                             The Quest
                            `---------.

On  a gentle spring evening, without warning or apparent source, chaos
descends  upon  the  once thriving world of Arkose.  A coastal town is
silently  crushed,  leaving  piles of dust where people once stood.  A
pestilence  infects  the  land.   It  cares not whom it reduces into a
blubbering,  raving  lunatic.   The  infected  spend  their final days
trying  to escape from the clutches of their own shadows.  There is no
apparent cure.

The once prominent Gadgeteer race seems to disappear.  Hysteria reigns
supreme.   Doors  are  shut tight and towns turn hostile to strangers.
Barriers of all kinds, some quite lethal, spring up as towns fight off
deranged strangers and the growing horde of bizarre creatures that are
some how connected with the disease.  It's as if some immense, demonic
nightclub  just  shut  its  doors  at  2  AM,  spewing its inebriated,
bloodthirsty, vicious patrons out into the world all at once.

A small band of orphans stumbles along seeking help and answers.  They
are assisted by numerous characters and confront hordes of vicious and
conniving  adversaries.   They wander and explore sweeping landscapes,
ranging   from   fantastic  flying  cities  to  haunted  villages  and
mysterious  ruins.   They  must  solve  challenging  puzzles, complete
difficult  mini-quests and meet a slew of quirky beings as they try to
solve the mystery of Shadow Madness.

                       Naming Your Characters
                      `----------------------.

As  each of the heroes is introduced to the story, you may create your
own  name.   The directional buttons scroll through the menu.  Use the
Action button to make a selection.


`- Page -. 18

                           Shops and Inns
                          `--------------.

Shops
-----
Shops  are  an  essential part of your adventure.  Know where they are
located  and  pay  close attention to prices.  The careful shopper can
make gold pieces go the distance!

There  are three kinds of shops in the game; Weapons, Armor , and Item
shops.  Be sure to look at each shop's entire inventory.  Some of them
offer rare goods and services you can't get anywhere else.
For  example.  Some weapon and armor shops are owned by master smiths.
These  skilled  artisans  are  capable of placing enchantments on your
weapons  and armor.  Enchantments can make the difference between life
and death in battles!

Inns
----
Inns  are  another "must-see" place.  Staying the night at an Inn will
restore  your  heroes  to full health and mystic power.  Additionally,
you can save your game while at an Inn.  This is a good idea, since it
places  you  right  next to a place of healing when you begin the game
again.   You can also switch parties at some Inns.  When you'd like to
check  in  on  the  progress  of another hero group, visit an Inn or a
similar  place of rest.  Walk up to the party switching icon and press
.


`- Page -. 19

                        Items and Equipment
                       `-------------------.

There  are  four  categories  of  items in the game.  Weapons, Armor ,
Relics and Magic Items


Weapons
-------
Weapons come in three varieties:

Mundane  weapons  are your everyday implements of death.  They have no
magic powers.

Enchanted  weapons  are  formerly  mundane  weapons  blessed  with the
ability to inflict certain kinds of magical damage.  Take your mundane
weapons  to master smiths to have enchantments placed upon them.  Keep
in  mind,  you  can  only  have one enchantment on a weapon at a time.
Remember, only Stinger and Harv can use enchanted weapons.

Artifacts  are  rare,  one-of-a-kind  weapons embedded with powers and
spells.


`- Page -. 20

Armor
-----
Armor  comes  in  Mundane,  Enchanted and Artifact varieties.  You can
find  helmets, gauntlets, and body armor in the game.  Unless you like
pain, invest in all three.

Mundane armor is standard issue, protective gear.

Enchanted armor has special wards that protect the wearer from certain
kinds  of  magical  damage.   As with weapons, master smiths can place
enchantments on mundane armor.  You can only have one enchantment on a
piece  of  armor  at a time.  Just like weapons, any character who can
use a particular armor can use it in its enchanted state.

Artifact armor has magic wards of a defensive nature.


`- Page -. 21

Relics
------
Relics  are  mystical  objects  that, when worn or carried, give their
owner  special  powers.   Relics never run out of use; once you have a
relic,  it's power is yours to keep.  Each relic is a signature piece,
no  two  relics  are  the  same.   Be  warned;  some  relic makers are
pranksters.   The benefit their relics provide may turn out to be more
of a curse.

Tip:
Relics are equipped on the Equipment Menu.  Don't try to equip them to
the Use Item menu.  It won't work.  You can only equip two relics at a
time, so choose wisely!


Magic items
-----------
Magic  items  provide  enormous  benefits  to  their  user.  They heal
wounds,  cure  ailments,  practically everything!  Unfortunately, they
have  limited  use.   Once  they're gone, they are GONE.  Find an item
shop to acquire more.  Use them wisely.


`- Page -. 22

                            Battle Mode
                           `-----------.

When  a  battle begins, you're positioned across the battle field from
your  enemies.   This  won't last long!  The enemy creatures will move
toward  you  and  attack if you wait to act.  Using the command menus,
you can quickly execute a strategic attack and eliminate the enemy.

