Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a sci-fi action game where players embody a hero in 23rd-century New York City. They must gather elemental powers to combat an ancient, universe-ending evil that threatens all life every five millennia.
Story
Introduction
Every five thousand years, a door opens between the dimensions. In one dimension lies the universe and all of its multitude of varied life forms. In another exists an element made not of earth, air, fire or water, but of anti-energy, anti-life.
This thing, this darkness is not interested in money or power. This Pure Evil awaits patiently at the threshold of our universe for an opportunity to extinguish all light and all life.
Every five thousand years, the four basic elements have to be gathered around a fifth... The Fifth Element: the perfect being. Every five thousand years, mankind needs a hero to save the world.
In 23rd century New York City, the fate of the Universe is in your hands.

Shield Power
A blue shield power meter will be displayed beside your health meter. Any beam or bullet attack will reduce your shield power instead of your health.
When the shield activates, you will see a spherical blue corona effect surrounding your character and your blue shield meter will shrink towards the bottom of the screen. Once your shield is down, further attacks will reduce your health.
Inventory
Anything that you pick up will automatically be placed in your inventory. You can pick up items by walking over them or pressing the O button while standing near them.
All inventory items, except weapons, are selected automatically. If a particular item is useful in a certain situation and it is in your inventory, simply pressing the O button is sufficient to trigger its use.
Weapons and ammunition must be specifically selected. Pressing R1 while holding Select will change weapons. Pressing R2 while holding Select will change ammunition. Note that Leeloo's grenades are treated like ammunition - press R2 while holding Select to change the selected grenade type.
Psionic Attack Charge
Leeloo's psionic attack can be triggered by simultaneously pressing X, and ↑. The powerful blast will neutralize all sentient beings in sight.
Since the attack is so draining, she must recharge it before using it again. Pick-up a psionic energy power-up to recharge it. If charged, a pulsing white circle will appear in the transparent green panel in the lower right corner of the screen.
