--------- is highly preliminary (note version number). All is
disclaimed. I still have to go through the game again on difficulty
setting 3 (and check out the Clue Book when it arrives).
FAQ's: (designed not to give away too much)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Always destroy all Cameras and Computer Nodes that you find. This
will lower level security. Doors/switches etc. that say "blocked
by level security" will all work when level security = 0% (and some
will open when security drops to around 10%).
* On each level is a Cyborg Conversion chamber. A switch nearby will
reconfigure it to heal you when you are killed, instead of turning
you into a Cyborg.
* Some lit panels flat on the floor are elevators. Step on it to activate.
* Each Cyberspace Terminal leads to a different enclosed area. You will
have to complete the area for each different Cyberspace Terminal that
you find.
* If a door is "broken beyond repair", you cannot ever get through.
* Some elevators will not operate ("power diverted to ...") until
certain tasks are complete. If you are stuck, it is because you
have failed to:
A) Explore all accessible areas of all levels that you can get to
B) Read all of your E-mail and Logs for clues. The other folks
on the station had several plans that they were trying to
accomplish to defeat Shodan, maybe you could complete some of
their missions for them.
C) Conquer all accessible areas of Cyberspace for codes and
computer-locked door switches.
* Many levels cannot be completed on your first pass. You will have
to continue up to other levels and come back later.
* No level is ever completely "clear" of enemies. They continue to
reappear. Always be on your guard.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
MORE FAQ's (be warned that these give away some details):
-------------------------------------------------------------------
* You can't get to level 6 until the Laser has been destroyed.
* You can't finish level 3 until after all 3 grove "Jettison Enable"
switches inside the groves have been flipped and the "Jettison Enable
Master Control" switch (all on level 6) has been tried.
* You can't get to level 7 until Beta Grove is jettisoned.
* You can't destroy the Reactor until you have destroyed the Antennae,
and you have received authorization from Earth to scuttle the station.
* You can't get to level 8 until Reactor has been set to destruct.

STANDARD DESCRIPTION FORMAT: (to describe puzzles and levels)
-------------------------------------------------------------
WIRE ACCESS PANELS:
------------------
Contacts are numbered from top to bottom
Example:
1 X----X 1 This would be:
2 X-\ X 2
3 X \-X 3 1-1, 2-3, 5-5
4 X X 4
5 X----X 5
GRID ACCESS PANELS:
Example:
--More--(11%) [3998/35337]
Thread 31 of 47 (page 6): System Shock walkthrough here
1 2 3 4 5 6
-------------
A | + + X + + + | Flip the following co-ordinates:
B | X + X X X X |
C | + + | B1, D1, A3, E3, B6, D6
D | X + X X X X |
E | + + X + + + |
-------------
All GRID ACCESS PANELS and WIRE ACCESS PANELS will have different
solutions depending on the difficulty level that you have chosen for
these puzzles (0 - 3). Remember which difficulty level that you
selected so that you can choose the correct solution listed below.
Also note that each puzzle may have many possible solutions. The ones
listed here will work, but you may find others that work also.
LEVELS: (The following codes will be used throughout to designate levels)
LR - Reactor level
L1 - Hospital level (you start here)
L2 - Research level
L3 - Maintenance level
L4 - Storage level
L5 - Flight deck
L6 - Crew Facilities / Executive level
G1 - Alpha Grove
G2 - Beta Grove
G4 - Delta Grove
L7 - Engineering level
L8 - Security level
L9 - Bridge
Be warned that puzzles and other things are very different depending on
which difficulty settings that you choose at the beginning of the game.
Also note that there is a lot of variability in the items that you find
when searching dead foes. If you save your game and then fight a battle,
if you reload the saved game and re-fight the battle, you will find
different items on the enemies.
NOTE: This walkthru assumes that you have selected the default settings
for Mission, Puzzles, Combat, Cyber all at 2.
NOTE: If you have selected puzzle difficulty 1:
* Keyboard access panels are almost all open (except Escape Pods)
* You do not need any Access Cards
* You don't ever have to finish level 3 (no Relay to repair)
NOTE: If you selected difficulty 3:
* You have 7 hours to beat the game (good f***ing luck).

