(Screen One)

No Items

NPCs: Duchamp Pynchon, Ultra Violet, Lenora Major, Xandro

- Ultra Violet has a nice poem to tell you. (somone at Microprose worked hard on it :-). Otherwise useless.

(Screen two)

No Items

NPCs: Cyril Thorpe, Benny Puzzle, Joyce Reverb, Wendy Range, Moliere Ten Street, Gerry Soo, Jane Queen Possible, Oscar Nandez

-Gerry gives you a multi-language note which is a clue to the address of Cyril Thorpe's WELL. This note can be translated with the Babel Code. (found in the WELL "noun") It tells you Cyril Thorpe's WELL "medium."

-Benny, after you have spoken to Gerry Soo, will give you another clue to Cyril Thorpe's WELL - so you can try and work it out without finding the Babel Code

-Cyril will not talk to you on this plane. If you place Sir Sebastian's beads next to him go to his WELL then he will speak to you in Cyberspace.

Trinity Church Cemetery - Wall Street

Special note: If you go to this area without active instapigment every NPC attacks you straight away, with active instapigment then you can talk to them all.

TransTechnicals, Inc- TransTechnicals

Special Note: When you begin playing Bloodnet the only area that is available is the TransTechnicals lobby, which you need to meet the special access requirements to enter. Throughout the game areas are opened up within TransTechnicals by conversations with NPCs. These areas can then be accessed from the lift in the lobby area by walking up to it as if it was an ordinary door. Doing this gives you a list of accessable locations. This makes the TransTechnicals building a little bit like the New York city map itself, as some of the Rooms have two screens, and some contain different people depending on the time of day. Also when you enter a room there is a random chance you will be sighted by a TransTech Internal Security unit, which you have to fight inside the room. Killing them does not cause the NPCs in the room to refuse to talk to you - they don't even notice the fight.

Special Access Requirements: TransTech Clearance Badge equiped on one party member. Also must have spoken to Kimba West in Central Park, then to Lenora Major in Cafe Volataire, before entering Cyberspace and going to WELL "major" with at least a Samurai Soul box equipped. (This allows you to travel about within TransTechnicals without as many meetings with the Security groups, though you can actually gain entry to the Lobby and other areas without doing this).

(Lobby)

No Items

NPCs: Elaine Bigelow, Daryl Mcfarland, Jacqueline, Fabray

-Elaine offers to give you information on getting past security for 100. If you pay her she tells you to go to Central Park and ask around. Since you can do this anyway it's best just to not talk to her.

-Nootropressin G is a "smart drug effective in treating mental illness." This and the syringe are two parts of the cure needed for Larisa Mayne in the Plaza Hotel.

The Abyss - Times Square

Special note: The Abyss is a place to go to hire Mercenaries to fill out your party. I have listed their hiring conditons and anything else of interest. Where inventory items are listed these are not complete inventory for the NPC, merely items of particular use/interest. Some will not join you under their normal conditions if they do not like a member of you existing party, for example later in the game Monique St. Claire won't join if you already have Melissa Van Helsing as a member when you go there.

No Cyberspace Access

It is neccessary for the completion of Bloodnet that this NPC a) doesn't die, b) doesn't get dismissed from party, and stays with you until the end of Bloodnet.

Strawberry fields - W. 66th Street

Special note: Hang out of Black Aggots Street Gang. These guys have been hired by Van Helsing to kill Stark, and two days after you first visit Strawberry Fields the attacks begin. These take the form of either instant attack on entering Strawberry Fields, by the Black Aggots, or nearly everytime you travel through the New York Map your party must fend off an attack in a subway station before reaching the destination. Even if you kill all of the Black Aggots, just coming here triggers the attacks. The only reason to come here at all is that one of the NPCs gives you the address of the WELL "antibody," which contains a C.Flyer mindpiece. But if you are using this guide you know that anyway and so can save yourself the irritation of loosing party members in constant fights.

No Cyberspace Access

No items

-Wanda sells you a loaded Data spider for 500

-Julius sells Dermal Filament for 500. If you buy this from him he then sells you a Lapel pin for 100. These pins can be used instead of the Invitation to gain access to the Hellfire club, once you know it's location, as well as allowing you into the Inner Sanctum room within the Hellfire Club. In other words it is a very good investment to buy this off of him.

-Petra begs you for a free power cell. Gives you her gratitude in return

-Dodger Says he will swap his Cyborg leg for Red Lifters. If you do this then he says he will offer to swap a cyborg head for hero makers.

