Ideally, don't connect through telnet, as it will (take this from me) look incredibly shit.


The Basics.

Note: This map is actually outdated now, but the shops are still the same, and are still important. Use 'gmap' (see commands) for a wide view.


And this guide covers what, exactly?

Where to go, commands to learn, how to make money, how to learn skills.

Okay. So you've got through Character Generation. You've got your brand spanking new character, high hopes, and the locals asking if you can supply them with drugs. Lovely. ..So now what?

Well, first off, learn to use the map. It's a clever little feature that is both useful and loveable. Each block of colour, usually with relevant lettering, represents a place or shop. For example, the two blocks of purple on the map that state 'JW' happen to be Jack and Wendy's food store. The red block with TH is the Threads Store. ML is Meds 4 Less. And so on and so forth. It changes regularly, but the use of 'gmap' should help you out.

Secondly, take note of the red blocks with the < >'s in them. These are exits into different parts of the world, some more dangerous than others. Your risk, your choice, your enjoyment. Explore as much as you can. Just be prepared for the worst.


Places to learn in Freedom City

There are plenty more places, but I would rate these amongst the more important. Learn them, and you'll be well on your way. Once you've learned these, the next person you want to find is J'lar. He'll buy all manner of goodies off you. I won't tell you where he is, but an example would be..

A path winds north across the garbage dump, back toward the city ruins. The trash slopes west down to a stagnant pool.
J'Lar's wares are spread out on a worn blanket here.
J'Lar is standing here.
give porn to j'lar
Kaiokori gets out her porno mag.
Kaiokori hands J'Lar an issue of Boy's Life magazine.
J'Lar [to Kaiokori]: Lar give $18 for it.
nod
You nod.
Your credit implant beeps for a deposit of $18 from J'Lar.


List of useful Commands.

(I've put this in alphabetical order, to make things easier to find. Ugh. Note that St and Score are still the most important.)

Appraise < item / person > = Depending on your appraise skill, this tells you in detail about a weapon, or whether you can kill someone.
app butch

 blacklash brushes over the eyeless zombie's chest, which gives off a puff of
 acrid smoke.
[K*e] the tip of Kaiokori's
 blacklash brushes over the eyeless zombie's abdomen, which gives off a puff
 of acrid smoke.
[K*e] Kaiokori's blacklash
 burns a slithering cavity through the eyeless zombie's head, causing blood
 and ash to spray everywhere.

The eyeless zombie immediately falls over, totally inert.

Wank = Have a wank. Cure your horn. Or better still, wank ON someone.
Gilmore must have been standing here for a while, although you didn't notice until just now.
Gilmore reaches for his crotch, massaging his balls with one hand and stroking his dong in a steady rhythm with the other.

Kaiokori gets ready for a riot by putting on her nanoweave zoot suit.

Wield < item > = Switches said item to your primary hand. Important in battle.

Learning Skills.

Somewhere in Freedom City, there's an area which has a pole covered with flyers. Looking at the flyers will reveal who can teach you what, whether it be fuck, blades, climb.. you get the picture. The game pretty much revolves around XP. Type Score to see your total.. if you've earned XP, it should say something like "XP 13 (13 unspent)." XP is mostly earned by fighting. Each thing that you beat will award you with a XP bonus. The more XP you earn, the better things are for your character. You can spend this XP to earn levels in particular skills. For example..

1. According to the flyer, I can learn/raise Linguist from Hasu. I have to find her first. A bit of hunting around reveals the randy bitch lurking in the Giggling Schoolgirl stripclub.

2. Type 'learn from Hasu' to see what skills she's able to offer.

Learn from Hasu
You think Hasu can teach you about linguist.

3. Type 'Learn linguist from Hasu'.
Learn linguist from Hasu
Kaiokori asks Hasu to teach her about linguist.
You spent 280XP.
You feel your linguist improving!

This basically means you've raised a skill at it's RAW base. Tutors will teach you up to a certain level, but beyond that you will have to earn levels via percentage. Raise the percent in a skill to 100%, and you will earn yourself a new RAW level.

The more levels you can raise, the more skillful your character becomes in the skill of your choice, and the better it is able to survive. Lovely.

