Introduction
############################################
I have been playing Omikron for a long time now (at least 5 years) and I have
beaten it countless times. I know the game at the back of my head (nearly) and
I have decided to put it to use. I have looked all over the net for an faq but
most of them look like they got a monkey on a typewriter to do it so now I'm
going to put one up.
This game's getting a little old and is really hard to find (ebay would be the
best place to find it if you ask me). Although it isn't too popular and is as
old as the hills, I enjoy it along with much others.
I wrote this faq because I was bored and the net really needs one. Remember to
e-mail me questions or post them on the message boards on gamefaqs and I may
very well answer.

============================================
Sneak
============================================
The sneak is practically your inventory. It holds your personal ID and
attributes, slider location, map, seteks (money), rings, items, important
memories and settings.
The ID shows a rotating picture of yourself and information such as age,
occupation, DOB etc. Attributes are your main stats. It shows your
HP/health/energy, mana, fighting experience, attack, dodge, body
resistance/defense and speed/agility. These can be changed with potions
and various other items.
Slider locations are the most difficult to understand. Sliders are vehicles and
you can call them like taxis. To call one go to call slider. You'll see it come
and then you can pick manual or automatic. Manual lets you drive it by
yourself (hard as hell) but automatic lets you choose a bunch of locations that
you need to go to or have already visited. When the slider stops you must get
in with the action button.
Map, seteks, rings and items are on the default screen. On the right is a list
of up to 18 items that you have picked up during your adventures. Seteks are
the currency used in Omikron. They're white and black triangle things and are
found
quite commonly. You can spend them at any shop or even give it to the poor if
they ask. Rings will allow you to save and give you advice. I won't reveal too
much about them as it's apart of the storyline. The map is quite useful and
shows a detailed road and path map and also has where you are and other
locations. There is a map for each district and only shows them as you enter
them.
Important memories will tell you stuff that someone has told you before. These
normally tell what you must do and/or a little bit of help. You can get advise
about these from save points by using (a lot of rings).
The settings is exactly what it means. You can adjust the sounds, visuals,
speed and other stuff but the default should be fine.
============================================
Fighting
============================================
Fighting is hand to hand combat with a human or monster. You can only get into
fights if you are attacked. On the screen you'll see your HP on the left (blue)
and the opponents (red). To win you must reduce the enemies HP. You can use the
normal attacks or you can learn new ones from books found in stores or
throughout the game. The damage you inflict is determined by your attack stat.
Dodge is how fast you can evade enemies attacks. Body resistance is how much
damage can be reduced from the enemies attacks. Speed is how fast you move
altogether. Fight experience is a general description of your fighting skill.
All of this (except HP and body resistance) can be improved by practice.
============================================
Shooting
============================================
Shooting once again involves your HP (on the left again). You can also use a
variety of guns you have found throughout the game. All guns require ammo
except the waver gun and the power rod. If you have a medikit in your inventory
as you are shooting. If your HP gets low, you automatically use that medikit.
If you pick up a medikit during shooting, it automatically is added to your HP.
You can open doors and pick up most items while in shooting mode. You can
practice shooting at armories/gun shops.
============================================
Saving
============================================
To save you must find three floating interlinking rings. Use the action button
and you'll be able to save. Every time you save it consumes one ring. If you
have no rings you cannot save but that happens rarely.
============================================
Other
============================================
To use an elevator, walk in until you turn around and press the action button.
If you need a key, find the control panel and use it on it.
The use command in the inventory allows you to use a key, give an item, eat
food, drink drinks etc. The examine lets you look or read items, books, notes,
maps, parchments etc. The use on allows you to put items together. This is used
rarely (mostly for spells).
After you run a long way, you will stop and puff for air. Before you stop,
press the action button to not puff for air.
