------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome and thank you for reading my guide to Giants: Citizen Kabuto. Giants
is a third person action game with some really innovative features and, above
all, great humour. The game was extremely underrated, and has passed
relatively unnoticed by the majority of the PC gamers. In Giants: Citizen
Kabuto you initially assume the role of Baz, a cockney Mecc (a humanoid
spaceman), who falls on a strange planet known as the Island along with his
other Mecc friends. Together they discover the secrets of this world and of
the mythical creature Kabuto.
The game was originally published in 2000, but no guides other than this have
been submitted on GameFAQs.com. That is why I decided to write this guide to
help those who have difficulty beating the game on their own. This guide is
single-player oriented. This means that you will not find sections devoted to
multiplayer games. I may concentrate on the missions available in the story
mode, but some of the sections contain useful information for the Multiplayer
games as well. I am aware of the fact that Giants can be beaten even without
the help of a guide, but there will always be people who feel reassured when
they have a guide, or people who want to check something up.
This is the third major release of the guide (for more information on previous
versions check the "VERSION HISTORY" section) and it is considered the 100%
complete version. As you can see the version count still applies, because I am
planning to release future minor updates.
This guide includes a walkthrough as well as other sections, such as a CHEATS
section, and a section devoted to the GAME's BASICS (items - equipment,
controls etc), which is essentially a mini encyclopedia about the mechanics
of the game. The subsection "CHARACTERS" analyses the available characters and
provides useful information about the non-playable characters of the game.
This guide also includes a "STRATEGIES" section where general gameplay
information can be found. This section is intended to help those who do not
want to use the step-by-step walkthrough, but only need to learn a couple more
things to help them through the game.
For questions about the game, read the "FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS" section of
this guide, or try visiting the GameFAQs.com Giants message board. In case
everything else fails, e-mail me at my address found in the "CONTACT
INFORMATION" section.
You can contribute to this guide by sending strategies, questions, reports
about mistakes of all types (typos, obscurities etc) and tips or information
of any kind concerning the game. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Credit will be given to the contributors.
Please excuse any typos or mistakes and enjoy the guide. Thanks again. :)

This section provides detailed information about the playable races, their
equipment and contains a full list of the game's controls. Information about
special items, like jetpack upgrades, spells or vehicles can be found in the
"Items" subsection. A "Kabuto Attacks" section is also included, to help you
unleash the full destructive power of Kabuto. This section is especially
important for beginners, as it contains useful information that should be
known before you play the game. As you can see, this section is a small
Giants: Citizen Kabuto encyclopedia and might prove useful as a reference tool
while playing the game.
** NOTE ** : Some of the information contained in this section comes from the
game's manual. Just in case you are wondering, the information
contained here is original and very few things have been copied
directly from the manual, so you are advised to read through this
section before playing, especially if you are new to the game.

- C.1.Characters                                                     [CCHA1] -
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This section contains information about the different characters that can be
found in the game. They are divided into two large categories: playable and
non-playable.
-------------------
PLAYABLE CHARACTERS
-------------------
During the game you can play with three different races: the Meccs, the Sea
Reapers and Kabuto. Each race has its own role in the story and is connected
with the other playable and non-playable races. The Meccs, the Sea Reapers and
Kabuto share some common characteristics as far as gameplay is concerned, but
each race has its own special equipment, controls and story.
MECCS (a.k.a. MECCARYNS)
------------------------
Meccs are one of the three playable races of the game. They are the good guys
who, on their way to planet Majorca, land on the Island. Their cockney accent
is their most notable characteristic, apart from the space suits and the big
guns, of course. They are a technologically oriented race and they rely on
guns and paraphernalia (grenades, mines etc) to face the danger. One of their
most useful pieces of equipment is the Jetpack, a device that allows them to
fly for short distances. Various upgrades and backpacks that add functions to
the Jetpack are available throughout the game. The Meccs can carry up to three
weapons three different items and one backpack at a time.
The main character and the one the player controls is Baz. His companions are
Tel, Reg, Gordon and Bennett. Together they explore the Island and discover
its secrets.
SEA REAPERS
-----------
The Sea Reapers are a race that relies not on technology, but on the mystical
power of magic. The player controls Delphi, daughter of the evil Queen Sappho,
who is an excellent user of magic and a great fighter. Delphi is not evil like
her mother and resents what her people are doing to the Smarties and she
decides to help the Meccs. She is proficient with the sword and the bow. Don't
let her looks surprise you. Delphi can use her spells to build bases, destroy
large buildings or even kill large groups of enemies within seconds. She can
hover from one place to the other using her Turbo ability. Like any Sea
Reaper, Delphi likes water. Swimming around will not cause the piranhas to
attack her. Instead, she replenishes health. Delphi can carry up to three
bows, apart from her sword and regular bow, and store up to five spells with
three charges of each at a time.