Battle Commands: (Using the shoulder buttons)

Action (L2 button)

Engage
This  command allows you to select an enemy and move toward it If you
are close enough, you will attack when you select Engage.

Evade Enemy
This  command  allows you to move away from the enemy to safe ground.
However,  if you're surrounded on all sides, this command won't help!
Be prepared.  The enemy may chase you!


`- Page -. 23

Flee
Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.  If you need to get
out  of a battle, select the Flee command.  Your heroes will do their
best  to  leave the field of battle.  Warning:  this doesn't work all
the time!

Pass
Out  of weapons or magic?  Not sure what to do?  Want to have another
hero  act  instead?   The pass command allows you to pass play to the
next active hero.

                               Attack
                              `------.
(L1 button)

Guarded Attack.
This attack scores low damage, but makes your hero hard to hit.

Normal Attack
This  attack  does more damage than a guarded attack, but lowers your
level of defense.

Aggressive Attack
This  attack  scores  the  most damage, but makes your hero extremely
easy to strike.


`- Page -. 24

Special Attacks
---------------
In  addition  to  a  primary  weapon,  each  hero has a special attack
method.  In order to use a special attack, the target enemy must be in
range.

- Stinger throws Daggers at the enemy.
- Windleaf strikes foes with her Bow.
- Harv-5 fires his Seed-Shooter at his opponent.
- Xero delivers a jarring Headbutt to a foe.
- Jirina throws energized Warspikes at the enemy.
- Clemett uses his Multicannon as a bludgeon.


                               Items
                              `-----.
(R1 button)

This  Command  Menu  lets  you review your item inventory.  Only items
with  a combat function are displayed to streamline the process.  Pick
the item you need and go for it!

During battle, items are organized and color coded as follows:

HP Restorative - Green
MP Restorative - Purple
Cure State     - Blue
Inflict State on Enemy - Red


`- Page -. 27

                               Magic
                              `-----.

(R2 button)

This  command  menu  lets  you quickly access the spell list for magic
users.   From  there  you can scroll through spells and select the one
that  best  fits your needs.  During battle your most potent defensive
and  offensive  spells  will appear at the top of your spell inventory
for easy access.

Spirit Magic - Windleaf
Channels  energy  from  the heavens as well as from all living things.
Many spirit spells deal with the elements, or the power of creatures.

Earth Magic - Jirina
Brings  forth  power  from  the  planet.   Wind,  rain,  lightning and
earthquakes.  These elements are at the Earth magician's command.

Psi Magic - Xero
Focuses  the  power  of  the  Mind.  From potent telekinetic blasts to
subtle  mental  illusions, the Psi-Mage follows the philosophy of mind
over matter.

Tip:
Some  monsters  are immune to certain types of magic.  Be sure to note
how your spells are affecting the enemy.


`- Page -. 29

                          Battle Strategy
                         `---------------.

Many  foul  creatures  will  attempt  to  thwart your efforts, Use the
following helpful combat hints to maximize your battle skill.

Watch the Numbers
-----------------
When  you  strike  a  monster  in battle, keep an eye on the amount of
damage  you  are  doing.   If  it's  low, try a tougher attack mode or
switch to a different type of spell.  If it's high, make a note of it.
You've found a monster's weakness!

Stop the Charge
---------------
Monsters  will  do  their  best to overrun the heroes.  Send your best
close  range  combatants  to the front rank and engage the enemy.  Use
heroes in the rear rank for distance attacks and spell casting.

Fight Smart
-----------
Places  like  Karillon  and  the  Magic  Academy  contain  books about
monsters.   Study  them  for clues on monster weaknesses, then use the
knowledge  effectively Get enchantments on your weapons to exploit the
weak  spots  of  your  enemies.   Place wards on your armor to protect
against  a  monster's  magic  attacks.  Try the Twitch.  You can boost
Stinger  and  Harv's  hand-to-hand  damage by using the special Twitch
Attack.   After your hero begins to strike the enemy, press the action
button  quickly.   If you hit it just right, you'll execute the Twitch
Attack and score additional damage!

                        Character Statistics
                       `--------------------.

Character Status
----------------

is  feeling.   If  you suffer an ailment or are under the effects of a
spell,  it will let you know.  Use this information to seek the proper
cure or remedy.

with the ability to pick Level 1 locks; as he gains experience he will
learn how to pick more complicated locks.

certain  types  of  mystical  attacks,  like  poison,  sleep and other
ailments.

                           `-----------.

variety of mini quests to progress in your journey.

When  using  an Analog Controller, your ANALOG mode switch must remain
OFF while playing Sub-Madness or the Gadgeteer Simulators.

Sub-Madness
-----------
Use  the Barrel Sub to explore the mysterious fissure that lies at the
bottom  of  Loch  Domhain  and  hopefully  find  passage  to  Wyldern.
Launched  from Eyre, the Barrel Sub is a small craft designed to allow
the  Gadgeteers  (and a few select Arkosians) to explore the depths of
the  oceans,  seas  and  lakes.  The underwater tunnels are said to be
home  of  Ballaich,  the legendary guardian of Loch Domhain.  They are
also  home to a variety of aquatic beings, which do not take kindly to
strangers  entering their territory.  Dispatch them with your weaponry
.

careful!


