Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire.

Be All You Can Be

To everyone's surprise, the July 1997 issue of Nintendo Power has brand new Shadows of the Empire codes that were never seen anywhere before. Though just a novelty, these codes let you be an AT-ST, Wampa or Storm Trooper.

1. Select a new save slot and enter _Wampa__Stompa as your name. Note that it must be exactly like that because it's case-sensitive. Also note that the _ is a space.
2. You should select Medium as your difficulty level. Why? One of the tricks below supposedly won't work unless it's on that level of difficulty. But readers have told us that the difficulty level doesn't matter. Experiment for yourself.
3. Finally, once your game has started, pause the game. Now go to the Options menu and choose Control. You must put your controller setting must to Traditional.

AT-ST

Once the AT-STs appear in the second round of the "Battle of Hoth," press Left on the D-Pad and press the Right C button -- both at the same time. Immediately after pressing those two, press Up on the D-Pad. Now use the Right C button to scroll through the camera views until you see the AT-ST. You can use the D-Pad to move the AT-ST and you can press Up on the D-Pad to fire.

Wampa

In "Escape from Echo Base," press Left on the D-Pad and press the Right C button -- both at the same time. Immediately after pressing those two, press Up on the D-Pad. Now use the Right C button to scroll through the camera views until you see the Wampa. You can use the D-Pad to move the Wampa and you can press Down on the D-Pad to attack.

Storm Trooper

In "Escape from Echo Base," press Right on the D-Pad and press the Right C button -- both at the same time. Immediately after pressing those two, press Up on the D-Pad. Now use the Right C button to scroll through the camera views until you see the Storm Trooper. You can use the D-Pad to move the Storm Trooper and you can press Down on the D-Pad to attack.

NOTES:

(These notes apply to all three of the "characters.")

• Try the codes on other "Doom-like" levels and see what other kind of Troopers you may be able to control!
• You can switch back and forth between the "characters" and Dash by pressing the Right C button. Even if you're using one of the "characters," you can still control Dash (though you won't see him) with the Control Stick.
• If the "character" you're using gets destroyed or dies, you can simply repeat the trick to get another one.
• You can use the AT-ST to shoot down the Rebel ships that you normally control! You can also use the Storm Trooper to kill other Storm Troopers and Wampas!
• The only two moves these "characters" have are to walk and to attack. They cannot open doors (unless it's automatic), cannot jump, etc.
• Both tricks that are done in "Escape from Echo Base" can be done unlimited numbers of time, but you can only be the Wampa or Storm Trooper at one time. Just do the trick above to alternate between the two.

Results of Collecting Challenge Points

Collect all the challenge points on the Easy setting and during the game hold down the camera button for five seconds and you get the Leebo Scanner

Collect all the challenge points on the Medium setting and during the SkyHook Battle stage hold down the camera button for five seconds and you can fly as an X-WING. Hold down the button for another five seconds and you can fly as a TIE Fighter. If you hold down the button for another five seconds after that, you'll go back to the Outrider.

Collect all challenge points on Hard setting and in the game you get invincibility for 30 seconds and start with all weapons.

Collect all challenge points on Jedi setting and the Wampas in the "Escape from Echo Base" stage will follow you and attack your enemies.

See the Ending

This cheat comes to you courtesy of "The Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire Fully Authorized Strategy Guide by Ziff-Davis Publishing" (whew, say that three times fast). By doing this cheat, you will be able to see the ending to Shadows of the Empire.

This trick to see the ending without completing the game is very easy to do. All you have to do is enter your name as _Credits and pick any level to play. Note that it must be exactly like that because it's case-sensitive. Also note that the _ is a space. Who knows who or what just may be in these particular credits...

NOTE: By choosing different levels of difficulty, you'll be able to see different Wampa comments and more of the ending on the higher levels. Also, after watching through the credits once, press start to go to the title screen. Once you are there, push the Control Stick to the upper-right to see a picture of the SOTE development team.

Mission 10 : Skyhook Battle

• Story: Coming very soon!
• Overview/Objective: ...
• Stage 1: ...

