This is primarily a guide to seeking and beating the Secret Missions
found hidden in all corners of the game. If you're here, that means you
need help to locate them. If not, please don't bother to read further
since most of it won't make sense until you have the software.

for having the information which led to the author being able to find
all 12 Secret Missions in the first place.

\ SECRET MISSIONS \
\ \
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Secret Missions can be called as mission within a mission. They are
designed so that you'll curse and swear at the designers for thinking
up of something to fustrate them, if not more so. Some are insanely
tough, some of them require long treks back to get them. But the
rewards are fulfilling. You not only get a Blue Orb piece for each
mission, and you'll get an item that will aid you in future battles as
well.
Note that you can return to do Secret Missions in a Round 2 and above
game, but if you've cleared that mission before, all you get is the
standard Yellow Orb.
The following guide will list the when, the where, and the how to
getting the 12 nice stars on your Save and Complete screen.
Remember, all this is OPTIONAL. Whether you wish to do it or not is not
under my control......
===============================
SECRET MISSION 1 - CRITICAL HIT
===============================
When - Mission 3, AFTER defeating Phantom
Where - Underwater, broken bridge area
Objective - Defeat the Sin Scissors by hitting at its weak point
How - Knock it off balance by shooting in its face with the
Shotugn. Then rush up and blast it in its face again using
the Shotgun. 60% of the time you should get it. If you're
too slow, you can always try again. Just be careful of
your remaining health......
Difficulty - 7/10
===============================
SECRET MISSION 2 - PHANTOM BABY
===============================
When - Mission 4
Where - Hall where you fought Phantom
Objective - Kill 100 Phantom Babies within the time limit
How - You can go around killing like crazy, or you can simply
use a Holy Water to finish the job in a second.
Difficulty - 1/10
=================================
SECRET MISSION 3 - PHANTOM BABY 2
=================================
When - Mission 4, AFTER clearing Secret Mission 2
Where - Time Statue room at the other end of the corridor where
you started off Mission 4 from.
Objective - Kill 100 Phantom Babies within the time limit WITHOUT
using weapons.
How - No, Holy Water won't work here. You'll have to crush 100
of them with your bare feet. Luckily the area is a small
one, else you'll be crying.
Difficulty - 6/10
===========================
SECRET MISSION 4 - 3 BEASTS
===========================
When - Mission 4, AFTER defeating the Shadow
Where - Arena directly below airplane room
Objective - Defeat all 3 Shadows
How - There's no easy way around this. Roll like crazy, run like
crazy, slash like crazy. Just be careful as the auto
aiming will look for the moving Shadows instead of the
core-revealed ones. You can bet that it's purposely done
this way......
Difficulty - 9/10
=================================
SECRET MISSION 5 - ONE-EYED DEMON
=================================
When - Mission 7
Where - Pipe room, where you found the Old Key during Mission 6
Objective - Let one Kyclops kill the other
How - Just to remind you that your health is still falling
during this time period, so take care NOT to get hit TOO
much. The hard way would be to move in between the 2 of
them, and hope that they shoot each other. Their claws
won't hit each other, but they WILL damage you. Another
easier way would be to jump on the pipes and stay jumping
so that they won't hit you, but rather jump on each other,
knocking each other out. Once one is dead, you can finish
off the other if you wish to.
Difficulty - 8/10
====================================
SECRET MISSION 6 - A BUNCH OF GHOSTS
====================================
When - Mission 11
Where - Garden Courtyard just before you ended Mission 10
Objective - Get the Blue Orb Piece in the air
How - You'll have to locate the Orb piece first, then start
jumping like crazy on the walls and on the heads of the
Sin Scissors bunch. Note that Sin Scissors won't attack
you if you're moving, so all you need to do is keep
jumping up and up until you reach the piece, then you can
let loose on them if you wish to. Falling down from the
top is going to be a regular feature though.
Difficulty - 2/10
===============================
SECRET MISSION 7 - WATER PRISON
===============================
When - post-Mission 13
Where - Check on the Captain's skeleton back in the Captain's room
of the Ghost Ship
Objective - Defeat all 8 enemies
How - Use the Needle Gun to defeat all the 8 Blades in the
water. Be careful to avoid getting caught in claw fire.
Difficulty - 3/10
====================================================
SECRET MISSION 8 - TREASURE GUARDED BY THE DEATH GOD
====================================================
When - Mission 15
Where - Check on the picture wall in the rolling spike area back
at the start of Mission 14.
Objective - Defeat all enemies
How - 3 Shadows, if lucky one at a time, if not, 3 at once. This
time there isn't much moving space, so be careful. If
you've gotten the Nightmare Beta the area becomes very
helpful with the constant rebounding of the shots.
Difficulty - 9/10
======================================
SECRET MISSION 9 - SHADOWS IN THE DARK
======================================
When - Mission 16, AFTER defeating Nightmare
Where - Airplane room
Objective - Locate and defeat all Shadows
How - There are a grand total of 4 Shadows hidden in 3 places. 2
of them are in the airplane room, 1 in the hall, 1 in the
bridge room. Standard Shadow fighting plan required, so
you should be used to them by now.
Difficulty - 8/10
=============================================
SECRET MISSION 10 - A LONELY FLIGHT OF STAIRS
=============================================
When - Mission 16, AFTER defeating Nightmare (or during 17)
Where - Colosseum
Objective - Get the Blue Orb Piece by climbing the stairs of death
How - A long jumping experience. Just make sure not to twist L3
too much or else you'll fall off. Alignment's paramount,
but then again, there aren't any enemies. More irritating
than difficult.
Difficulty - 1/10
==============================================
SECRET MISSION 11 - HOLY BLUE STONE IN THE SKY
==============================================
When - Mission 17
Where - Broken bridge
Objective - Get the Blue Orb Piece high up in the air
How - To ACTIVATE the Secret Mission is a pain in the butt. You
have only one chance to activate this by moving from the
end of the bridge back to the door end WITHOUT falling
into the water. The game recogises it when you step onto
the first and last platform. Thus jump on the first, Air
Raid towards the last piece, then jump on solid land to
START the mission (you'll know when the Secret Mission
screen comes out)
In this mission you'll have to use the jump-pools that the
Death Scythe will shoot out, avoid its attacks while
flying up to get the Orb piece. Chances are that you'll
end up falling into the water since you'll have no idea
where you land, so it's best to get it done in one single
try. Lots of resetting required here......
Difficulty - 10/10
=======================================
SECRET MISSION 12 - THE HIDDEN BRACELET
=======================================
When - Mission 21
Where - Hidden room behind wall opposite Time Statue of Mission 21
Objective - Get the Hidden Bracelet at the end of the Hidden Path
How - Cross the long stretch of road first (with couple of
Nobodys in the way), picking up the final Blue Orb Piece
here. At the end of the path there will be a large room
with a dragon waiting and blowing hot air. This time this
dragon dosen't spit fireballs, so you'll have to do it the
hard way: Hitting it on the head with weaponry. It's
impervious to all gun attacks though. Once you've defeated
the dragon 2 Frosts will appear. Defeat them, and jump
your way to the Time Bracelet!
Difficulty - 7/10

\ LAST WORDS \
\ \
<<<<<<<<<<<<<
This should be it, all in one release. If there is any need for updates
it'll probably come after I've confrimed the "When" part of the game,
since some of the Secret Missions allow you to try them a little later
than prescribed. All the "When"s at the moment are the earliest times
you can try though, so there shouldn't be any problems for those used
to the timings.
For now,
JL
