Parasite Eve 2 Cheat Codes
Kahlil Algya
Cheat codes are a feature in The 3rd Birthday, most of which are unlocked by completing Feats. Three of the cheat codes are "assist codes", which have beneficial effects, while the remainder are "challenge codes" that have negative effects, to make the game more challenging.
If a chapter is played with any cheat codes active, the rank received for that playthrough of the chapter will not be saved. However, any feats completed while cheat codes are active will be saved, and BP is still gained from feats during the chapter playthrough.
This page contains a list of cheats, codes, Easter eggs, tips, and other secrets for Parasite Eve for PlayStation. If you've discovered a cheat you'd like to add to the page, or have a correction, please click EDIT and add it.
On day one after you defeat Eve for the first time and go down into the hole and get the key find the room with the armor in the corner. Inspect it and Aya will say it looks like it is about to crumble go in and get the chest.
If you give 300 pieces of junk to Wayne, he will build you a weapon of mass destruction. Choose the RIFLE. This is by my experience the best weapon in the game. It has an attack of 150+ and a range of 185.
Here's a GREAT tip for beating Original Eve at the top of the Chrysler Building: instead of using the Parasite Energy Liberate, which only does 1000-1200 HP of damage, try using Energy Shot. Yes, it's an old spell, but if your level is high enough (around Level 38-39), you'll do a whopping 3500-5000 HP of damage! This is GREAT for whittling down Original Eve's 45000 HP.
Secret area 1:(DAY 1)The first secret area is in the opera house sewers. Toget there go to the chest then go down-right and you'll be in a place withthree cheasts.Secret area 2:(DAY 5)The second is in China Town. just go to the phone andgo right. Check the pots by the walls to get some items.
This trick is similar to the code for infinite bullets. In Day 3:Selection, after the battle in the NYPD #17th District where Torres will die and Wayne will take over for him. Whenever you leave the precicnt and come back, visit the weapons room and check the chest to the top right. There will always be a Medicine 2 or Medicine 3 waiting for you.
In the NYPD go downstairs and enter the left door. You can find the bullets in the box near the counter get it and go out to the New York map. Now return to that room for more bullets. Repeat as needed.
After you deactivate the alarm in museum, head right (by pressing D-pad Down-Right) and you will find a lift which can only go to 4th floor, and in this floor you will find a secret room with a few box in it.
After you win you'll be asked if you wish to save. Do so, then reinsert CD #1 and choose the EX game. You'll now see the Chrysler Building on the Manhattan map. Go inside and make your way to the top to see the real enemy and ending.
When in the EX game, collect as many Rare Trading cards as possible. If you ask Wayne to show you his collection he'll give you tool kits at certain numbers. So, if you ask Wayne to show you his collection after you have given him 12 or so Rare Trading Cards, he'll give you a tool kit. It acts as an infinite amount of regular tools.
There are two Ultimate guns in Parasite Eve. The first one can be acquired when going through the regular game, while the other is only available in the EX mode. There are a few steps in getting this powerful weapon.
Have you ever wondered why you got so much junk in Parasite Eve Have you also wondered why Wayne always asked you to get rid of junk Well, if you give Wayne more than 300 pieces of junk, he can make AWESOME weapons from them. Just make sure that you TELL him what to make, instead of letting him decide because he screws up sometimes.
On the first level, after you beat Eve on the Opera Stage, go backstage and you will see the hole. If you listen carefully at the hole you will hear sirens. Go back outside the Operahouse and ask the cop on the far right for bullets. He will give you 60 rounds.
When you're at the hospital, just before you go to the 13TH floor, find the room that has the nurse who is looking for more hurt people. Now go to the top of the room to the fallen cabinet, look behind it to find lots of tradng cards. Make sure you have room for them in your inventory.
I would like to take the time today to talk about one of my favorite games of all time, Parasite Eve II. Now I know the original Parasite Eve is generally held in higher regard than its sequel, but you know what I say to that? FUCK THAT SHIT. Parasite Eve II is where it's at, baby. You may be wondering "why the hell is this game one of this clown's favorites?". Well first of all, fuck you for calling me a clown. Second, if you would calm down, I would gladly explain.
