Extracted from the original game manual

This is a first-person shooter game where players assume the role of an Allied agent in 1943, tasked with infiltrating Nazi strongholds to prevent Heinrich Himmler from resurrecting an ancient evil army. Players will engage in stealth and combat to thwart Himmler's occult plans and stop the creation of modern-day Dark Knights.

Story

INTRODUCTION

In the ninth century A.D., the pre-Christian Saxon prince Heinrich sought to forge an independent Germanic state, separate from the powerful Frankish dynasty. Having discovered and translated ancient texts from the East, he became convinced that his people were the direct descendants of Thule, a race of pure consciousness. He believed that he could tap into the power of Thule.

Indeed he did, raising up a vast army of the evil undead, led by Dark Knights whom he anointed in bizarre, sinister rituals. Though the power of Thule had not been intended for evil, Heinrich harnessed it with sheer will, bending the power against all who would oppose him.

Legend suggests that in 943 A.D. a mysterious and powerful monk finally stood against Heinrich and his army of Dark Knights. Following a fierce and bloody battle, this lone monk enshrined Heinrich in a living tomb at the top of a remote mountain peak. Knowing that evil of this kind cannot be destroyed -- only contained -- he marked and sealed the ground with the curses of the ancient texts forbidding any human ever to enter the tomb.

The rise of fascism in Germany in the twentieth century brought with it a fascination in the occult. Under direct orders to achieve world domination at all costs, Hitler's henchmen sought unorthodox measures to gain the upper hand on the Allies. Some worked on chemical weapons, others on the jet engine, still others on long-range missiles. But Hitler's lead henchman, head of the SS, Heinrich Himmler, took the most drastic measures of all.

Over time, Himmler became convinced that he could raise Heinrich from the dead, and in doing so, would possess the power to command an army of the undead against the Allies. He began methodically researching how to approach the dark ritual, throwing scores of scientists, great caches of wealth and the full power of the Nazi war machine behind his effort. Month after month, he got closer. By 1943, many of the pieces were in place including the all-important location of Heinrich's grave.

WOLFENSTEIN LORE

Silas Warner's classic Apple II game, Castle Wolfenstein, was released in 1983. The game was far from a 3D shooter, requiring more stealth than gunplay. The player's mission was to infiltrate Nazi headquarters in disguise, plant a bomb outside the door to Hitler's bunker, and make it out before the bomb exploded.

CURRENT STATUS

March, 1943 -- OSA intelligence reports have linked Himmler's quest for ancient texts on occult rituals to recent Nazi activity in Africa. Evidence exists that Himmler has sent operatives from a newly formed "SS Paranormal division" into a small village in Northern Egypt.

In Europe, Himmler has already located Heinrich's tomb and is in possession of other ancient texts. He is searching for a serum in a hidden grave which he plans to use to create modern day Dark Knights. OSA intelligence suggests that although Himmler has not yet succeeded, reports of occult experimentation and genetic mutation indicate that he is close, very close.

Health

The amount of damage you can take. The default maximum is 100. As you are shot or injured, this number decreases. If the number reaches 0, you die. Picking up health packs and food increases your health.

Protection

Helmets and other pieces of protection (i.e., flak-jackets) can be found throughout the game. The default maximum is 100. When you take damage, some of the impact is absorbed by the protection you wear.

WOLFENSTEIN LORE

The four-man id team worked six months to develop Wolf 3D, finishing it from an apartment in Mesquite, Texas in 1992.

Hint Icon

An icon in the middle of the screen indicates you can interact with an object in the scene. See the Hint Icon section for details.

The Notebook icon appears when your notebook is updated. When you see this icon, be sure to read your notebook.

Clip Ammo

Tips & Maps

JUMPING/CROUCHING

Jump to dodge enemy fire and reach inaccessible areas. Crouch to take cover, crawl into low-lying windows or vents, move quietly, and perform stealth attacks.

LEANING

Lean to look around a corner without being spotted by the enemy. To lean, move to the edge of a corner and hold the ACTIVATE key in conjunction with the movement left or right button.

SWIMMING

To swim, point yourself in the desired direction using LOOK controls and then use MOVE controls. Press the JUMP button to swim up, but remember to breathe as staying underwater too long will cause you to drown.

STEALTH AND TAKING COVER

Employ stealth tactics to complete missions, as going in with guns blazing will lead to death. Some situations require waiting for the right moment to sneak up behind an enemy or sneak past unobserved, and some missions depend entirely on not being spotted.

