Hints for Saints of Virtue

HINTS For Level 1:
"Amphitheater of Apathy"

The following hints are in the approximate order of the level. The big -- "give-away" -- hints must be read backwards (ie. So LOOK HERE = EREH KOOL).

Caves of Loneliness

How do I get through the really dark area?

You can shoot and see ahead of you. Also, you can use the map to get a bearing, but you may not be able to see walls using the map(TAB key) because they are hidden.

I am stuck in the Lonely Plain, how do I get out?

There is a way out, you just have to find it. A clue is when you find the power-ups. They literally point the way.

What can I do at the pendulum/tick-tock thing?

The pendulum has no purpose other than as a reminder of the lonely things of life.

Pits of Despair

How do I get across a pit?

You can jump across certain pits. For some pits, you just must be near an edge and jump (with the Home key...hit F1 for a list of all keys). For others, you must run and jump. You can do this by running and then hitting the jump key at the right time. This can take some practice to get right, but once you get it, this will be a valuable skill for the rest of the game.

What do I do in the pit room where it says, "Don't jump"?

You need to jump here. The key is where -- look down and around when you are on top of those rocks. You should see a clue.

Where is the scroll for the scroll door?

You need to have gotten through the Mall and opened the lower mall shop door.

Mall of Distractions

Where is a door I can open?

There are three doors you can open -- two on the upper level and one on the lower level. Two of these doors are locked and you have to find a key. Look for the doors as you go about the mall. On the top level, one door can be found in a shop in the middle, and on the bottom level, it is in the farthest hall.

How can I get the power-ups located on the upper platforms?

You can get up there. You just need to find a way to jump up there. If you get up on a bench and run along the top edge, you should be able to run and jump up on a platform. This is not easy, so try it a few times.

Where is the key to the upper level door in the mall?

This key can be found in the Pits of Despair. Search the farthest caves to find it.

Where is the key to the lower level door in the mall?

This key can be found in the mall. Search the upper level. (Big Hint: LLAM EHT FO RENROC TSAEHTRON EHT NI SI TI).

Where is the scroll for the scroll door?

You cannot open the scroll door until you get to the last region of this level called the Media Maze. (Big Hint: EZAM AIDEM CISUM EHT NI LLORCS EHT DNIF)

Gallery of Nothingness

How can I get through the laser bars?

You must first have explored the mall and Caves of Loneliness. Then you will find an object that will help you. Hint: It is NOT a rock. (Big Hint: POHS LLAM LEVEL REPPU EHT OTNI TEG TSUM UOY)

Where is the scroll for this scroll door?

You can find the scroll in the Caves of Loneliness. (Big Hint: SEVAC KRAD FO TSEKRAD EHT NI KOOL)

What can I do here?

You can find several secret areas -- one that can be especially valuable. Plus, you can just enjoy the art :).

Media Maze

Where are the numbers for the tv codes?

One of these is found on the ceiling. (Big Hint: NWOD SGNAH MLIF EHT EREHW EVOBA KOOL) Another is found behind something that moves back and forth. (Big Hint: THGIR DNA TFEL EVOM "SRATS" EERHT EHT EREHW DNIHEB KOOL). Both are in the video media maze area (as opposed to the music media maze).

How can I get through the locked door in the music media maze?

You need to find the key. It is found elsewhere in the music media maze.

Where is the scroll for the media maze?

This scroll is found in the Pits of Despair. (Big Hint: PU-REWOP EHT RAEN SI TOPS TCAXE. NGIS EHT HTIW TIP EHT RAEN FFO PMUJ)

Overall

How can I defeat the Worldliness enemy -- it is so quick?

The Worldliness enemy can indeed be quick and hard to hit, but here are a few tips:
1) Worldliness is harder to hit in open spaces, so draw it or fight with it in narrower halls and corridors.
2) When Worldliness comes at you or goes away from you, that is when it is most vulnerable.

How can I get through the scroll doors?

You must find the right scroll for each scroll door. Some scrolls are more hidden than others. The ones that are hidden have clues given above so that you can find the scroll more easily.

Where are the secret areas?

The first level has several secret areas. Here are some clues:
   - one is in the Loneliness maze
   - two are in the Gallery...behind a picture and in a statue
   - one is in the Media maze...go INTO the movie.

Can I find a new weapon or a power-up for my current weapon?

You can find a valuable power-up for your sword in a secret area in the Gallery of Nothingness. Look in a lower area room near a smooth statue (Big Hint: TFEL TXEN EKAT NEHT, TIXE TFEL EKAT NEHT .DAEHA THGIARTS DNA NOITCESRETNI YAW-RUOF TSAP OG, YRELLAG FO GNINNIGEB TA ,MOOR ELOHW EHT SLLIF EUTATS HTOOMS SIHT).