KABUTO
------
He's bad, he's mean and he's HUGE! Kabuto is the game's bruiser. He does not
use hi-tech guns or spells, he can't fly or fire with a bow and he sure as
hell isn't good-looking, but who cares? His fists will destroy buildings and
pulverise anything that comes in its way. Rumour has it that he is a Sea
Reaper experiment gone wrong. Well... bad for them! Kabuto is on the loose and
he is angry! He grows in size as the game progresses and gives birth to
offspring to aid him in his cause for ultimate destruction. Kabuto does not
use any items. Kabuto feeds on his enemies: anyone unlucky enough to find
himself close to the huge creature is grabbed, lifted up from the ground and
eaten. This way, Kabuto replenishes his health. The only weak spot of Kabuto
is in his stomach. Anyhow, better not cross this fella's path.
-----------------------
NON-PLAYABLE CHARACTERS
-----------------------
During the game the player encounters many creatures that do not belong to one
of the above races. These creatures, friendly or aggressive, are important to
the story and add depth to the world the game is set in.
1. SMARTIES
-----------
Smarties are inhabitants of the island. These little creatures with the huge
heads can be extremely helpful for all the playable races. As a Mecc or as
Delphi, Smarties can be used to help you build your base. They will also
develop new weapons, spells and items for you. As Kabuto, Smarties make great
snacks and help to get bigger and closer to giving birth to the offspring!
Smarties cam be grabbed by the Meccs and Delphi. A Mecc places the Smartie on
his back, in order to move around with it, whereas Delphi keeps it "locked" in
a magical bubble that follows her.
Not all Smarties are good, though. During some missions, the player encounters
the evil Smarties, that look a bit different and darker than their good
brothers. Keep an eye out for them during the Kabuto missions, because they
are an excellent source of protein for our big friend!
2. VIMPS
--------
These big and stupid creatures are the cattle of the Island. They can be found
running around the plains happily. Vimps are hunted down for their meat, which
is an essential part of Smartie diet. Kabuto also eats Vimps, but he prefers
them raw. Vimps restore Kabuto's health just like the health syringe restores
a Mecc's.
Vimps also have a use for the Meccs and for Delphi. The beasts prove extremely
useful during the Base-Building missions: the Meccs gather Vimp meat to keep
the Smarties satisfied and working, whereas Delphi gathers Vimp souls to power
the Persuader machine that keeps the Smarties calm.
If a whole herd of Vimps is eliminated by the Meccs, Delphi or Kabuto, the
Vimps will respawn after some time, but they will be considerably smaller than
they used to be. Do not worry about this, because they will grow as time
passes. Why wait for them to grow up? Because the bigger, the more food they
produce. That simple.
3. REAPER GUARDS
----------------
Every action game out there has its grunts. The Reaper Guards are the grunts
in this game. They are also the soldiers and the bodyguards. You will be
fighting against these halfwits for the biggest part of the Mecc and the Sea
Reaper campaign. They are stupid, but their intelligence will suffice when it
comes to carrying a gun. They can be found patrolling areas in large groups
and they always carry heavy weaponry. Their equipment and ways of
transportation varies: they can be seen carrying machine guns, grenade
launchers, sniper guns or even missile launchers and they either move on foot
or fly around with jetpacks. Keep an eye out at all times for the Kamikaze
Ripper who comes charging at you!
4. RIPPERS
----------
These monstrosities reside below the surface and can often be found in packs.
They are extremely dangerous enemies, especially so during the Mecc campaign,
who can attack with their huge claws or by spitting balls of fire at the
player. When underground, a part of their bodies is visible, thus warning any
trespassers of their nesting grounds about their presence. Rippers serve the
Sea Reapers. They come in three sizes:
Small:  This Reapers move slowly and they always remain on the surface. Their
only means of attacking is their teeth. They spawn from small Ripper
husks that can be destroyed to prevent more from appearing.
Medium: These Rippers are much tougher that the smaller ones. They can move at
medium speed above and below ground and launch flaming projectiles
against their targets. When killed, they leave behind a glowing sphere
that restores a moderate amount of health when picked up.
Large:  These are by far the most fearsome of Rippers. Their speed both above
and below ground is faster than that of any other Ripper and they can
deal massive damage with their claws and teeth, as well as with the
blue fireballs they launch at their enemies. The glowing orb they
leave behind will restore a significant amount of health.
