Hint: Starting tips:
After the "accident", you will discover a
scientist giving CPR to a security guard. Wait 15 to 20 seconds
to see the outcome, which usually results in the security guard
being revived. He is not useful at this time, but return to him
after getting the crowbar. Kill him with the crowbar so he can
not fire back to get his gun and ammunition.
Soon after this, you will ride an elevator upward. Have the gun
ready. Shoot the monster attacking the security guard; a couple
of shots should do it. This security guard can cover you until
you reach the main entrance area.
One important tactic in the early game is to use your "allies"
to your advantage. When you no longer require the services of
a security guard, kill him and take his ammunition. A scientist
is also useful in drawing enemy attack. Be careful not to harm
an ally when another security guard is present, as he will attack
you. Also be aware that monsters can sense your allies; and even
if you crawl, monsters can hear your allies' walk.
The beginning of the game also has the following glitch. There
is a scientist sitting in front of a damaged instrument panel,
in the area of the first scientist who opened a door for you.
This scientist is invincible. You can shoot or beat him with a
crowbar, and all he will do is whine. This also saturates the
area with a large amount of blood.
Hint: Extra health:
Buy a soda from the random soda machines. If you are
impatient, shoot the soda machine.

Hint: Defeating Gargantuas:
Gargantuas are also invincible. Anything you fire at
them apart from explosives just bounces off them, and only makes
them angry. Just dodge them and use your mind to defeat them.
Sometimes you do not need to kill one in the Interloper level.
Dbgarrott.
Hint: Defeating Gonarch:
The Long Jump module can be used for more than moving
between floating platforms. You can get extra height when you
jump into a wall or other object. When you first get dumped in
Gonarch's lair, to your right you may see white "plants"
coming out of the ground. You can use these as stepping stones
to get up on the raised area in the middle. This may not easy,
but if you get up there Gonarch will have trouble hitting you
with any attacks. It is best to use weapons like the crossbow
for this part. You can also use the long jump technique to get
to other places you are not supposed to, and it is useful for
getting past annoying opponents quickly.
Solidus Snake.
Hint: Defeating Tentacle Aliens:
Tentacle Aliens are very difficult to deal with. They
only attack by hearing. If you fire something loud, the tentacles
will find and kill you in two hits. Use grenades to distract them
in the blast pit. Another method is sound and movement skills.
If you do this, the tentacles will not find you as easily when
you are in their respective areas.
Hint: Office Complex mission: Water room:
There is a room full of water. You must deactivate
a switch that gives energy to the room because the water is full
of electricity. When you deactivate it the electricity will disappear.
Frank.
Hint: Saving ammunition:
Do not waste precious pistol ammo on headcrabs. Use
your crowbar, as it is more useful.
Sometimes the best course of action is to not defeat enemies.
You cannot always attack them with a crowbar, but it is best not
to waste a few weapons you have just collected. You might need
that ammunition later. This is true when you are dealing with
Gargantuas and Tentacle Monster. Both of those aliens are invincible
to bullets. When you get captured by the enemy soldiers in the
Apprehension level mission 8, do not waste your ammunition.
Dbgarrott.
Hint: Unbreakable windows:
There are some windows that you cannot break with guns.
However, you can break them with your crowbar.
Frank.
Hint: Using the pistol:
Use the following trick to save ammo for all guns other
than pistol. Most creatures or persons can be killed with five
or less direct shots of the pistol.
Crabs: 2 shots or 1 crowbar hit
Zombies: 4 shots
Electric Aliens: 3 shots
Trip Bomb: 1 shot
Machinegun on stand: 5 shots
Soldiers: 5 shots
Dogs: 3 shots
Spitters: 4 shots
Hint: Using guards:
If you have a guard, get him close enough and he will
take care of almost anything for you. The only time you ever need
to fire is if the creature is close to the guard.
Hint: Scoreboard:
Press Triangle in a Decay Game to display a
scoreboard for both your characters. It will tell you how much
damage you took, the amount of kills you earned, how many times
your characters died in the missions, and your player's name.
Dbgarrott.
Hint: Re-center aim:
Tap R3 and the screen will become centered again.
Brian.
Hint: Barney gets cut in half:
When you enter the room where the lasers are shooting
out the walls, run through. There should be a Barney (security
officer) on the floor. Watch carefully and you can see the laser
go across and literally cut him in half.
Glitch: Floating doctor in wheelchair:
Note: This trick requires a second player. When playing
a Decay game with another player, get to the Rift level. When
the handicapped doctor tells you to follow him and opens the door,
do as he says. He will get in the elevator. Block his path so
he cannot get in the elevator, but the door is open. Next, back
up slightly and let him enter. Get behind him and run forwards
while the other player pushes you from behind. The doctor should
start to go down, and the door has closed on you, but it is still
open. Jump frequently and press Forward quickly. If you
jump onto the safety bar where the top of the other door is, he
will get to the bottom of the elevator. If you stand on the bar,
and he gets to the bottom, then he will launch back up and will
float in the air. You cannot kill him with a regular gun from
below. You must shoot him with the bazooka or from above to kill
him.

Glitch: Man in blue:
Enable the "Alien mode" code and start a
new game. Go through the hall past the main security room and
go straight instead of right. A short way down that hall is the
man wearing the blue suit. Use your electric attack to break the
window and jump in. If you try to attack the man with the blue
suit, it will not work.
Peanuts363.
Glitch: Dead guard talks:
After the experiment goes awry, go get the crowbar
and come back to the place where the scientist is performing CPR
on the dead guard. If you smack the guard with your crowbar, he
will talk.
Peanuts363.
Approach a guard or scientist that tells you information about
something. Use a gun that will kill them in one shot, such as
the caliber pistol or the crossbow. Shoot them just as you approach
them, immediately before they start talking. If done correctly,
the guard or scientist will fall to the ground dead, but will
still tell you what they originally intended to say.
Chris Whitney.
Glitch: Look through dead scientist's eyes:
When you walk around, you will at some point encounter
dead scientists, sitting with their back towards a wall. Crouch
and then crawl toward the dead scientist. You will glide through
him. Continue to walk until you reach the wall, then turn around.
You can now see the way the developers have made the skins for
eyes and mouth and everything else. You can actually look through
the scientist eyes.!

Glitch: Partial invincibility:
When in decay mode and are playing both people, the
second person is not invincible, even if you enable the "Invincibility"
code.
SteffieB14.
Glitch: Sniper target:
Get to the part in the Surface Tension level where
you are outside the building with all of the tripbombs and missiles
overhead. Kill the aliens dropped by the alien ship. Then, continue
to the right and go through the "alley", then go left
to see a man on the ground. Note: Do not kill any snipers. Continue
straight and over the barbed wire to the left. Go up the fallen
tower and jump over both vent shafts. To the left, you can see
a broken building with a flat surface , Jump to it. On your right
will be a broken wall. Jump and climb up it. Go to the right until
you see a small crack on the roof that you are standing on. Go
down it carefully. Turn on your flashlight and look to your right.
You should see the sniper as a target with a gun.
MAKCHAMP333.
Glitch: Extra lasers:
In the Surface Tension level, when you get to the storm
drain hatch switch go to the tent to your right. Send one or two
grenades behind the green boxes to blow up the Laser Trip Mines.
Then, go back there and you should see a laser with no trip mine
on it.
