Arcade cabinet

In the earlier stages of the game, there are a few cabinets of the original Area 51 arcade game,
complete with red and blue light-guns.

Masons and Illuminati connection

Soon after meeting Dr. Cray, you will reach an infirmary where you will find clones of Mr. White walking
around, mumbling, and rambling on. On the back of their lab coats you will find a Masonic lodge (a symbol of
the Free Masons) suggesting a connection between the Masons and Illuminati.

Interesting scans

During the training levels, scan everyone that you can. You will find some interesting equipment of the MPs,
including adult diapers and condoms. Additionally, hold Right Analog-stick Down (with the default controller
configuration, or in the opposite direction in the inverted configuration) until your scanner stops moving and
you appear to be looking at your feet. You can now scan yourself and see information about Cole.

Moon Landing Conspiracy

When you reach "Lies of the Past: Checkpoint 4", you will ascend in an elevator. Exiting the elevator, you
will see a replica of the Moon's surface, a model of the U.S. space suit, and a shuttle the United States used
to reach the Moon. This is in reference to the Moon Landing Conspiracy, claiming that the U.S. never actually
reached the Moon, and faked the landing to beat the Russians in the space race. Additionally, go to a building
behind the crane operations and scan a top secret file. Go back to the secrets in the campaign menu and play
Doctor Cray's diary to hear him say something similar to "Man certainly has been to the moon but the horrors
of the alien life form that reside there have never been reviled to the public." This refers to the theory
that there is alien life form on the moon and that the government chose to hide it from the public.

Alien grenade upgrade in Life Or Death

Search the dead soldier in one of the elevators where Cole starts the level to find a small key. Use it to
open the small lockers in the first power conduit pit to find a databank item. It will upgrade the alien
grenade so that it will track targets.

Sharks with machine guns in The Grays

Go into the fourth room in the level, where you can see the monorail you entered the level from out of the
window. Push the computer console there and it will say "Lifter activated". Make your way back outside to the
monorail. You can now stand on it. Run all the way to the back of it and you will be warped to a strange room
with sharks that have machine guns attached to their heads.

Defeating Grays

To defeat Grays that use shields, mutate and fire parasites at them. It will bring down the shields faster
than any other weapon in the game.

Defeating the Super Beast

When fighting the Super Beast, rather than running straight at him, run around in a circle. When he gets near
an explosive barrel, shoot it. It does more damage then the BBG. Watch out for his plasma shooting arm as
well. When you finish, Edgar will talk to you, and you get to see him.

Defeating the Super Theta

To defeat the Super Theta, you will use generally the same strategy as defeating the Theta except for a few
things. It is recommended that you leave at least one shot in your Meson Cannon for him because of how much
damage the weapon will do. Do not worry too much if you miss, because the Super Theta is still very easy.
After you shoot him with the cannon, transform into mutant form and attack him with melee if your health is
full or with the parasites if it is not. After a few hits it will leap up onto one of the four cryo-chambers
and break it open, releasing the alien amoebas. These things must be meleed because the parasites will not
trace them. Wasting the contagion on them will only drain your energy. They are not too difficult to hit in
mutant form, because the "mutant vision" slows them down. Also, do not stand underneath the chamber that the
Super Theta is breaking open, because afterwards it will drop almost directly underneath and will deal either
fatal or nearly fatal damage when it hits the ground if you are there. However, after it does land, move in
close and melee it for a few hits. The amoebas will not drop down immediately. After you kill the amoebas,
start shooting parasites and using melee against the monster. When it jumps off of the second chamber, fire
your contagion at it and melee the amoebas that appear to refill your mutagen. This is done after the second
one because of the sheer numbers of Black Ops that you fight before him may have severely drained your health.
You may want to use the parasites to refill it. If this is not the case, feel free to use the contagion after
he breaks the first chamber. After you use the contagion, repeat the process of melee and parasites until the
monster dies. The fight should take no longer than ten minutes.

Defeating the Theta

To defeat the Theta easily, first make sure that you have a fully charged Mutagen bar and at least three
quarters of your health remaining. There are health power-ups lying around where you fight it. Then, enter the
room where it is as a mutant and either fire parasites or melee the Leapers that come after you. Use parasites
on the first few to restore your health, then attack the rest with melee to keep your mutagen full and also
leaves the health power-ups available if needed. Try not to hit the explosive barrels as they will almost
certainly kill you instantly. The Theta will appear after about four Leaper waves and leap at you. Fire a few
parasites at it, then move in close to melee it. Though the Theta is both fast and strong, in your mutant form
it is very easy to hit it and dodge it's attacks because of how the "mutant vision" slows him down. The only
attack to worry about is its jump attack that will cause almost fatal damage, even with the damage reduction
of mutant form. If you repeat this process (attacking the Leapers with melee or the parasites when they
appear) you will defeat the Theta fairly quickly and still have plenty of health and mutagen remaining for the
next level.

A good way way to defeat the Theta is to first mutate. Next, fire parasites; or if you want to take a chance,
fire contagion to lay some heavy damage on him. Note: Use contagion for heavy damage, but parasites
also work well, especially because they heal you. When your mutagen runs low, run up and melee him and/or the
enemies he releases on you (the "bubbles" or leapers). Keep doing this and he will eventually go down. This
will take some time to accomplish and may be difficult at first.
