MESSIAH™
HELPFUL HINTS
• To possess a character, flap your wings and fly into the character’s back. You can de-
possess at any time by pressing the depossess key.
• Try to possess characters when no one else is looking. Characters won’t attack if you
appear to be like them.
• Bob is very fragile and defenseless. Whenever possible, possess other characters and use
them for camouflage as well as armor. If you possess a Cop without being seen for instance,
other Cops won’t pay attention to you. If you do get in a fight, the possessed Cop takes the
damage, not Bob.
• Keep those weapons holstered! Running around with your gun ready is a sign of
aggression to other characters.
• Elevators in Messiah are a bit different than other games but are quite easy to operate once
you get the hang of it. Stand in front of the elevator console you wish to operate and turn the
character to face it. Press the action key while pressing forward or backward depending on
which way you want to go.
• Keep an eye out for better weapons and ammo. Explore your environment whenever
possible.
• Characters each have their own set of skills, use different characters to access different
areas or consoles.
• It’s helpful to be “light on your feet” in the platform style levels.
• Bob can regain health by possessing another character and taking some of their life
essence to replenish his own.
• The Cops and the Chots have a natural aversion to one another. When these two classes of
characters come in contact with one another, expect a firefight. If you don’t understand why
you’re being shot at, chances are that another character may not get along with the class of
character that you are currently in possession of.
