1) INTRODUCTION
This is a FAQ/Walkthrough for "The Eternal War", a videogame inspired by (and released at the same time as) the motion
starring Kate Beckinsale as Selene, Scott Speedman as Michael (both of which you get to control in this game) and Bill Nighy as Viktor (whom you don't get to play as, but you do fight him).
This game is a shoot'em-up with slight beat'em-up touches here and there in which you get to play eight levels either as a vampire or a werewolf.
The following is a very brief introduction to how the game works, directed at those who haven't played the game yet but would like to know what kind of experience awaits them. For more thorough information, the rest of the FAQ should have what you need.
Your first step when starting a new game is to choose a race between Vampires or Lycans.
Once you start playing with one side, you will have to keep playing with them till the end unless you create another new game altogether with the other side.
So, if you have the space, you should have one file for Vampires and another for Lycans.
You also have to remember that you can't choose which levels to play, even if you have completed the game: so once you finish a level, you will invariably proceed to the next.
Bearing all that in mind, and having chosen a race, you start playing. Every mission plays the same way:
you are given a list of objectives (objectives which will virtually always start with the word "Kill" or "Protect") and your character is dropped in the middle of a level.
In order to accomplish the mission, you will have to fight hordes of enemies with a wide array of weapons you will find scattered around the level.
Different types of items and special powers unique to each race will help you in battle.
Once you have fulfilled whatever objectives you were given, you will proceed to the "Purchase Upgrade" screen, where you will buy upgrades for your abilities or stats spending the experience points you received in this level.
After buying your upgrades, you proceed to the next level, and you start all over again.

3) VAMPIRES
In Underworld at least, Vampires are all about guns. One of their three powers increases their running and gun-reloading speed.
Because that's the Vampire strategy -running away from Lycans, shooting at them from a safe distance.
They are also significantly faster than Lycans, capable of outrunning them even without using Blinding Speed.
They also jump much higher and farther than Lycans, even wolf-form Lycans.
When leveling up your vampire, it is advisable to focus greatly on Health and Blood Control.
You can try and spend some points in Blinding Speed if you feel you're going to use it often, but I recommend not bothering to upgrade neither Energy nor Bloodfrenzy.
Not worth the trouble. You're going to suck at close quarters combat with or without Bloodfrenzy, and Energy items are normally easy to find.
These are the Vampire Abilities:
3.1 - Control Blood:
By far the most useful of all three Vampire abilities, Control Blood basically heals your character.
The amount of health regained depends on the ability's level; if you put some effort in maxing this ability up, you will be able to regain half your lifebar in just one use.
Another great thing about Control Blood is that, from about level 3 on, it also heals any and all vampires around you (the healing range, once again, depends on the level).
It's useful if you've ran out of reinforcements and your current bodyguards are about to die; but the real use of healing others comes in two player mode.
The situation can -and will- arise when your less experienced friend is about to die, and there are no items around.
In these cases you can radically increase their health simply by using Control Blood while standing close to them. Additionally, it's a cheap way of ensuring your victory in "Protect" missions.
3.2 - Blinding Speed:
As the name implies, using this power allows your vampire to move much quicker, as well as reload your weapons faster.
Running quickly might come in handy once or twice in a game, if you've ran out of ammo and want to dash away from battle to replenish your guns.
The reloading bit, however, isn't all that useful: it's not like the regular reloading is all that slow to begin with. I've never died just because I was attacked while reloading my weapons.
3.3 - Bloodfrenzy:
This increases the physical power of your character, allowing them to deal more hand-to-hand damage.
I don't know why you'd want to fight hand-to-hand as a Vampire, frankly, but if you ever do, make sure to use Bloodfrenzy.
Even with this ability maxed up weapons will always deal more damage, because no matter how strong your hits are it will always be quite difficult to land them on running enemies.
4) LYCANS
The best thing about Lycans is that they can transform into werewolves. As humans they play exactly like Vampires, shooting guns, even if they're slower; but everything changes in their animal form.
They rock at physical combat, and not only because their hits deal more damage than Vampires' -but because, as werewolves, their claw-swipe has a considerably wider range than the human punch, making it far, FAR easier to hit people this way.
It's normal to hit multiple enemies in a single swipe, too.
However, don't think you're going to spend the whole game in werewolf form;
if the enemy's weilding automatic guns like the assault rifle or the submachineguns, you'll receive much more damage than you'll give, simply because you'll be a perfect target while you run towards them.
If he's using grenade or rocket launchers, you might not be able of ever reaching him at all! So, even though mastering Transformation is useful, don't forget Health and/or Purge either. Rage is expendable.
