Rise of the Dragon/Day 1


 * Scheduled events:
 * 16:00: Meanwhile with Johnny Qwong and lab technician about planned production.
 * 19:30: Date with Karyn (only if you give her the flowers).

Blade's
Waking up, pick up your CLOTHES from the floor and your COAT from the rack. Click on your pillow and pick up you GUN. Enter the bathroom and open the cabinet and get all there is inside (NAPENT and HEALTH KIT). Exit and close up to your sink. You must open your cupboard but you don't have the keys. Exit. The flashing light indicates you have new Vid-phone messages, so close up. Get the AMMO CLIP. Turn on the Vid-phone and get the control. Play your messages:


 * 1) The mayor tells you about your mission requesting you to look for some Jake at the Pleasure Dome and sends you a photo of Chandra's body.
 * 2) A useless advertisement (a red herring which adds some realism).
 * 3) Karyn's message about your date last night when you didn't show up.

Press your card slot and get your ID CARD.

Open your large inventory and wear your CLOTHES (You are supposed to wear your COAT also but nothing will go wrong if you don't). Arm your GUN with the AMMO CLIP (Actually you won't use weapons until the last day so you can leave it here to save some trouble at the Dome. To be precise the GUN is totally useless if you find the RIFLE much later in the game but the riffle is considered a 'bonus' so if you miss it, you will need the gun).

Outside, you are in front of the elevator.

You can go right and look at the yet unbuilt portion of the flats. There is nothing to do there (if you try twice to walk, you will die). If anybody knows if there is anything to do there, please do tell.

On the roof, there is nothing to do there also. You won't visit it unless you gain the hover car. So the only way we can go is down, to the subway.

For now, the only options you have is CITY HALL or PLEASURE DOME

City Hall
The mayor said you'd look first in the Dome, but it would be preferable to get your keys from Karyn first.

At the alley talk to the florist and buy ROSES by giving her your ID CARD. If you refuse buying, you can come back later when you realize how useful they will be with Kar. If you forgot your ID in your apartment, you can't buy, so look below. Talk to the bum if you like, and he will starting shouting about a doom and the rise of Bahumat.

Also, if you want, enter the alley on the edge and take a closer look to the factory on the right. It's a pharmaceutics laboratory but something tells you that it's not what it seems. Leave the factory and go to the left, squeeze through the boards where you will see a solitary Asian man. Talk to him and listen what he has to tell you. You will do here more later.

Return to the initial screen and go to the left where you will arrive outside the City Hall. Enter the Lobby and talk to Jenni the secretary (she will talk to you anyway if you try to enter a door). She has a crush on you. Reply to her accordingly, positive, negative, or flatter her and leave her 'hoping' (there are rumors that if you are 'positive' to her, Karyn will break up with you but I haven't managed to trigger this. If anyone knows more, please contribute).

Enter the office and talk to Karyn, angry for ruining your yesterday date. She will give your KEYS. It's a good idea to apologize. If you have the ROSES, offer them to her, in order to trigger a later cutscene with your date. If you play the boss and act unrepentant, she will be angry and refuse to talk with you more (but she will be ok tomorrow).

Blade's
Return home, insert your ID CARD in the slot and enter. If you forgot it in the apartment, you have locked yourself outside but you can work this through: just turn the gauge on the top left and the door will be short-circuited.

Look the cabinet above the sink, open it with the KEYS that Karyn gave you, and get all you find there, MINI BOMBS, FISTO BAR, WIRE TESTER

Pleasure Dome
If you decided not to carry the GUN with you, you can come to the Dome first, as the mayor told you to; however if you decided to carry it with you, you would like to visit the CITY HALL first so that you can get the KEYS from Karyn and then the FISTO from your apartment).

As you approach the entrance, two bouncers will scan you for guns (Trivia: The Cyborg is called Arreis, an anagram of 'Sierra').

If you have the GUN, you have the options
 * To play the tough guy which will result into punches and the option to re-approach but this will lead you nowhere.
 * To give it to them; however on your exit,
 * they will 'forget' that you ever gave them a gun (but this is no problem if you find the RIFLE later).
 * If you want to avoid this trouble, make sure you give them also a FISTO BAR if they ask for 'anything else' so that they will give you a TICKET to reclaim your weapon.

As you enter, you need to find Jake. Searching you can talk with two people, Darcy and Patch but they won't be of help (they will just tell you to look at the bar).

At the bar you can also talk with three people, Mujalambo the barman, Casey Jones and Candi.

Candi will also invite you to a night out. If you do, Karyn will catch you and break up with you. This will result in a dead end, so your only option is to restore a game.

The Jake is actually the person on the back. You can be both tough or nice. A suggested dialogue is 1, 2, 2, 1 or if you have a FISTO BAR still with you, 1, 3, give FISTO BAR, 2, 1. He won't believe that Chandra is dead, so show him her PICTURE. He will invite you to his office.

He mentions that some Chen is responsible for her death and all the drug circulation. Try to learn Chen's address. (A suggested dialogue is 2, 3, 3, 3). If you choose wrong replies and upset him, you won't be able to learn it.

If you haven't done so, offer him a FISTO BAR now and you will trigger a 'secret' arcade sequence in the final day. If you don't have a FISTO now, you will be able tomorrow.

Leave. If you have left your gun and have a TICKET, show it to Martha and get your gun back.

Leave. CHEN-LU'S APPARTMENT will be visible now in the map.

Chen-Lu's Apartment
As soon as you arrive, you see a mysterious man exiting. He is Snake, who has just finished his job clearing Lu out of the way.

Enter ad you will see patched Lu struggling dying. You will see a Meanwhile with the cops alarmed about Snake's entry. Now your movements must be counted.

Close up to the Vid-phone, note the phones which all end in 0772. See Lu's messages. Deng Hwang warns Lu about his mistake of causing an important person (Chandra, the Mayor's daughter) to die, and his 'punishment'. Get the ID CARD and exit.

Now you have two options:
 * Leave to the em-way and wait until the cops arrive and leave, and return later.
 * Of course you can do all the following as fast as possible, before the cops arrive.

Go to bedroom, press the glittering dragon's eye and close up to the safe. Enter 0772 and it will open. Get the FISTO BAR and the SCROLL. Leave and go to the bathroom. Get the PATCH and leave.

If you choose to leave and return, you can reenter the apartment by inserting the ID CARD in the door to continue your investigation. If you missed the card, you can use a MINI BOMB but it will alert again the cops and your movements must be again counted.

If the cops arrive, you will be brought in as a suspect for the break in and Lu's murder until the Mayor sets you free. Until then, you will lose precious time, and Karyn will be left alone waiting for you.

When you are done, if it's too late (about 19:30) go to Karyn's for your date. Or else go to City Hall.

City Hall
Go to Karyn and give her the PATCH for an analysis. It will be ready tomorrow. Show her also the LU'S ID CARD. You will see info on Snake and Johhny Qwong.

ONLY if you think you have enough time, you can also visit the old man in warehouse district; you are supposed to give him Chen Lu's SCROLL and he will give you some items but it's not something worth the rush.

If you don't have enough time for your date, you can do all this tomorrow.

Karyn's
When it's about 19:30, sooner or later, you will see a cutscene of your dinner out with Karyn. Sega CD version has the adult content cut.
