Please do not steal
this guide in any way shape or form.  You may save this for
personal use.  Do not post it on your website without telling
me and getting my approval, and even then do not alter it in
any way.  This guide is my intelluctual property, and is
protected by the law.  Thanks!
See version history for details!  I just needed to get some
good tips and tricks out there as the boards are a bit clogged
with the same questions day in and day out.  The FULL GUIDE
is finally OUT!!
Please keep in mind, if you use ctrl and F on your keyboard,
you can search for anything in this guide.  Just type in the
keyword (like a place, a power, event, or an achievement), and
you will hopefully find what you want.  Or just read through
all of section 3, it's not that long.
It's a bit FAQ heavy in the front, but this is one of those
games where a couple of simple questions can help you along,
so they come before the full walkthrough.  Bear with me on
having to scroll down to reach the guide.

=============================================================
1) Introduction
Hello hello!  First off, let me say, see section 3 if you're
having trouble with anything.  I hit all the hard to reach
spots people talk about on the message boards at gamefaqs.com
first there.  This includes ALL the phone numbers and ALL the
Darkling Costumes.
To get it out of the way, please don't contact me for spelling
or grammar mistakes, capiche?  It's a waste of both our time.
The full guide will be out SOON.  Right now, I just wanted to
get the general hints and tips out there for those that are
clogging up the message boards.  I've played through parts
of normal up to three times now, and will start hard once I
completel normal all the way.  It is THEN, that I will begin
the full walkthrough guide.  Until then, the gamefaqs.com
message boards are a wonderful place to visit, just please
use the search function first if it is available to you.  Odds
are, your questions HAVE been answered there, I promise.
Now, as a short intro about me, since I like to do that to my
FAQs.  I've written a handful of faqs for gamefaqs.com, and
loads of reviews.  I love gaming, have been at it since the
NES days.  I'm 24, living on my own, have a cool family, a
small circle of friends, and a great girl (hopefully for a
long while :P).  I'm a huge dork when it comes to games,
movies, comics, and music, in that order.  I've been into The
Darkness since the late nineties Image/Top Cow comics boom.
You should definately check it out if you like the game!
Witchblade is also quite cool, though I like Darkness more.
The Darkness was a title slated for 360 launch but it has been
delayed time and again.  I say the tweaking done during this
time of delay was well worth, as we have a very polished end
product, and a fun game!  If you're iffy about how long the
game is, give it a rental first, as it only lasts around 10
hours, unless you really, REALLY stop to smell the roses.
However, I love the title so far, and I'm not tired of it yet.
Good achievements, multiple ways to play, a variety of good
side missions and character interaction, and some good, pulse
pounding shoot outs make this one a replayable title if you
ask me!
Look into the comics if you enjoyed the game.  Consider the
game a sort of "Hollywood-ized" plotline.  It's very basic and
a bit different from the comic books, so odds are if you dig
this game, you'll LOVE the comic books.  Trade paperbacks
(graphic novels) of the titles are out, and contain alot of
content.  Dimension Films (The Crow, the Scream movies, etc)
owns the rights to a film, but I'm not sure if they'll go and
make one or not.  If they do, odds are, it'll  be alot like
this game in terms of story and special effects.  That suits
me just fine actually.  I do hope to see a sequel to this
title, and one can be done.  The ending is sort of like in
the comics, the ending to issue 40 actually.  And they went
on for several more crossovers and issues, so that's NOT the
end for Jackie Estacado!
Let's get into it, shall we?
Come, embrace The Darkness...
=============================================================
Version History
June 28 2007 - Wrote out the FAQ and Tips section.  Filled in
all Achievements, and gave some pointers on the tougher single
player achievements to understand.
June 29 2007 - Beat several chapters on Normal more than once,
beat entire game on Normal Mode and found all the Outfits and
several collectables and numbers.  Added to my lists.  Was
bombarded by several positive people via email and Xbox Live.
Thanks for the input everybody!
June 30 2007 - Getting started on Hard Mode, beginning to
write out the walkthrough.  Over the past two days I have also
added to some of my lists, in the tips and FAQs section.
