Hostile Waters: Antaeus rising cheats / Hostile Waters: Antaeus rising hints / Hostile Waters: Antaeus rising faqs / Hostile Waters: Antaeus rising solutions Hostile Waters: Antaeus rising hints Braving the torrid waters of Rage's action-strategy romp is no mean feat. Fear not - this game guide will help you stay afloat. What's the best way to attack an island? Advance carefully into enemy territory. Take out any targets you come across while keeping out of the enemy's field of vision. Should you stumble upon two gun emplacements in close proximity, try to position your vehicle so that one gun is immediately behind the other. In this way, only one gun is able to attack your vehicle, making your job much easier. What's the use of being able to manoeuvre whole groups? At the start of the game you are forced to deal with the enemy on your own, but as the game progresses and the enemy attacks become more forceful, the ability to coordinate group attacks is essential. How should I assemble units? When assembling units, remember that they have different abilities. For instance, if you equip one helicopter with a rocket launcher, make sure you equip another with a machine-gun. In a dogfight, the machine-gun will be able to deal with enemies at close range, while the rockets provide excellent long-range cover. What should I do with the Scarab? Regularly check on your Scarab as it often gets stuck on corners or on objects. You should destroy big objects with rockets so that the Scarab has less work to do and can concentrate on the task of collecting energy. Always remember that you can only produce units if you have enough energy. Can I avoid the rockets? As much as you enjoy pumping the enemy full of heat-seeking missiles, bear in mind that they are always waiting to extend you the same courtesy. You can avoid the enemy's rockets by flying towards him immediately after he has fired. As the rockets aren't very easy to control, it's unlikely that he'll be able to hit you. How high should I fly? Always fly close to the ground. The advantage of this is that when you are attacked from behind, you can sweep behind a hill or rock-face to avoid your opponent's missiles. What vehicle should I use to attack? Consider carefully which vehicle you use to attack the enemy positions. Some gun turrets can only be used on air targets, while ordinary tanks only shoot at ground targets. How can I defend a particular area? If you have enough energy, build a wall of Sentinels. You can use the Pegasus to position them, gradually moving your battle line forwards and providing yourself with a solid defensive position in case of attack. Should I allocate a character to each vehicle? As you only have a few characters at the start of the game, you should manually control any vehicles that you don't use much. The Pegasus, for instance, is hardly used at all except for transporting. You should let the computer control any repair units, as they are essential both during and immediately after battles. Why should I destroy refineries? By destroying refineries it is possible to stop the production of enemy tanks and helicopters. Due to the importance of these structures, they are always well fortified, so keep a look out for nearby oil tankers to use as quick and easy ammuntion. If there aren't any tankers in the area, use the Pegasus to air-lift some in. Once you have destroyed a few refineries, your opponents will find it hard to produce any additional units and, in most cases, you won't need to worry about the production plants any more. MISSION 2 What do I need to do at the start of this mission? First build a helicopter and a Scarab. Take the Scarab to the island and search the area for usable waste. Collect 5,500 energy units before turning your attention to the second objective. What do I do with the crashed helicopter? Steal the helicopter wreckage from inside the deserted base with the Pegasus, then transport it to the aircraft carrier to be recycled. Now build the Hornet helicopter, which has weapons systems. Use the Hornet to repel the oncoming enemy helicopters. MISSION 3 What do I do first? Fly to the island and destroy the satellite installation and surrounding oil pumps. Be sure to check that the production plant has ceased producing tanks, and then completely destroy the building with your Hornet. Collect the scrap metal with the Scarab, then fly the Hornet to the centre of the map and destroy the security systems. What do I do with the gun? Use the Pegasus to fly the gun to the aircraft carrier and have it examined. Meanwhile, find the last radar position and destroy it. MISSION 4 What's the best way to destroy the helicopter base? To ensure that there are no more helicopters on this side of the island, you should first take out the two pumps. Following this, transport the Scarab to the mainland to begin scavenging for energy. Instead of flying to the centre of the island (where there are plenty of heavy guns waiting to shoot you down), fly to the northwest of the island to pick up the tank. Then plot a course to the northeast of the island and drop the tank on the helicopter base. Use a few rockets to set the tank alight and blow up the hangar. Now you can attend to the satellite dish in the centre of the island, making sure to destroy the four gun turrets on the corners first. How do I destroy the satellite dish? Fly to the docks and take the second tank. Drop the tank next to the satellite dish and fire