the bridge. Go to the first door, inside is a box of metal
you can use to upgrade a weapon.
Talk to the shopkeep, then go around to a wall with a few switches on it.
Press the switch and run over
to those big-ass doors that were just unlocked. Inside, there is a pot of
white powder. Take that. Go back
outside and go over to the guy standing in his shop. He will give you fifty
feet of rope. Combine the rope
and the powder and go back to the shopkeep. He will then give you the gas
tank to your own car.
Combine the gas tank and the bomb mix. Return to the mad poet and
blow his door up. He will take
you back to the place with big doors. He gives you some instructions and
lets you into the buildings inner
parts. Right away, you will get a weapon upgrade and a tape reel. Go down
one of the halls, doesn't matter
which one, because they are both the same. Go to the unlocked door and go
inside, you will find notes and
an opening in the wall. Go into the opening and fight the cloaked guard.
Take his key. Leave and go down
the other hall. Go to the locked door and use the key. You get to fight two
or three more cloaked guards.
Take the orb and leave the room. Now do the same thing, just with opposite
halls. Afterwards, take the two
orbs and place them in their rightful spots on top of the pedestals. This
opens a large doorway and you now
must fight the boss in the wild gettup.
This guy is easy, just go in and give him the beat-down. When he is
dead, the water drains from the
fountain. You are transferred to the stairway by means of cut-scene. Once
down there, go up to the golden
balance on the wall. Ash pulls a classic move, so you don't have to do this
puzzel. Heh heh heh. Go into the
steel door. In here, you are treated to another boss fresh off of Easy
Street. Shoot this guy until he is
deceased. Go over to the lever and pull it. More steps are drained. Exit the
room and go down the stairs.
Another tape reel is at the bottom of the steps. Inside of a room
down here is a lever. Pull it and
the drawbridge to the armory is lowered. Up the stairs you go... Leave the
building and go over to the armory.
Once inside, Ash realized how soon it is for another boss and decides to
haul it into another room. Good move,
because I don't feel like another boss right now. You get another tape reel
in this room. Go down the hall and
to the left. In here is two skeletons. Beat em and go into the next
left-hand room. Kill this one and receive
a hook and a tape reel. Stroll back out to the main hall and use the hook on
the chain hanging on the wall. Go
into the now-open doorway. First door here has a weapon upgrade kit inside.
Up the stairs is a key.
Back downstairs, in the hall, is the captain's quarters. Go in and
you will meet the captain. The
captain will try and kill you. Kill the captain. This guy was a piece of
cake, because I had plenty of ammo.
If you got the firepower, use it. The death of this guy will result with a
mold for a key. Now, you remember
that room with the molten metal and weapons and junk? Sure you do. Go there.
Over on one of the tables is a
thing for making keys out of molds. Use your mold, go up the stairs, and use
it on the battlement placemet
(that thing with levers). Watch the action unfold.. oh there's a problem. Go
over to the jammed rail and take
the broken piece.
Go down and enter the room that is NOT the captain's quarters.
Destroy the two fellas waiting here. Enter
the door on the right. Kill skeleton. Enter next door. Kill skeleton. You
now get the hammer. Go back to the
blacksmith room and fix the rail. Go up and replace it. You, of course, fall
down. Don't even bother using your
weapons (I learned this the hard way), instead you run to each side, pulling
the chain when Bigarmor comes near.
This mix of hot and cold will eventually destroy his armor and he will die.
You now get a tape reel and that groovy
upgrade to your chainsaw. Go back down into the catacombs where all the
water-draining took place. Enter the first
room and put the lever in place on the generator. Go back out.
Cut-scene takes over, a good-lengthed one at that. A monster comes
out of the ground. And what do we do
to monsters? Yes, we kill them. This blobby guy takes damage from your
chainsaw and only your chainsaw. Get in close
and carve. When he dies, the big door is unlocked. Inside is the old man.
How did he get in here if the door was
locked? Don't ask me buddy, HE'S the one that knows magic. Now he sends you
off on some mission to retrieve something
inside of the portal. This won't take long. Go in and kill anything that
moves. As you maneuver your way through
this strange place, you soon enough find your hand. It is abnormally still
and lifeless. Take your hand back to
the old man.
Now he sends you to a library. Knock off the two robe wearers first
off. Pick up the unlit torch. Up at the
mantle, you'll notice that one torch is there. Light your torch and put it
in the adjacent holder. Now you can see
spots on the tables. Count and remember the spots, then go over to the books
and push them in according to their
number. After they are pushed in order, a doorway opens. Inside is a tape
reel and the spell book. Collect them and
return through the vortex. After a little time with being your own hand (not
playable, just in a cut-scene), you and
the old man are attacked. Sorrily, Abdul doesn't make it. Ash makes a leap
for the vortex and runs into bad Ash and
your girlfriend.
Time for round one with your dark half. This round should go to
you, no problem. Just make use of that handy
saw you got strapped to your arm. Seemed rather easy, eh? Well sit tight,
'cause round two is a bitch and a half. This
creature that Evil Ash has transformed into is a serious mother. The key to
beating him is to run from pillar to pillar,
swinging at each with your chainsaw. Pick up every mushroom you see, because
you will need them. When all four pillars
are hit, he becomes temporarily invisible. This is when you strike. Go at
him with your chainsaw, no sidearms, just the
chainsaw. Then you do it all over again. After a while, he will die. This is
the end of the game. Hail to the king, baby.
==================
F.A.Q.s
==================
Q.>I own the playstation version, but my guess is there both the same.
Anyway I beat the game and I just wanted to know
if there's any secrets or hidden items to this awesome game to add
replay value. Let me know if there are any. Thanks.
A.>There are no secrets that I know of. (submitted by
LittleMisfit555@aol.com)
Q.>Does the one-liner button even serve a purpose?
A.>Yes. If you are in an empty area, the one-liner button can bring the
attention of some deadites, or, if you are
currently engaged in battle with a creature, it can either make it
attack more ficiously or make it run off in fear.
Plus, it's fun to press the button. (submitted by Neo10101@webtv.net)
Q.>Is there going to be a sequal?
A.>They're thinking about making one, but no promises. (submitted by
deviant-spy@webtv.net)
Q.>I can't find the frickin pig stie!!! Is it inside the house? Somewhere
on the gate??? HELP!!!
A.>The pig stie is inside of the house, you get to it from the room with
blood covering the floor. To unlock the door,
you need to get the key from granny in the attic. Use the crowbar on the
opening above the table in the living room to
get to granny. (submitted by ChoPskiLz@aol.com)