July 1 2007 - COMPLETED the guide!  Will list this version as
final but plan on updating in the future on small details and
hard to find items.  Posted to Gamefaqs.com today, will be up
by next site update.
=============================================================
2) General Tips and Hints
Just because you're the Darkness, doesn't mean you're an
invincible killing robot.  Take cover, use your FPS skills!
Aim for the head or other critical points when using guns.
A few well placed shots and your foes will drop you, powers
or not!
Never forget, when you lean around an object, or press up on
someone/thing/object, Jackie will aim his guns around them
sort of, giving you better accuracy.
If you go around sticking guns in people's faces, or if you
walk away from them while they speak to you about something
they find important, they may not be so friendly next time
around, so show some respect!
Use the Creeping Dark!  It can scout out new areas for foes,
stealth kill one or two in a group, making it easier on you,
or destroy lights, open doors, and unlock other areas other-
wise unavailble to you.  It IS weapon too, don't forget!
Hey, never forget you can do cool execution type moves for
almost ALL the guns, including shotguns, double kill with
two hand guns and differing left and right clicks (and double
click), and rifles of all types.  Keep those eyes open!
You can see how much ammo you have for all your guns at one
time by going to the Inventory screen (select button).
You can throw vehicles and other large objects at your foes!
Even if you don't kill em, it'll wound them and slow them
down enough for you to do harm.
While in shadow, The Darkness will feed upon the dark to
help restore expended power.  See below for more info.
The light is your enemy now.  In games were it used to help,
here it hurts in more ways than one.  Not only can bright
lights impair your vision, they help your foes see you!
Plus, they weaken you when in Darkness mode, thusly depleting
your shileds faster and making your attacks lesser.  Use
bullets, creeping dark, or the demon arm (my fave!) to take
out lights ASAP!  In a battle, this can mean the difference
between victory, and becoming a little red stain.
Doing side missions can help you learn maps better, get you
more guns, increase your darkness level (more hearts to eat),
get your collectable numbers, and add to the number of kills
with each type of power you have, plus other such achievements
, if you care about those.  Not only that, it gives you the
warm fuzzies inside, since Jackie Estacado beleives in doing
things the old school way, and helping out the neighborhood!
Darklings are good, from killing in various ways, to just
plain distracting foes away from your presence.  Don't forget!
There are five levels of Darkness power.  You need to consume
around 200 hearts to get the maximum power and energy.  This
can be done by the time you reach the Turkish baths, if you
do every side mission and eat every heart from the moment you
first can.  If not, don't worry, you will get it before the
you finish the game, if you just eat alot throughout.  Don't
forget to eat the hearts!  Trust me, the more energy you have,
the better.  It sustains your shields, and your skill to use
powers over and over (including ammo for the darkness guns!).
The black hole power is great.  Convienent, strong, etc.  But,
if you use it, count on your shield dropping almost every
time.  Meaning, be sure you kill everything in the room that
poses and threat to you, or you're probably going to die after
you leave yourself vulnerable for that short time.
To destroy the chopper, aim a black hole up out the skylight
window.  You'll know when and where.
There are phone numbers all over the walls, billboards, and
everywhere really.
Guess what?  When a human (usually a bad guy target) is around
the corner, or otherwise nearby you, you'll notice the
Creeping Dark heads rear up and snap or hiss towards them.
This is a great way of knowing whether or not a threat is
right around the corner, so that you can melee, use a shotgun,
or the Demon Arm (my personal favorite).
Need a subway train fast?  Stand on or very near the track,
it'll be there within seconds!
Know your weapons.  You may find yourself often swapping
weapons out, due to lost weapons, or losing the darkness
guns.  Since it autoswaps you to whatever weapons it finds
strongest, know your weapons in case this happens to you in
the middle of a fire fight.
Everything in this game can be reached through simple means.
You're never as lost as you might think you are.  Think of the
game's two subway stations as two hubs.  Use the transit
service machines if you feel lost.  I will go into detail on
where to find places in the guide as well.  Some things are
more well hidden than others.  Things like Gun Hill, and City
Hall station.  They are off the beaten path of the subways,
but still within the subways.  Keep this in mind while playing
the game and you might not feel as frustrated.