HINT: The Laser Rapier found on this level is the most effective
weapon on those irritating Invisible Mutants. The Lantern v1
found on this level will help you to see them.

Notes: Relay Analyzer (north central) is used to locate the faulty
relay. As you explore, you will find some relay panels. Remeber
the number and then go back and punch it in to the Relay Analyzer
to determine if it needs repair, and to find out what to do if
it does.
Note: To get past the Retina Scanner you just need to find a severed
head on this level that is still in good shape. Pick them up
and put them in your inventory to examine them.
Note: The locked maintenance doors on this level ("No maintenance
required") will not open until you are almost done with level 6.
LEVEL 4 (Storage level):
------------------------
2 Energy Charge Stations
2 Hidden Doors
Codes:
Southeast 838
Grid Access Panels: 1 2 3
------------- ------------- -------------
B1,B2,B6,E4,C7 B1,B2,B6,E4,C7 B1,B2,B6,E4,C7

Jump Boots v1 (southwest)
Flechette (southwest)
Riot gun (central) (worthless)
Cyborg conversion (southeast)
Plastique (northwest, through force bridges area)
Computer nodes (east - through iris door)
Hint: In the large storage room with suspended walkways, there is a
button hidden under a crate that will enable force bridges. You
will still have to do some fancy jumping here.
Hint: In the storage room with the locked force door and repulsors
there are two switches high up on the wall that need to be
flipped. Flip the first switch to enable the repulsor in the
other corner. From the second repulsor, you can jump to the
next corner (booster skates help). The repulsor pads on the
wall with the force door are only operational near the ceiling
(as indicated by the symbols on the walls). Jump Boots are very
handy here, but not necessary.
LEVEL 5: (Flight Deck)

Flight Deck door A5, C5 A5, C5 A5, C5
Force bridge puzzle in Flight Bay 4:
Hit the buttons from left to right: ON ON OFF ON ON OFF
There is no way to get all of the bridge segments on, you will still
have to jump at least one gap.
Hint: In Flight Bay 4, there is an opening up on the wall that you will
have to use your Jump Boots to get to. I found it easier to get
there by climbing across from the raised ledge nearby than from
trying to climb straight up from the floor of the flight bay.
Stuff:
Shield v2 (west - through crawlway and past repulsor lifts)
Blaster (west - through crawlway and past repulsor lifts)
Jump Boots v1 (across force bridge in flight bay 4)
Lantern v2 (across force bridge in flight bay 4)

1 Cyberspace terminal
Codes:
Executive Maintenance crawlway - 711
Cyberspace: Decoy (ICE)
Recall
Turbo Navigation Booster software (ICE)
Games v2 (ICE)
Storage closet lock (by elevator to L7)
Beta Grove elevator
NOTE: All of the important stuff is in the southwest. Head southeast
to get there.
NOTE: The switch to disable the force field in the ceiling of the entry
area (protecting that last Camera) is at the southeast edge by a
screen (which shows the force field).
NOTE: To jettison Beta Grove: First, visit all three groves and flip the
"Jettison Enable" switch in each (in Beta Grove, keep to the right
to get there quickest). Then try the "Jettison Enable Master
Control" in the southwest. You should be informed that a relay has
burnt out somewhere. Go back to level 3 and fix. Then try the
Master control again (it should work). Now go back to the lobby
of Beta grove and flip the "Beta Jettison" switch. If a whole
bunch of nasties are waiting for you when you try this, you are
on the right track.
Stuff:
Biological Systems Monitor v2 (south edge by Computer Nodes)
MM-76 Accelerator Rail Gun (west)
Infrared Night Sight v1 (Delta grove lobby)