Kicking in doors

Kicking in doors allows you to open them quickly, but it's loud and will likely draw a lot of attention.

Taking cover

Taking cover will help you stay alive; use CROUCH to hide behind objects and lean to peer around them.

ALARM

When an alarm is sounding, the enemy will be ready for you. You can turn off alarm sirens from any nearby alarm box by activating it or by simply destroying the box.

PICKING UP ITEMS

Weapons, ammo, treasure, and many other items can be picked up by walking on them or by getting near them and pressing the ACTIVATE button.

USING THE ANALOG STICK

Utilizing either of your analog sticks to look around is fundamental to mastering Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and you can adjust looking and turning speed with sensitivity sliders in the Controls Options menu.

The flamethrower is very effective against zombies.

BACKSTAB

If the knife is your current weapon, sneak up behind an enemy to activate the BACKSTAB icon, and a quick thrust will swiftly dispatch your foe.

The EXIT hint

The EXIT hint shows when you're near the end of a level, displaying a summary of completed mission objectives, secrets found, treasure acquired, attempts, and time taken.

The HAND icon

The HAND icon appears when you can pick something up; if you run over or stand next to an item and use the ACTIVATE button, it will be picked up.

Maximum items

If you already have the maximum of a particular item, you can't pick up more, but you can return to replenish your ammo or health once they have run low.

HEALTH

Health can be found in a variety of forms, most commonly First Aid Kits, Hot Meals, and Cold Meals.

WEAPONS

The majority of the firepower you need to defeat the enemy can be found in the field, so be sure to pick up weapons from fallen enemies.

AMMO

Picking up weapons from fallen enemies gives you the weapon and the ammo; if you already have that type of weapon, you'll pick up the ammunition only.



Items & Weapons

Designed for commandos and secret operatives, this double-edged knife is balanced for close quarters hand-to-hand combat. Sneaking up behind an enemy allows you to kill silently and swiftly.

The standard German side arm, this 9mm pistol is quite lethal and accurate at close range. You may also find a silencer for stealth.

This .45 caliber pistol Model 1911 is standard issue for Allied forces and is lethal and accurate at close range. If you find a second Colt, both weapons can be dual wielded for double the firepower.

This Maschinenpistole entered active service for German troops in 1940 and is highly accurate at medium to close ranges. Its 32-round magazine capacity is more than enough to dispense a group of enemies efficiently.

This stripped down military adaptation of the M1928A1 is a .45 caliber weapon that does a bit more damage than the MP-40 but has a smaller magazine capacity at 30 rounds.

Constructed entirely out of steel, this is the most powerful sub-machine gun in Return to Castle Wolfenstein, indispensable for covert missions, but it overheats with prolonged use.

This rifle is highly accurate at longer distances and has enough stopping power to kill with one shot. The bolt action limits successive rounds, so take cover before revealing your position.

Once the Mauser is fitted with a scope, you have the power and accuracy to take out enemy units from long range. Utilizing this weapon at the appropriate times benefits your overall health.

This rifle offers the range and power of a sniper rifle with the stealth of a silenced weapon, making covert missions less daunting. It is extremely powerful but no louder than a whisper.

The German paratrooper rifle model 1942 is a well-balanced weapon, utilizing the same 7.92x57mm round as the Mauser, and includes a ZFG 42 telescope sight for sniping capabilities.

You have access to both pineapple grenades (American) and stick grenades or potato mashers (German), both highly effective at scattering enemies. Be careful not to hold them too long or you'll be blown up with them.

TNT is a special item for demolition work; once set, don't stick around to admire your work as the large blast radius will end your mission with a bang!

Normally used to destroy tanks, this single-round weapon is very useful against opposition in later missions, but ammo is limited, so don't waste shots on single enemy units unless it's an X-Creature.

The GP-VG MK2 uses a 12.7mm light armor-piercing round and has the fastest cyclic rate of all projectile weapons, but like the Sten, you must watch the red bar for overheating.

A combination of gasoline, pressurized gas, and glue, this weapon produces a version of Hell that can be worn on your back. Be careful not to get engulfed in the flames yourself, as they will slowly eat away at your health and obscure your vision.

This technology is based on powerful guided electrical fields, drawing energy from electric cells with a maximum capacity of 500. It can target multiple enemies, making it valuable during a crowded firefight, but it does not affect X-Creatures.
