Hi, my name is Ryan aka Sonictrainer and this is the second guide I have made and posted online and the first full walkthrough I have ever done for any game.

Sonic the Hedgehog is a videogame icon who has been around for over 17 years. From his first game in 1991, he has become very popular to gamers in the United States, Japan, and other areas in the world. Besides games he has also had 4 animated series, a movie, and a comic book made by Archie Comics. Right now, Sonic Unleashed is his latest adventure in the videogames.

In the beginning, we watch as Sonic infiltrates Eggmans space armada. When Sonic uses the 7 Chaos Emeralds to transform into Super Sonic, Eggman quickly tries to escape into a strange looking spaceship. Once Super Sonic catches up to Eggman, Eggman pleads for forgiveness. It seems that the battle is pretty much won so Sonic agrees to let Eggman go and begins to leave. But then Eggman pulls a switch and an energy cage forms around Sonic. The machines that released the cage now separate Sonic and the Chaos Emeralds, as Eggman reveals the space ship is actually some sort of cannon. He then uses the energy coming from Sonic and the emeralds and fires a ray at the Earth. The results of this cause the planet to break up into pieces, floating above the Earths core, while awakening a dark energy being known as Dark Gaia. Since Super Sonic was being used to power the energy transfusion, Sonics body absorbed some of Dark Gaias power causing a new transformation everyone now calls the Werehog. Happy to accomplish his plans, Eggman ejects Sonic and the drained Chaos Emeralds, sending them towards the Earths atmosphere. Dark Gaia then spreads his essence over the entire planet

Sonic the Hedgehog- a blue hedgehog whos well known for his superpower: speed. Sonic can run faster than the speed of sound and enjoys travel and going on adventures. He can also use his speed to curl into a ball, spin, and cut through different materials including metal. Although he is impatient sometimes, he always helps those in need and hates to see injustice. His only weakness is water. At high speeds, he can hydroplane, but he cant swim.

Sonic the Werehog- since Super Sonic was being used to power the energy transfusion, Sonics body absorbed some of Dark Gaias power causing this transformation. Due to the fact Dark Gaias power becomes active at night explains why Sonic only turns into this form once he isnt exposed to extreme sunlight. In this form, Sonic gains more upper body strength and his limbs can expand and stretch out over certain distances. Though he cant break the sound barrier at night, he can dish out punches, kicks, and other devastating blows in a matter of seconds.

Chip- He is a strange little creature that looks like a purple and white dog with wings. Sonic found him after somehow surviving his fall from space and believes that caused his amnesia. Although Chip forgot who he is, he seems to have knowledge of Sonics abilities, places, and points out things people would probably miss. He also loves to eat sweet foods and seems to have an endless supply of chocolate. As Sonic saves the planet, Chip will eventually recover his memories and his purpose.

Tails (Miles Prower) the Fox- Sonics best friend whos IQ and mechanical abilities almost mess those of Dr. Eggmans. His real name is Miles Prower but he was given the nicknames Tails due to the fact that he has 2 instead of 1. He can use them to spin like a propeller and fly around for periods of time. When traveling long distances or to airborne places, Tails uses his biplane The Tornado, which he has modified over past adventures. In this game, he repainted it its original Red color and made a spot for Sonic to stand and fire weaponry at enemies.

Amy Rose- A pink Hedgehog who believes she is Sonics girlfriend. Its wise not to make her angry otherwise she will go into her own form of Unleash Mode and attack with her Piko Piko Hammer, which she can create out of thin air. She loves Sonic so much that she has mistaken other male hedgehogs for him. Sonic became depressed when she didnt recognize him in his Werehog form.

Prof Pickle- a Professor at Spagonia University that is the leading expert on Dark Gaia. He loves cucumber sandwiches.

Dr. Eggman (Ivo Robotnik)- a mad scientist is who bent on taking over the world. His plan to create a place called Eggmanland which will be his base of operations as he sends attacks around the world. As always, Sonic is the only thing standing is the way of his dreams. Will that be the same case this time?