TASKS:
---------------------------------------------------------------
1) Disable Laser
* Get X-22 Isotope from L2 (southwest). There is a button on the wall
next to it to lower the force field.
* 'Use' Isotope on panel at Shield Generator on Level R (southwest)
* Enter Laser Override Code (199) on Level R (west)
* Fire Laser on level 2 (central area)
- this action will enable the elevators to level 6
2) Jettison Beta Grove on level 6
* Activate "Jettison Enable" buttons in each of the three remaining
groves (G1, G2 , G4). In Beta Grove (G2) keep to the right.
* Flip "Jettison Enable Master Control" in extreme southwest.
* Return to level 3 and finish (maintenance doors will now open).
Find Relay 428 and repair with an Interface Demodulator.
* Flip "Jettison Enable Master Control" switch on level 6 again.
* Push "Beta Jettison" button in lobby of Beta Grove.
3) Destroy antennae
* "Use" Plastique (4 units) that you found on level 4 on the antenna
panels. Make sure that you are far away when they go off. One of
antenna traps you with a force door, and you die (so make sure
that the Cyborg Conversion chamber for this level has been found
and fixed before you try this). There are ways to survive this if
you are clever.
4) Destroy the reactor (and entire station)
* Reactor codes from computer core screens on each level. Enter these
numbers in order from L1 to L6 (two sets of three numbers each) in
the reactor core (you will not be able to get here until you get
authorization from Earth to scuttle the station later in the game).
* Zip up to level 5 and hop into an escape pod (code 001). Be warned
that there will be nasties all along the way to stop you.
5) Destroy Shodan
* Find Isolinear Chipset and "use" it on the panel to gain access
to the central area.
* Battle Shodan in Cyberspace. If the battle ends and you just get
a still shot of Shodan's face - you lost (try again). Shodan is a
large gray cone-shaped thing an an area of Cyberspace on level 9.
This area is off to the side of the main current flow, so if you
just let the current carry you, you won't find it. Explore.
Start blasting away as soon as you find him. He will immediately
make it just about impossible for you to control your movement, and
at the same time start obscuring your vision pixel by pixel. If you
don't nail him by the time the screen is completely filled in, you
lose. I found that the only solution is to just continually fire
my Pulser as fast as I could (whether or not I had him lined up
in my sights at the time).
NOTES:
* Retina Scan - on level 3 there is a door that requires a retina scan.
Find a human head with both eyes intact (by putting them in
your inventory and examining them. Abe Ghiran's is in pretty
good shape (found in west area).
* Virus Mutants on level 2. These mutants are behind a force field, and
will be released automatically when you reach the correct point
in the game. Nothing you can do until then. (Trigger is jettison
of Beta Grove on L6).
* Elevators don't work - you will get a message that elevator power is
being diverted somewhere. After completeing the appropriate
task (usually resulting in the destruction of the 'somewhere'
that the power was diverted to) will enable the elevator.
* Dermal patches have side effects - example: using a Sight patch will
work for a while, but afterwards your sight will be poorer than
originally, and application of further Sight patches will not work.
Use a 'Detox' patch to remove side effects from other patches.
* Broken doors - some doors are 'broken beyond repair'. There is nothing
that you can do.
* Maintenance doors on Level 3 - are locked and give you the message that
'no maintenance required'. They will open after you have first
attempted to flip the 'Jettison Enable Master Control' on level
6 (after flipping the 'Jettison Enable' switches in each of the
3 groves on level 6.
* Reactor destruct code is different for each game that you play.
* Each Cyberspace terminal leads to a seperate area. Practice
each area until you can do it in one run. In some heavily
defended areas, you may wish to simply race through to get
the goodies rather than attempt to destroy all of the enemies
(I.E. get all of the stuff before they finally get you).
You have only a fixed amount of time in Cyberspace. Each time that
you enter, your total remaining is decreased (which is why you
should Save before entering, and practice each run until you can
complete it in only one pass).
* Edward Diego (the Cyborg version) will teleport away when you have
injured him sufficiently during your first two encounters. The third
time is a charm.
* Play all of those cool Games you picked up in Cyberspace !!
* You only need to use 1 Interface Demodulator and 4 chunks of Plastique
to complete the game.

