LIFE BAR OVERLAY
The Life Bar Overlay in the top-left corner of the screen will fade out after a short period of time where the player does not attack or get attacked. It returns when the player attacks or takes damage.
LIFE
A red horizontal bar represents Ash's life. When the player is in control of Sam, his life is represented by a blue horizontal bar below Ash's.
When Ash or Sam is taking damage, the skull will change its expression and the life bar will deplete. Collecting Life Essence dropped by enemies, objects in the environment or from special health-giving sacred symbols will refill the life bar.
INNER EVIL
Evil Essence fills the vertical meter, which looks like a spine below the life bar. Evil Essence allows Ash to transform into Evil Ash or to perform a charged kick with Sam turning him into a flying bomb.
Ash does not have this ability at the beginning of the game, and must work his way into the game before gaining Evil Essence.
SAM POSSESSION SYMBOL
To take possession of Sam, locate and activate the blue Sacred Symbols placed in the worlds.
SAVE GAME
To save game progress, locate and activate the greenish-yellow Sacred Symbols placed in the worlds.
NECRONOMICON PAGES
To unlock bonus content, locate the lost pages of the Necronomicon hidden throughout the environment.

Tips & Maps
SAVE GAME
The game can be saved at greenish-yellowish Sacred Symbols throughout levels or when a level is completed.
PAUSE MENU
Allows players to resume the game, load from a previous save, adjust game settings, calibrate video, or quit to the Main Menu.
SPECIAL MOVES
Ash can perform various special or combined attacks by pressing a series of attack buttons, especially with the chainsaw equipped.
FINISHING MOVES
When a Deadite is low on health, indicated by greenish vapor, Ash can finish it off by pressing the button when in close proximity.
EVIL ASH
Ash can transform into Evil Ash by collecting enough Evil Essence, becoming bigger, stronger, and faster, and inflicting more damage.
KICK SAM
Ash can kick Sam onto manually targeted objects for environmental puzzles or to attack specific enemies, especially larger Deadites or those out of reach.
POWER BLOW
Holding down the button with the chainsaw equipped causes Ash to wind up for a strong blow that launches enemies into the air.
JUGGLING ENEMIES
Ash can keep enemies launched into the air by repeatedly shooting them with the pistol or shotgun, which is a good way to gather extra Life and Evil Essence.
WEAPONS
Ash uses various firearms including a .45 Automatic pistol, a Sawed-Off 12 Gauge shotgun, and a Bomb-Lance.
.45 AUTOMATIC
A semi-automatic pistol with a high rate of fire and good range, though Deadites can withstand many hits.
SAWED-OFF 12 GAUGE
Ash's trusty double-barreled shotgun packs a powerful punch but loses accuracy with range and has a longer reload time than the pistol.
BOMB-LANCE
Fires an explosive lance with a timed fuse that sticks into enemies and explodes, often finishing them in one shot, and can blast through damaged walls.
Items & Weapons
CHAINSAW
A custom prosthetic fitting keeps this sturdy chainsaw firmly attached to Ash's right arm. The chainsaw is ideal for close-quarters Deadite slaying, as well as smashing crates and wooden obstacles.
HARPOON GUN
Fires a spike attached to a long cable which impales and reels in enemies for Ash to launch off, or to shoot with a left hand weapon.
FLAMETHROWER
This weapon emits a stream of fire at enemies- or Sam. Ash moves slowly while using this weapon and must use it sparingly as it will overheat with continued use.
LIFE ESSENCE PICK-UP (RED)
Dropped by defeated enemies and certain objects in the environment, Life Essence refills a portion of Ash's health. Life Essence automatically seeks Ash when he is nearby.
EVIL ESSENCE PICK-UP (ORANGE)
Also dropped by defeated enemies and objects in the environment, Evil Essence feeds Ash's Inner Evil. Like Life Essence, Evil Essence automatically seeks Ash when he is nearby.
LIFE BAR / UPGRADE SYMBOL
To increase Ash's Life Bar capacity as well as fill it, locate and activate the red Sacred Symbols placed in the worlds.
INNER EVIL BAR / UPGRADE SYMBOL
To increase Ash's Inner Evil capacity, locate and activate the orange Sacred Symbols placed in the worlds.