If you don't have enough XP, then the 'bot' characters will let you know how much more you need to earn. For example
learn from hasu
You think Hasu could teach you about linguist.
learn linguist from hasu
Kaiokori asks Hasu to teach her about linguist.
Hasu [to Kaiokori]: I can't work with you if you don't have some aptitude to start with.
[ Raising your linguist to level 1 would cost 280 XP -- you only have 143 XP. ]

Straight forward and simple. Learning skills from all characters works this way.


Makin' Money

There's a few ways to make money when you first start out. Here's three of them.

- Method One: : Take a trip to the orphanage. It seems that some of the parentless children have managed to contract rabies. . and we can't have that. Sister Agnes WON'T have that. If you look at the children in the orphanage, you should be able to tell which ones are rabid, and which are mostly healthy. Find a kid that's foaming at the mouth (make sure you look at them to make sure you're only killing rabid ones), and stab/shoot/punch it till it's dead. Then go upstairs to the administration office, find Sister Agnes, and type -Agnes "Pay me, please!" She'll pay you $50 for every rabid child you put down. Not bad for being a baby killer. (Don't let Alvin see you doing it, though.)

For example:

This is a perfectly healthy child. No need to stab.
Scruffy Jenny is standing here.
[ Exits: north south west down ]
Scruffy Jenny [to Kaiokori]: I'm cold. Why is it cold?
look jenny
A mud-faced little tyke scampers about the room, eyeing you suspiciously from time to time, then laughing at some private joke. These kids seem ill-fed and mostly neglected; you're surprised they can even talk.
Scruffy Jenny looks healthy.

Whereas this one needs to be put down.
Baby Jeffy is standing here.
[ Exits: south ]
Baby Jeffy [to Kaiokori]: You stupid!
l jeffy
This disgusting little brat is foaming at the mouth, and has slobbered all over the front of a torn mud-caked shirt. You suspect it might be rabid.
Baby Jeffy looks healthy.

Sister Agnes is standing behind her desk here.
[ Exits: east ]
-Agnes pay me
Kaiokori [to Sister Agnes]: Pay me.
Sister Agnes [to Kaiokori]: The benevolent fund could afford perhaps...$50 per rabid child?
Sister Agnes says, "Thank you for taking care of Baby Jeffy for us. Mother Mary smiles on your good work."
Your credit implant beeps for a deposit of $50 from Sister Agnes.

- Method Two: Another way to earn some cash is to wander up to the citizens, and ask them what they need. For example..

6Ray emerges from the strip club.
-6Ray What do you need?
Kaiokori [to 6Ray]: What do you need?
6Ray [to Kaiokori]: I'm starving, I'm horny as a goat, I need a smoke, and I lost my lighter.

Supply him with any of them (fuck him, give him some meat hacked from a dog corpse, etc), and you'll earn yourself between $2 and $160. You'll find a lot of the citizens browsing the local attractions at the Giggling Schoolgirl, and if you work hard and remain lucky, you can earn a fair amount very quickly.

- Method Three: Find the Sharpton Projects. On the map, you'll see a green square that states PR. (One south of the orphanage.) Head into that area by going Northeast from the junction.. and then (there's a choice of directions) east once you're inside. You're in! Down here, you'll find a variety of rats of all shapes and sizes. They give varying amount of XP, but you can earn up to 9XP per kill. If you're REALLY new in, run away from giant rats and stick to the tiny/small/tan rats. They're less likely to deal you a large amount of damage. (Don't forget your trauma kit, just in case.) Once you've killed one, hack the tail from it. It's worth $100 to the right guy, somewhere in Sharpton. His name is Chester. Sharpton is a maze, so be prepared to spend a while down there on your first try. Sharpton is also made for newbies, and there's nothing massively dangerous down there just yet. (Hint: Try searching in random rooms. You might find some goodies.)


The Do Not's.

There's not really many Do Nots in Hellmoo, but the few that there are will end up with you pretty deaded. I'm not going to spoil the fun, but I WOULD suggest not attacking people/animals in the streets or shops when there's police camera's hovering nearby.

Common sense, right?

You're likely to get socked in the face with either a trucheon-wielding robot, or have your intestines strewn across the ground due to the rather large K-9 dog who's just bitten clean through your abdomen. Hooray! If someone or something attacks you, you'll automatically fight back to defend yourself, and likely have some police help beating your opponent into a bloody pulp. Don't start fights in Freedom City, kiddies. Just finish them.

Good luck!
