(Note: The [gnat] replaces the "@" symbol in this guide. It is to
thwart spambots looking for email addresses to send spam to.
Simply replace [gnat] with "@" when responding. I chose [gnat]
because it rhymes with "at" and is easy to remember. Likewise
the same for "." - [snot].)
This guide may only be distributed and/or posted in it's original format. If
you wish to post or use excerpts from this guide, PLEASE ask for my
permission before doing so (especially if you work for a magazine or
website). A lot of time and effort was spent putting this thing together and
that should be taken into consideration. And remember.....
"Respect is everything."
I truly want to thank those who have written to me about this guide even if
you haven't recieved a response. I tend to read my e-mail late at night and
sometimes I'm too tired to respond right away. Mainly because I'm either a)
updating my GTA related documents, b) hacking up a console or doing more RGB
experiments, or c) I've had a rough night at work (I work retail you
know....).
I've received a lot of nice e-mail about this guide from people around the
world saying how good the guide is and offering suggestions (most of which
made it into the previous revisions). I intend to continue updating and
polishing this document for as long as possible.

| I.1. Who Am I? |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
My name is Robert Allen Rusk and I am a 37-year old hardcore gamer with about
29 years of gaming experience. I am an ex-gametester (Broderbund Software,
LucasArts Games, Point Of View Computing) and an ex-arcade attendant (Namco
Cyberstation - Pier 39, San Francisco, CA).
I also own multiple systems such as the Sega Dreamcast, Super Nintendo,
Nintendo 64, Atari Jaguar, PlayStation 1, the PS2, and, of course, the Xbox.
I currently work at JCPenneys at one of the malls here in San Antonio, TX.
Retail isn't the best job in the world but JCPenneys is a very stable company
unlike some of the other places I have worked for in the past like internet
service providers or web programming companies.
I am also a member of the X-Otic Computer Systems of San Antonio
(www.xcssa.org), a group who specializes in Linux, Mac, and other systems. It
is here that you can see some of my RGB hack work in the photos section.

| I.2. My Setup |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
This guide was written using BBEdit Lite 6.1 and a Power Mac Workgroup Server
8550/200 (with a G3 card running at 330 MHz). I view my work in Netscape
4.7.9, Netscape 7, and Internet Explorer 5.1.5 to help in seeing how it would
look on the web and correcting format errors.
I also played TCoR: EFBB on my Commodore 1084S RGB monitor using a homebrew
RGB box that contains a EL1883 sync separation chip which is MacroVision
compatible. This allows me to watch my movies in RGB Analog, like "The
Matrix", without the MacroVision copy protection signal getting in the way.
My box also contains a Sony CXA-1145 RGB chip (plus surrounding motherboard
cut from a Sega Genesis - crude but effective) for amplification. I ran my
Mac alongside the Xbox using a MultiSync 3D monitor. This way I can
simultaneously play and make changes to the guide at the same time.
When I want to watch my movies in RGB Analog, I use the Commodore 1084S
monitor. This is because of composite-sync-on-green problems between the PS2
and the MultiSync 3D. The reasons are long and technical so I won't bore you
with the details.
But watching movies in pristine RGB Analog is great. "The Lord of the Rings:
The Two Towers" (Extended Version) looks fantastic in RGB. So does my
Godzilla movies, "Red vs. Blue", "The Matrix", etc.....
The sound is hooked up to an old stereo box I got from Radio Shack when I
acquired my first Amiga 500 about 13 years ago and it has served me well
despite it's age.
I have completed the game multiple times to get information for this guide.

Welcome to my "The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay" guide!
This is also the first non-GTA related guide or FAQ I have done to date. In
this guide you will find a lot of useful information in a highly organized
format that you can use to get the most out of the game.
This is the sixth revision (Version 2.3) of the Riddick guide using
suggestions from other readers. For this revision I've done a little tweaking
which includes some new ideas and spelling corrections.
Quotes taken from readers' e-mail are presented "as is" and may include
spelling and grammatical errors.
When I first started doing guides and FAQs, I did not know how well it would
go over and how many people would respond. I wasn't exactly swamped with
e-mail but I do get letters from time to time. Sometimes people would ask for
advice and others would say how cool the guide is. All it takes is for one
person to say how good and useful your guide is to make it all worthwhile.
I want to thank GameFAQs for creating a place where such documents can be
hosted for the benefit of all gamers. I also want to thank IGN.com,
NeoSeeker.com, TheVGNation.com, GameHelper.com, and many other sites for
their generosity in hosting this guide along with my other work on their
sites.
Finally, I want to thank everybody who has taken the time to download and
read this guide (as well as my other documents).
With that said, let's get down to business shall we?.....