5. SONAK
--------
These ponderous beasts are the closest thing to an elephant there is on the
Island. They are used by the Reaper Guards as a means of transportation not
only because of their hard skin that makes them difficult to kill, but also
because they can mount gun turrets on their backs. As if these weren't enough,
the Sonaks possess the ability to cause the ground around them to shake by
stomping their feet, thus making their enemies lose their balance and a large
portion of their health. And there's more: the Sonaks can use their bellowing
to release sound waves that harm their enemies. If such waves hit a Mecc, he
loses his jetpack ability for a short period of time.
6. CHARGER
----------
This territorial creature will rarely leave the area it has chosen to settle
in. It will charge at any trespassers who violate his privacy. The Changer's
huge body and great speed make sure that the target will be rent upon impact
or, if unlucky enough to survive, will be sent flying in the air and will land
metres away. As if the power and speed weren't enough, it is impossible to
harm a charger with any kind of weapon (unless you're carrying a nuclear bomb
with you) by shooting at any part of its body. The only part of its body that
can be harmed is its mouth. Be extremely careful of its charge when facing the
beast. It can rip you to pieces if it gets near you. Try aiming for its mouth
with the strongest weapon you have and make sure you run away after you shoot,
because you might still get hit by it.
7. RAIKS
--------
Raiks are the evil servants of Queen Sappho. They possess the torso of a woman
and the lower body of a wasp. They have many magical powers, such as the
ability to turbo and the ability to cast the spells cloak, teleport, as well
as other spells. They will attack using their deadly arsenal of spells or
their bow and sword. They can often be found close to squads of Reaper Guards
or guarding open areas. The best way to say hello to these creatures is with
half a dozen bullets/spells/arrows in the head (they won't die with less).
8. QUEEN SAPPHO
---------------
The source of all evil! Sappho is the most powerful and evil of all the Sea
Reapers. She managed to rule among her kin after they were forced to live at
sea by Kabuto, who had got out of control. Kabuto had slain large numbers of
Sea Reapers and was the dominant figure on the Island. Sappho wants to see her
people thrive again and rule over all other races. She created her daughter,
Delphi from the five elements and intended for her to become her ally. Alas,
Delphi proved rebellious and refused to aid the Sea Reapers. She hates the
Meccs and wants to eliminate them.
9. CLEANERS
-----------
These parasites live in vast numbers under the surface and emerge when a
creature dies and falls to feast on it. The cleaners appear in large groups,
their number depending on the size of the dead creature, and the devour
everything, even clothing and bones. After the cleaners are done, they return
to their waiting places beneath the soil and wait for another chance to feed.
10. PIRANHA
-----------
These are the famous carnivore fish. They can be found in every mass of water
in the game, be it sea or a small pond. They will mercilessly attack a Mecc,
but they will not harm Delphi or Kabuto.
11. VERMS
---------
These flying creatures will attack you on sight by launching fire towards your
location. They also tend to lay eggs, when possible, from which new Vimps will
hatch. Just shoot the eggs before they hatch and you will be fine.
12. DACTYL, LOBIRD and FLAKS
----------------------------
Harmless birds that can often be seen flying lazily around the islands. Don't
even bother shooting them down, unless you are extremely accurate and you have
A LOT of ammo.

During the game, you will have the chance to use different pieces of equipment
by playing the campaign missions. In the following section, all available
equipment in the game, including vehicles and spells, is analysed. You will
notice that there is no section concerning Kabuto. It is obvious that such a
section is not included in the guide, because Kabuto does not use any
equipment.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following items can be found during the game either by entering a Gift
Shop or by taking them from dead enemies. Each has its own keyboard shortcut.
HEALTH SYRINGE (default key: "H")
---------------------------------
By far the handiest item, this syringe replenishes a portion of your health.
MINE (default key: "B")
-----------------------
Not extremely useful, apart from setting an ambush, this mine will be buried
in the ground, with only its top showing, and will explode upon impact or
within 5 seconds of activation. This is no ordinary mine, because it actually
pursues the enemy, once it get close.
GRENADE (default key: "G")
--------------------------
A normal grenade, with futuristic looks. Nice to use while flying. Try
dropping a few below you and watch those Rippers get blown up!
FLARE (default key: "V")
------------------------
Last but not least, the Flare is an invaluable item. It is not, of course,
used to produce light. Its main use is to confuse an approaching homing
missile. Try using one of these while being chased by a homing missile,
either in a single player mission, or in the multiplayer.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here it is, folks! A complete and detailed list of all the Mecc equipment in
the game. It's all here, from weapons to backpacks and vehicles!
---------
1.Weapons
---------
HANDGUN
This is the generic Mecc pistol and the Mecc's default weapon. Not much
firepower, though. It is weak and only effective against Rippers and Vimps.
Its infinite ammo makes this gun a trusty friend even in the game's latest
missions.