It's not that I don't like the original Parasite Eve, because I actually love it, despite never having completed it. It was the first disc-swapping game I had ever played, and I didn't understand the concept of leaving the PlayStation ON to swap discs. So the farthest I got in PE was the end of the first disc because I was too stupid to figure out how to start the second one. I was eight. Give me a break. I've wanted to play the game again for years but just never did anything about it. So I guess that'll never happen. Oh well. It also taught me about mitochondria. Well, kind of. If you asked me tell you exactly what happens in Parasite Eve, all I could say that every other goddamned word is 'mitochondria', people bleed out of every orifice in their body until they are reduced to puddles of orange goo, and that a lot of weird science shit happens. I don't think there's really much more to say about it, to be honest. And they say video games have no educational value. Pfft.
Fast forward three years. I remember reading an issue of PSM that previewed the second game, and suddenly becoming completely ecstatic at the idea of playing another one of those. Being a huge Resident Evil fan, I had no idea of the surprise that was in store for me. That brings me to the major difference between the two PE games, and the reason most fans seem to prefer the first. Parasite Eve II is, for all intents and purposes, a Resident Evil clone. It straight up lifts the tank control scheme that the survival horror genre was known for, and does away with the 2D-plane controls the first game had. It also throws in a real-time battle system and a shitload of ridiculously contrived puzzles. I bought the strategy guide and read through a lot of it before the game came out, but actually finding out what this game was exactly when I had first played it...my head almost exploded.
Okay, calling it a straight 'Resident Evil clone' is a bit harsh, or at least I think so. It still retains a lot of what made the first game unique. There's still plenty of the aforementioned weird science shit, and there are still customizable weapons, armor, powers to upgrade, item shops, stats, and numbers flying off of baddies when you shoot them. I wasn't too into RPGs back when these games came out, and they were kind of my introduction to the genre. I really like RPGs now, or some of them, and having just played PE2 to completion for the first time in probably twelve years (and the first time without cheat codes...I miss you, GameShark), I have a new-found appreciation for it. A more apt moniker would be "Resident Evil: The RPG", because that is exactly what this is.
What stuck with most about the game is the enemy design. The creatures you face in this game are fucking bizarre, almost every last one of them. A variety of humans and animals mutated into disturbing, grotesque monstrosities by their mitochondria...or something. Watch this, what is one my most unforgettable moments in gaming. These are some of my favorite enemy designs of all time. For as many pages as it takes from the survival horror genre, I would not call PE2 scary at all, but it gets by with its supremely unsettling monsters. There're weird horse-camel-dogs with human faces, ugly babies, and sometimes just giant baby heads that roll around towards you, torsos with grinning faces and one limb that they use to fling themselves at you...it's all batshit insane. Oh, and there are bats, too.
And then there are the bosses. OH MY GOD, THE BOSSES. There are more than a few in the game, and some of them are absolutely massive and intimidating as hell. The boss designs, as well as the fights themselves, are some of the best parts of the game. In particualr, the "Burner" boss, or "Cannon Mouth" as he is apparently sometimes called. This is one of my favorite boss fights ever. Even his intro is fantastic. Before he arrives, the player is treated to what the game is perhaps most known for:
The Glutton is another great boss fight. While not as big as the Burner, he's still quite large, and also makes a horrifying sound that will haunt your dreams and likely make you shit your pants in your sleep. Though if you kill him the "right" way, you are awarded with what I think is an unintentionally very hilarious death sequence for the poor guy. It lessens his scariness a bit.
The combat in the game is simple, but fun and can be rewarding if you have the right equipment. It initially appears simpler than that of Resident Evil's combat, since you auto-lock on to every enemy. As the game goes on, it becomes apparent that each enemy has its own strengths and weaknesses, and each combat scenario revolves around using the correct weapons and Parasite powers to manage the enemies effectively. After each fight, a screen pops up with your EXP and money gained. I'm a sucker for numbers, so this is probably why I like the combat so much. There is no dodge button, though. There are a lot of parts where I really, REALLY wish there was a dodge function of some sort. Some of your foes are fast as shit, and have attacks that are nearly unavoidable with the admittedly clumsy tank controls. Anyone trying to play this today with little to no prior experience with this control scheme is going to have a rough time. Overall, I don't think the game was as hard as I remembered or thought it would be going in, but like I said, I almost always used cheats when playing games like this back then. The last section of can get downright brutal, however. The first form of the final boss is butt-fuckingly infuriating if you don't have the most powerful weapons in the game, too. It should be noted that I did not have the most powerful weapons in the game in my recent playthrough.
