This has mainly been tested on the Gamecube version of the game but most of it will also apply to the Playstation 2 and Xbox versions. If you want to flood my E-mail with junk send it to Fragnarok@hotmail.com, but it will more then likely be deleted with the sea of spam. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ======================================================================= +THE DEBUG CODE AND WHAT IT DOES+ [3THE] """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" To access the Debug Mode you must enter the following code with Controller 1 at any time during normal game play: Gamecube- -------- Hold the L button, Hold the R button, Hold the Y button, Hold Left on the direction pad. While these are all held down press Start. No, you don't have to hold down L all the way and R only part way. Playstation 2- ------------- Hold the L1 button, Hold the R2 button, Hold the Triangle button, hold Left on the Direction pad. While these are all held down press Start. Xbox- ---- Hold the L button all the way, Hold the R button part way, Hold the Y button, Hold the A button, Hold Left on the Right Analog stick. While these are all held down press Start. I don't know for sure but what I mentioned about the GC version's L & R buttons might also be true for the Xbox version. The buttons you have to press are a bit spread out so you might have to hold your controller a bit oddly. Anyway if you entered the code right a menu with three options will show up. This menu will contain: >Warp to...< Warps you to many of the locations in the game. Check the Warp list section to see which choices will bring you where. Another thing to note is that the enemies only respawn if you warp or move on to a new Act. >Invulnerability< As the name implies it makes you immune to enemy attacks. You will however still die if you fall into a pit, destroy an explosive barrel or are hit by the projectiles shot from the rotating Eyes in the Thieves' Guild. If you toggle this option it will remain on in every game until you either toggle it back off or turn the game off. >Return to Game< Takes you back to the game, just like it does normally. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ======================================================================= +WARP LIST+ [4WAR] """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" The different places "Warp to..." will take you. >Gauntlet< Places you in Gauntlet mode reguardless of your character. Very fun if if you want to try going through the Gauntlet mode as a different character or even with 2 players. >Tutor< Places you in Tutorial mode reguardless of your character. Not nearly as cool as the Guantlet warp. >Town< The port city of Baldur's Gate. >Tavern< The Elf Song Tavern. A good place to buy basic weapons and armor from Bartley. >Cellar1< The Elf Song Tavern's rat infested cellar. >Sewer1< First level of the sewers beneath Baldur's Gate. You'll have to make a ways to encounter the first boss, Bugbear Chieftain. >Sewer2< Second level of the sewers beneath Baldur's Gate. >Crypt1< First level of Baldur's Gate's local crypt. >Crypt2< Second level of Baldur's Gate's local crypt. You'll meet the next boss, Orb of the Undead, on this floor. >Thieves1< First level of the Thieves' Guild. >Thieves2< Second level of the Thieves' Guild. You'll fight Karne, another boss. >Thieves3< Last level of the Thieves' Guild. >Bthrone< The Throne room where you encounter the final boss of Act 1, Xantam the Beholder. >Windwalk< The Wind Walk you must fight through to get to the Mining camp at the start of Act 2. >Burneye1< The base of Burning Eye mountain. >Burneye2< The summit of Burning Eye mountain. >Burneye3< The west side of Burning Eye mountain. >Burneye4< The east side of Burning Eye mountain. >Sigtower< The peak of Burning Eye mountain. >Smlcave1< An Ice Cave on the base of Burning Eye mountain. >Smlcave2< An Ice Cave on the summit of Burning Eye mountain. >Smlcave3< An Ice Cave on the summit of Burning Eye mountain.

You'll find the flint in here. >Burnfrst< The Dark Forest. >Icecave1< First level of the Ice Cave. >Icecave2< Second level of the Ice Cave. >Icecave3< Last level of the Ice Cave. The final Boss of Act 2, Ciraxis the White Dragon, is just steps away. >Snowpeak< This is where the cut scene featuring Ciraxis took place. You can't move around much. >Mine1< First level of the Mines. >Mine2< Second level of the Mines. >Mine3< The Drow Underworld. Ilivarra the Drow Priestess, the first boss of Act 2, is at the end of the level. >Minecamp< The Mining camp.

You can meet Sleyvas at the end of the level to buy exceptional weapons and armor. >Swamp2< East side of Adderspine road. >Chelimp1< Chlimber's Crown. >Chekeep1< The outter portion of the Keep. >Chekeep2< The inner portion of the Keep. Sess'sth the Lizard Man King, the first boss of Act 3, is a fair ways away. >Bog1< The Rotting Bog. >Temple1< The Sinking Temple. Sleyvas is also here but his list of goods hasn't changed any. >Towerb< The Onyx Tower's Basment. >Tower1< The first floor of the Onyx Tower. >Tower2< The second floor of the Onyx Tower. >Tower3< The third floor of the Onyx Tower. >Tower4< Black Forge within the Onyx Tower.