Lycans can use the following abilities:
4.1 - Transformation:
By using this ability your character transforms into a werewolf. It costs a little Energy, but turning back into a human is free.
This is more than an aesthetic transformation, as virtually all your stats improve while being a werewolf.
You move quicker, deal more damage and have a greater resistance (exactly how much depends on the ability's level), ultimately turning your Lycan into a killing machine.
However, Lycans can't use weapons while in werewolf form, so armed enemies will always have an advantage.
Whether or not you want to max this ability depends on how you prefer to play the game: how do you spend most of the level, in human form or in werewolf form?
If you're fond of werewolf ass-kicking, then it's in your best interest to improve your werewolf as much as you can.
4.2 - Rage:
Just like Vampires' Bloodfrenzy, this ability increases hand-to-hand damage. Use it exclusively while in werewolf form for maximum physical damage.
Another nice quality of this power is that, in higher levels, it also inflicts Rage on nearby werewolves.
Bodyguards are never strong enough for this to make a noticeable difference, but in two-player mode this means BOTH you and your friend will have a bigger attack power while only one of you had to spend Energy on it.
4.3 - Purge:
The equivalent of Vampires' Blood Control, this is the healing ability. It works pretty much in the same way, except you can't heal other Lycans no matter how much you level it. A vital ability, and one that you want to master.
5) HINTS & TIPS
5.1 - ife Bars On/Off
Pressing Select toggles the Life Bar Display on and off. You should have it turned on permanently.
Apart from just knowing how close to death your enemies are, you can also use enemy lifebars to measure the strength of a weapon.
The colour will also allow you to distinguish between friend and foe: it's a bit difficult sometimes.
5.2 - Item Collection
If an enemy drops a regular Health or Energy item, you should ALWAYS, no exceptions, run and get it.
That's because these items vanish a few seconds after they're dropped, placing you in a "Now or Never" kind of situation.
However, regular Health and Energy items never disappear. Reinforcements, UV/Silver Nitrate Bullets, weapons and Full Health/Energy will never disappear either, even if dropped by an enemy.
That means you have to decide wisely when to use those items. As a rule, never take Full Health/Energy items unless your appropriate bar is dangerously close to zero.
Leaving items behind will prove useful in boss fights, when you might find yourself low on health.
Just backtrack and you will find your items waiting for you in the exact same place you left them in.
5.3 - Bodyguards
You start every level with two reinforcement units, each one made of two bodyguards. Your bodyguards' overall efficiency depends on the level you're playing: they get stronger and better as you progress through the game.
Bodyguards will follow you everywhere and will engage in battle as soon as they see an enemy.
Even though they are awful in battle and hardly ever kill anything, bodyguards have their uses.
Sometimes bosses attack them instead of you, giving you the chance to attack them freely. You can use them as human shields or as a diversion while you run away.
Bodyguards take damage just like everyone else, though, they don't live forever.
If you're a Vampire with a good Blood Control power, you can heal them.
If they die, you can summon one more unit of two bodyguards pressing L2, as long as you have a Reinforcements coin (you normally start the level with 2 -they're those little red circles under your Energy bar).
5.4 - UV/Silver Nitrate
Special ammunition designed to exploit the weakness of your enemies. Against Lycans you use bullets that introduce silver nitrate into their blood circulation, making them turn gray and eventually explode.
Against Vampires you shoot ultraviolet-powered bullets designed to imitate the Sun's negative effect on Vampires. They, too, end up exploding.
These bullets are insanely powerful and incredibly scarce, so choose wisely when to use them.
Do bear in mind that once you take Bullets, you will be forced to use them: you can't switch between normal and special bullets.
Whether you use them against regular enemies or save them for bosses is your choice entirely, but I encourage you to use them EXCLUSIVELY with the Handguns.
They are so powerful and scarce that you need to use them *very* carefully, so you can't afford spraying them around with the submachineguns. Don't press the trigger unless you know for sure you're going to hit the target.
5.5 - Enemy Powers
You are not the only one with Lycan/Vampire powers, you know. Regular thugs can use Transformation if they're Lycan and Bloodfrenzy if they're Vampire, but you won't see that often.
Enemy bosses and ally commanders, on the other hand, can use all three powers of their race. So be careful in boss fights!
5.6 - Leveling Up
Choose which abilities you want to level up, and do so. There's a level cap of 20 and you'll finish the game before you reach it anyway, so you won't be able to max every single power you have.