If you're stuck, and you just got a certain power, try using
it!  All over the place.  This is especially true for the
black hole power.  It can tear open walls, or bend barred
areas open in certain levels.
Stuck?  Section 3 is for you, my FAQ section!!
Can't reach a heart to eat or what not?  Don't forget the
Creeping Dark power!  That handy head can eat hearts on it's
own, pick up collectable papers, and ammo!
Canal is the first subway station.
Fulton is the second.
Fulton has two tunnels and utility access type points to go
further in the game, later on.
I will be writing this guide in Hard mode, so if you need any
tactics and tips for it, read on!
Pay attention to the select button and all the in game
tutorials, capiche?  This makes my job a bit easier here.
=============================================================
3) Hard to find stuff and FAQ section
I've noticed *alot* of help topics about the same things on
the boards.  So, let's get to those first eh?  There may be
spoilers in this section, just so you know.  I will cover
everything in the guide in full, but here's some ideas on
what to do and what may be wrong for a few of the tougher
spots.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Where are all the Darkling Outfits? See full guide when it's
up for more detail on these if you need it.
Broken sword: Broken Sword one is in Chinatown. As soon as you
get out of the subway. Walk straight up the stairs and
continue straight. It's right there.
Fireman: Grinder's Lane in the 261 room where you kill the
snitch Petey Pajama on the side mission.
Saw: Help the girl at the subway station (first one) get her
keys. She complains about being locked out of her apartment
by her boyfriend. You go to her apartment and it's there
(directions are given in this side mission).  See full guide
when it's up for more detail if you need it.
Sledgehammer: The last guy on Vinny's list. By Shrote's
apartment entrance. The open window with the guy who's
monitoring him. It's in there on the wall to the right.
Jackhammer: Going to City hall, in the abandoned subway car
before you get to the Turkish baths.
Golf Club: Any phone, dial 5664
2K: dial GAME (4263) at any phone.
Jungle Outfit: You need to restart Chapter One via checkpoint
menu at the main title screen.  Don't worry, while you lose
checkpoint save you won't lose chapter save and details on
your hearts eaten, etc when you restart where you last were.
This can ONLY be done during the section of the game, it's
blocked if you try to go back at any time after.
After you get past the first helicopter part
(after you first meet butcher) go through the pool hall.
After you exit the pool hall you should be in a place were
there is a bum who asks for money and you can also ask him
about dutch oven harry. Now there is a door on the LEFT wall,
above it is a vent that you can send the creeping dark
through. Go in there and you will see a hole in the vent.
You can't miss the hole. Anyways go down into the room were
there is a collectible and the jungle outfit (known as the
machete outfit).
--------------------------------------------------------------
Where are all the collectables, including the one's in Hell?
A disclaimer.  Between my two buddies and myself, we found ALL
these without using the strategy guide or any websites.  If
you have anything to add to it, I will most definately credit
you, just email me.  I am still missing all of the #40s as of
this update.  You can cover yourself and have most all of them
by calling all the phone numbers too, but some still slip
through the cracks.  Good luck searching, to everyone!

#80 - head back to the path and make sure Death is facing you,
head up the hill halfway and on the left should be a trench,
go through it and the letter is near its end
Sewers:
#17 - go up the stairs next to the sewer door you have to
drain, once on top, go into the right corner and send
creeping dark over the fence, the letter is straight below

#27 - before going into the cannon itself, head towards the
big gate, the letter is in the right corner
#68 - inside the cannon, on the first floor inside the second
room, the letter is underneath the walkway
#26 - once you're on top of the cannon, where the hatch to
the control booth is, face away from the hatch and use
creeping dark to climb up the cannon's right side (
from what you can see), the letter is there not on the
cannon itself but on top of some step like grooves, perhaps
the joint of the cannon
Gun Hill:
#21 - in a bookcase in Eddie Shrote's living room
#69 - right after exiting the door that leads from
Fulton Street Station, you'll see a small tin roof to your
right, the note is on top of that
#70 - after the helicopter blows out a piece of Shrote's
apartment, you'll drop down after using the ladder, the
note is in a corner across from you on this particular roof
top (not the next one!)
