Password Creation System
This document explains how to generate a Nightmare Creatures password to your
specifications. The NC password system keeps track of five different things using eight
symbols (Triangle, O, X, Square, Up arrow, Down arrow, Left arrow, and Right arrow).
Using these symbols variously in the eight different password-screen slots gives a huge number
of possible passwords, almost all of which are illegal.
First you need to decide on the following (it might be good to write these down): Which
character you want to play (Ignatius or Nadia), what level you want to start on (1-21), what
difficulty level you want to play on (easy or hard), how many lives you want to have (1-31),
and what weapon you want to use (1-4).
Next, you will have to do a few simple math problems (groan). Most of these problems will
ask you to do some simple operations (all the division is in remainder form), then just take the
answer from each of the problems and run it through our handy little password decoder ring
below:
0=Triangle 1=O 2=X 3=Square 4=Up 5=Down 6=Left 7=Right
This will convert your useless string of eight numbers into a useful string of eight symbols.
Neat, huh?
Slot 1: (No math here) Ignatius Nadia
Levels 1-8 Triangle Up
Levels 9-16 O Down
Levels 17-21 X Left
Slot 2: (Level#-1)/8 Enter the remainder
Slot 3: #Lives/4 Drop the remainder
Slot 4: #Lives/4 Multiply the remainder by 2.
Add 1 if your weapon is 3 or 4.
Slot 5: (No math here) Weapon# 1,3 Weapon# 2,4
Easy difficulty Triangle O
Hard difficulty Up Down
Slot 6: (#Lives+Level#-2)/7 Enter the remainder
Slot 7: (Level#+Weapon#-1)/7 Enter the remainder
Slot 8: (#Lives+Weapon#-1)/7 Enter the remainder
Now I know that makes sense to me, but here is an example for the rest of you.
To start a game as Nadia, on level 13, with 21 lives, on easy difficulty, and using the level 3
weapon:
Slot 1: The symbol for Nadia on level 13 is Down-arrow. That was easy...
Slot 2: 13-1 is 12, divided by eight is 1 remainder 4. Putting the remainder
through the nifty decoder ring, I get Up-arrow.
Slot 3: 21/4 is 5 remainder 1. I drop the remainder and put 5 through the
system. Presto! I get Down-arrow.
Slot 4: 21/4 is still 5 remainder 1. This time I take the remainder and double it
for a grand total of 2. Except now I have to add 1 because we are using
weapon# 3. As the chart says, 3=Square.
Slot 5: Another simple one. Easy difficulty with weapon# 3 is Triangle.
Slot 6: 21+13-2 equals 32. Dividing by 7 gets me 4 remainder 4. Intuition tells
me that 4=Up-arrow.
Slot 7: 13+3-1 equals 15. Again dividing by that magic number 7, I come up
with 2 remainder 1. The not-so-magic number 1 equals O.
Slot 8: 21+3-1 equals 23. 23/7 equals 3 remainder 2. 2=X.
Thus the code for the aforementioned game is (Drum roll please): Down, Up, Down, Square,
Triangle, Up, O, X. Putting this code in to my game I see that It does in fact work. Nadia is
going to kick some ass in the London Zoo.

Snake Boss
When you enter the room with the fire breathing snake you will see five columns around the
snake pool. Slash those colums with your sword or staff and knock them onto the snake. For
best results, use L1 or R1 to move to the next column, then hack away. If you're quick enough
the snake won't get a chance to breathe fire.
After all of the columns fall, the fire will stop and the snake will start biting at you. Dodge him
when he strikes by pressing L1 or R1. When he starts to swing around the pool strike him in
the head. Do this four or five times and he's dead!