5.7 - Co-Op
Underworld has a two-player cooperative mode which makes the game much more entertaining.
The game is played exactly as it is in 1P mode, except there are two characters in the screen now. There is no credits system whatsoever: once a character dies, they're dead for good.
If you don't want to finish the level on your own after your friend foolishly ran into a giant werewolf and was, in short, eaten, all you can do is restart the level.
Apart from the mindless fun of slaying immortals in the company of a friend, do note that you can heal your companion if you're Vampires. If you're Lycans, you can inflict Rage onto your friend to increase their hand-to-hand damage. 6) WALKTHROUGH
6.1 - MISSION 1 : AWAKENING / DARK MEETING
Vampire Objectives:
-> Recover Lycan Weapons Research
-> Kill the Lycan Leaders
-> Eliminate the Berserk Lycan
Lycan Objectives:
-> Escape the Ambush
-> Protect Garth
-> Kill the Vampire Leaders
This is going to be fairly long for a first level, but you should be okay.
I suggest you use this level to get used to the gameplay. Find which weapons you like best, what each power does, etc.
Note that you can destroy all the wooden boxes piled against the walls. Note, too, that cars will explode when shot: that'll come in handy more than once.
Vampire Strategy:
Vampires start at the Southern end of the map. You have to make your way to the other end, so what you have before you is a long but linear path.
You will encounter many ambushes in your way. You should have no problem defeating everyone.
Your first real challenge should come when you reach the C- shaped part of the level, more or less at the middle of the map. Here you will face two Lycan bosses at once.
There goes the learning curve! Try to fight only one at a time, making them chase you back from where you came if you need to.
You can use the trip to retrieve forgotten items or weapons. All in all, you shouldn't have any trouble.
Once both bosses are dead, you'll have completed two of your three objectives:
the Lycan Leaders are dead and one of them dropped a briefcase containing the documents you were sent to steal.
Now you just have to defeat the Berserk Lycan, who is waiting for you at the Northern end of the map. The only remarkable trait of this boss is that he's in wolf form.
When you're fighting transformed werewolves, you must stay as far away from them as possible. They're quite deadly at close range, but they can't use weapons at all.
Use that and your naturally superior speed to your advantage, shooting at the werewolf from afar where he can't touch you.
Lycan Strategy:
You start in the middle of the map, caged. By the time you slay all the Vampires, both doors should be open (two random enemies drop one key each after dying).
Take the chance to transform into a wolf and note the difference between human and wolf gameplay. Decide which one you like best for what kind of situations.
There's one boss at the North and another one at the South end of this map. The order in which you kill them is entirely irrelevant.
Enjoy the freedom of choice, you won't get it often in Underworld! In any case, I suggest you take the North path first.
There are only two ambushes that way, and you're probably not a master Lycan yet (give it time, though).
Once you've killed him, turn around and go South. Check your surroundings to make sure you didn't skip any items or weapons.
There will be four ambushes before you reach the boss, this time, so be ready for a long succession of battles.
If you're low on health, quit fighting for just a second and consider your options: healing with Purge, kiling minor thugs to see if they drop health, or backtracking to see if there are any health items left.
When all the bosses are dead, the level will be over. Congratulations! Now you have to choose which upgrades to buy for your character.
Check the Vampires [XXXXX] or Lycans [XXXXX] section for recommendations on what to upgrade and what to ignore.
6.2 - MISSION 2 : INTO THE DEPTHS / INVADERS
Vampire Objectives:
-> Christov Must Survive
-> Kill the Lycan Leader
Lycan Objectives:
-> Protect Cutter
-> Kill the Vampire Leader
Vampires and Lycans start at the same place this time. What you have before you is a pretty long but completely linear level.
First of all, and even if it sounds selfish, forget about your protege.
He's right in the middle of the level, not particularly close to enemy groups, and won't engage in ANY fight unless you literally push him into one, so the chances of him dying and therefore ruining the mission are negligible.
Also, watch out for fuel cans, they can and will explode on impact.
Use them to your advantage, especially at the beginning of an ambush when all of the bad guys are together on the same side of the arena.
You are going to find five ambushes, one of them in the Underworld trademark square room. Don't let your guard down though, because there's a mini-boss just before you find your protege.
Kill him (the mini-boss), heal if necessary, and proceed with the remaining ambushes.
The actual boss will be waiting for you in another inconspicuous square room. To defeat him, just shoot him with everything you've got.
Killing the boss shouldn't be difficult; the real danger in this fight is staying alive. There are not many health items in this area.
