Tell a friend
Guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back,
guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back..daa neh na

Yup! This is the second installment of Neighbors From Hell (PC game).
For those of you who have not played the first one (and used my
"Neighbors From Hell 100% Viewer Ratings Walkthrough") I'd REALLY
recommend it (referring to the game, of course ;) ).

Upon completing it, NFH2 is much easier than NFH (please note I used the
abbreviation) and also NFH2 seems less challenging overall, but you do
get to visit several different locations during the Neighbor (or "N" as
I like to call him for short) each having many different items to use to
set up tricks with hilarious effects. As opposed to NFH1 where you are
mostly confined to the various rooms in N's house.

As usual this walkthrough is meant to instruct the reader on how to
achieve the maximum score, which in NFH2 is measured by the number of
"coins" you can score (1 for each trick). No doubt there is a minimum
number of "coins" you need in order to qualify to skip to the next
level, but.....NFH2 is WAY TOO EASY to settle for that!

As I promised in my first NFH walkthrough, I'll make a bigger attempt to
keep this walkthrough as short and yet precise enough to follow without
the reader getting lost....babble....babble....eh where was I?

I know so some paragraphs below were copied from the NFH1 walkthrough,
but several key pointers on how the game is played still applies to
NFH2. Just watch out for the changes.

I wanna say that the time limit feature doesn't make that much of a
difference. It is more likely you'll make a mistake and get clobbered
instead of having the timer run out. And most of the time even if you do
one trick at a time, you'll most likely finish with plenty of time to
spare. You can also easily PAUSE the game (press 'P') have a good look
around as and when you want.

You can turn off the time limit feature from the main menu option. You
can then take your time to slowly observe the neighbor at your leisure.
Either that or you can hide Woody somewhere and use the game as a noisy
screensaver!

To make life easier for you, you'd probably want to turn off the Trick
Camera Option as you don't want to be fighting against the camera
panning away at every trick going off when you are trying frantically to
set all your tricks before getting caught.

PLEASE NOTE a big difference in NFH2 when compared with NFH1:

Following only true in NFH1:
{
1) When Woody (your character) picks up an item that goes into his
inventory, he will usually turn his head to face you, point his
finger in the air (like he's got an idea) and say, "HAH!", then
turns back and picks up that item. This is important to note
because when you hear Woody go "HAH!" means that you can issue
another command like "pick up (another item)" or "use (item) from
the inventory with (such and object) in the room" and Woody will
still pick up that object (the one that he "HAH!" about) and
immediately execute the second command you gave him. This is good
as Woody spends less time idle and makes his actions more
continuous.
}
In NFH2, clicking on another item while trying to pick up something, can
cause Woody to CANCEL his current action and go after that something you
clicked on. NFH1 players may not realize this and fail to set tricks
properly because of this old habit. Instead now, for example, you should
wait until you see that the item is in your inventory or wait for Woody
to finish setting up his trick before moving off. Another example is the
first level where you need to place a bar of soap on a puddle of water,
you need to make sure the soap is placed down on the ground before
moving off. Otherwise, if you click elsewhere too early, you'd be
instructing Woody to abort the current action and to go to somewhere
else.

Following only true in NFH1:
{
2) When Woody is setting a trick, he'll stand in front of the
object (to be set a trick on), face away from you, and wave his
arms around as he works on it. A progress bar** over his head will
indicate his progress. If you click anywhere before the progress
bar is finished (reaches the end) it will cancel the setting of
the trick and you will have to start again if you want to set the
trap. So sometimes you might be rushing to set tricks one after
another that you accidentally click away before Woody is finished
setting it and when you leave the room you suddenly realize you
missed out one trick. So no doubt you need to be quick sometimes
but be careful not to inadvertently cancel a trick in the process.
After every trick you set, Woody will give out a little giggle.
}
**The only difference is the progress bar is now gone! Shucks!

Ok as for the new features in NFH2:

* Whenever you see a "@>" just indicates N should be triggering off the
tricks at the approximate time you are following the walkthrough.
"@" being the closest symbol that *looks* like a "coin".

* All levels described here will grant you all the maximum coins for
that level (which you can count by the number of "@>"s as you
progress) and ALSO the Golden Neighbor Award (which, according to
the tutorial, happens when you complete the level with N's Anger Bar
(along the left side of the screen) at the MAXIMUM! (the whistle
will be blowing at the end of the level)

* N's Mum is now in this game (you may remember her from N's pictures
in his house in NFH1. Well she is now here in the flesh. N and N's
Mum will attack Woody when caught. Olga on the other hand is always
neutral, so no harm entering the same screen as her.

* Also another obvious difference is the progress bar is used to
indicate how long either N or N's Mum is going to be asleep for. ie.
once the bar reaches 100%, they will wake up. When they have just
fallen asleep the progress bar will start counting from 1% onwards.

The newest addition you'll notice is the setting up of certain tricks. I
indicated these with the "DEX:". This special tricks require you to
exercise a bit of mouse cursor control. Generally, each level should
contain only one of these DEX set ups. Needless to say its frustrating
if you can't get the hang of it, but practice, practice, practice (and a
cleaned mouse) would really help. When you click to set up such a trick,
your cursor will change to an icon of the object you are using, also a
circle will appear with an outline of the icon. The main idea is to keep
the icon (on your mouse) over the outline while the game tries to nudge
your mouse cursor in random directions. While you do this the circle
will fill up with green. If you move too far out the outline or the
circle itself, the circle will flash red and the level of green will
drop drastically back down. Just a necessary evil you need to overcome
every level. In some levels you do not have the luxury of time to pull
these tricks off as you might be more at risk of getting caught if you
delay for too long. Finally, if you are having trouble and want to abort
doing the DEX set up, just right click to free back your mouse cursor.

Oh yes NFH1 players would also notice you can't "sneak" by
right-clicking anymore. Well at least you don't HAVE TO sneak past N or
N's Mum when they are sleeping anymore.
