'Shenmue II Spoiler-Free Walkthrough' Version 1.0 (5/14/03) by winnie the poop hockeyfox@ameritech.net ============================================================================== Hi, people. Why did I write this guide? Because I felt a bit stupid, while writing my other Shenmue II walkthrough, because I thought it was too detailed... filled with unneccassry details. So I decided to make this one to fulfill those kind of people (you!) that wants the best value from their games. The walkthrough was intended for the people who might have played this game and abondabned it for a while and forgotten what they had to do after that. But you can use it even if you know what to do! ;) This is a mere SPOILER-FREE WALKTHROUGH, not a full walkthrough. That means that you won't see ANY spoilers in the walkthrough (i.e., cut scenes) AND you won't get any directions or 'how to' either. Remember, this is a non-spoiler walkthrough, remember? Heh... If you want a more detailed walkthrough for something in the game, go to my walkthrough, also on this website (should be!). However, I will state the names so don't think it's COMPLETELY non-spoiler. Finding your way around is YOUR problem. Learn the area and their paths. What else? QTEs are also YOUR problem. This game is supposed to entertain you so I respect that. If you really want some help on the QTEs or whatever, feel free to use my other guide. By the way, if you think, at some point(s), that the guide can be improved, please do tell me where and how. Thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aberdeen/Wan Chai ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Beginning ------------- -
