SAFETY INFORMATION

About Photosensitive Seizures

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed
to certain visual images, including flashing light patterns that may appear
in video games. Even people who have no history of seizure or epilepsy may
have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive
epileptic seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness,
altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs,
disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may
also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from
falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above
symptoms–children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience
these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting
farther from the monitor, using a smaller monitor, playing in a well-lit room,
and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult
a doctor before playing.

INTRODUCTION

MYTHICAL BEINGS
Legions of alien cultures revere
Humans as mythical beings. To them,
the Human is a glorious treasure whose
very existence was in doubt until now.
Fables of legendary human powers have
echoed through the universe for eons.
But there is also a civilization that
craves nothing less than the total
extermination of Mankind.
Before today, the Humans knew nothing
of this.
A small entourage of Humans is
experiencing the uneasy excitement of
first contact with an alien culture.
Captain Gideon Wyeth has the honor of
joining those on a mission to greet the
Aurelians, a civilization far more
evolved than his own.
Gideon is about to learn that Humanity
stands both in the shadow of obliteration,
and at the dawn of transcendence. He will
also discover those legendary human
powers flowing from his own hands.
The Advent of Humanity begins.

HEADS UP DISPLAY
The Heads-Up-Display (HUD) shows data for weapons, power,
and health.
Note: You can set the HUD to display all the time or display and fade by
setting this option in “Game Options.” When under attack, a red pointer
shows the direction of an off-screen attacker.

LEFT-HANDED AND
RIGHT-HANDED WEAPONS
Once you have equipped a weapon/power in the Left or Right
hand, data about it appears here.

HEALTH METER
This green meter drains and turns red as Gideon takes combat
injuries. When Gideon’s condition turns critical, an alarm will
sound indicating that additional hits could be fatal. At first,
Gideon must find Nano Med stations for first aid, but once he
gains mastery over his health, Gideon can regain full health
without using Nano Med stations. The health meter will
recharge as long as he avoids injury for a brief time.

POWER METER AND

POWER NUMBER
This meter and number appear whenever Gideon has a power
equipped. The meter level and power number diminish as
Gideon expends power. Once empty, Gideon cannot use his
powers again until the meter recharges enough to use a given 9
power. This will vary by power.
AR_PC_MG_UKv2.qxd 10/1/06 3:52 pm Page 10

r key to manually reload at any time during gameplay.

MASTERY LEVEL
This number shows the mastery level attained for the weapon/power
equipped in the right or left hand. Use of weapon and power skills result in
increased mastery level ratings. When the mastery level for any skill rises, an
alert appears on-screen and this number increases. Increased mastery levels
intensify the damage of attacks and enable alternate modes for both
weapons and powers. Gideon becomes more agile and his melee attacks turn
lethal when jump and melee mastery increases. To view the effects of a
mastery level for each weapon or power, select WEAPONS or POWERS from
the Pause Menu.

OBJECTIVES
New objectives may appear on-screen
as required or you will hear about new
objectives during conversations with

AR_PC_MG_UKv2.qxd 10/1/06 3:52 pm Page 12

FLICK-TARGETING –
THE KEY TO GIDEON’S POWER
With Flick-Targeting, Gideon
swiftly locks on targets by using
the mouse wheel. Roll the
mouse wheel up to target enemies
on your left or down to target
enemies on your right. Then deliver
a highly accurate weapon or power
attack. Whenever an enemy or
object is within range, you can use
the Flick-Targeting system. A
targeted enemy displays a bracket
that remains locked on until you
flick to another target. To break your target lock, press mouse 3 or click
the mouse wheel.
With Flick-Targeting, you can:
• Lock onto an enemy and attack instantly with the weapon or power
equipped in either hand.
• Quickly flick from one target to the next when confronting multiple
objects or enemies.

THE TARGETING BRACKET COLORS

• Targeting brackets show enemy health and resistance to attack.
Green – The enemy is strong
Orange – Weakened but still very dangerous
Red – Severely injured and ready to fall
• Blue brackets appear around inanimate objects that are moveable.

12
AR_PC_MG_UKv2.qxd 10/1/06 3:53 pm Page 13

FIRST-PERSON BATTLE
To toggle in and out of First-Person
Mode, press the t key.
Flick-Targeting is not available in
First-Person Mode, but a reticle
appears in the center of the battle
screen to aid in weapon aiming.
• When aimed at an enemy, the
reticle turns red but turns
green whenever it is placed
over a friendly.
• First-person mode is ideal when
enemies are out of Flick-Targeting range.
Note: You must return to Third Person Mode to use the Lift Power.

