Retro Game Walkthroughs for Twisted Metal 2 (PlayStation)
Submitted By: Unknown
This is a guide for all the levels for all the characters, as the
only difference when playing with another character is there
stats, which you should be aware of before starting ie If they
have good speed but poor armour eg Mr Grimm, then you should use
your speed to your advantage by constantly driving around fast to
avoid fire. Or if you have good armour and poor speed eg Warthog,
then you should aim to ambush your foe and collect as much ammo
as possible to guarantee a kill on your first ambush.
Ok, i will do one level at a time, as detailed levels help a lot
more than a few lines!
Los Angeles: Ok, once you start, head for the lightning generator
at one end of the map, and blow all four sub reactors, the lil
things on the floor, on at a time, to get some weapons, the
weapons appear in a red beam in the middle of the generator. Tip:
You might get struck, so to speed up collection, sit in the
middle where the beam comes down, and using your machine guns
spin on the spot by holding X and pressing left or right, this
way you get them as soon as they appear, allowing a quick stock
up, now drive out of the lightning area as fast as you can to
avoid damage! Now you can engage an enemy, as on the plains,
there will be an enemy somewhere no doubt. Tip: Take out
sweettooth first if he is on the level, as his special is
powerful and does home slightly. Once you have taken an enemy
out, if your damage is bad, head for a health pack. There are
three, one by the underpass section one, one in the secret area
across the little bridge, and another to the right of a giant
flamming pit. But use these wisely, as they dont reappear! You
might want to guard them if your worried the computer might nik
em. Tip: If an enemy falls into the flamming pit, freeze him
quickly and keep refreezing him, like Mr.Slam would, this way he
will burn to death, and it wont cost you ammo! Now you should just collect items and stay out of trouble and let the computer kill its players. A good place to hide is in the secret area, which can be reached either by travelling over a small bridge (which can be blown up with a remote), which can prevent people from attacking you, or by teleporting using the only teleporter on the level, which is situated above the overpass where the health pack is. To get to it, drive up the ramp in between the two overpasses and you will land on the
top.
Once there is only one or two enemys left, check there
positions on the radar (right+select), and you are low on ammo
and want to finish them off, then there are a few places where
ammo may be. The two pizza restaurants next to the overpasses are
destructable, and you get a 2 homeing missiles and 2 napalms if
you blow them up. More ammo will reappear around the outside of
the level, so just follow the highway round and round to collect
ammo, check the radar to see if there is an enemy round the
corner to avoid any unnessacary confrontations. Ammo may also
reappear inbetween the little buildings on the main plain which
are on fire and small. Tip: If you catch on fire at anypoint,
simply tap the turbo button (Triangle), and the flame will be
extinguished! If you have no turbo this wont work, so head for
water if there is any!!
So now if you want to finish the last one or two off, heres
a great tip to make it so much easier! Head towards the lightning
generator, but not into the strikeable area! And drive through it
if your opponent is behind you, as he will follow you, into the
area and bam! Strike him up to four times depending on how much
lightning ammo you collected, which is located in the secret area
and on the overpass. If he is infront of you, wait for him to
drive into the area then strike. Tip: When striking wait for each
bolt to finish, as this drains more life off the enemy then a
rapid strike does. This should significantly drain him, if it
doesnt kill him. If he does somehow manage to survive, Warthog
usually does as his armour is very tough, then simply finish him
off with whatever ammo you have left, if he's the last enemy then
just unload everything on him, as there would be no point to save
ammo as it doesnt carry through to the next level.
Ok, Moscow is next, i will write that next...

Hey again, welcome to your first real challenge in the game
Twisted Metal 2, as level is no ordinary level...
This level contains the boss from the first Twisted Metal,
'Minion'!
If you've selected your game on easy setting, then you wont be
able to advance further after this level, as to complete the game
you must select either medium or hard setting. So if you havent,
time to go back and do it again im afraid. But for those who are
on medium setting here comes the walkthrough for Amazonia
Firewalk...
This level is situated right smack bang in the middle of a giant
lava pool, so take note now, that if you fall into the lava, you
will be able to drive through it, but, you will slowly be drained
of your health until you burn up and die. Nice. This has an
advantage to the level though which i will explain later.
First off, ammo. There 5 sections to this level, its big as
you cant see the enemys who are right at the other end of the
level. The first section is the little island with the teleporter
and two palm trees. This can be reached in two ways. The first is
to drive through the lava, not the best way, which is the way the
computer uses though, or by entering the small temple building at
the end of the crumpled bridge. It has a secret door at the
front, which you can locate if you drive right up to it and turn
at an angle, as the graphics have a glitch meaning you can see
inside. To open it, simply blast the door down with machine guns!
Inside here is the other teleporter which takes you to the
island, and from there back again if you wish. Also there is a
napalm located in the little temple also. Also behind the back of
the temple there are three items which you will find usefull.
On the small island, you will also find some usefull ammo.
To get more, simply blast the palm trees away, and some will
appear in there place. There is also a health pack here as well,
which will dissappear quick as the computer uses the island a
lot. There is also a power missile above the crumpled bridge if
you need it.