This is where you fight the final boss of the game, Eldrith the Betrayer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ======================================================================= +OTHER FUN CODES+ [5OTH] """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" There are other codes besides the Debug Mode. If you wish to cheat further you can try these out: \---------------------\ |Super Characters code| /---------------------/ Like the Debug Mode enter these durning game play. The code works with either controller but it will effect both players. This seems to only work during new games, not loaded ones or with imported characters. Gamecube- -------- Hold the L button, Hold the R button, Hold the X button, Hold Right on the direction pad. Playstation 2- ------------- Hold the L1 button, Hold the R2 button, Hold the Triangle button, hold Left on the Direction pad. While these are all held down press R3. Xbox- ---- Hold the L button all the way, Hold the R button part way, Hold the Y button, Hold the A button, Hold Left on the Right Analog stick. Isn't that the Debug code too!? You might know that you did it right because some characters will say things. Adrianna and Drizzt have several comments about your actions, Kromlech laughs, while Vahn will either remains silent or say something. From what I've seen this is what will happen to your character: 1. Vanh, Kromlech, and Adrianna will become level 20 and thier EXP will become 190,000 even if they were much higher then that; Drizzt stays the same. You can still gain levels but it might take a while. 2. Your stats do not change, this can either be a bad if you were lower then level 20 or good if you were in fact higher. However I've heard that on the Xbox Version your stats actually drop to 1's and 2's. 3. Vanh, Kromlech, and Adrianna's Health and Energy become 1,000; Drizzt's stay the the same. However once you trigger an event, such as getting the Key from Ethon, your Health and Energy will revert back to what your character would normally have at level 20. 4. Vanh, Kromlech, and Adrianna's Base Attack becomes 195(Before STR bonuses); Drizzt doesn't receive this. 5. Skill points left to aculeate becomes 500 6. Vanh, Kromlech and Drizzt have one rank in every Feat; Adrianna has 1 rank in every Feat except Lightning Bolt which has 2, turning it into Chain Lightning. 7. You will have 100,000 gold 8. All characters gains ten Active Feats/Spells: All characters gain- ------------------- Flaming Arrow Exploding Arrow Burning Hands Magic Missle Ball Lightning Fireball Melf's Acid Arrow Otiluke's Icy Sphere Snowblind Fire Shield 9. Also each character gets five extra spells. They are as followed: Vahn- ---- Ice Arrow(Unless you already know Repulsion) Shock Arrow Cure Lt. Wounds(A new Spell!) Lightning Bolt Meteor Swarm(Unless you already know Hail of Arrows) Kromlech- -------- Bull Rush Whirlwind Attack Clangeddin's Fist Lightning Bolt Meteor Swarm Adrianna- -------- Ice Arrow Shock Arrow(Unless you already know Mordenkainen's Sword) Cure Lt. Wounds Chain Lightning Meteor Swarm Drizzt- ------ Ice Arrow Repulsion Cure Lt. Wounds Lightning Bolt Meteor Swarm \---------------\ |Start as Drizzt| /---------------/ This is a fun little code to play as Drizzt even if you haven't beaten Extreme mode. Use the code during the character select screen and the loading screen. You can do this code on either controller, and if both players enter it you will play as two Drizzts! You can also use this code for the Tutorial. Isn't it odd that Drizzt doesn't fall over when he's attacked in the intro? Gamecube- -------- Hold the L button and the R button. Very simple, no? Playstation 2- ------------- Hold the L1 button, R1 button, and Triangle. Xbox- ---- This doesn't work in the Xbox Version. Note that if you haven't beaten Extreme mode you won't be able to load any game you save with Drizzt on it, or import him to other games. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ======================================================================= +CODELESS CHEATING+ [6COD] """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" This is stuff that doesn't require a code but it's still pretty underhanded. \-----------------------\ |Abuse the Import option| /-----------------------/ Because importing and deleting characters doesn't effect your already saved data it is very easy to dupe items and make very powerful level 1 characters. Simply import a strong character and have him give his items and equipment to the weaker character, then that weaker character can equip the items or sell them for a monster amount of gold. You can even do this with two low level characters and have them sell their clothes until they can buy weapons and armor. You can also exploit Importing characters to gain EXP quickly. First save game A before a boss fight that gives good exp, such as Ciraxis, then after you kill him go back and save a new game B. Instead of continuing on reload game A but then import your hero from game B, he'll have the EXP he just gained and can kill Ciraxis again for more. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ======================================================================= +ACTUAL LEGITIMATE BONUSES+ [7ACT] """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Unlike the rest of the things mentioned in this guide, the following are meant to be found and used. \-------------\ |Gauntlet mode| /-------------/ To unlock: Kill Eldrith on Easy, Normal or Hard mode. In the Gauntlet you go solo as Drizzt and have to kill a whole horde of monsters and escape within 15 minutes. This is quite hard and might take you 5-20 tries to beat. If you actually make it out of there you will be able to save your game, as well as unlock Extreme mode. \------------\ |Extreme mode| /------------/ To unlock: Beat Gauntlet mode. If you thought Hard was a cake walk then you'll be in store for an eye opener. Every enemy gains giant stat boosts. Even the weakest monster will make short work of you! Not only that but characters you import from Easy/Normal/Hard games will lose all their cool equipment and be reset to level 1(Drizzt will be like he was in Gauntlet mode, level 16, have Icingdeath and Twinkle, etc.) \--------------\ |Play as Drizzt| /--------------/ To unlock: Kill Eldrith in Extreme mode. Now you can load games with Drizzt and import him as you please. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ======================================================================= +CERDITS AND STUFF+ [8CRE] """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Acknowledgements- ---------------- The people who orignally found and shared these codes Legal- ----- This document is copyright 2003 by Kurtis Seid Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance is copyright 2002 by Interplay Gamecube is a trademark of Nintendo Playstation 2 is a trademark of Sony Xbox is a trademark of Microsoft Distribution or plagiarism of this document without the consent of the author could result in legal action.