That would normally mean you should run away and check whether you left any in previous areas, but that's not such a good idea in this particular level.
If you run away, your enemies might follow you into your protege's team, possibly leading to a dangerous situation.
To avoid this potential conflict, consider healing with powers or hunting thugs for item drops.
Once the boss is defeated, the level will be over.
6.3 - MISSION 3 : WINDHAM STREET WAR
Vampire Objectives:
-> Defeat Blaze
-> Collect 5 Briefcases
Lycan Objectives:
->Acquire the Briefcases
->Kill the Vampire Leader
This level has HEAPS of ambushes, so be ready for long and tiresome fights. The good news is that this level is entirely linear, so you have absolutely no chance of getting lost.
There are two objectives. One is to defeat the boss; he's the white, shiny X at the very top of the map. Pretty hard to miss, especially because it's not like there's anywhere else to go anyway.
The second is to collect the briefcases random enemies drop after dying.
The five briefcase-dropping enemies are in the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th ambushes, which means there are three 'empty' ambushes where you don't get anything. Shame.
The key to survive this level is to hold your ground or retreat, NEVER keep going forward.
All the ambushes are very close to one another (you may find two in the same street!), so you might drag one group of enemies into another if you're running around without thinking. Believe me, you don't want to do that:
you'll end up badly surrounded by twice as many enemies as you were fighting before.
If in trouble, always run south: the area will be free of enemies and you can use cars that didn't explode in previous fights or items you forgot to or couldn't pick up earlier.
Use the same philosophy for the boss: the farther away, the better.
Lycans can afford to jump into close-quarters combat if, and only if, the boss casts Bloodfrenzy and starts fighting bare-handed. Otherwise, keep running!
6.4 - MISSION 4 : STRONGHOLD / DEEP TROUBLE
Vampire Objectives:
-> Kill the Lycan Leader
Lycan Objectives:
-> Eliminate the leader
Well, aren't these objectives easy to memorize! Anyway. This level has a fairly difficult boss fight, but you'll find it significantly shorter than the previous one. It has less ambushes and it's much smaller.
As you will instantly notice if you check the map, the are two paths you can take as soon as you get out of the first ambush. The East path is closed, so you have to go West.
As soon as you turn around the corner, you'll find yourself in another ambush; one of the enemies will drop a key at some point. There's also a Health Item in the vicinity if you need healing.
Now turn around, because this key is not going to help you in this path. It will open the fence that kept you from taking the East path, so go there; the fence will open automatically.
Here you will face two ambushes, the latter of which will give you a new key. At the (dead) end of this path there are two Health Items, and I suggest you use them if you can.
If you don't need them, note they're there anyway in case you might need to go fetch them in the future.
Once you have the new key, backtrack once again towards the other path.
I know it's tiring, but there will be no more of that for the rest of this level, unless you voluntarily decide to go back and snatch any possible items or weapons you might have left behind.
Anyway, you'll only find one ambush on your way to the end of the level, in a very obvious square room that is screaming "Perfect ambush location!!".
Deal with the enemies and, once all of them are dead, proceed. Don't try to run past them or they'll follow you into the next battle, which is definitely against your interests.
Notice you're in a Subway Station, pretty much like the one in the movie. Once you've opened the fence at the very end of the level, you'll be in a Boss fight.
Vampire Strategy:
The Lycan boss comes with a lot of werewolves, some of which are HUGE.
It's a good idea to focus on the regular enemies before trying to kill the boss, to prevent finding yourself surrounded by angry werewolves.
Believe me when I say you don't want to be in that situation: these giant werewolves can inflict some serious damage with a single claw swipe.
They can toss your Death Dealer around as if she were a rubber ball.
Once the boss is alone, you can play hide and seek with him, up and down ledges or around the train; if you're low on health it'll be a safer method than confronting him directly, especially when he's in wolf form.
The bad part is that, if you keep running around the place while the boss chases you, your bodyguards won't be able to land a single shot on him and you won't be able to use them as diversion/human shield/bait, either.
Lycan Strategy:
Kill all the regular enemies... if you want. Whether the boss is alone or surrounded by enemies, you're going to be dodging a shower of bullets all the same.
Additionally, it might be a good idea to spare a couple of enemies. Have them waltz around the place until you're low on health, at which point you can kill them and see whether they drop items.
The Vampire boss' assault rifle hurts a lot, so it's in your best interest to keep moving and shooting him with all you got.
The above strategy of running around the train won't work very well with Lycans, because the boss will have a gun too.
