Enter The Matrix

When you first get outside, do a Matrix jump and land on the first bar. Do not move or you will fall off. If you see the Agent, he will be punching nothing. This is a good time too refill health and Focus. Note: The Agent may fire at you.

When you are being chased by a lot of Agent Smith clones, get to the window which first leads you out to the scaffolding and climb out of it. Once on the scaffolding, grab a gun and hide around the corner. Once Agent Smith comes into firing range, fire through the window while hiding round the side so you can dodge if he fires back. After emptying a round on him, he will stop, straighten his tie and jacket, and will not attack you, even if you hurt him.

Choose any character. Starting on the Vertigo level, you will notice that a lot of Agents will be chasing you. If they catch you, they throw you a lot of times. When they seem to be getting a little close to you, turn around and start shooting at them. The bullets will not hit them, but they will keep dodging them, giving you enough time to escape. Use Focus, as it will seem that they are moving a lot slower. Get your gun out, hold Focus (R), while facing the agents, hold Down, press B, and shoot. Your player will jump back, and you will go back farther and keep shooting. Note: Enable the "Unlimited Focus" and "Unlimited health" codes.

There is only one way you can kill the Agents. Enable the "Maximum firepower" code and take out the grenade launcher. Shoot the Agents three or four times and they should die.

Enable the "Invisibility" code. Wait for an Agent to come outside a skyscraper then knock him down. Note: Swords do not hurt Agents.
Cameron Anderson.

Proceed through the level as usual until you reach the part where the Agents drop out of the buildings and put you through a wooden floor. Instead of walking or jumping it, do a long Matrix jump over the gap next to it. If you make it the leap, follow the outer boards and do a big jump at the end to the windows. Once in the building, exit at the far window and you will be near the end of the level. By doing this, you will eliminate about 75% of the level.

In the Hacking engine, instead of using "GUEST", you can LOGIN as FREEMIND or COWBOYCURTIS. The system asks if you would like to hear a message from Morpheus. If you accept, it will tell you to press a number from 1 to 5. There are five messages to hear.

To access multi-player mode, follow the steps used to get the sword. However, instead go to the SPARKS folder and have a chat with him. Activate "HANDSHAKE.EXE". When he asks what program you sent him, say "HANDSHAKE". Then, wait until he is done talking. He will then upload Multi-player to you. Access it by going to "Load" and choosing the level just before the first one.

When entering multi-player mode, you do not get to choose which character(s) you would like to fight as. Instead, the Matrix selects two pre-set opponents depending on which scenario/background you choose. Note: Much like Morpheus vs. Neo in The Matrix, multi-player mode is essentially a training ground to hone your standard skills. Focus is unavailable for use in the Multiplayer program. You must have two Dual Shock 2 controllers, as the original Dual Shock analog controller does not work. There is no background music to accompany these battles. Below is the list of backgrounds/environments that are used in the single player game itself, and the characters the CPU will select upon choosing a certain background:


The Pit - Player 1: Seraph, Player 2: Ballard
The Ballroom - Player 1: Niobe, Player 2: Ghost
The Bedroom - Player 1: Cujo, Player 2: Vlad
The Atrium - Player 1: Sewing Woman, Player 2: Janitor
The Alley - Player 1: Firebird Man, Player 2: Police Car Man

There are also two other levels which are famous areas from The Matrix film, which can only be found in multi-player mode:


The Dojo - Player 1: Niobe, Player 2: Trinity
The Subway - Player 1: Morpheus, Player 2: Agent Smith

Note: The following will not unlock Neo and Morpheus as playable characters, regardless what the messages that appear state. In the Hacking mode, after unlocking the DECODE.EXE program, type DECODE IAHSZWQLFZC. The following message will appear:

"Valid code found.
MORPHEUS"

You will also hear Morpheus say "You have access." Morpheus and Neo are now viewable in the "view" section of Hacking mode, where you can get the stats and pictures of various characters in the game.

