A. Contact Information:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
You may contact me at Xylanic@aol.com, or through AIM by Xylanic or
Zylnor. Please title your mail with the Heading: UNDYING FAQ. I will
give credit to anyone who has items to add or take away from the FAQ.
The newest version of this FAQ is always at Gamefaqs.com, don't ask me
for it. Once again, I'm not perfect. I don't need to hear you bashing
me for bad grammar or one small mistake. Although the majority of
feedback has been great, one individual can ruin a day.

B. Who am I?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

As for Myself, I am a professional writer who writes fantasy and
horror in my spare time. This will be my first FAQ for this type of
game, and the first I have posted to major websites. I decided to write
this mainly because so far, nobody else has taken the initiave to write
anything intriguing or new for this game, and many people are stuck and
looking for answers. So, being the type of guy I am, I decided to help
out. If you would like to have this FAQ on your site, please contact me
for further info. Also, I am not perfect. I know I make mistakes, and I
may have missed things I would appreciate you contacting me to make
this as complete as possible however.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
C. What's in this FAQ?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

This FAQ is designed to get you through the game as completely as
possible, with all secrets, spoilers, items, extra health packs, and
amplifiers. It will not have a complete rundown of the weapons, enemies
or of how to use the weapons, and the key commands, as that is already
written in the manual for your enjoyment. I will note things I find
interesting however throughout the majority of the game. This
walkthrough is written in the NORMAL mode, which is not that different
from the other modes. One day in the future, I may write one for the
Nightmare mode. This Walkthrough is written in sections through each of
the major portions of the game, with Letters marking individual parts
of the main sections for easier reading.

F. Thank Yous
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Thanks to my girlfriend, Robin, for patience while I write this.
Thanks to Mike T for the Keisinger Trick in Onerios part 1.
Thanks to Tran for tricks on using the stone on Tentacles.
More always coming....
Thanks to the Guy who felt he needed to take the time out of his day
to bash the FAQ for having a couple grammar mistakes. That's really
important in my opinion so a big Loser of The Day goes to this fellow,
who out of respect I will not name.

G. Most Frequently Asked Questions
-===-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

This section will be devoted to the questions flooding my email
currently. As the walkthrough is not yet completed, this is primarily
full of stuff that is not yet in the actual walkthrough. Read at your
own risk. Most of this will be covered later in the full walkthrough
section. Also, much more detailed boss walkthroughs will be in the main
portion.

Q.How do I beat Lizzbeth?
A. Either take care of the skeletons yourself with Invoke, or let her
take care of them as she tends to do. Avoid her stones for a while,
firing at her with ectoplasm or your war cannon. When she stops for a
moment and glows, and her head turns around, use your scythe on her
head to behead her. She is not difficult if you keep your distance and
wait.


Q.How do I beat Ambrose?
A.Avoid his attacks by strafing for about a minute. Wait until a
Hound, or werewolf, whatever you wish to call it, appears and distracts
him for a few moments. While he is distracted, use your pistol, move in
close to him, and aim at the jewel on his axe, popping it out. When
the jewel has popped out, he will shrink to a normal size. Scythe him,
like his sister, and you have won.

Q.How do I return to the present in the Monastery?
A. Once you get the gold key and the lights go out, proceed forward
to the open window where the monk lies dead on the floor. Jump THROUGH
the window, and head to your left and up towards the top of the
building, until you reach a small chimney, and just above you can see
an amplifier. Jump onto the chimney, from there do a careful jump to
the next part of the roof. Climb to the top after getting the amplifier
and leap into the window in the tower to get into the main Monastery.

Q.How do I beat Aaron?
A. First note, The true battle with Aaron is the basement of Bethanys
room. The other times you meet him, he haunts you as a ghost in the
house, merely use an ether trap to get rid of him. Start by giving him
his jaw back when he is hanging there in chains. Then, he will begin
to lash out at you and be a rather pain. First you will chop off his
hand with your scythe. Use various attacks for a few minutes, using
shield to defend yourself. Eventully, you will manage to dispatch his
hand. The easiest way to have this happen? Have him jump at you and
strafe aside, and he will run into a wall and fall down. Use your
Scythe on the hand. At this point, Aaron will back into a far corner
of the room and use his wonderful chains to attack you from a distance.
Stand behind one of the hanging chains in the room and wait for his own
chains to get stuck on them. When he is stuck, move in with the Scythe
and take care of him.

Q.How do I get to the catacombs below the monastery?
A.When you have found the dynamite, proceed to the front of the
monastery, where you entered, not inside which is what confuses most
people. There is a spot here where Patrick says he can see below into
chambers. If you look down over this area, you can see rooms below
stone blocks. This is where you use the dynamite and drop below.

Q.In Onerios, I have just killed the Hound behind the energy barrier,
and I am stuck needing energy key and theres a lever that I cannot pull
all the way. What do I do?
A.Use a Molotov Cocktail, Skull Storm, or Dynamite to light the
cauldron in the room.

Q.How do I beat Keisinger?
A.He is easy. In fact, you can beat him in seconds. Arm yourself
with ectoplasm and Scythe, and as soon as you start, RIGHT after the
loading screen ends, hit him with an ectoplasm which distracts him for
about a second. Rush in and Scythe until he drops into the center hole.
Follow him into the center hole, using your flight to avoid falling to
your death. Merely follow him around the room, strafing and using
Scythe. Should take 2-3 minutes. If you let him go in the start, he is
very difficult, and you will have to hide behind the pillars to take
care of him. He cannot be hurt when his shield is up.

Q.How do I beat Bethany?
A. Very, Very simple. Take care of her witches that surround her in
the start, they take a simple Skull Storm to take care of. Once they
are dispatched, fly to Bethany ASAP and use the Scythe on her head
while she is about to summon more creatures. Can take less then a
minute if you do it this way. She can only be hurt while summoning.

Q.How do I beat the Undying King? (final boss)
A. When the battle starts, run to your left and behind you and pick
up extra dynamite and Phoenix Eggs. Equip your eggs, dynamite, and
Skull storm. Have skull storm amped to max if possible. Begin by
launching multiple dynamite at his mouth that opens and attempts to
suck you in now and then. After a few dynamite blasts, the legs will
go, and the mouth will begin to open to suck you in. Stop being sucked
in with a quick skull storm. Concentrate on the head above, which opens
to a pink brain after the mouth is closed. Use skulls, Phoenix, and
Dynamite together on the brain. Try to keep one skull up at all times
so that you can take care of the mouth any time it opens to attempt to
suck you in. Keep backed up roughly at where you started the round to
avoid tentacles around the island. If you use the Phoenix, Dynamite,
and Skull together, he will take about 7 minutes. Hang in there.

Q.Who is that in the boat in the end cutscene?
A.Keisinger, in his normal form. Can you say Sequel?

Q.Your FAQ is great, you should be a writer!
A. I know.