Dark Gaia- a dark energy being that slept inside the core of the planet. He was awakened when Eggman used the Chaos Emeralds to separate the planet. Since it wasnt the Time of Awakening, he couldnt maintain his body, so when the planet split into pieces, he did too. Every Dark Gaia minion you encounter during the nighttime is a part of Dark Gaia. Some of them became stronger and changed shape by feeding on peoples negative actions and emotions.

In this game, Sonic has some of his old abilities from past games and some new ones, especially in his Werehog form. This game also has an experience system which can be used to level up his current abilities in either form.

This is Sonics regular form and the form he uses during the daytime.

Moves

These are all the moves Sonic the Hedgehog can do.

Move Around: To walk and run move the Left Analog stick in the direction you want to go.

Crouch/Spin Kick: Press the B Button when not moving or on a rail to crouch down. Move the Left Analog stick too to crawl. Use this to dodge and to get under places when you forget to slide.

Slide: Press the B Button when running to slide under certain areas.

Jump: Press the A Button while standing or running to jump. Depending on how hard you press down the button affects how high he jumps. If you press it lightly he hops, if you press it harder he jumps his highest.

Homing Attack: The Buttons for the homing attack have been changed in this game. First press the A button first and then move the left analog button to choose a target and press X to hit it.

Sonic Boost: Press the X Button when the Ring Energy has is filled to move faster, destroy incoming enemies, and run on water. If you press A while still holding the X Button, you can jump hile still keeping speed. Any rings Sonic pass will be drawn towards him.

Sonic Drift: To turn around certain curves in certain levels use the B/LT/RT to turn while still running. Hold the B to for long turns, and hold the LT (turning left)/RT (turning right) while doing close turns. Note: This move takes some practice. You can also do this move while still boosting.

Stopping: In order to stop running or slow down, move the Left Analog in the opposite direction that Sonic is running.

Ring Energy: This is the gauge shown on the bottom of the screen. When its empty Sonic cannot perform regular boosts or Air Boosts. To fill it up, collect rings and destroy enemies.

Bobsled/Roller Coaster Car: In Cool Edge, Sonic will use these to travel down icy slopes. The controls change slightly. Left Analog Stick- Tilt it to the left or right to slide in that direction. Learn to use your momentum to your advantage. A: Press it to jump.

Similar to the Sonic Adventure games, there are Power-Up items that Sonic needs in order to progress in the story, get all Collectible items, and play certain DLC Acts. In this game, they recognized as Shoes that can be found in 4 different Entrance Stages. They only affect Sonics Hedgehog form.

1. Stomping Shoes

• Description: Hefty shoes made of steel. The spikes on the soles make them even more devastating.
• Location: Holoska Entrance Stage during the Daytime
• Ability: Stomp
• In order to do a stomp, press the B button once after jumping.

2. Wall Jump Shoes

• Description: Shoes with coils in the soles that put a spring in your step, literally.
• Location: Spagonia Entrance Stage during the Daytime
• Ability: Wall Jump
• In order to do a wall jump, press the A button as soon as you touch a high area of a wall. Press A again as soon as you jump to the other wall on the opposite and again to reach the top of the walls.

Note: I found this ability to be very useful, especially when combined with the Air Boost Ability. In certain areas where you accidently run off a platform to certain death, Sonic can Wall jump to stop his fall, Air Boost to reach the other wall, and repeat to eventually get to safety. Watch your timing though.

3. Air Boost Shoes

• Description: Shoes as light as a feather. They even let you accelerate even in midair.
• Location: Chun-nan Entrance Stage during the Daytime
• Ability: Air Dash
• In order to do an Air Dash, press the X button once after jumping or while in midair while the Boost Gauge is filled.

Note: Once you have this ability, be very careful when trying to do Homing Attacks. If you dont remember to move the Left Analog stick, Sonic will fly past his target to his death.

