Version Info
- Version 0.3 – Just the frame of the guide set up and a bit of the story. It’s a bit of a mess, but I hope to clean this up once I have a sense of how the game unfolds. (5/1/08)
- Version 0.5 – I would guesstimate I am about halfway through the main game, and as I am tackling all the side stuff as I go I think this guide is shaping up pretty well. (5/3/08)
- Version 0.7 – Happy Cinco de Mayo! I think I’m closer to the end. (5/5/08)
- Version 1.0 – Finished the walkthrough only, and all I got are cheats and a link for completionists. The rest is soon to come. (5/6/08)
- Version 1.1 – Just added Deal to the end of the game. Took a day off, sorry, geez. Fixed the Okami controls too… (5/7/08)
- Version 1.2 – Added a few reader tips – keep them coming guys. Also added 360 controls, the friends section, and the completionist section. (5/8/08)
- Version 1.3 – Added the start of my pigeon guide, which only works if you use the maps at my website. (5/16/08)
- Version 1.5 – Completed pigeon guide, added most of the ramps, and some small things. Will need at least one more update. (5/19/08)
- Version 1.6 – Finished stunts, began cars. Thanks to Haze being not so much, I can probably give this week to finishing this game completely so I never have to look at it again. It’s actually getting slightly old, just slightly. (5/20/08)
- Version 1.8 – Finished Stevie’s cars and all of section 7. Half-assed section 5 – so I’ve met my goals for this guide! (5/23/08) FAQ’s
Q: Where can I find another Infernus? The one I got from that guy [insert sad little story].
A: It’s rare, so I guess you’re best bet is to drive around in a fancy car and hope one spawns, but good luck.
Someone jumped the gun on me and told me that during Stevie’s mission you can just plant the Infernus in your parking lot and then go get another. I was going to check this out, so I’ll confirm this in the next update.
Q: [Insert sad story about how a mission marker is gone]?
A: No clue, it’s a glitch. Hopefully you can still turn off your game, restart it, and go on from there.
Q: [Insert story about an achievement glitch, which makes ME sad]?
A: Well, I don’t own the 360 version, so you are already barking up the wrong tree. But if you are not getting it then it has to be a glitch.
Q: Which version is better?
A: I hear the PS3 has smoother loading than the 360, and that is because of the hard drive install. Other than that, maybe tiny graphical edges and what I feel is just the game on the system it belongs on, there is no real advantage either way.
Q: Where do I take the cars for Stevie?
A: At the garage icon in Bohan, near your safehouse.

*NOTE: 90% of the questions I get are about glitches of which there are just universal fixes if any: reload a prior save, turn off the system and reload, sleep, blow into the cartridge, enchant with holy water, avoid feeding after midnight, never hug a zombie, vote Republican, throw it against the wall to see if it sticks, keep it in a file named “homework”, plan what to do once it MISSES those free throws, and other common sense ideas.*
Extra points for good spelling, and the easier the question is to answer, the more likely I’ll reply. Which means the better you set me up, the easier it is for me to knock it down.
I have other guides floating around too. They are:
Resident Evil 4 Dead Rising Gears of War Lost Planet Crackdown GRAW 2 Rainbow Six Vegas TES IV: Oblivion Shivering Isles Knights of the Nine The Darkness BioShock Halo 3 Half-Life 2 HL2: Episode One HL2: Episode Two Call of Duty 4 Assassin’s Creed Mass Effect Advance Wars: Days of Ruin Perseus Mandate Sam & Max Episode 203 Devil May Cry 4 God of War: Chains of Olympus Rainbow Six Vegas 2 Okami

I’ve also been published in GamePro magazine, June 2007. Pretty cool if you ask me, and all because I write these little guides.Also, I am in the October issue as well, which should be out at the time of this guide’s release. At least I ain’t a one hit wonder.In a nice surprise, I didn’t even know I was in the March 2008 issue of GamePro, but I am. Maybe I’ll be in more I don’t know about… Look to Gamerhelp.com for a slew of other articles written by me in the featured article section.

*NOTE: There are many more with single guides, and then others with a few, and some that I just don’t keep track of.*
All other sites must ask permission if they want this. All I ask is that the guide be ad-free and in this text format. Here is my website: (just as it’s written here)www.thechaosuniverse.com You’ll find all my other guides here too and perhaps something else you may like.