at it. Wait to intercept the radio message before you destroy it. MISSION 5 Where should I start my attack? First attack the fortress on the hill in the north and collect the scrap metal lying around. Salvage the unknown object from the fortress with the Pegasus and take it back to the Antaeus. After a short examination you will be able to build the Salamander, which can be used on both water and land. Your second target is the helicopter production plant in the centre of the island. Be aware that the area around the hangar is closely guarded. Then fly to the south and destroy the other helicopter production plant. The aircraft on the runway also has to be destroyed. Once this has been dealt with, a giant alien plant will sprout out of the wreckage. At this point you should stop your air attack and send in the Salamander. It can take care of the big gun turrets without sustaining much damage. Finally, send in the Scarab to salvage some energy, and, most importantly, pick up the remains of the alien growth. MISSION 6 Which vehicles should I build? In this mission a wrong investment can have disastrous effects. Build a Hornet, a Pegasus and a Scarab. Set down the Scarab on the dock using the Pegasus and then recycle the Pegasus. With the extra energy, build a Sentinel with a rocket launcher. In the meantime, send the Hornet to destroy a few buildings on the dock to give the Scarab something to collect. Once you have collected enough energy you can build another Sentinel. Equip it with a Scalpel, which is ideal for close combat. How do I protect my ship? Build a Scarab with a repair unit and leave it on the Antaeus to repair the Sentinels that are lying around. Another Hornet will help you to intercept the enemy helicopters and bombers. MISSION 7 Which vehicles do I need to start off with? Make a Salamander, a Scarab and a Hornet. Use these vehicles to attack the beach and destroy all security systems in the neighbourhood. Occasionally, you may have to tell the Scarab where to collect scrap metal otherwise it stands around doing nothing. Instruct the Salamander to follow the beach towards the northeast. Take out the defence systems, most of which are programmed to deal only with air targets. Once this danger is removed, you can turn your attention to the boat by the pier. Where will I find the laser? Order a chopper to fire at the boat, while you steer the Pegasus towards the harbour. Pick up one of the green crates using your hook and take it to the Antaeus to be investigated. As soon as the laser has been researched, equip a Hornet with one and fly it to the marked spot on the map. Use the zoom function to help you take out the pilot standing by the helicopter on the other side of the road. How do I destroy the installations? You must destroy the enemy air force and supply buildings. These are in the western part of the island. Fly close to the base with the laser-equipped Hornet and try to destroy it from a safe distance. As the laser isn't very good at hitting flying objects, you should take a couple of Hornets with you for protection, equipped either with rockets or a Scalpel. You should also order artillery fire from the aircraft carrier. Once you have achieved this mission aim, fly to the small island in the west and destroy the ship lying at anchor there. Near the air force base you will find a tanker which you can use to sink the ship. MISSION 8 How do I defend the Antaeus? Build a Sentinel, a Scarab, a Pegasus and a Salamander. If you have enough energy, build another Sentinel and take both to the platforms at the entrance to the northern ravine. Now your attackers won't be able to get to the Antaeus. Use your Scarab to collect the scrap metal in the ravine, then use the returned energy to build a repair unit and position it behind the two Sentinels. Once the harbour has been secured, build a Hornet and use it to take out the distant gun turrets. How do I destroy the power plant? The power plant is in the north of the island. Fly toward it and attempt not to get embroiled in any fighting on the way. Once you arrive, immediately launch an air attack on the building from the Antaeus. MISSION 9 How do I get the 6,000 energy units? It's relatively easy to get the 6,000 energy units. First make a Puma and camouflage it, and then send it along the road a few hundred metres in an easterly direction where it will serve as a radar to detect approaching helicopters. Send the Scarab into the camp on the beach so that it can destroy the silos and collect the pieces. If an enemy helicopter appears, return with the Scarab to the marked spot on the beach. Once you have collected enough metal, drive the Scarab into a safe hiding place. Now explore the island with the Puma and note the position of the three radar stations with their white spherical tops and four searchlights. Then go to the northeastern section of the island where you will find the secret rocket base. The rockets will be fired shortly after you appear, giving you just 18 minutes to destroy all three radar stations. You will need a Pegasus helicopter for this task. Fly it to the beach opposite the Antaeus. Behind it you will find the end of the tracks on which two highly explosive containers can be found. Take the containers to different radar stations. You will find the third container at the end of the tracks behind the radar station in the northwest. Use a few well-aimed shots at the containers to blow up the radar stations.