CHEATS:
------
* Use 'Alt-H' to turn on the on-line help. This will automatically
point out hidden doors for you, as well as some other things that
you may have overlooked.
* Free energy: Turn on your shield and lantern. Now click to activate
your Turbo Motion Booster System ("Booster") and click it off. You
should get a message indicating a very low, or zero, energy drain.
If you get a low reading (not zero), click Booster on and off one
more time. You should now have full shield and lantern with no
energy drain at all. NOTE: energy weapons, enviro-suit, and jump
boots will still drain your power when you use them.
* More free energy and health: Always carry a battery (regular or
I-CAD) and a First Aid Kit. Throw the battery on the ground in front
of you and move close (so that it appears to be fairly large). Then
"use" the First Aid Kit on the battery. Or (conversely) throw the
First Aid Kit on the ground and "use" the battery on it. It works !
You now only need 1 battery, and 1 First Aid Kit! Make sure that
you have turned off the Multi-Function Display to get a clear shot
at the target that you have placed on the floor, and that you have
adjusted your position and viewing angle to maximize the apparent
size of your target.
* Free Light - Hit 'Escape' key and select options menu. Adjust the
'Gamma Correction' to get all the brightness that you need.
* Access panels: All you need is 1 (one) Logic Probe. Go up to the
panel and Save your game. Now use Logic Probe to solve the puzzle.
Write down the solution. Restore game and you know the solution.
All you ever need to carry around is just the one Logic Probe.
* Note to myself: check out rumor that if you collect one beverage
container from each level and then type in "SALT THE FRIES"
when on level 9,.. something interesting happens.
* Antenna trap on level 7 - The southern antenna has a force door which
closes behind you, trapping you in the explosion. There is an Access
Panel behind the door which is exposed when the door closes. The
problem is that you do not have the time to solve it. There are
several ways around this:
A) Switch the Cyborg Conversion chamber to ressurect you. After
you are killed in the exposion, you are brought back to life.
* Not the most elegant solution.
B) Crawl back behind the antenna pedastel (to the side opposite
the Plastique) and crouch down. You should take minimal damage.
* Not the most realistic scenario.
C) Use a Logic Probe on the panel (be quick !)
D) Use a Reflex Patch to speed things up (be quick !)
E) Use a combination of C) and D).
* The face on all of the screens is that of the infamous Edward Diego
urging all personnel to join him.
* "Robot Production Cancelled" switch on level 2 - this switch disables
the further generation of Hoppers on this level.
BUGS:
----
* Sound cards: Edit the 'CYB.CFG'. The most common problem is an
incorrect sound card base address. The file expects the address to be
entered in decimal (not hex). Thus address 220H is really 544.
* "Could not load palette" - this error message indicates that you do
not have enough buffers and/or files available to be opened at one
time in your 'autoexec.bat' file. Change to 'Buffers = 30' and
'Files = 40'.
* "Don't salt the fries" - see above about Files/Buffers. This message
also could mean that there is a problem with your Sound card or your
Video card (among other things). Check the CYB.CFG file to be sure
that it has the proper defaults for your system.
* If using SMARTDRV, use the "C" option to disable the write-back
cache (may prevent frequent lock-ups).
* You may recieve an E-mail from Parovski after she is already dead.
* "Military Level Cyberspace Lock" doors on level 8 will never open.
This is a known bug, and will be fixed in the CD-ROM release.
* Cannot put any more messages on map ('Cannot place message'). I found
that if I delete a previous message, and then get out of map mode,..
sometimes it's fixed when I try to place more messages,.. sometimes not!
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS:
--------------------
* What does the Grid Access Panel in the Library on L2 do ??
* What does the Grid Access Panel in north of LR (by grating) do ?
* Is there any sure-fire way to eliminate the 'Cannot place message'
error you sometimes get when trying to place messages on the map?

Yes, I speak for Tektronix. Buy our products or we'll kill you!
The only opinions expressed here are those which my wife permits me to have.
Guns don't kill people,.. it's those damn criminals! Ban baseball bats now!