#71 - this note is right behind the stairwell that you exit
out from, on the roof that the helicopter takes off from and
attacks and where you later jump off of onto a crumbling
scaffold
City Hall:
#22 - by the Darkling Roadworker outfit, inside the old train
at the end of the path, just when you enter City Hall Station
#23 - in toilet stall before SWAT team ambush

#72 - after getting through the knife attackers, as you enter
the sewer line rife with traps, the letter is on a pipe grate
between the cinder block and flame traps
#73 - on top of a light bulb in the area where you drop down
into the corridor leading to the Turkish Baths ladder
#81 - left of the stairs behind Ernie Deval, where you
obtain the black hole power
Turkish Baths:
#24 - in the room with the briefcase, the note is behind the
fence
#25 - inside the sauna
#74 - in the general area where you have to use the
kamikaze darkling to blow open a path, the note is near the
iron gate that's by the blown opening (or Black Hole open)
#75 - on top of the scaffolding, near the paint buckets in
the large room with two floors and a skylight, the same area
where the SWAT later rappel in from
#82 - as you approach the briefcase room, take a right to
find a note lying on the floor
Castle Entrance:
#31 - in the armory bunker, the note is on the catwalk above
the shell cart
#32 - near the castle and across the plank bridge, the note
is behind one of the light pillars on the right
#33 - inside the castle, to the left, opposite of the stairs
to the darkness, the note is in a dirt pile
#76 - underneath the cart platform by the cannon
#77 - in front of the cannon and right before crossing the
wooden plank bridge to the castle, it's next to the left
light pillar
#78 - after leaving the cannon area to head to the village
and after passing through the narrow cliff path, there should

area, after you kill the goons in the parking lot
#94 - front of ship, underneath the stairs
These are the ones we're all still working on, and now you
can too!
?? #37 - Found in Chapters 1-4, any time at the Pier BEFORE
the plot takes you here.  Look for a bright sign that says
something like Hardware.  Use a Creeping Dark and get past a
shutter here to find it.
(Not confirmed by me just yet, but sounds about right)
?? #85 - I *think* it's as you exit the ship after you kill
the Capt... (something to do with a man sitting at the water's
edge that you can kick in?  Not confirmed just yet...)
?? #93 - beneath container where the workers argue
(I have CONFIRMED this one, must go there BEFORE Chapter 5
and use the Demon Arm on the crates in the way)

--------------------------------------------------------------
You SUCK!  And your &%$^@#$ guide sucks too!  What's wrong
with you?  These lists suck too!!!!
Not really a question either.  But no, I'd say I did pretty
okay on this guide.  And yes, as I have STATED PREVIOUSLY,
this list and guide is far from perfect.  This is a new game
as of my writing, and I'm doing my best, in my own free time.
Write a better guide, or at the very least TELL me what you
think is wrong so that I can work on it in this and other
future guides.  How many FAQ/Guides have you written?  Anyway,
relax, it's a video game.  And I'm not the only source of info
in town, there are still message boards for your well thought
out rantings and poor grammar skills.
--------------------------------------------------------------
When/where can I destroy a Helicopter?!
You will see a couple of sections with choppers in the start.
You can't fight them with regular guns, you need the black
hole power.
Not until the Turkish Baths section, use a Black Hole (right
bumper).
--------------------------------------------------------------
How do I shoot down those bloody Jerry planes?! (No offence
meant towards any Germans out there, I'm merely talking
about the Nazi Demons you face in this game, they aren't
even human characters)
You'll see them your first time in Hell, but, you can't shoot
them down like this.  You'll know when you can, as you'll be
manning large gun set on the back of a tank.  There are
probably around 15 planes total, maybe 12 or so.  All you need
are six, so don't beat yourself up if you miss the first one
or two, but go for the big groups and do your best to get all
those.  If you pass the checkpoint, there will be ONE more
plane left to shoot.
