you'll be in another hall with side rooms blocked by wooden gates. You can
get a Strike upgrade from one of those rooms, so blast those gates!
Finally, you get a mini-boss fight against Jean Grey. Remember her? She was
one of the most powerful characters in X-Men Legends (I & II).
Yeah. Her.
You're going to take some damage. Jean's got her full arsenal of nasty
psychic attacks, especially a radial blast that will fling your entire team
away. Ranged melee attacks (like Cap's Shield or Thor's Hammer) work pretty
well. Energy attacks are less effective. After Jean runs away, you'll finally
get the answers to your questions.
The big clown arms with hammers kind of gave that away. But...anyway...Head
through the door to enter the Big Top. By the way, you can't re-enter the
fake Castle Doom. Not ever, so make sure you collect everything before
leaving.
You're on a platform next to some turnstiles. To your left is a Simulator
Disc (Luke Cage) and a sketch book. Go down the stairs and beat up some
clowns. (For some reason that feels very satisfying.) To your left is a
circus wagon; break it open to rescue Senator Kelly. Go around the other way
to enter the tent itself.
And, it's another fight against Jean Grey. Same story as before--it's tough.
Try to avoid the radial attack and hit her with ranged melee attacks. When
you've beaten her, she is sucked into a video game and some clowns show up in
a clown car. Defeat them all and the car's trunk pops open and you can get a
token coin for the arcade. Step over to the arcade game and USE it.
Now, *this* is way cool. You get to play Pitfall!
You probably don't really need a walkthrough for this. Only the hero who USED
the game actually plays through. All you can do is jump over obstacles or
on/off swinging vines. It's not that hard. (It is, after all, an 8-bit game.)
Along the way you can collect gold nuggets by dropping down to the lower
levels; but, eventually, (eventually means on the 17th screen), you'll reach
the little mini-carousel that signals the end of the game. USE it to exit the
game and return Jean to her normal self. You can now leave the tent. Find the
door to the Boardwalk (it's not marked on your map) and return there to get a
newly reveal SAP. Yay!
Re-enter the tent and find the door marked Pinball. Now you get to play
Arcade's special version of this arcade classic. You'll fight your way
through a pinball-machine, bouncing off obstacles (some of which deliver a
shock), beating up clowns, and trying to rack up 1,000,000 points. It's
really pretty simple.
Around the arena are destructible markers with Arcade's face. Each one
knocked down is worth 25,000 points. If you clear all the markers, you'll get
exactly 1,000,000 points. To clear all those markers, you're also going to
have to fight Rhino (use ranged energy attacks) and Shocker (use heavy melee
attacks). Search the area carefully, because you can also get a Strike
upgrade, Body upgrade and sketch book.
When you have 1,000,000 points, the primary flippers will be destroyed and
you can approach them. Pick up the golden ticket (and sing, "I've got a
golden ticket"--or, maybe, "Candyman", your choice) and use the SAP behind
the flippers.
Now go through the newly opened gate and you'll be back on the Boardwalk
outside the Big Top. Go back inside the tent and exit into the area marked
Fairgrounds. Fight your way around the area, taking note of one of those
"test-of-strength" games (hit the lever with a hammer to ring a bell). At the
far end, you can break through a wood wall and pick up a Focus upgrade; as
well as drive a bumpercar. (Not of any real use, but fun.)
Go back to the spot where you saw the ring-the-bell game. Inside the nearby
tent is a hammer. It's laying on the ground and glowing. Step near it and
press USE to pick it up. Now use a fully-charged SMASH ATTACK on the ring-
the-bell game. The gate behind the game will open.
Start clearing out the next area. Be on the lookout for a sketch book tucked
into a little alcove near the gate. You'll also see another ring-the-bell
game. (If you dropped your hammer, a new one will be back in the tent.) Smash
the game to pick up a bunch of loot.
Near the end of the area is a Claw Challenge game. If you look closely,
you'll see Blade slumped in among the teddy bears. Press USE to play the game
and follow the on screen prompts to push the correct series of keys.
Correctly finish the game and you'll grab Blade. He's now unlocked as a
playable character.