Bosses :

• AT-ST: If you're playing on easy, it's simple. Go get the invincibility, then run under it and blast straight up. If you're not on easy, there are two ways. One is to run around behind it and shoot upwards. When it turns around, just run around behind it again. You won't take much damage if you touch the legs, just don't get shot! The other way is to climb up onto the boxes and onto the ledge. This puts you at the same level as it's upper body. Shots to the upper body do the most damage, so blast away. Seekers do the most damage.
• IG-88: When you first get here, you need to start running. After you have picked up the challenge points, climb up as high as you can. This way he won't be shooting down at you. He will jump up to your level. Blast him with a few seekers when he jumps over to you, then run away and pick up health and ammo. Repeat this hit and run process for an easy kill. If you are more impatient, just let him jump next to you and trade your point-blank seekers for his pulse cannon. You might lose a life, but it's quick. :-)
• Boba Fett: When you hear him fire the seeker, just run or jump to avoid getting hit. What I found easiest was to stay on the ground, and shoot up at him with the normal blaster, (or pulse cannon) and when he comes down, try to get close to him so you can blast him a bit more at point-blank range, then jetpack around and pick up necessary health and ammo. Then get back on the ground and repeat the process. You can take a break from fighting him, go pick up the challenge points and extra items that are outside the arena, then come back to finish the fight. Bobes is pretty patient. :-)
• Slave 1 (The ship after Boba Fett): It's nice to have alot of seekers or pulse cannon ammo stored up for this. There are two easy ways to defeat this. From the ground or at the top. If you stay on the ground and blast it with seekers and pulse cannon shots, it will go down pretty fast. (Flamethrower will work nice also, but you need to be close) Alternately, if you fly up to the top quickly, you can aim down at it as it comes up to you and blast it the entire time. (When it gets to the top, jetpack all the way down and repeat the process) If you are out of special weapons, your shots need to be more precise in order to do damage. In this case, I would recommend that you fly up to the top, shoot at it until it comes level with you, then take a few last shots before you fly down to repeat the process.
• Loader Droid: The easiest way I found to defeat the loader droid is to use a multiplayer Doom/Duke/Quake technique called circle-strafing. What you do is basically always face the droid as you circle around it. (and of course shoot it!) It doesn't matter what weapon you use, because you shouldn't get hit at all if you do this correctly. If you hold the R button down, you will move without turning. So face the droid, shoot at him, hold the R button down, slide to the side, then let go of the R button, turn to face him, shoot him, hold down the R button, slide more to the side, let go, shoot, etc... Since the droid will always follow you, you just keep sliding circles around him and shoot. Since you will hardly ever stop moving, you shouldn't ever get hit. (This technique might take a bit of practice, but once you learn it, try it out on your friends in multiplayer Quake. It's much easier with a keys to slide and the mouse to turn!)
• Giant Dionaga: The object is to shoot the dark red tentacle with the eye on the end. After you shoot it a bit, it will jump around. If you shoot the regular tentacles, they will just regenerate, so you should only shoot them when they come near you. The easiest way to defeat this boss is to use the pulse cannon or regular blasters on the eye-tentacle. Stay in the center of the beast just above the mouth and use the Z-button to aim around and hit the eye-tentacle. (Make sure you don't fall into the mouth!) If the eye-tentacle goes up too high for you to hit it, swim up higher, but stay in the center.
• Gladiator Droid:
• • Part 1 (The whole droid): Use the third person OVERHEAD view. Just stay behind the droid and shoot him. You can't take damage from touching the droid so run right up against him and when he turns, just run around behind him. You should never get hit, so just use the normal blaster and save your weapons for the next parts.
  • Part 2 (The upper body): The easiest way to defeat this part is to stay on the center panel, jump up (or jetpack up) and hit it with a few well placed disruptor shots (or a bunch of seekers). Jumping at the right time will avoid some of hit shots (but not all), and be sure to jetpack out of the way when he fires his seekers at you.
  • Part 3 (The head): The easiest way to defeat the head is to get down on the ground DIRECTLY beneath the head, use the Z-button to aim straight up at it, and blast it with the flamethrower. If you are out of flamethrower, a few well placed disruptor shots from farther away will also do the trick. If all else fails, just get beneath it, fire anything you've got straight up at it, and hope you kill it before it takes all your lives away. :-) (Even with no weapons, you should be able to kill it only losing a few lives)