4. Light Speed Dash Shoes

• Description: Sparkling golden shoes. They're made with the same material as Rings.
• Location: Shamar Entrance Stage during the Daytime
• Ability: Light Speed Dash aka Ring Dash
• In order to do a Ring Dash, press the Y button when youre near a row of rings.

Note: This move has changed since the past games. Sonic will only follow a trail of rings in the form of a horizontal line, not in a circle.

This is a new form Sonic turns into when night falls.

Moves

These are all the moves Sonic the Werehog can do.

Walk: To walk around, use the Left Analog stick in the direction you want to go.

Dash: To dash, hold the LT or RT while moving the Left Analog stick.

Jump/Double Jump: Press the A Button to jump. Press the A Button again after jumping, in midair, to do a double jump. Note: The double jump gets more height and distance while Sonic is moving.

Dash Jump: While Dashing press the A to do a wide jump. Some areas require this move in order to for Sonic to access them. There are also moves that Sonic can learn that require this technique.

Straight Attack: Press the Y Button to attack enemies from a distance who are in front of Sonic.

Wide Attack: Press the X Button to attack enemies who are close and surrounding Sonic.

Sonic can grab and carry different things by pressing the B Button, but the Buttons change depending on whats being held. Press the X Button when trying to grab large enemies to cancel the grab.

A: Jump while holding the enemy

B: Smash the enemy into the ground. It hurts other enemies who are in the way.

X: Throw the enemy. A cursor normally appears when other enemies are around so you can throw it at them.

Holding Y: Swing an enemy, hitting all surrounding enemies in the way. A cursor will appear showing where the enemy will be thrown. You cant swing forever so choose a target.

Note: When you have one small enemy, you can grab another small enemy, and carry both in each hand. The controls are the same as holding a single enemy.

A: Jump while holding them Repeatedly B: Sonic swings the enemy in front and back into the ground, hitting anything in the way X: Same as Small Enemies Holding Y: Same as Small Enemies

Note: After a while enemies may break free of Sonics grasp if you wait too long or get attacked.

Jump Grab: After jumping, press B to grab an enemy, to jump up. Mostly used on Dark Bats.

A: Jump while holding it

B: Gently set it down

X: Throw it

Repeatedly Press Y: Do a combo where Sonic swings it

Note: When holding something, press LT/RT to move faster.

Sonic can grab ledges and climb around the side. Opposite Direction of where the pole is + A: Jump in that direction

Sonic has to walk across these to get to certain areas. Sonic can hang on the side of them like the regular Ledges, but some cant be grabbed or have spikes on them. If you move Sonic to a point where he starts to tilt back and forth, move to keep his balance, because if he stays in that position for a certain amount of time he will fall. Sonic can hop across certain corners, if you check the distance first.

A: Jump off

Left Analog (Up) + A: Sonic climbs up the pole faster

A: Jump off

X/B: Let go of the pole

Up + A: Jump up above the pole Left + A: Jump to the left of the pole Right + A: Jump to the right of the pole Opposite Direction of where the pole is + A: Jump in that direction

LB: Shield

This creates a shield that protects Sonic from certain attacks. If your shield breaks, it will slowly recover. There are some techniques that Sonic can do after shielding.

RB: Unleash Mode

Once the Dark Gaia Force goes past the White marker in the Unleash Gauge, you can go into Unleash Mode. When Sonic enters this mode, he becomes stronger, faster, and immune to most enemies attacks. Use it wisely, because once you enter Unleash Mode you cannot get out of it until the gauge is empty.

These are finishing QTE moves Sonic can pull off on certain enemies after theyve taken damage and have an icon above their heads that look like a burning arrow, facing up. To do a Critical Attack stand near the enemy with the icon, press the B Button, and press the Buttons that show up before the line makes a complete circle.

