Hints on Double Switch By: Chad Locklear General Tips and Strategy: 1. Watch the map on the left. Make sure you aren't watching something that isn't really important when you could be trapping people. 2. Make sure you aren't cut off. You can be switched off in the basement and the storage area. 3. You can also be cut off if you aren't capturing enough people. 4. Important scenes (attacks on tenants, attempts on your power supply, code numbers, etc.) always occur in the same order. Other events can occur in any order. Tips for Act 1: (Note: Besides the below, you must trap many more intruders) These tips are in chronological order. 1. Use the fireplace trap on the intruder in Alex's room. If you don't, Eddie yells at you. 2. Use the power box trap on the thug who tries to switch you off in the storage room. 3. Get the first code number in Brutus's room. 4. Lyle is in Brutus's room. Trap him. 5. Several thugs come into the lobby. Trap one with the column trap. 6. Get a code number in the grad's room. Quickly switch to the band room for another number. 7. Trap the thug who tries to turn off your power. 8. Save Brutus by using the punch trap when Luigi's arm bumps the column. 9. Get the final code number in Alex's room. This is the end of Act 1. Tips for Act 2 Again, you must trap many more intruders than just these. 1. Several members of a secret society try to steal the statue in the lobby. Use the column trap at the right time. 2. A thug tries to shut off the power. You know what to do. 3. Lyle uncovers the first of Eddie's hidden traps in Brutus's room. Bonus tip: Don't trap Lyle or you won't get the extra traps. 4. Lyle uncovers another hidden trap in the grads' room. 5. Quickly switch to the band room. Use the lamp trap to stop the thug from killing Jeff. 6. Stop another thug from getting Alex by using the window trap. 7. This is where it starts getting complicated. Save Phoebe by disarming (hit B repeatedly) the coffin trap. Then trap the mummy using the new trap. 8. Lyle shows you another trap in the basement. 9. Lyle shows you a trap in the Band room. 10. Save Brutus by disarming the new trap, then re-arm it and trap the mummy. 11. An intruder in the basement will attempt to cut you off. Use the elevator trap. 12. Save Jeff by disarming the cage trap. Re-arm and trap the mummy. 13. Lyle will show you another secret trap in Alex's room. 14. Lyle will show you another secret trap in the storage room. 15. Trap Eddie (sure he's your "friend" but he will disconnect you). Use the conveyor trap in the basement. 16. Trap Eddie again. This time he will try to disconnect you from the phone line in the storage room. There is no warning beep so just try to time it right. 17. The next event of importance occur's in Alex's room. I didn't see much because I hadn't trapped enough intruders. I hope these tips were an aid to you. I will expand on them when I get farther. Let's hope Sega comes out with a couple more like this, so I won't feel like I wasted my money on the Sega CD! Any comments, questions, corrections, etc.?
