Ash
comments
When you
press Triangle (or 'Y' for XBox), Ash will say a funny comment.
Later in the game, he gains the ability to say different comments.
Dearborn
police station
When
you get to the Dearborn police station, the yard where you need
to go is surrounded by Deadites. You do not have to kill any
of them. First, find the Spell Scroll that allows you to posses
a Deadite for a limited amount of time,.This spell takes up
three mana. Posses a Deadite, then run to the other side of
the yard. You will find the Cypher and a envelope that you must
take to the auto body shop. Note: The police Deadites will not
recognize you as Ash, but the others will.
Finding
the silver on Civil War Dearborn
To get
the silver you need to close the vortexes on Civil War Dearborn
level. Go to the graveyard. Once there, go to the location that
you had to insert the pentagonal key into the wall to reach
Eldridge on the Colonial Dearborn level. There will be four
silver pieces in the shape of bars near the opposite wall.
Kill
and not get hurt by Deadites
When
you are killing Deadites, Zombies, etc. with your chainsaw,
impale one with your it. Notice that the other deadites will
not attack as you do this.Then
when your impaling is over, quickly impale another Deadite,
and repeat.
Finding
the crystals at the museum
First,
get a device that beeps when you are near a crystal. To do this,
go to the picture of Nathaniel Payne and place the two pots
you found in the basement there. The picture will open and you
will get it. The first crystal is in the small Civil War section
near the guard. Blow open one of the houses. The second crystal
is under one of the ice age animals. It is the one up in a cave.
The third crystal is in the center of the sun diagram. The final
crystal is in the corner of the Egyptian section. This last
crystal has a map behind it with a symbol by each section. Remember
the symbols because they represent the order that the crystals
go into the wall.

Defeating
Nathaniel Payne
Use your shovel like a baseball bat. Hold Square and release
when he throws a chunk of rock at you. Do not get the rock confused
with the energy ball that is thrown
Defeating
Eldridge
Wait until he is walking toward a barrel
and gets close to it. Then, shoot the barrel and it will explode,
flipping him over. Start shooting him after he flips over. Later
in the fight, he will start charging you. When this happens,
run along the walls until he runs into one, then start shooting
him.
Defeating
Trisha
When she opens her mouth, throw a piece of dynamite into it.