For Lycans, the best part of the battle comes when the boss foolishly activates his Bloodfrenzy and lunges at you, trying to fight bare-handed.
Even if you haven't invested many points in Rage yet you will undoubtedly be better at close quarters combat than him, so whenever you see his fists glow red it's time to forget the hide-and-seek, transform into a wolf and beat him up.
If he goes back to shooting, turn into a human again and go back to running around the place and using your guns. The farther away from his rifle, the better.
If you absolutely need to replenish your health and you've ran out of Energy, run away and hope your bodyguards will keep the boss busy while you fetch any remaining items. Once he's dead, the level is over.
6.5 - MISSION 5 : OPEN WAR
Vampire Objectives:
-> Kill the Lycan Commander
-> Kill the six Lycan Leaders
-> Protect the Death Dealer Commander
Lycan Objectives:
-> Kill the Vampire Commander
-> Kill the Vampire Leaders
-> Protect the Lycan Commander
This is going to be quite a complex level; you shouldn't have a lot of problems staying alive, but you ARE going to do quite a lot of running.
First of all, look at the map. The green dots are your allies. The seven crosses are the six leaders plus the commander: that is, your targets.
The yellow circles that flash now and then simply indicate that something just happened in the point they sign, usually a side engaging in battle with another.
One interesting note about this level is that the character locations are identical for both Lycans and Vampires.
That means that the Vampire Stephen will be in the bottom right corner of the map, for instance, regardless of whether you are a Vampire or a Lycan.
If you're the former he'll be your ally, if you're the latter he'll be your target; but he'll be in the exact same place. The experience of beating this level will come in handy during your second playthrough!
It is important that you begin running as soon as you start the level, because the different teams I mentioned above will move away from their starting location and start fighting each other as soon as the level begins; therefore, it's better to start fighting while you still know where's everyone.
Do note that Lycans start at the Eastern end of the level, whereas Vampires start at the West.
The best way to beat this level is to follow one of your allies.
You have surely noticed that most of the friendly NPCs usually stay in one place, not really caring whether you're battling it out with hordes of angry, angry enemies mere inches from them. *However*, this isn't true for all the NPCs!
Every time I've played this game, I've found that there's one ally commander that actually DOES actively chase enemies and fight them, rather than stick to their default corner.
If you're a Lycan, this fierce and helpful NPC is the Gate Commander and he starts the level at the middle street.
If you're a Vampire, it's Julian and he starts at the South end of the middle street, where it meets the horizontal street.
Go and find either Julian or the Gate Commander, according to your race. Once you have found them, stick to them at all times.
If everything goes well, when all enemies are dead he should automatically start running towards the next group.
Now you just have to follow him around the level as you kill the bad guys, saving you the trouble of choosing your next target yourself.
In case there's some obscure glitch and Julian/GC don't chase enemies all around the place or you're on your own for whatever reason, you must bear in mind that there are two ambushes in this level.
You're already going to find several compulsory battles to kill all the enemy commanders, so I suggest you run away from these ambushes if you run into them.
Once the six bosses and the commander are dead, and obviously if your own commander survives (which shouldn't be too difficult, given how fond they are of staying out of trouble), the level will be over.
6.6 - MISSION 6 : DEADLY SURPRISE / DESPERATION
Vampire Objectives:
-> Survive for 15 minutes
-> Do not leave the mansion grounds
Lycan Objectives:
-> Survive for 15 minutes
-> Do not leave the plaza
Hello and welcome to one of the only two race-exclusive levels in Underworld! Vampires fight in the courtyard of their mansion, whereas Lycans battle it out in a plaza (or square).
That being said, it's not like there's any difference between both levels. Both are extremely small areas with a few items scattered around.
If you try to leave the courtyard or the plaza to find out what those little paths hide, you'll first get an onscreen warning and then fail the mission. So don't run away!
Overall, the bad thing of this level is that there are many, many enemies: you will be chased and attacked from all angles and directions, every single one of the fifteen minutes this level is going to last.
But huge amount of enemies is also the best part of the level: if you keep killing them, you should always be able to find Health or Energy items and weapons should also be relatively easy to find (pay special attention to enemies armed with Sniper Rifles).
Do note that there are several UV/Silver Nitrate Bullets scattered around the area (I think Lycans have more than Vampires, lucky them, but I could be wrong).
They won't respawn after you've taken them and as you know by now enemies don't drop them, so you should decide carefully when to use them.
I suggest you start using them when you're about five minutes into the battle; that's when the more powerful thugs and even mini-bosses begin coming in.
There's not much point in wasting your precious, precious bullets in weak enemies that can go down just as easily with regular attacks.