INVENTORY: ARMING
WEAPONS AND POWERS
Open the Inventory
( 3 key ) to view and
choose the available
weapons or powers you
want Gideon to hold in his
left and right hands.
• Scroll the mouse wheel or
use the arrow keys to
select different weapons
and powers.
Press left mouse or
right mouse to select
the weapon or power for
the left/right hand.

ALTERNATE ATTACK MODES

Once Gideon has obtained a Mastery Level of 3, he can use
alternate modes for weapons and powers: Press the 1key to
alternate your left hand and the 2 key to alternate your right
hand. Press the x key to toggle grenade types. The Icon for
the equipped weapon or power will turn black to indicate that
you are using an alternate mode.

13
AR_PC_MG_UKv2.qxd 10/1/06 3:53 pm Page 14

USING WEAPONS
Gideon can use any weapons that have been dropped by others or grab them
from gun cabinets.
• Decide which hand you want to hold the weapon in by pressing the q or
e key to equip it when you see the on-screen prompt.
• Gideon will drop the weapon he holds when picking up another weapon.
• Fire weapons with or without the aid of Flick-Targeting, but a weapon
will stay locked on a flick-targeted enemy for increased accuracy.
• When you run out of ammo, reload is automatic as long as extra ammo is
available. Press the r key to reload manually.
To pick up ammo for a weapon, you must have the weapon in inventory.
Walk over a weapon you already have in inventory to take its ammo or walk
up to a gun cabinet. This is a good reason to check out any weapons you
see lying around during battle.
Note: Pause the game and select WEAPONS to view additional details on all side arms.

FAUST C-41
Standard military issue .90 caliber concussion pistol
with armor-piercing rounds.

ROCKWELL YOUNG XJ9

Assault rifle with ceramic piston release shaft and
sub-mounted grenade launcher.

TALMAGE 50.08
Delivers 3 MoliPack self-propelled rockets which can be
fired along a straight vector or alternately guided along a
sonic pathway.

H.A.Z.E. BLASTER
A prototype fusion weapon that fires a plasma-coated
kernel of radioactive matter which can fuse explosively
upon contact or be wrapped in an entropic field for a
delayed explosion.
G’KOL ACOLYTE
Standard issue Seeker pulse-rifle. Delivers a barrage of
superheated particles kinetically bonded to an unstable
silicon projectile. These projectiles can be loaded with a
simple quark mind-drive to track enemy life signs and
explode on contact.

14
AR_PC_MG_UKv2.qxd 10/1/06 3:53 pm Page 15

KAULL FIRELANCE
Charge-stripped ions literally tear through
spacetime, gathering entropic energy weaves
before impacting on their target. The ions can
be layered back upon themselves to build a
massive rip in local space and unleash
unpredictably multi-directional forces.

DARKFIRE
The grav-shielded singularity core embedded in each
clip generates muon fragments of dark-matter and
then accelerates them along a threaded high gravity
bore. The entire core can be unshielded and
released as a short-range explosive.

D’NEX TALON
Fires a sphere of volatile colloid transmetals
which unravel explosively upon contact or can
be spun into an inertial sponge, releasing the
gathered ricochet energy upon contact with
organic tissue.

SHADOWSTALKER
Polarized supermolecules are fired along
null conductor channels at sub light speeds,
causing micro fission blasts upon contact.
Comes equipped with a poly-rez genscope able
to accurately analyze distance, atmospheric
interference, and DNA maps of the target.

DISCORD
Resonant inertial friction modulator causes
quantum level vibrations in the molecules,
electrons, even light-waves in a limited area.
Can generate immense heat for short periods of
time, even in a defensive (although moderately
damaging) radius around the weapon.

GNASHBONE FURY
A multi-tiered intelligent projectile platform
capable of guiding multiple implosion rockets
towards several targets simultaneously.

GRENADES
Press the g key to throw a grenade. Flick targeting an enemy
before the throw guarantees an accurate grenade attack, but be
prepared for swift enemies to leap clear of the explosion. Pick up
grenades dropped by the enemy or Gideon’s own allied marines. 15
AR_PC_MG_UKv2.qxd 10/1/06 3:53 pm Page 16

USING POWERS
Gideon can unleash superhuman powers to destroy his enemies. Equip and
use powers in the same way you would use weapons.
• Power use depletes energy so keep an eye on the power meter. You lose
use of the power when the meter runs out but exhausted powers
replenish themselves over time.
• For more details on each power, select POWERS from the Pause Menu
once POWER appears as an option.