• Critical Attacks are different for every enemy
• doing a Critical Attack gives more experience than when you normally defeat enemies. However, some enemies are sent flying and made release their Chaos Orbs near bottomless pits
• If you fail a Critical Attack, you will take damage instead while the enemy you tried it on will recover full health
• the time it takes to pull off Critical Attacks changes depending on how much health the enemy has left. Really low health enemies have longer time periods for Critical Attacks
• If youre trying to perform a grab instead of a Critical Attack, knock them to the ground and then grab them
• While doing a Critical Attack you will be unaffected by outside attacks until the QTE is over

At the beginning of the game the Werehog starts out with a few attack combos. As you increase his Combat Stat (See Experience in Section 4), more effective and stronger techniques are added. To see what moves the Werehog can do, press the Start Button, and choose the option skills. On this menu, it splits all the combos into 4 categories and shows the Button sequences.

There are different varieties of items that can be collected and used in this game.

These are items that can easily be found throughout Entrance Stages and Acts.

Rings: Rings are the most important item to collect in the Daytime levels because they allow Sonic to take hits from enemies, spikes, bombs, and other obstacles that do damage. If Sonic is hit when he doesnt have any rings, he will lose one life. This doesnt apply to the Werehog but collecting rings will replenish his life bar. When you collect 100 Rings, you will get an extra life. Also, all rings you collect in Entrance Stages, Acts, and Missions can be used to buy items from shops.

10 Rings: These rings are 10 rings in 1. When the Werehog collects these his health goes up more.

Hint Rings: If you touch these, Chip will give you a hint about how to use certain abilities, items, gimmicks, enemies, and other things.

Heal Ring: These are rings that have green crystals inside of them. When Sonic touches them, his health bar becomes full. They appear when you hit and destroy things and defeat enemies during the Night Acts.

Chaos Orbs: These are yellow diamonds that appear after defeating enemies. These add experience to your Experience Gauge.

Dark Gaia Force: These are white and purple balls that appear when you hit and destroy things and defeat enemies during the Night Acts. Collecting these will fill your Unleash Gauge. The ones that glow brightly will make your Unleash Gauge full.

Shield Charge: They resemble the shield counter above the Unleash Gauge and be found inside certain objects in Night Acts. These fully refill your shield counter.

Power Shield: These are floating shields that can be found inside certain objects in Night Acts. They give Sonic an aqua green glow and lower the amount of damage he takes from enemies for a period of time.

Super Claw: These are floating Claw Gloves, that can be found inside certain objects in Night Acts. This gives Sonic a red glow and increases the power in his attacks towards enemies for a period of time.

These are items that Sonic must use to get around in stages. Some allow him to find secret items and shortcuts.

These appear only in the Day Acts and send Sonic to other points. He can home attack them from a distance. There are 4 types of springs:

• Regular- these are red, round, and have a yellow star on them. Simply touch them to be taken to other areas. Some are floating while some are on the ground.
• QTE- these are blue. Hitting these will send Sonic flying towards pads that require one button to be pressed in order for Sonic to jump off them. If the pads have a button on them, you always have to press that button each time you play that Act. If it has a ?/Question mark, then it will always be random
• Flip- these look like regular springs, but they on spikes under them. After a period of time they flip over and the spikes be hit instead of the spring. Be careful!
• Egg- these are red, rectangular, and have Eggmans icon on them. They laugh when you hit them and are normally placed to block you or send towards obstacles and bottomless pits.

Dash Panels: These are red devices that make Sonic move faster and increase speed in a certain direction in Day Acts. There is also a type that appears on rails.

These are circular devices that send Sonic in a certain direction depending on what Button you press. The button normally shown is the one that sends Sonic on the regular path. However, where the Button sends you is the same for all of them:

• A: Sends Sonic up into the air
• X: Sends Sonic in the direction the device was originally facing
• B: Sonic goes down

If you dont press any Buttons after a period of time, it will drop Sonic down

These appear in Day Acts. Depending on whether Sonic is boosting or not when he runs through them affects how high Sonic is sent into the air. The white and yellow ramps trigger a QTE where you have to hit 3 or more Buttons to send Sonic on a higher path. If you press the wrong button or dont press them all in time, Sonic takes a lower path or dies.

