The House of the Dead: Sub Story

Posted on May 22, 2020 by Kori

This is a roughly translated version of The Sub Story to the original House of the Dead roughly from the Japanese Sega Saturn Perfect Guide. Illustrations done by Lisa Lee.

Below are excerpts from Thomas Rogan’s note.

[Study of Dr. Curien]

Dr. Curien was trying to gain the power of God. A quarter century ago, humanity had already begun to regenerate material, that is, to make perfect copies. He also scientifically mutated and created forbidden “life” and planned to put “life” on Coby itself. And based on that copy that “the life” lived in, he was trying to create a living being. It was his study that was pushing like crazy in DBR corp.This plan was being carried out secretly by Dr. Curien, but excessive research is known to the government, DBRcorp. Suddenly had been dismissed.

[Purpose of Research]

After the director’s dismissal, Dr. Curien was secretly studying in his hall to create creatures. It was also around the time when his son, Daniel Curien, died of an unknown disease. Sudden by the director’s dismissal and son’s death, Dr. Curien begims to have strong distrust of humans. The purpose of the research was to develop an organism that could stand above man for the sake of human hatred and resurrection.

[Living organisms to above humans]

The creature Dr. Curien is trying to create. Human beings have been the at the top of the food chain for a long time, but he was also trying to create a creature to be above human beings. Of course it was for hatred and revenge against humans. In addition, it was a creature called Type 00 “Magician” that became the first creature to stand above the unfinished organisms. Dr. Curien made it possible to command the “Magician” at his own discretion, but it seems that the program was secretly changed by a mysterious man.

[Mysterious Man]

The mysterious man who appeared in front of Dr. Curien after the director’s dismissal. He tried to create an organism to stand above human beings as well as Curien. I don’t know what it’s going to be, but apparently it seems that he creates creatures for a different purpose than Curien. The mysterious person who never showed up at all in the case at the Curien Mansion. DBR Corp. It is said that he was responsible for the abduction of a researcher inside the mansion.

[DBR. Corp]

DNA Bio Reacter Corporation, a research institute for biological research, mainly for genetic and DNA recombination research. It is a government research institution, and it’s activities are partly open to the public. Also, the research process has been reported to government agencies on a sequential basis.

[DBR. Researcher]

The research on DNA Bio-Reacter is mainly carried out. Their research themes vary, however, they intervene in unknown fields such as “Catalog of human genome”, “Proof of biodeterminism”, “Intervention to DNA somatic cells”, “Existence system of acquired RNA” and more. The researchers at the Curien Mansion were abducted and forced to engage in research by Dr. Curien, but there was a tragedy that would be attacked by zombies when it was used late in the study.

Boss: Emperor Type-a

Emperor Type-a
Emperor weak point

Created by Goldman, this creature must be at the top of nature.
That is “EMPEROR”.
The weak point is the red core that is visible in the center of the transparent body .

Unlike other bosses, you can cut down on its health as much as you shoot, so you’ll be able to test the “accuracy” and “fire power” you’ve been using so far .

“EMPEROR” attack patterns can be broadly divided into three types.

[1] Bit Attack
Randomly attack with 3 types: throwing spheres, throwing spheres simultaneously, and rushing.

○ Spheres

One hand is pushed out before the attack.
Be careful because the speed of the sphere changes depending on the difficulty.
Spheres can be shot in one shot, so deal with them without rushing.

○ Simultaneous Spheres

When shooting spheres simultaneous, “EMPEROR” pushes
out both hands before the attack . There is no change in speed when the spheres are shot simultaneously.

○ Rushing cut

When it prepares rush, the “EMPEROR” will accumulate energy before the attack, so you can shoot a lot in the gap . If you
fire the core while its wielding a sword, you can stop the attack.

[2] Dummy Attack

If you reduce it’s health by about 30%, the attack pattern of the “EMPEROR” will change,
and will attack you by changing into the bosses you’ve have fought so far.

○ JUDGMENT

This pattern is always used when a bullet reaches the core during JUDGMENT charging.
There is no pattern of turning left and right, so fire in the middle .

○ HIEROPHANT

jumps high and tries to poke a spear.
There is no opening and closing of the chest, so you can just shoot at the core .
It’s the easiest pattern to deal with.