RPG
Think of this weapon as a sort of Shotgun. When fired, it propels a grenade in
the air, in a straight mine. Nice in close range for battling Reaper Guards or
Rippers and for destroying buildings in the early missions. Its small range is
its biggest drawback.
MACHINE GUN
This is a normal machine gun. Not great accuracy, not really effective from a
long distance, but when you get close, you can say goodbye to those Reaper
Guards.
PROXIMITY MISSILE LAUNCHER
A modification of the RPG, this weapon uses the same projectiles (more or
less) as the RPG. The difference is that the projectile will explode when it
is within 50 feet of the target. Nice weapon. Useful in the multiplayer mode.
SNIPER GUN
One of the game's best weapons, Sniper Gun combines unique firepower and long
range of fire, its only drawback being its relatively limited amount of ammo.
A must for the single player and a useful gun for the multiplayer games.
MISSILE LAUNCHER
This weapon is also similar to the RPG. It is actually the RPG's bigger
brother. The projectiles will do greater damage over a wider area than the RPG
projectile. Nice to take out groups of enemies in the single player.
HOMING MISSILE
Again, this weapon is a modification of the RPG. It does what the name says:
it fires a homing missile that will track your enemy. To lock on a target,
simply keep the crosshair foe three seconds on your target and press the fire
button. A great weapon and especially useful in the multiplayer games.
MILLENNIUM MORTAR
This babe is the game's biggest, nastiest and most powerful weapon. It fires
a projectile that will explode upon impact with any building or living
creature. Its supreme firepower and range make it your best friend during the
last missions in the single player game.
-----------
2.Backpacks
-----------
Apart from the default Jetpack your Mecc will be carrying at all times (apart
from the first mission), there are other backpacks for you to use. Some of
these backpacks (all listed and analysed below) can be activated by using the
Shift button while others do not need activation. If a jetpack draws power
from your Jetpack in order to function, it will be stated in the description.
JETPACK
This is the default backpack. Not especially good without the NITRO BOOST
add-on. The nitro gives your jetpack an extra kick, and allows you to fly
faster. The jetpack is one of Giant's most innovative features and a great
fun factor. All Meccs carry jetpacks, in single player and multiplayer alike.
JETPACK UPGRADE
This is an upgrade for the default Jetpack. It improves the Jetpack greatly,
making it faster and more powerful. Very useful when crossing big areas of sea
and you don't want to become food for the Piranhas.
REPAIR PACK
This upgrade drains energy from your Jetpack and allows you to repair (heal)
buildings, your teammates and even yourself. To repair, simply target a
building or Mecc and press the fire button. To repair yourself, press the fire
button while targeting the air in front of you.
SHIELD PACK
This backpack draws power from your Jetpack and offers protection from
incoming fire for a short amount of time. Not terribly useful, but it can save
you from rather difficult situations. Nice for certain early missions, and
while passing through an area full of enemies.
BUSH PACK
This backpack offers camouflage. While activated it camouflages the Mecc as a
bush and draws power from the Jetpack. It allows the wearer to walk, though
slower than usually, but not to fire of fly using the Jetpack. Be careful,
because you can still be seen when moving, even in disguise. Also be careful
of low Jetpack energy. You do not want to suddenly lose your disguise in the
middle of a group of Reaper Guards.
DEPLOYABLE TURRET
This turret can be lifted by a single Mecc and be deployed in order to shoot
at enemies. Not terribly useful, but nice during the early stages of building
your base.
POP-UP BOMB
This portable bomb is capable of dealing massive damage to large groups of
enemies or buildings. Mostly used for the needs of a mission. You can also use
it as a means of blowing stuff up. Enjoy!

GYROCOPTER
You can gain access to this baby by building a Gyrocopter pad (either during a
base building mission or in a multiplayer game). Gyrocopters hold a Mecc, who
is the pilot, and more who can latch on to the sides. A Gyrocopter has
unlimited fuel capacity (you can fly forever!) and carries a machine gun with
unlimited ammo, as well as three Millennium Bombs (exactly like the Millennium
Gun projectiles). Be careful, though, because the Gyrocopter might be powerful
but it is weak on the structural side. It can be destroyed really easily by
the enemies (When piloting a Gyrocopter, the health indicator refers to the
vehicle, not you), and you don't want to be falling from up there, do you?

1.Weapons

SWORD
Delphi's default weapon, this close-range weapon deals much damage and can
slash an opponent in two. Try combining Delphi's turbo ability (to get closer
to your enemies) and the power of this weapon and you will easily defeat
anyone who stands in your way.
BOW
The equivalent of a Mecc handgun, this bow can shoot fast, but is not that