These are big wide rings that Sonic can jump through in Day Acts. The Red ones send Sonic flying in a certain direction. The Rainbow ones do the same thing but give 1000 points the first time Sonic goes through them. Sometimes they lead to shortcuts and items.

There are 6 types of switches in the game that have to be triggered to continue the story or find shortcuts:

• Step- stand on these once to make something happen. Some require having items being put on top in order to keep a door open. In Adabat, there is also a Flower type, in which Sonic has to *step on them in order of which a flower grows.
• Stomp- once you get the Stomping Shoes, Sonic can use the stomp on green switches that go into the ground during Day Acts
• Balloon- these are white balls on red poles that have targets on them. They appear during Night Acts. All of them have to be hit at the same time to trigger something.
• Levers- only the Werehog can pull these. Some come in a turntable style and move back to their original position after a period of time
• Throw- at night, Sonic has to throw enemies at these to activate platforms. They are familiar in Mazuri
• Stone Keys and Alters- In some Night Acts, Sonic will have to find and put the Stone Keys in the Stone Alters of the same color. Once all the Alters are filled, it triggers something

There are many types of poles that Sonic can use during the Day and Night:

• Spring Poles- these appear on the sides during the daytime. Landing on the red part will send Sonic the highest
• Swing Poles- during the day Sonic can home attack and swing into these poles to get across. Press A at the right time and do it quickly, because he wont spin forever. In Night Acts, Sonic can swing from these (See Section 2).

Side Poles- at Night Sonic can use these to scale the walls (See Section 2) Fling Poles- these appear with a circle in the ground next to them. Stand on the circle and repeatedly press the B button to send Sonic flying. You can only use these at Night. Climb Poles- Werehog only (See Section 2) Some of these poles break after being used once or pop in and out after a period of time. Use them quickly.

There are some items Sonic can move around the stage:

• Movable Crate- Sonic can move these in order to jump on them. At night, press B to grab them and LT/RT to move faster while moving it.
• Barrels/Crates- Night Acts Only (See Section 2)

These are items that can be collected throughout the game by searching through the Town Stages, Entrance Stages, Acts, buying them from the shops, or getting them as rewards for Missions. Once you get them, you can leave a level if you choose to.

These are collectibles that allow you to unlock new Acts in the Entrance Stages. Sun Medals unlock Day Acts and the Moon Medals unlock Night Acts. When you collect them, your Sun and Moon levels will go up. Certain Gaia Gates (portals to Acts) only open once youve reach a certain Sun or Moon level. For example, in order to open Sun Level 4 Gaia Gates, your Sun Level has to be 4 or higher. In order to collect Medals you have to find them in the Town Stages, Entrance Stages, Acts, Missions, and even by giving Prof Pickle a souvenir. If you see a medal thats transparent, that means youve already collected it. There are 200 of each kind of Medal so there 400 medals that can be collected. Notes:

• in the Town stages, Moon Medals will only appear during the Day and Sun Medals only appear during the night.
• Day Acts have more Moon Medals than Sun Medals and Night Acts have more Sun Medals than Moon Medals.
• you can look at the number of Medals you need to reach the next Sun/Moon medal by standing on the Gaia Gate and having Chip tell you or by looking at the gauges in the Status on the Pause Screen

When you go to the shops in the Town Stages, you can buy food that Sonic and/or Chip can eat. When Sonic eats food he gains experience. When Chip eats food you increase his friendship level. There are also 3 Videotapes you can get by feeding Chip in certain countries. Food can only be eaten in Town Stages.

If youre trying to get the BFF Achievement, these are the foods that Chip likes

These are items that are usually found in the Entrance Stages or given by a townsperson to deliver to someone else. In the Inventory on the Pause screen, these items have an icon showing a white star in a green circle. What they are basically are items that have to be given to a Townsperson. Check the Missions Section under Deliveries. Check the Levels sections for exact locations.