\=========================================================================/
The main emphasis of this guide is to provide a straightforward way to
complete the game as well as acquire all of the unlockable bonuses. This
means activating most of the Side-Missions available within the game and
collecting all of the Cigarette Packs.
A general listing of guards can be found at the beginning of each of the
three sections (Single Max, Double Max, and Triple Max) of the main portion
of the guide.
Although the game has three difficulty settings, this guide was written based
on the NORMAL (default) setting. Most users will play the game on this
setting and probably won't touch the other two difficulty levels.
Starbreeze Studios, the makers of this game, stated that there are no cheat
codes for this game.
However, a gentleman by the name of strikt911 was poking around with the
EnviromentXBOX.cfg file within the Riddick disc and was posting his finds on
the GameFAQs TCoR: EFBB message boards. Within he found this interesting
"code".....
white , black , dpad right , dpad left , dpad down , dpad up, Y , X , B , A
He says that he can't get this to work anywhere but who knows what you, the
reader, may find.....

Let's face it, most games based on licensed properties tend to really stink.
"E.T." (Atari 2600), "Superman (N64)", just about any Batman game,
"Catwoman", and plenty of others helped make it that way.
Of course, there are a few licensed based titles that are very good like
"Star Wars" (Atari - Arcade (the original one that came out in 1982)),
"Krull" (Arcade), "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" (Arcade), "Firefox"
(Arcade), "Red Storm Rising" (Commodore 64), "The Three Stooges" (Commodore
Amiga), and, of course, "GoldenEye" (N64).
When I heard that they were going to make a game based on the movie "The
Chronicles of Riddick" I thought "Just another licensed game". But when I
first saw some of the screen shots of the game, I was intrigued. When I
finally picked up the Xbox Official Magazine (#32) with the demo of Riddick
on it, I became very impressed.
It was one of the best looking games I have ever seen on a console. It also
has good controls and a cool menu system (the cube). I got the full copy the
first day it came out and it was worth the full price I paid for it.
The game has a brilliant dark atmosphere. The voice acting is the best I have
heard in a long time with lots of quotable lines and a good ending. This game
makes you feel like you are actually inside a futuristic prison. That kind of
immersion is very difficult to pull off.
However, it is not a perfect game. The game is a bit short and a bit easy.
But that means that those who have never played an FPS can cut their teeth on
this one.
Despite whatever flaws it may have, "The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From
Butcher Bay" definitely belongs on the list of best licensed based games to
date. I can only imagine what the sequel may look like.....

| I.6. About the PC Version |
0===========================================================================0
\=========================================================================/
As of this revision the PC version of "The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From
Butcher Bay" has been released (it is also called the "Director's Cut"). It
also has some new material which was pointed out to me by JemyM:
"I do not know if you are interested, but there's additional content in
the PC version of Chronicles of Riddick."
"In your FAQ it takes place between:"
II.29. Power Central (Part Two)
III.30. Feed Ward (Part Four)
"Instead of coming out in the Feed Ward when you go through the hatch
you will come out in a small area where you can go into a Riot Armor.
The upcoming maps are then a blast-fest in which you stomp through
guards and some other kind of riotguards (that doesnt look like the
normal ones) in an almost invincible killing machine. You also
encounter some kind of robots that are just two legs and a large cannon
on top of it."
"In the first area, if you get out of the riot armor and enter a door
that say "Briefing Room" and beside it "Computer Room" you find Pack of
Cigarettes #60 "Flare" "May Cause a Burning Sensation" that unlocks
some extra content, like an image of the team behind the game and a DVD
Trailer."
I don't have a PC (I own a Macintosh) and have no plans to get a PC just to
play this game. However, outside of this new material, this guide will work
for the PC version as well as it does for the Xbox version.