So there's very little I can tell you here. Keep running around the area, killing everything you see and, most importantly, collecting everything they drop.
Don't count on your bodyguards, since they'll die easily and can't be replaced manually. Reinforcements will arrive every now and then automatically.
More Underworld Tips:
If there's about one minute left and you're really low on health, you ran out of ammo, or just grew really bored of the level, you can always give up fighting and simply run around in circles, waiting till the timer hits zero and you've won the level.
Otherwise, fight till the last second!! You're going to need all the experience for the remaining levels.
6.7 - MISSION 7 : THE UNDERWORLD
Vampire Objectives: More Underworld Tips:
-> Kill the Lycan Commander
-> Protect the Death Dealer Commander
Lycan Objectives:
-> Kill the Vampire Commander
-> Protect the Leader holding the Plaza More Underworld Tips:
-> Protect the Lycan Commander
Doesn't look very good, huh? Well, the first thing to note is that Lycans start at the Eastern side of the map whereas Vampires start at the Western side.
Other than that, there's no difference between one level and the other. More Underworld Tips:
Lycans seem to have one more objective at the start of the level, "Protect the Leader holding the Plaza", but it doesn't appear in your objectives list.
And since we tend to ignore the "Protect:" objectives because Underworld characters aren't very courageous, so to speak, the aim of this level is once again to kill everyone.
Like Mission 5, this level has two ambushes apart from the compulsory battles. This map is smaller, though, so it's going to be more difficult to avoid them.
More Underworld Tips:
The good news, however, is the presence of UV/Silver Nitrate Bullets hidden in boxes.
I suggest you save them for the bosses, they're not easy and the level isn't exactly crowded with health items.
6.8 - MISSION 8 : FREAK OF NATURE / FATAL BLOW More Underworld Tips:
Vampire Objectives:
-> Destroy the Beast
Lycan Objectives:
-> Defeat the Elder
More Underworld Tips:
Last mission, woohoo! This time the map is not really complex, now is it?
This is the second and last level in Underworld that varies between one race and the other. It's still a small difference and simply a boss fight in essence, but I'll make seperate sections anyway.
Vampire Strategy:
More Underworld Tips:
This level just a long rectangle, divided in rooms by metallic fences. Three ambushes await you in just as many rooms; once you've dealt with the ambush, you'll get a key to proceed to the next section.
The first two contain Silver Nitrate bullets, too -use them well!
The last fight, with "The Beast", is going to be difficult. It's insanely strong. You WILL run out of everything, so expect having to backtrack to get more ammo. Pray that you didn't use it all on your way in. More Underworld Tips:
Also, don't even think of fighting him hand-to-hand; actually, keep him as far as your current gun's range allows.
The fact that The Beast can only fight hand-to-hand is ultimately good for you, because it will be easier to run away from him... and since we've already unlocked all the previous fences, now you can run around the entire level.
Don't get too confident, though! The hits of this beast hurt. A lot.
More Underworld Tips:
Lycan Strategy:
You fight in the Vampire mansion, which you got to visit as a Vampire in Mission 6.
Unlike the Vampires, you only have two ambushes before the boss fight, but in exchange you don't get UV Bullets. Oh well!
You will be fighting an enemy called "Vampire Elder". It's Viktor, a major character in the movie. More Underworld Tips:
It looks nothing like him but since there are only three Elders and one of them is dead (and a woman) and the other is hybernating, it can only be Viktor.
He is the only Vampire that can inflict significant damage bare-handed, so think twice before engaging in hand-to-hand combat with him. Running away in this tiny space isn't a very good idea either, since he can easily outrun you with Blinding Speed.
I'm afraid you're gonna have to run around the fountain and shoot non-stop. I'd rather not Transform unless you really ran out of ammo.
More Underworld Tips:
Once you've killed your boss, the level will be over.
You've now finished the whole game :D Congratulations! You've also unlocked the Hybrid (Michael, in the movie), who is insanely powerful.
He can only fight hand-to-hand (no guns) and has Vampire powers, but you can play both Vampire AND Lycan levels with him. More Underworld Tips:
7) WEAPONS
The weapons below are sorted according to their usefulness, not their power or speed. The top being the most useful and the bottom being the least useful. More Underworld Tips:
As you can see later , the Top 5 weapons all use bullets, and all the weapons which use bullets are at the top.
This is because they ARE the most effective weapons in the game, but also because (with the exception of the Shotgun and the Sniper Rifle) they can be used to shoot Silver Nitrate or UV bullets.
