Hello, and welcome to my Sanity FAQ for the game Eternal Darkness, for 
Gamecube. This FAQ will explain to you the sanity system in ED, and list 
all of the sanity effects. Enjoy!

Ah...one of the greatest aspects of this wonderful wonderful 
game is the sanity meter! Whenever an enemy sees you, you'll 
lose a bit of sanity (some enemies take more than others, as 
logic would dictate). The only way to recover the lost 
sanity, is to defeat the enemy, and perform a finishing move 
on them. If you choose not to do so, you'll be less sane 
than the average man (but hell, is the average man really 
sane?). Anyhow, the less sanity you have, the more messed up 
things get. Your character will see, and hear, and 
experience some pretty messed up stuff. Also, your recover 
spell can recover sanity when aligned with Xel'lotath. All 
in all, this is an EXCELLENT addition to what would've been 
only a great game, not REALLY great, like it is ^_^ Here is 
a list of every sanity effect that I know of:

-The walls will bleed.

-You'll hear lots of screams, and whispers, and a lot of 
latin, and basically just some really ****ed up stuff, and 
if you're playing at night, by yourself, it can get you 
wondering if it was just your game that made that 
noise...^_~

-The camera will tilt about 10 degrees or so.

-Strange music will play.

-You'll hear strange quotes, from people such as Edgar Allan 
Poe.

-Your character will talk to themself, and say things such 
as "THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!"

-You'll walk into a room, and all of a sudden your head will 
fall off, then your arm, then the other.

-Your head will fall off, and you can pick it up. If you do, 
it will begin reciting a famous passage from Shakespeare's 
Hamlet ("To be or not to be, that is the question, etc...").

-Statues will watch you.

-Art will change from peaceful scenes, to pictures of 
hellish ungodly things.

-You'll receive a phone call from your dead grandfather.

-Your dead grandfather's ghost will visit you, saying some 
strange stuff. Sometimes he's nice, but other times he's 
being really evil.

-Bugs will crawl across the screen.

-Blood will drip from the ceiling.

-You'll turn into a zombie, and be able to walk around as 
it.

-You'll go into a room, and you'll be walking around on the 
ceiling.

-You'll go into a room, severely damaged, and be attacked by 
many zombies.

-You'll open your inventory, only to find that you've lost 
all of your items.

-Your TV will appear to have changed video modes, but you 
can hear yourself being attacked.

-The word Mute will appear, as if someone has muted your TV, 
and all noise will cease.

-The game will "reset", and the quote from Edgar Allan Poe 
will begin to play.

-After you save your game, the game will change it's mind, 
and say that it is deleting your game.

-You'll walk into a room, and have many zombies surrounding 
you, and the game will give you a message that it doesn't 
detect a controller in port 1.

-You'll enter a room, and the ground will be covered in 
ammunition.

-You'll see the word Volume will appear, and the volume bar 
will decrease.

-You'll appear to be walking in quicksand, and will sink 
into the floor.

-Your character will appear to have shrunk.

-Your character will appear to have grown.

-Your character will shoot at the screen.

-While playing as Maximillian Roivas, you'll enter a room, 
and end up in an insane asylum cell (foreshadowing anyone?).

-In the bathroom, you'll see an image of Alex Roivas in a 
tub filled with blood, accompanied by a blood curdling 
scream (this scared the bejesus out of me, lol).

-You'll go into a room to find a man hanging from the 
ceiling. He'll say evil things to you.

-When you try to cast a spell, the top half of your 
character will explode.

-Books will fly across the library.

-Two handguns will appear to be floating down the hall on 
the 2nd floor of the mansion.

-A poker will be poking the fireplace in the library.

-You'll get Microsoft's infamous "Blue Screen Of Death".

-The game will go to a screen that says "To be continued..." 
"Coming soon:Eternal Darkness:Sanity's Redemption".

-When you try to reload your weapon, you'll shoot yourself.