LIFT
Redirect energy to levitate and control
enemies or move objects. Flick-target an
enemy or object. Once locked, press and
hold the mouse button equipped with Lift.
Use the mouse to move the enemy (or
object) where you want it and release the
button to drop it.
• While an enemy is lifted, you can
attack with the weapon or power held in Gideon’s other hand.
• Perfect the ability to throw enemies and objects.
• Alternate mode enables Gideon to lift more than one enemy at a time

TIME SHIFT
Move through time and space with such force that Gideon bashes into
objects when shifting into the position they occupy. The alternate Time-Shift
mode speeds up Gideon to the point where time and the motion
of all other beings slows to a crawl.

SURGE
Use the Surge power to shift gravitational energy in a focused direction.
Press and hold the mouse button you’ve assigned for the Surge Power to
increase the power before releasing it. Increase mastery and gain the power
to snatch a weapon out of an enemy’s grasp.

16
AR_PC_MG_UKv2.qxd 10/1/06 3:53 pm Page 17

NEGATE
Gideon can create a shield to deflect
attacks and as his mastery level increases,
he can create multiple shields. The
alternate mode generates a defensive
sphere that surrounds and protects Gideon
as he moves.

AEON PULSE
Gideon amplifies his own
electromagnetic field to
unleash a lethal pulse and
ultimately masters the radial
flare for a full 360 degrees
of destruction. Press and
hold the mouse button you
assigned to increase the
pulse output before firing.

SHATTER
Slice into enemies with lethal absolute zero-temperature ice
shards. Master the shatter power to transform your enemy into a
frozen, motionless statue. Once you reach the ultimate mastery
of the Shatter power, the radius of each attack increases to
encompass more enemies.

MELEE COMBAT
Press the f key repeatedly to
deliver a combination of attacks
that grow more deadly as your
mastery level for fighting increases.
Gideon progresses from simple
brawling skills to fierce attack
combinations with fatal blows.
He will also learn to unleash a
powerful downward punch by
charge jumping ( shift +
space bar) and punching to deliver the final blow.

17
AR_PC_MG_UKv2.qxd 10/1/06 3:53 pm Page 18

DRIVING THE SCYTHE

The Scythe is a combat ATV
sporting a turret-mounted chain

THE CHARACTERS
HUMANS
GIDEON WYETH
Coming from a long line of fighting men,
Gideon Wyeth was pressured to attend
Military Academy in his teens.
There he proved himself second to
none in flight combat. His graduation
was accelerated and he was able to
fight in the last year of the
Independence war. His strategic
brilliance helped him to rise quickly
in rank, and he found himself high up
in intelligence circles when the war
ended. Under governmental pay he
now assists the reestablishment of
antebellum prosperity to war-torn areas
of the world.

ETHAN WYETH
Ethan Wyeth is recognized as the
sole reason for the Federation’s
victory over the allied nations. He
is Edumea’s most celebrated hero.
In the years since the war, his popularity has continued to increase
and with extensive product endorsements, books and movie deals he
has turned his fame into a veritable gold mine.

OLIVIA
Olivia, Gideon’s fiancée, is strong willed, ambitious
and uncommonly intelligent. She is driven by the
study of advanced theoretical physics. After
completing her graduate studies early at the age
of 19 she was hired by the Federation as part of
an elite team of renowned physicists to begin
development on a new form of energy in an
attempt to stabilize the devastated lands where
the war was fought. The project has recently
begun a 6-month testing phase on Lurium
where she is currently stationed.

MARIN
Marin Steel is a smart, independent woman who
has an insatiable thirst for adventure. After
becoming one of the most decorated pilots during
the Independence wars, she was hired as an
executive pilot for a leading contractor of the
Federation military. This gives her the opportunity
to fly, test and use cutting edge military 19
technology.
AR_PC_MG_UKv2.qxd 10/1/06 3:54 pm Page 20

AURELIANS
ENORYM
Enorym commands the elite Felidic
Warriors, and is beloved of his troops
and known throughout the Aurelian
Military not only for his bravery and
strength but also for his wisdom
and integrity. Under the wings of
Kelehm this popular hero is fast
becoming a force to be reckoned with in
political circles as well. Enorym’s loyalty
to Kelehm is only rivaled by his devotion
to Aurelia.

KELEHM
Kelehm is a ninth tier Aurelian Garghon, with
enough experience and backing to become the
High Senator when Aurelia is admitted into the
Galactic Senate. Kelehm is the epitome of
nobility, full of wisdom, strength and pride.
He has spent much of his life studying the
mythology of humans, and has secretly
trained himself in human telekinetic arts.

THE SEEKERS
The Seekers see themselves as the zenith
of evolution in the galaxy. Their presumed
superiority fuels an imperialistic nature.
Under the guise of benevolence, the
Seekers “occupy” newly found alien
races for a thousand years ostensibly
to advance them so they are fit to join
the Galactic Senate. However, their
true purpose is to seek out and
destroy humans.