Enter the tent at the end of the Fairgrounds. To your right are a bunch of
treasure chests. Some are empty, some have the hammer of doom and one is a
real treasure chest with a bunch of swag. When you're through searching for
loot, enter the Maze-o-Death.
"Maze" is a bit of an overstatement. There's never any choice about which way
to go; and, it's very small. Walk over to a red hand on a spring and Pull the
Finger to open the hedge (as well as open a spike pit and spawn in a couple
of angry clowns). Do this a few more times. Near the final finger is a
Simulator Disc (Elektra).
You'll also see a hammer on the ground near the final finger. Pull the finger
to open the last hedge, SMASH ATTACK the ring-the-bell game and walk through
the gate and play...
Bumpercars!
This is so easy (at least, on Normal difficulty), it will be over almost
before you realize it. Your team jumps into bumpercars. Some clowns jump into
bumpercars and you bump into them. Just drive like a little old lady in a
Caddy* and you'll win easily.
(*No offense to Cadillac.)
Once you win, you get another golden ticket! (Man, Charlie only got one and
you get two. Who said life was fair?)
Walk out the exit to find yourself back on the Boardwalk. Use the nearby SAP
to save your game, then enter the Big Top. USE the ticket booth to open the
door into the Fun House.
First up is your choice of three doors. Only doors 1 and 3 are accessible.
Pick either one first.
DOOR NUMBER ONE
Wind your way through the hall until you enter the Pong room. Yes! You get to
play Breakout!. Walk behind the paddle and grab it (press-and-hold USE) and
move it back and forth to hit the ball. If you miss the ball, let go of the
block and then grab it again to make another ball appear. When all the blocks
have been knocked out, door number 2 opens.
DOOR NUMBER THREE
Go down the hall and step into an outdoor area. There's a Strike upgrade on
the ground in front of you. As you step forward, a wall comes crashing down
and you have to fight off a horde of mad clowns. When you're finished, look
near the poison-spewing flowers on the far wall. There's a Black Panther
action figure near the flowers; you'll have to take some damage to pick it
up. This is BP #5; and, if you've been good about collecting them, you can
now use Black Panther on your team. Then, blast your way through the stone
wall to get back to the main area.
Now that door number 2 is open, step through and pull the finger. Defeat the
clowns in the disco arena; then, go through the next door and pull the
finger. You fall through the floor and arrive in the final arena. This one's
kind of tough. There's a giant robot and he's untouchable as well as highly
dangerous. There are also a lot of little minion clowns running around.
(There's also a Body point on one of the ramps on the outside edges of the
arena. Get it before getting into the main event.)
You'll see four trap doors on the floor. Two are red and two are green. You
need to step on the red ones and fall through. This will send your hero (just
your player-controlled hero, not the entire team) blasting out a cannon. If
you're lucky, you'll land on the Bot's head. If not, just step through the
red trapdoor on the opposite side of the room and repeat the process until
you do land on the Bot's head.
Now you play a little mini-game in which you rapidly tap the key shown on the
screen. Do it correctly (it's not hard) and the Bot will slap itself. Do this
five times and the Bot will destroy itself. You can then use a portal to get
back to base.

Back in the Sanctum Sanctorum, go upstairs to the Sanctuary and talk to
Weasel. He's cracked S.H.I.E.L.D. security and now fears for his own safety.
He doesn't know if he should hide in the Baxter Building or X-Mansion. Go
talk to Hank Pym and Charles Xavier. Return to Weasel and tell him to go
cower under the protection of the mutants at the X-Mansion.
Talk to the various persons in the Sanctum again; then, use the Orb of
Teleportation to go to Mephisto's Realm. You arrive next to a S.H.I.E.L.D.
Access Point. If you go straight right, you'll find a Simulator Disc (Blade).
Clear the central area (for now, stay out of the side areas denoted by
arches). You'll notice a large pentagram with candles at the corners on the
raised, central platform.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, (and, really, you don't have
much choice unless you're giving up MUA for NWN2; but, then, why are you
reading this?) is to light the candles by visiting the five side areas and
solving the puzzles.
So, without further ado...Beginning at the SAP and going clockwise around the
area, you have:
"Thy way shall be lit by the flames of impure souls."
This area is infested with constantly respawning Leapers. These nasty pests