`- Page -. 42

Gadgeteer Simulators
--------------------
If you are thorough in your exploration (or just plain lucky), you may
find the gateways into the long lost Gadgeteer Simulators.  Armed with
fascinating   Gadgeteer  weapons,  explore  some  out  of  this  world

LOCKPICKING
-----------
A  locked  door  or  chest may require Stinger to pick the lock.  Each
lock has two picks.  The picks play a series of four sequences.  Using
the  directional  buttons  for the left pick and the , , and
 buttons for the right pick, copy each sequence in order to unlock
the  door or chest.  Some locks are opened using Skeleton Keys.  These
rare items come in handy when Stinger's not around!

Hint:   Locks  come  in  four  levels  of difficulty, ranging from one
(easy)  to  four (tough).  Stinger begins the game with the ability to
pick  level 1 locks.  As he gains experience levels, he will learn how
to pick harder locks.

Another  Hint:  Just as locks come in four levels of complexity, so do
Skeleton Keys!  Be sure to use the right key for the right lock.


`- Page -. 45

CATAPULT
--------
Use the directional buttons to aim the crosshair and select the action
button  to  fire  the catapult.  Once the enemy stronghold is suitably
damaged,  your  allies  can invade and conquer.  Try to take out their
cannons...  before they take you out!

Hint:   Each  character  handles the catapult differently.  Some score
more damage, but cannot aim as quickly.  Others are speedy aimers, but
their  hits  are  not  as  destructive.   Use the button to change
characters during the catapult game.

It's  time  to  put  that  sword you found to work, unless you want to
suffer a gruesome fate.

To Arms! To Arms!

Engage!
`-------.
The  first  command  menu you see in battle is the Action Menu (access
with  L2  button).  Action commands relate to movement in battle.  The
first  command  is  Engage.   Engage selects a target to attack.  Once
engaged,  you rush toward the enemy, weapon in hand.  Use Engage until
locked in battle with your target.  You can also Evade an attack, Flee
the battle or Pass to another member of your party.

Attack Menu
-----------
Once engaged, the next window you see is the Attack Menu (access with
L1 button). Each command is a type of attack in hand-to-hand combat.

Guarded - Inflicts a low amount of damage, but increases your chances
          of evading hits in the fight.


`- Page -. 47

Normal - Inflicts  a higher level of damage than a guarded attack but
         lowers your defense.

Aggressive - Inflicts  the  greatest  amount of damage on your enemy,
             but leaves you vulnerable to counter strikes.

Special - Allows you to use your Special Attack.

Important  Tips:   The  Shoulder Button Menu System allows you instant
access  to  the  different  command menus, Remember that the L1 button
instantly accesses the Attack Menu and the L2 button quickly brings up
the  Action  Menu.   For more information on the Shadow Madness Battle
System and the Shoulder Buttons see page 22 of this manual,


Exploration Time!
`-----------------.

Checking Things Out
-------------------
Curious  about  an  object?   Want  to talk to someone?  Interested in
knowing  what that sign Says?  Walk up to the object of your curiosity
and  hit  the  Action  button.   Take notes!  Some things may not make
sense now, but may prove helpful later in the game!

Finding Items
-------------
During  your  adventure, keep an eye out for sparkling objects.  These
represent  Items  you  can pick up.  Don't forget to check out barrels
and  chests.   Walk  next  to them and press the Action button to grab
items.

Chest
Barrel
Green item
Red item
Blue item
Gold item

Use the Inventory Menu to keep track of items, To access the inventory
Menu,  press  the   button.  Using the directional buttons, you can
cycle  through  your  inventory.   A  brief  explanation  of each item
appears in the upper right corner of the screen.


`- Page -. 49

Walking and Running
-------------------
The   default   movement  in  Shadow  Madness  is  walking.   Use  the
directional buttons or the Left Analog Stick to move your character on
the  screen.   To  run,  hold  down the R1 button simultaneously while
using the directional buttons or Left Analog Stick.  Now you're really
moving!

Battle Avoidance
----------------
When  you  hear a haunting roar or howl, evil creatures are nearby and
looking for a fight.  If your Hit Points are dangerously low or you're
not  ready  for  a  fight,  immediately  press  the  L2 and R2 buttons
simultaneously  when you hear the 'battle roar'.  The Battle Avoidance
System  allows  you  to  dodge battle.  If you're quick enough, you'll
evade  the  attack!   Remember that you need experience points, so use
the Battle Avoidance System wisely.


Now you're ready to explore on your own.  Remember the world of Shadow
Madness  is  highly interactive.  Talk to everyone, pick everything up
and examine the many curious things you encounter,

All  my  manuals  are  near complete.  Formatted 70 characters across.
This  makes  it  easier  to  print them out in a 2 column sheet with a
small  font  size  of  approx.  7 - 9 points and a fixed-width font to
keep the nice even paragraphs.  Or do what you want of course :)

Please only email me if there are errors in the manual, don't email me
for requests. I will do manuals when I have the time (not much).