○ TOWER

Once it tilt its neck to the right and start to hang from the top, it is important to aim at the moment you turn right .
The aim is fixed at the upper right corner
toward “EMPEROR”, and when “TOWER” starts moving , try to shoot the place continuously .

○ The point is to aim around this

forehead slightly above the STRENGTH head .
You can shoot only for a moment before the chainsaw can hit you, so the
timing is considerably severe compared to other dummy attacks. This is the most difficult pattern to deal with.

[3] Rotation attack When the

When the remaining health is about 1/3, it becomes only the core and
rushes with a bit that rotates around .

It is necessary to aim well because the core is small, but if you aim calmly, you can easily deal with it. If you get to here, you win.

Boss: Magician Type-0

Magician Type-0
Magician weak points

One of Dr. Curien’s greatest masterpieces.
“MAGICIAN” is a powerful life form that can manipulate flames freely.
It was supposed to have been buried in the Curien Mansion case …

There are four weak points, the left upper arm, right lower arm,
left thigh, and right shin that are not covered by armor .
Attacks other than weak points are not allowed.

The weak part of the foot is easy to aim because the exposed part is larger and the movement is less .

Tips

There are two basic attack patterns.

[1]
Fire bullets at the fire projectile from both hands of the “MAGICIAN”.
While accumulating energy, fire towards the weak point, and when a

bullet is fired , give priority to shooting the projectile .

The fire projectiles can be shot down with a single shot, so
if you have reached this point, you should be able to deal with them.

[2] Flame slashing
“MAGICIAN” rushes with the flame in his arm.
Whether or not to attack. This attack will be a parting of life and death.
If you hit a weak point, you can stop the attack, so as soon as he start rushing, aiming at his left thigh or right shin is easy to deal with.

When “MAGICIAN” loses half of his health, the
fire projectiles will come down mercilessly from the sky.
10 shots fired from both hands, with shooting the
5 rounds at them in the center.

Here, the continuous rapid fire means a lot, so put a lot of power into it.

Because the “MAGICIAN” is defenseless while he accumulates energy , aim at the right foot and aim at a focused attack to take him down once and for all.

Boss: Strength Type-205

Strength Type-205
Strength weak point

“STRENGTH” is a huge zombie that wields a huge chainsaw. The weak point of “STRENGTH” is the head, but it is hard to hit because it is shot with a chainsaw.

Tips

There are three types of attack patterns.

[1] The chainsaw cutting
“STRENGTH” rushes at a tremendous momentum and
cuts with a chainsaw .
The only way to stop him is to fire at the head.

Continue to aim to hit this ,

You got to attack so that it prevents the creature to not attack with the chainsaw as much as possible.

[2] Throwing

“STRENGTH” will throw a hatchet that has been driven into his body.
Shoot the hatchet flying in an arc, then aim at the head.

[3] Jump cut
“STRENGTH” jumps from the top of the wall.
There is a chance to shoot your head just before landing, but be
careful because the timing is severe .
From the moment you jump off, the

the point is to fire around the jaw .

Occasionally, a chain saw is raised and is threatening, but there are
plenty of opportunities. Shoot bullets into your head without mercy.

The route is divided into the east side and the west side of the Coliseum, but the basic strategy is the same. You can also shoot “STRENGTH” body and gradually reduce his health bar, but you can’t stop the momentum, so you should continue to aim at the head.

Boss: Tower Type-8000

Tower Type-8000
Tower weak point

“TOWER” is a giant dragon with five necks. To defeat “TOWER”, you must first annihilate the four brown dragons.

Tips

Before one of the brown dragon bites and attacks, the mouth will glow, so
aim for that moment . Even if the mouth isn’t fully open,
it’s important to aim and shoot if the mouth shines .

Also, even if the mouth is not shining,
you can do damage if the mouth is slightly open .

When the brown dragon is annihilated, it becomes a single fight with the blue dragon in the back room.
The blue dragon will try to bite you while moving violently, but
if you aim at the mouth while the mouth is shining, you should be able to defeat it without difficulty.

Even if you get stuck, you will attack with its mouth wide open in the end. Rapidly fire without giving up.

Depending on the route, there will be a confrontation between the water and sand area. However,
the basic capture pattern is the same, with only a slight difference in the timing at which the mouth shines .