Tip: If you are on the island and the computer locates you and
decides to drive through the lava, freeze him/her quick!! Keep on
freezing him/her until smoke comes out of them, then after a bit,
the scream of death, a nice burning death of course. This way you
dont have to use any of your ammo, just your rechargeable special
bar.
Other ammo on this level is located on the walkways, which
go around the centre of the level. If you follow it round you
will pass a small water pool (usefull for putting out napalm
fire, and getting the remote bomb!), a small wooden walkway which
goes right through the middle of the level, with a health pack on
it, and two other temple type buildings.
The temple buildings should be your main hide out location,
as they have ammo which is hard/impossible for the computer to
get. The first temple directly opposite the first temple i
described, at the other end, has no insides, just a roof with a
ramp to get up there. Up there you will find two homing missiles,
very usefull. The computer wont go up there unless you are up
there, as the AI instructs the enemies to kill rather then
collect ammo. Also behind this temple is more ammo if you need
it. The second temple should be your strongpoint for the level,
for these reasons. It has two secret chamber in it. One of these
has a remote bomb, and the other has a room with three flashing
buttons, blow these to recieve a health pack, napalm and turbo.
To get into the rooms, just blow the door open like you did
before, if you cant find them, look at the front of the temple
and if you look closely you will see a gap inbetween the secret
door and the walls, giving away there position. Now the reason
why i said it was a strong point, is the computer CAN NOT get
into these rooms, nor fire into them, apart from shadow and
specrte, which is a real bonus.
Ok, theres the ammo done for this level, now how to do it!...
When you start off here, your first aim should be to collect any
ammo within your near reach, and then head straight for the
temple with the two secret chambers. Collect the remote bomb from
one of them, then hide inside the one with the three buttons. Now
wait...If you have Spectre or Shadow on this level, you should
make it your duty to terminate these two guys first, as there
special attacks can penetrate the walls of the chamber. Simply
locate them, and destroy them, dont worry about losing ammo, just
get rid of them. If you need health i have described two places
for you to get them already, the island and the wooden walkway.
Ok, now depending on where you are, there are two statues in
the middle of the level, two horses i think, these are
destructable, blow one of them away, and you should gain entrance
to a tunnel, drive down it. Here you will find the third health
pack, richochets, and napalm or turbo. Collect these, leave the
health if you dont need it, save it for later. Now depending on
which end you come out of, head for the temple which you see
ahead of you, either the first one, or the one with the roof,
either way just get there. Collect the ammo there, and then head
DIRECTLY to the temple with two chambers. Wait inside the one
with three buttons. After a while, an enemy will venture past and
notice your there, he will wait and try to attack, but wont be
able to as the room is closed off apart from the door, which is
really small. And for some strange reason, they never attack head
on, they attack diagonally, so you will safe unless you venture
outside. Now they will drive back and forwards past the entrance,
and every time they do this, you should unload a missile or two
onto them, or even freeze them then attack. Tip: Always hold your
machine guns down, as they never run out, therefore you get free
damage to them if you hit them!!
Once you have wasted away two or three people and are left
with one or two, head for the little island. When you reach it,
check you radar for the position they are coming in from, as they
will drive to the island, and not teleport unless you do. When
they set foot, or should i say wheels, in the lava, simply freeze
them like i said before, and keep refreezing them over and over,
and they will eventually die. Use this technique to waste away
all the enemys who are left, or if your confident enough, use
this one technique to kill everyone.
Once this is achieved, time for Minion!!
Minion is a tough one, his stats are very impressive! His special
is the main way that people die, as it is an upgraded version of
Warthogs special, the parrot missiles. They are twice as strong,
and they have a freeze ball fired with them as well! Once you get
hit and frozen, your finished, as he will attack over and over
again, leaving you very very weak or dead.
The strange thing is though, even though he is supposed to
have risen from the lava, he is still damaged by it, this is your
advantage!!
I dont recomend using the island freeze technique as he will
strike first, and is fast, but if you want you can use a shield
special, up, up, right, and this will make you invincible for
three seconds or so, so when he fires you fire straight back with
a freeze, and then you can attack.
It is so much easier to use the two secret chambers to hide
out, as even if he was the best driver in the world, he cant fit
through the door, leaving you safe. Now every time he drives
past, freeze him, unload all you weapons onto him, freeze him
again, then TURBO out of there as fast as you can, better if you
drive behind him, as then he has to turn around and attack. Now
using you rear mirror, select+something, its in the booklet, or
experiment to find it, you can see when you is behind you and
firing, as the weapons come towards you use your shield to
protect you, and head for the tunnel under the lava and two
statues. Collect the ammo and race out the other end, collect as
much as you can around that area, as he will take time to catch
up, then head back to the chambers.
Repeat the technique over and over, and eventually he will
die, and you can even finish him off with a remote bomb if your
clever enough!
Phew, if you manage to kill him, which isnt hard with a little
practice, even possible on your first go, then congratulations!
