Extra Items and Other Tips

I've beaten the game several times. You get very funny extras in original mode. All HotD2 professional players read the points at the end of this long text.

1. playing as a grandma (you can also play as Goldman, Amy, Harry and others)
2. getting a ufo-icon. An ufo appears in the sky and you can try to shoot it
3. Shooting green fishing lures instead of bullets (get bass? Total strange)
4. You get new guns like Machine Gun, a Shotgun and a Paintball gun.

Note that these items are deleted when you use them. However, you can keep them forever by removing your VMS card before you use the item you wish to keep.

The special items don't appear always on the same spots. There are just some spots that give you very special items every time you shoot them. First of all, use a 1.5 or 2.0 ammo in original mode (these are not too hard to find in normal boxes), only with these bullets you get all those extras. Only the 1.5 and 2.0 ammo is able to open secret doors. Here are 4 Spots where you get extras:

1. In Level 2 a car drives to you with a zombie on it. shoot the zombie down. The camera turns arround, on the right side is a parking, blue car. Shoot the back door of the car and it opens, after the guy says thank you, the camera moves to the right and shows into the blue car where a extra is waiting for you to be shot.
2. After that you go up stair and shoot a group of zombies, then you turn to the left and a knife throwing zombie jumps from the rooftops. Kill him. After that you move some steps forward. Now hurry and shoot the door at the end of the hallway. It will open if you have 1.5 or 2.0 Ammo. Kill the 2 jumping zombies that now will block your way and a man will come out of the open door and give you something special (very often he gave me 2.0 ammo).
3. In Level 3 is a scene where a green zombie attacks a man on a motorboat. Kill the zombie without killing the man, in the background on the right you see a box, shoot it to open it, it contains a 1-life extra. In the second you shot the 1-life extra a special extra appears on the boat. Shot it, camera will move away quickly!
4. In Level 5, after you killed this waterboss with the open heart your car will continue driving over the bridge toward 2 cars and a group of zombies. You can shoot the backdoor of the left car and open it that way. Now kill the zombies between the cars and the 2 zombies with critters in their chest that come out of the right car. After that the camera turns toward the left open car and you can shoot a special extra.

There are more spots like that, but that should help you to get the point how to get those extras. Oh, all those extras are then only available in the NEXT game you start in Original mode. Some extras can only used a single time, others seem to be saved and useable forever. I have not found anything that tells you what differs the one from the others.

If you play the game with the DreamCast joystick, then just put one finger on the A button and another finger on the B butte and press them together (instead of pressing A several times and then B to reload). You'll fire much quicker, it's like having a minigun.

To Accesse the free play in the opions menu beat the Boss mode with all stars. Free play will be avalible in the continue settings. Note: this is for the U.S. version of The House of the Dead 2

To get the Goldman costume in Original mode, simply beat Original mode the whole way through. When you start a new Original mode game, the Goldman costume should appear in your trunk.

In original mode, take 2.0 Bullets and the double score items with you to play the game. Rescue all the hostages except for the second one in level 4, and play through the game. If you make it all the way up to the end, You should come across a secret room kinda like the one you find if you beat the game while rescuing all hostages. Inside, you'll find the Rogan costume and an infinite credits token. PLUS, if you're good enough to beat the game, you get a special ending where Rogan comes out just before you exit the building.

In Boss Mode, beat all the options (including the Emporer and Fight All) five times so that the stars turn red. You will now be able to select Death Bullets every time you start Original Mode.

To get the napalm gun, get a perfect head shot on the first three zombies in Stage One. If you're successfull their heads will fly off and a new gun will appear on the ground. Shoot it and the napalm is yours.

When you go to shoot a zombie prees the reload button and the fire button at the same time.

Finish the training mode with 5 red star difficulty on each training stage for a nice reward.

To play as Gary in the 1 player mode instead of putting the controller into the player 1 slot put the controller into the 2nd controller socket and you can play as Gary instead of James!

To get the red blood option in House of the Dead 2 you need to beat the game in the original mode. Then after you beat it go back to the options menu. Now there should be the option for blood color.

For unlimited continues in Original Mode, successfully complete training and boss modes.

To unlock "Emperor" and "Fight All Bosses" options, complete boss mode and obtain a ranking for all bosses.
