DAY ONE - RESONANCE
CARNEGIE HALL: After viewing the insanely awesome intro FMV you are ready to begin. Start a new game and after a short and sweet little FMV sequence you will see Aya getting helped out of a limo at the opera house. You get a chance to name Aya...so go ahead leave her name as is or make one up for her. Once you get control of Aya just walk her through the opera house doors and once inside talk to the man standing there or don't...it's entirely up to you. Then go straight up and through the doors. The opera is in session, sit back and enjoy the VERY cool sequence that follows and once given control of Aya again just walk up onto the stage and a battle with EVE will follow.
EVE FIRST BATTLE - 40 HP: Don't waste any bullets on this pathetically easy boss (as you will need all you can save), just equip your police stick and run up to her while she is storing power for her beam and bash her. When she's about to shoot her beam at you (it's obvious when she is) simply run to the left or right to dodge it. You should have no problem AT ALL draining EVE's 40 HP and if you do I feel sorry for you. Once you defeat EVE, Aya has a sort of flashback and when she comes out of it EVE floats away. Pursue her to the next area where there is a large hole in the floor, and open the chest in the corner to get an 45HP replenishing vial (NOTE: Items in this game sometimes differ game to game...what is a 45HP+ vial in one game, may be something else when you play again). EVE has obviously gone into the depths of this hole and you must follow her. Choose the top choice which lets you jump on in. After a strange encounter (you'll see) you have control again and just go straight up where you see doors in the distance. You have reached a long hallway with numerous doors on both sides. All are locked on the first screen so move on down the hallway.
You will hear the shriek of a mouse and witness a very cool FMV which shows how the mitochondria mutation works (gross!). Now you must battle the dog sized rodent...no hard task. Once again CONSERVE AMMO, use your police stick. The fighting pattern of the mutant mouse is simple...he'll run at you, stop, and shoot three fireballs at you with his tail. The fireballs are almost EMBARASSINGLY easy to dodge allowing you a chance you run up and knock the little critter senseless. Once you have defeated the rat (you did DEFEAT the rat right?!) then you have access to the first two doors in this area.
Enter the right one and you will startle an opera performer who proceeds to run from the room. Go over to the lockers, open the one that is second from the left, and receive 6 bullet clip. Now enter the door on the left, open the third locker from the left and recieve another 45HP+ vial. Ignore the bodies on the floor, leave the room, and enter the third door down on the left side of the hallway. In the room open the chest in the corner for another 45HP+ vial and nudge the body at the desk so that it falls over. Search the body to recieve a key. Before you leave you can move some clothing in the back of the room and release a parrot that flies around, but this is completely pointless. When you're back in the main hallway run back to the first screen of the hallway and enter the door on the left. While you are running to this door you may encounter random mouse mutants, but they are just like the first one you met...and just as easy with only about 13 HP each. Once you have reached the room open the chest that is in plain sight to recieve a gun power-up. Now go over to the left corner and you can break through the wall to access a secret room. Enter the room, open the chest inside, and recieve some body armor that is definately better than what you are wearing now so EQUIP IT. Now you can leave the room OR open the wooden cabinet and battle the mouse mutant that comes soaring out...the choice is yours. Once you are back to the hallway enter the first door on the right and move EVE south to find a chest that holds a 45HP+ vial. Now you can leave through the door you came in or go north and exit through another door after fighting a group of baddies. Proceed north in the hallway to screen two of the hallway and enter the second door on the right. In this room open the closet in the back and get a 6 bullet clip then leave or mess with the parrot until it gets pissed and fights you. Anyway, once you are back to the hallway enter the door that is right across from the one you are at. Open the closet for another bullet clip and then read the book on then read the book on the table which gets you another key. Now that you have this key you can open the main door at the end of the hallway...do so (save first...). Inside you see EVE playing the piano (is this what she does in her spare time?) so go up to her and watch the FMV. Afterward it's time for another battle with her.
EVE SECOND BATTLE - 80 HP: Another simple boss. However, this time I do recommend the gun. Her pattern is simple so just watch her closely and you can't lose. She will float around and then fire beams at you, 2 beams this time instead of one. When you see her hands lighting up just move Aya BETWEEN her hands so that the beams go around you...one on each side. Then EVE will move to the left with the beams still going full blast so maneuver Aya up slowly so she stays between the beams. Once the beams disappear run up to EVE and open fire. There is a chance that she will simply slash you with her nails if you get TOO close, but this is rare. This fight is as easy as it can be. If you really suck and require healing at some point in the battle then just use a 45HP+ vial or your 30HP+ PARASITE ENERGY spell.
After you beat EVE Aya will experience another flashback and when she's comes out of it EVE is gone. There is a hole in the upper left-hand corner of the room, and you must pursue EVE through it by selecting the top choice. You have now reached the sewer (being a cop is such a great job...) just go north and fight any monsters that wish to mess with you. They are basically just mutant mice and mutant frogs...all fairly easy. Once you reach an area with a stairway on the right and left, ignore them and open the chest to the left to receive a new weapon. Equip the gun as it is much better than what you have, and move north until an event happens. After the event there are two well concealed chests in the right and left northern corners. The one on the right contains a gun power-up, the one on the left an 45HP+ vial.
Now pursue the little girl into the next area, but don't pass up the hidden chest just to the left of the door which holds inside it a 6 bullet clip. In the next area proceed left, kill two frogs and click the button to the left of the gate. This button serves two functions...the top choice opens the gate and the other allows you to save your game. Open the gate and enter the next area where you will meet EVE once again. Run up to her and an FMV sequence will follow. Now you will face a new foe.
SEWER BOSS - TAIL 80 HP - HEAD 120 HP - TOTAL 200 HP: This boss is another in a long string of easy battles. It has two portions, a head and a tail. The head has FAR too much defensive power for you to mount a serious attack on it so go for the tail at first. The boss will slash his tail at you and unleash a bunch of green beams with it, but they are simple to dodge by maneuvering between them. Once you dodge just run up to his side or back and fire on his tail.
Continue this pattern until you defeat the tail. Now you can attack the head of the monster. He has a new attack in which he fires 3 flaming lasers on you per turn. The lasers are easy to escape from by just running in the opposite direction. Then just fire on his head and continue the pattern until he dies.
Once you have sent the SEWER BOSS to an early grave you appear outside the opera and get questioned by a reporter. Daniel Bo Dollis, a cop who Aya really looks up to as a father figure, comes along and knocks the shit out of the nosy reporter. Then he gives you a ride to the station.