If you type DECODE DBIUHU7XDTSMZYO, the following message will appear:

"Valid code found.
NEO UNLOCKED"

You will also hear Morpheus say "You have access." Even more characters are now viewable, such as the Merovingian and Bane.

001-714-555-0187
001-213-555-0142

001-949-555-0101

To unlock the swordfight, follow these steps. Open the Hacking program from the main menu. Open a file that has the game completed. Note: You must have completed the game first in order for this cheat to work; and the game file you select at the Hacking menu must have the game completed. Type LOGIN and press Enter. Type GUEST and press Enter. Type DIR, then a space. DIR should now appear in your command list. Access the B Drive through the DIR command. Select TOOLS from the B Drive. It will be locked and will ask you for an access code. The access code consists of 1s and 0s. You must guess the access code, as it is different each time. It is only five digits long. Once you have access to the TOOLS on the B Drive, type all the .EXE files (without the .EXE after them). For example, type DECODE then a space. DECODE will now appear in the command list. Repeat this for all other .EXE files in the TOOLS folder in the B Drive. Now, access VIRTUAL on your command list. Type in FROZENFISH as the password. An authentication test will start. An image of a Chinese symbol will appear, but it will be scrambled. The image is broken into 9 squares, and each square will have five different choices. You must change all the pieces so that a complete image appears. You have a limited amount of time to do this. Once you guess a correct image, the timer will stop and you will be taken back to the hacking screen. Look at the top of the screen. If it says "Solution: Blue", then the line will be traced and you will have to enter TRACEKILL and then press enter as fast as possible or all progress will be lost. Once you enter TRACEKILL, you will have to start back at accessing VIRTUAL on your command list. However, if it says "Solution: Red", then you will hear a message from Neo and get access to the V Drive. Open the V Drive and get all the commands from the TOOLS folder on your command list. Open the ROOTSEARCH program. Now, open the ROOT folder in the B Drive and get the two commands there on your command list. Enter the MAIL command and type THISISNOTREAL as the password and type YES. You will get a list of phone numbers:

0019495550112
0017145550187
0012135550142
0013105550111
0019495550101

Select the DIAL command and dial 001949555010. You should get a message from Persephone. Next dial 0013105550111. You will get you a message from Trinity. She will give you a number. Select PORTKEY and enter the number. She will start to talk to you. Type NO to both questions and she will give you a program called CRACK on your command list. Open it, then type 8RAM. It should look like this: "CRACK 8RAM". You now have access to the RAM drive. Go to DIR on your command list and access the RAM drive. A list of folder names will appear. Open the TRINITY folder. Get the Training command on your DIR by typing TRAINING then a space. Go to your command list and select TRAINING. On you command list, a file called SWORD.DSK will come up. Select it. It has now uploaded the sword onto you character in the Matrix. Quit the hacking program and select "Save Progress". You can use the sword when you start that game file. It can be used in any stage, but will only a[[ear when fighting enemies by pressing Punch + Kick. You have to enter it again when you turn off the game. Go to the Hacking program, select that file again, select TRAINING, then SWORD.DSK.

Note: The game must be completed first as both Niobe and Ghost in order to unlock the swordfight.

There is no need to try to get the blue Chinese character puzzle solution as you cannot proceed further with it. Click here to view a close-up of the red solution.

If you complete the blue combination for the virtual command, it will hack your system. Once you complete the blue version, Neo says that if he can track you, so can they. A countdown from 1000 begins, and your command list freezes. The total countdown takes less than twenty seconds, and when it finishes, all of your commands are gone and you have to start again.
Jared Kerntke.

Once you unlock the sword, instead of pressing [Punch] + [Kick], press [Action] when approaching an enemy (as if you were going to disarm them). Instead of doing your disarm move, you will take out the sword and slice them up, killing them instantly.
Alex B.

After you have won the game on a file, complete the process of unlocking the sword. Once done, if you open another file you can use the sword in that file.
