Sidebars
Throughout this guide, the following sidebars are used to bring your attention to certain aspects of the game.
Teammates
This sidebar is used to show you any Ghostbusters that will be accompanying you for a particular segment. This is important since they will assist you and can come to your rescue if you're incapacitated. Proceed with extra caution if the sidebar reads None since that means you're alone; the mission will fail if you go down.
Cursed Artifacts
Scattered throughout each stage are an assortment of Cursed Artifacts for you to find. If your PKE meter shows a blue reading, a Cursed Artifact is nearby. You can use your Paragoggles to hunt it down and scan it. Scanning a Cursed Artifact secures it and earns you bonus money. Finding them also works towards an Achievement/Trophy.
Achievements & Trophies
The game has an assortment of Achievements (Xbox 360) or Trophies (PlayStation 3) for you to earn. They are broken down generally into the following groups:
- Completing stages of the Career.
- Performing assorted Ghostbusting duties.
- Performing particular tasks. Each stage has an optional task that unlocks an Achievement/Trophy, and there is an optional task that spans multiple stages.
- Buying upgrades to your Proton Pack.
- Building knowledge of ghosts and the paranormal.
- Multiplayer Achievements/Trophies.
Achievements/Trophies that can be made during the course of the game will be described in the Walkthrough, and a complete list is provided at Ghostbusters: The Video Game/Achievements.
