Sanctuary
There really is no set order of operation for
this mission. All you need to know is where the keys and tools are, then you can explore
the town by yourself. If you run into Sanchez before you finish the walkthrough, go down
to the Sanchez paragraph near the bottom. The following is just a walkthrough of where
things are in the town.
When you start, go through the entrance and turn right immediately. Go down the alley
between the saloon to the left and the wall to the right. There are usually 2 or 3 guys
back there. Look for the crowbar on the ground. If it's not there, don't worry. It is
placed randomly in any of 3 locations. You can go up the stairs and into the rooms, but
there are lots of guys waiting for you, as well as lots of ammo boxes. There is a small
room in the saloon with several canteens- come here to replenish your health if you run
low. *TIP* The town wall is short enough for you to superjump over (shift + jump key) in
case you're in a tight spot and need a breather from enemy gunfire. From the saloon, go
next door to the little telegraph office and go around to the back. Crouch at the low
opening in the wall and push spacebar to push the box out of the way. Go in, shoot the guy
inside, and crouch to get the steel key under the table and the rifle scope on the window
desk. Then go into the hotel in the town center. Be careful for the civilians running
around. This is the second place for the crowbar, which would be among the pots in the
kitchen area. See the black stove near the pots? The iron key is up on the ledge of the
wall in the corner behind the stove. Go upstairs if you want to kill people. *TIP*
Dynamite is a very effective way to clear out rooms. Just light a stick, open the door,
chuck the stick in, and run like crazy. You get more dynamite in the later parts of this
walkthrough. Next, go find the church and the stables which are across from each other in
the right-hand wing of the town. Go into the church (Three guys inside) and grab the ammo
among the benches and get the shotgun behind the pulpit. The stables have powerups behind
most of the stall doors. In the stables, open the stall in the far left corner, go up the
stairs, shoot the two guys if you haven't already, and grab the shovel on the floor. If
you're really daring, try to do a running superjump onto the roof with the ammo, elixir,
and sheriff badge on it. If that's too hard, just walk up to the wall next to the roof,
and use the wall as a stepping stool. Next, visit the sheriff's station and get the
pistols, then go to the jail, don't shoot the prisoners! Don't forget about the enemy
inside the jail cell to your left. Get the dynamite and knife on the shelf. Don't release
the prisoners unless you feel compelled to for some strange reason. They only get in your
way. See the well/waterhole ahead? That's a secret area, well worth going into. Just jump
inside and explore, but look out for the tarantulas. You will find in a cave lots of
dynamite, elixir, and a heavy boiler plate which is your Old West- style bulletproof vest.
(Only protects your front for a few shots.) Next, go to the bank and find the dark spot of
dirt on the side of the building. Use the shovel to dig down. You'll find yourself in the
vault. Open the door and shoot the usually two guys running around near the front, then go
to the door (not the front door) to get the two guys inside the teller windows. Decent
amount of ammo in there. Grab the brass key in the front. Now you have the essentials in
this mission.
SANCHEZ
This guy is quite a character. He shoots fast and moves fast, so be careful. He appears
only after you do some certain things in the level. Once again, I recommend that you use a
fully loaded rifle and hold down the fire button. All these bosses need a certain amount
of time to recover after being hit, and the rifle offers a decent firing rate with a good
ammo supply. If you're really good, use your pistol on secondary fire mode- it shouldn't
take more than one magazine to get him, if you're a good shot. Another way you might try
is to back WAY OFF , I mean WAY OFF , and use the rifle scope to pick him off from a
distance where his pistols are too inaccurate to hit you often. This takes more ammo and
patience, but is probably the safest.
Oh yeah, the crowbar can also be found in the area where you have to use it, and is used
to open the stuck door.
There are lots of buildings and areas to explore in this level, I've only touched on the
basics. So explore, have fun with this level, and try different things and different
doors. :-)