More Underworld Tips:
I'll procceed to describe each weapon individually now.
7.1 - Assault Rifle
This rifle is undoubtedly the best weapon you're going to find in the underworld of Budapest.
It's completely automatic, you don't need to reload it very often, and it does a lot of damage to everything. More Underworld Tips:
Plus it's actually not hard to find, so don't hesitate in using this against everything that moves. You can even afford using it to destroy wooden boxes, since it is possible to shoot just one bullet if you tap the R1 button just once.
7.2 - Sniper Rifle
In case you're wondering, no you can't aim in first person. More Underworld Tips:
But this rifle is insanely powerful just the same. Regular thugs will go down in just one or two shots, while stronger enemies will be pushed back even if they can survive five or six shots.
You also have a pretty good chance of popping the enemy's head off, if you're into those things. Unfortunately, it's very VERY hard to find and never comes with much ammo, so don't shoot with it unless you know for sure you're going to hit the enemy.
But by all means, enjoy it while you can -you don't know when's the next time you might run across one.
More Underworld Tips:
7.3 - Shotgun
The Underworld shotgun is less powerful than that of your typical shooting game, but in exchange it's much, much quicker.
The range doesn't suck as much as you'd initially assume, so it's all around a great weapon to blast your enemies to pieces. More Underworld Tips:
Do watch out for the ammo -it runs out quickly and there's never a whole lot around.
7.4 - Dual Sub-machine guns
These are the weapons you should have permanently equipped, if you have them. They fire bursts of five or six rounds which do decent damage. More Underworld Tips:
It would be wise to use these against regular enemies as long as you can, reserving stronger weapons for bosses or particularly tough enemies.
They're especially useful on the first levels, before the really tough enemies begin stalking you everywhere.
7.5 - Dual Handguns More Underworld Tips:
You start every level with these weapons. The fact that they're not automatic doesn't mean they're slow, as you can shoot pretty quickly if your have agile fingers.
The damage the handguns deal isn't spectacular, especially in advanced levels, but they're not at all the weakest weapons of the game either.
7.6 - Laser
More Underworld Tips:
Quite a scarce weapon, this one. It seems to shoot a white energy beam which I arbitrarily decided to call "Laser".
It's not very powerful, but it doesn't run out of ammo very quickly and, best of all, it inflicts continuous damage.
Another advantage is that you can always tell where you're shooting, since the huge energy beam is quite hard to miss.
Overall it's the best weapon you can get when you've ran out of bullet-using weapons.
More Underworld Tips:
7.7 - Electric Gun
This weapon shoots pure electricity, which will instantly paralyze the target as long as they're receiving said electricity. More Underworld Tips:
The good thing about this is that the electric rays can jump from one enemy to another if they're close enough, so you can end up electrocuting up to about five enemies at the same time.
It takes AGES to kill even the weakest enemies only with this weapon but none of the enemies will move a muscle meanwhile, so A) your bodyguards will be happy to shoot at them unhindered, and B) the enemies won't be attacking you either. More Underworld Tips:
Be aware, though, that you need to reload from time to time. When this happens, the rays will stop and all enemies will be free again...
7.8 - Flamethrower
Oddly enough, there seem to be plenty of flamethrowers scattered all around Budapest. There's one in every level and you really have to be desperate to run out of ammo with this one. More Underworld Tips:
In most games the flamethrowers are the ultimate ass kicking, mass murdering weapons, but not in Underworld. It's one of the "Desperation Weapons" which you shouldn't use unless you really have nothing else to shoot or throw at the enemy.
The flamethrower's range is awfully short and the damage is pretty much non-existant: in order to hurt anyone with it, you need to place your target in the WIDE part of the flames for a few seconds.
If you are too close to your enemy they won't be hurt, a problem common for most weapons. More Underworld Tips:
You are going to use this weapon often after running out of bullets, so learn how to use it well: don't wave it around aimlessly, instead focus on constantly burning one enemy at a time.
It's really the only way to use this weapon. It works better against Lycans than against Vampires, by the way; maybe because fur burns more quickly.
Also note that you can't break boxes with this weapon: they catch fire, but don't break.
7.9 - Multi-grenade Launcher
More Underworld Tips:
Okay, so I don't know how to call this thing. It looks like a bazooka that shoots six little bombs in a wide angle.
The grenades don't hurt much at all unless all of them hit the enemy (which you're not likely to see), but there's a good part -the little explosions of these bombs don't hurt you no matter how close you're standing, getting this weapon right above the rocket and grenade launchers in terms of usefulness.