-------------------------------------------------------------
How do I complete the final hit for Vinny!?
When you first go to kill Shrote, you'll head into an elevator
area.  Back out of the little indention that leads to him and
turn right.  See the wall that says Mace!, vaugely?  It helps
if you left the lights on.  The first window, on the left,
lowest floor should be wide open and whitish with a faint
glowing.  If it's not, go back to the subway and speak with
Vinny again.  He'll give you the mission, yet again.  Wait
for the objective marker to reappear, turn around and rush
back to the area I've described.  The window should now be
wide open.  Also, in here, is a Berserker outfit.  You must
use the creeping arm with right bumper to slither up in there.
--------------------------------------------------------------
How do I move the bell after speaking to Anthony and heading
to The Hills?
Simply use the Demon Arm.  Remember, it doesn't just whip,
hold down the right bumper to grab objects.  This counts for
cars, and even people as well!
-------------------------------------------------------------
How do I get out of the room with Deval's brother?
(Obtained Black Hole)
You should have just recieved the black hole power, yes?  Use
it on the barred door behind where he was, to suck an opening
out for yourself.  If you can't get up to where he was, use
the black hole power lower in the room to make the boxes in
the corner move out.  Then manually push them by walking into
them, for a boost to your jump.
--------------------------------------------------------------
How do I kill all or most of the workers in the tunnel at the
start sequence?  I want the achievement!
Roadkill is a tough one.  Go to your options and set your auto
aim slider all the way over to help.  Keep in mind you never
have to reload (somehow!) and you have unlimited shots to boot
, and you might start to have a chance.  I know it's tedious,
but you may have to restart several times and memorize the
locations of the men until you find a video of this section
or something.  Some people say you only need four kills, but
that didn't work for me, I give five and still nothing.  So
try for six.  I think there are a total of nine men, but there
may be only be like seven.  Good luck!
--------------------------------------------------------------
How do I mail letters from Hell?
Simple!  When you return to the real world, you'll find
normal, blue mailboxes all over the city.  Any one of them
will allow you to use the A button when you're close enough
and have letters to send.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Where is the bracelet, how do I get all four coins on the
tracks?
I put these together as they're nearby one another and on
tracks, having you "race" the trains.  Ok, for the bracelet,
watch the woman, see where she leans?  Try hoping down real
fast, and looking at the ground near there, sort of to the
right of her, while pressing A repeatedly.  Keep doing this,
you will eventually get it.  It IS there once you speak to
her to start the mission.
For the coins, speak to the lady, go on and jump down, and
watch where she throws them.  Quickly rush where you saw them
go, pressing A rapidly.  After around two or so tries, you
should have the hang of this.  Keep talking to her to restart
if you need to.  Be quick, you have around six seconds to
safely live and get them all.  Repetetion is key really.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Where is the key to get to City Hall Station?  For that
matter, where is the gate?
First off, go to the gate.  It's in Fulton Station.  Follow
the tracks until getting to a gated door with a man next to
it (Deval).  He gives you a sidequest about his brother.
Anywho, turn directly around and look for the bathroom on THIS
side of the tracks.  Inside, you'll see a door that's locked
and says out of order.  Kick it in with A button, search
the toliet for the key to the gate.
--------------------------------------------------------------
How do I get Heart of Gold, Ghandi, Romantic, Darkness Master,
etc?
Check my achievements section at the bottom for details.
For the record, some of these can be found within your own
game menu, via achievemnts.  NOT the guide button used via
your controller, the actual in game section under
achievements.
-------------------------------------------------------------
How do I get out of Hell in repeating sections?
(just got Darkness Guns)
Try turning off your powers and backtracking.  Also, read
your mission menu using the select button for hints.  It
usually says where to go, and that usually says to go back.
For better detail, see the main guide when it's up.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Whoa, I just got mugged!
Again, not really a question.  Yes though, people sometimes
try to stick you up.  Other times you might play the entire
game and not see this.  All you have to do, is what you do
best...heh heh heh...

Unfortunately, you only get *nearly* 75% from all those above.
You need to find all the Hell letters for more and mail them