-Tempered Steel offers to join you for 10,000. Tempered Steel is a Great NPC to have in the Party. Has an Arm in his inventory and a Cybergenetic Arm and a Cybergenetic Leg actually attached. If you hire him he will leave if you have two extra limbs attached to him at The Cybersurgery Group. So Don't.

Icon Robber's Studio - W. 96th St

This area is opened when you speak to Coover Tristan of Kafka Conspiracy

Special Note: You can kill these guys to search the area, and get the HoloCam, but this annoy's the Kafka Conspiracy, is a waste of ammo, and means you don't get to use the SomnaVapour for it's intended purpose. Therefore Equip a Gas mask, use the SomnaVapour with the Character with the Gas Mask equipped and put the Icon Robbers to Sleep. Incidently it's never explained why you only need one Gas Mask for your whole party.

No Cyberspace Access.

Items: Search Reveals - Two Holofilms, Holocam, Virtual Viewer, Generator Stabilizer, MultiChannel Transmitter, Refraction Unit.

NPCs: Cody, Squid, Rigginbotham, Ludes Moshe

He asks you to bring the Morph Spawner from the WELL so he can destroy it. If you do this it means you cannot use it yourself with innoculated Morph Codes.

Day NPCs: Noelle Conway, Dr Mcgeary

Night NPCs: Britt

-Dr. Mcgeary asks if you are from security. Say yes and she asks for files, say no and she tells you to get out. Doing either has no apparant effect on the game

-Britt gives Intellegence Morph Code


Section Six - The areas in this section are opened after certain events in Cyberspace and can theoretically be found at any point in the game, though usually do not appear after you have met Melissa Van Helsing in cyberspace. Basically repeatedly access Cyberspace from Tackett's Lab until you have met the necessary characters to open these areas. Sometimes though Harley Shakespeare does not appear at all in a game, or appears right at the end.

NYU Dormatory - Washington Square

This area is opened by the Randomly generated meeting with Zeus in Cyberspace

Cyberspace Access

No Items

NPCs: Paula Di Maggio aka Zeus

-Paula gives WELL "softball" and it's access code "ninja." She asks you to release Bank's Verbatim from a data cage in this WELL, and gives you a clue to his own encoded WELL. Clue: all the N's are L's.

-If you have Charlie Flyer in your party he tells you he always thought Zeus was a little effeminate :-)

Banks Verbatim - E. 96th St

This area is opened by releasing Banks Verbatim from the Data Cage in the WELL "softball."

Cyberspace Access

Items: Dragon soul Box, Diagnostic Unit, Energy interface

NPCs: Jonah, Kelly, Mercenary, Security Captain

-When you enter this area the Security captain tells you they killed Banks Verbatim, and that before he died he revealed the encoded WELL address "mnquqtium ujm viwumxw". They then attack you. Kill them. The code when you use Bank's Clue, Zeus's clue and the help of someone who has since gone to oxford, turns out to be the WELL "eliminate the masters". So now you know.

Ludwig Sampson's Lab - E. 125th St

This area is opened by reading Tackett's Journal in the WELL "hope"

Cyberspace Access

Items: Sampson blocks search. After he dies search reveals: Coveralls, Schonbrun 52 (arm), Ude Utsukushii 66 (arm), Sinosidal Pulse Gun Plans

He is like Stark though, and can be killed easily, giving access to the Metropolitan Museum of Art Coveralls, amongst other things.

Winter Garden Theatre - Times Square

This area is opened by the Randomly generated meeting with Harley Shakespeare in Cyberspace

Special Note: This area has a time factor. If you come here too long after meeting Harley in Cyberspace then everyone else has gone and you can't do anything. When you meet Shakespeare in Cyberspace he gives you a "fake incubus" code. This must be assembled by an expert. I recommend Elvis for the task, though Hakim Magsoudi could probably do it.

No Cyberspace Access

No Items

NPCs: Harley Shakespeare, Jonathon Nobotu, Cecil, Bodyguard.

- Nobuto takes the assembled Fake Incubus off you and leaves the area with Harley. Leave the theatre and come back. If the Fake incubus was assembled convincingly then Nobuto gives you money. If it was assembled badly then he and the two bodyguards attack you.

-Eleanor Salem is only here if you gave her Blood in The Plaza hotel. Gives copy of Manhatten post with no apparant use.

-Though not necessary for completing the game, killing Ennui is immensely satisfying.