But due to the low damage anyway, use it as a last resort and only until you find a better weapon.
More Underworld Tips:
7.10 & 7.11 - Grenade & Rocket Launchers
Never EVER use these weapons. EVER. They're both fairly common when compared to the Laser or the Sniper Rifle, but they're awful.
The damage is great and the explosion does a good job at tossing the enemies in random directions, but the explosion will hurt YOU as well 9 out of every 10 times.
Especially with grenades, which have a funny tendency to bounce off walls and leap straight at you. More Underworld Tips:
Just have a look at the CPU enemies -even *they* get hurt when they're using a launcher. So, unless you have literally no other weapons, don't even consider using this or your bodyguards and you will end up being immortal barbeque.
7.12 - Fists
The game lists them as a weapon, so I will too. You can perform a four-hit combo which is weak and has a ridiculously short range but, obviously, it needs no ammo of any kind. More Underworld Tips:
The Hybrid and Werewolves are forced to use only their fists and they work well with them, but Vampires and Werewolves-while-in-human- form are hopeless at hand-to-hand combat.
Not only it's slow and inoffensive, but it's also quite hard to actually hit the enemy.
By the time you walk up to them and start your combo your target will probably be at the other side of the screen already. And no, bloodfrenzy doesn't help much, in the case of Vampires.
7.13 - Silver Stars
They're those shiny stars Selene throws against a Lycan at the very beginning of the movie. More Underworld Tips:
In that scene four stars are enough to stop a Lycan right in its tracks, but that's far from the truth in this game. They're slow, they're virtually harmless and, as if that wasn't enough, have a laughably low chance of hitting ANYTHING, even though they bounce off nearby walls.
It's better to use Bloodfrenzy/Rage and fight with your own fists rather than wasting your time with these.
Oh and, this has nothing to do with the actual gameplay, but the animation of your Death Dealers throwing stars makes them look like 5-year- old girls cheerfully throwing little flowers around.
8) ITEMS
More Underworld Tips:
There are several items you will find in the streets of Budapest. You can find them just lying around on the ground or hidden inside wooden boxes of different shapes and sizes. You can also get them from fallen enemies.
8.1 - Health
It looks like a Red Cross, except it's light blue. It restores a bit of your health, as you probably deduced.
This item is permanent if found inside a box, temporary if an enemy dropped it (i.e., it will vanish shortly if you don't pick it up).
More Underworld Tips:
8.2 - Energy
This items restores your Energy bar. If you're anything like me, at first you'll have trouble distinguishing Energy items from Health items, especially from afar.
The most noticeable difference between them is ultimately the colour -energy bars are deep blue instead of light blue and shiny. This item is permanent if found inside a box, temporary if an enemy dropped it.
8.3 - Full Health, Full Energy
More Underworld Tips:
These items, which replenish the entirety of your Life or Energy bar, are very easy to spot -they're the regular Health or Energy items surrounded by a golden ring, making them hard to miss even in the most crowded fights.
Sometimes really tough enemies in certain levels will drop one of these presents. They never ever disappear (even the ones dropped by enemies will stay there forever).
8.4 - Reinforcements
More Underworld Tips:
You won't be seeing this very often: it looks like a big, shiny red coin, really hard to miss. A handful of enemies drop them in one or two levels.
This will give you more reinforcement units, so you can ask for more help if your bodyguards die.
8.5 - Silver Nitrate / UV Bullets
More Underworld Tips:
These are almost as scarce as Reinforcements but much, MUCH more useful. They're special bullets that vastly increase the damage made by guns, and look like a white or blue bullet magazine.
Logically, these bullets can only be used with guns that use bullets, that is: Handguns, Submachineguns and the Assault Rifle.
8.6 - Weapons More Underworld Tips:
Like Health and Energy items, weapons can be obtained BOTH from crates and from enemies, with the additional advantage of being permanent: even the weapons dropped by enemies stay there forever.
If you have max ammo for a certain weapon, you obviously won't be able to pick up more.
9) CHARACTERS
More Underworld Tips:
Whether you play as a Vampire or a Lycan, you have four characters to choose from. From that total of eight different characters, three (Selene, Erika and Raze) appear in the movie.
Other than that, there is little to no difference between characters: you may go as far as calling them "skins". More Underworld Tips:
Each character starts with three skill points, but each one set them differently.
The following is a list of the available characters and in which skills they have points by default.
It is worth noting that Selene and Raze are the most balanced characters, and that the Lycans Bruce and Zak are, for some obscure reason, clones of each other.
