Do You Need A Secret World Guide To Get The Most Out Of The Game?


Today we are going to look at the question that quite a few players of The Secret World end up asking:
“Do you need a guide to get the most out of TSW?”

The MAIN reason for this is because although it is an MMO just like World of Warcraft it has changed some key concepts that you would normally link to a game of this type.

For instance:

Leveling – In a game like World of Warcraft you simply kill mobs of creatures and complete quests and you will “level up” so although there ARE guides for the game and it will make progress quicker the longer you play the game will equal the level you get too. For instance in WOW you could stay around the starting area and if you killed enough creatures you would eventually level up all the way to the end without seeing anything of the game.

In The Secret World you don’t have levels so to speak, you have your build which makes your character more powerful but progress is made by completing quests. These missions are tough and you will have to actual research online to find some answers!

Builds – This is another difference in TSW as in World of Warcraft there are trees that will complete your build and you just select your playstyle and put your points in place. However in The Secret World it is very open ended and although there are starter builds called “decks” it is still very easy to mess up your build and then you will not be able to change it.

Crafting – This is linked with builds as you will need to understand the crafting system to make weapons and items in the game. This can take a lot of time to learn.

Although you don’t NEED a guide to play The Secret World if you are having problems with the game it is most likely going to be down to the build system and the missions. So it really can help having a good guide that at the very least gives you some hints and tips for some of the tougher missions.

The Secret World 'Funeral Crasher' Mission Walkthrough


Today we are looking at another mission that was included in the latest 1.1 patch for The Secret World. This one is called 'The Funeral Crasher' and it is fun but can be a little tricky.

Before we begin bear in mind that there will be spoilers so if you don't want spoilers make sure you don't carry on reading.

If you are ready for some help we will begin...

If you are looking for more in depth help and a full guide to all builds and missions in the game check out The Secret World Domination.

You grab this mission from Blue Mountain by finding Eleanor Franklin who is located at 850,290.

The mission will give you 4 tokens and 23,330 Pax Romana.

The first thing you need to do is find and use the Ouija Board which you will find right on the top floor at the back of the room on the right.

For the next part remember to have a pen and paper handy as the Ouija board will spell out a message for you.

If you have written it down correctly you should have a message that says:

“It Rages Locked Inside 23382IY”

Next up you need to find the location mentioned by the board and if you remember when the mission started in the cut scene you will have heard Eleanor talk about a commotion that she heard up the road.

You just need to head for the intersection to the right of the map.

Once you get there you will see a van in a ditch at 760,450 and you will need to investigate.

Once you get closer to the van you will notice the license plate which is “23382IY”.

If you click the license plate nothing will happen so you need to look for clues.

You will find 2 Orochi tablets here, one is on the right side of the van and one is in front of the van.

If you examine both of these tablets you will get a message, and the second one will send you to a website.

You will get some info about the “Manifestations Communicate” and you need to click on the blank document in the game after you have read this.

After you have done this the headlights will start to flash on the van.

It is actually Morse code!

It translates to “Death Walks The Lady's Path” - if you look on your map you will find Johanna’s Trail and that is where you need to go next.

When you walk down this path you will see a dead body.

You will also need to hug an Ak'rab and it will kill you! But this is meant to happen! Once you are in spirit form go back to the body and click on it.

After using the corpse it will float off and you need to follow it.

It will take you to more ghosts.

Once you get to the puzzle part you need to click “Condition 4”.

The main rule of thumb to solve this puzzle is to listen to the spirits and then click each one in reverse order to play the message back.

Once you have done this you will have completed The Secret World 'The Funeral Crasher' Mission!

Well done!

The Secret World ‘Red Handed’ Mission Walkthrough


This is going to be a walkthrough of one of the new missions in TSW with the new patch. It is called “Red Handed” and is slightly different to other missions as it will involve treating patients in the game!
The crazy thing is that you will need to have real world knowledge of medicines so first we have a guide that will help you make the right decisions in the game.

The medicines that you will need to know are:

Boric Acid
Boric acid is a mild anaesthetic that is commonly used to treat fungal and yeast infections. It can also be used to treat skin conditions like rashes and acne. The aqueous solution can also be used as eye drops.

Chloroquine
This is a prescription medicine that is commonly used to treat malaria it can also be used to treat parasitic infections that occur in the liver. The medical term for this is extra intestinal amebiasis.

Diazepam
This is used to treat anxiety, muscle spasms, seizures and also to treat alcoholics that are withdrawing from alcohol.

Fluoxetine
This is commonly known as Prozac and is used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, eating disorders and panic attacks.

Gabapentin
This drug is used to help people that suffer seizures due to epilepsy. The drug also treats people with restless leg syndrome.

Oxycodone
This is used as a pain killer to treat moderate pain. This drug works by changing the way the body reacts to pain.

Paracetemol
Everyone will know this one! It is of course used as a mild pain killer.

Phenazone
This is Ibuprofen and is used to treat moderate pain and reduce swelling.

Thioridazine
This drug is used to treat the symptoms of schizophrenia and is only to be used by patients that have tired other cures and not been successful.

Vancomycin
This is used to treat colitis which is an inflammation of the intestine due to a bacterial infection.
Ok, so now you know the drugs you will be using in the game we can get on with the mission guide.

Tier 1:
Make sure you follow these instructions carefully as if you get this wrong you will suffer a lock out for 5 minutes.

The goal is to read the ailments of each patient and then you will need to give the right medication.
You can have a go at this yourself by using the descriptions of the medicines and their effects above or if you want spoilers we will tell you the medicines to use below.

A good idea is to pick up all the meds and get them in your inventory at this point so you only have to select the right one.

Patient #1
Breathing Problems, Muscle Spasms.
Give Patient 1 Diazepam.

Patient #2
Headache, nausea, fever, vomiting. Blood test confirms presence of Plasmodium falciparum.
Give Patient 2 Chloroquine.

Patient #3
Fever, chills and severe shaking, confusion and dizziness, small red dots on the skin, rapid breathing and heartbeat.
Give Patient 3 Vancomycin.

Patient #4 is incurable and you will not be able to save them!
At this point it will mention a diary that you need to find.

Look on the table in the middle of the tent.

Tier 2: Read The Diary Of Dr. Varias

If you look at the left page it will mention chemistry.

The right page is actually the periodic table!

On a periodic table each element has a symbol and a number – you need to look up the symbols on a real periodic table and then get the number. You can use the number to work out the letter of the alphabet that this should be!

Very time consuming stuff!

If you want a spoiler we have done it for you below:

I Asked The Old Drinkers at the Tavern About My Father Some Recalled He Spent Nights With His Local Mistress There.
“Good with a pitchfork and that is not all”
This woman is long gone, but perhaps something remains.

Next up head to the tavern in town.

Head up the stairs in the tavern to the room at the end of the hall and look at the picture in the room that has a woman with a pitch fork.

Examine the picture.

The map will lead you to a church at co-ordinates:  877,1212

If you head to the north east side of the church you will find a dirt mound which you should examine and find a buried lap top.

Tier 4:

You will get a message on the computer that reads:

There is a message written within us all.  My research is understanding the meaning of the message written between 45477804 to 45481340.

The link is here, and to understand my research, you need to understand the link.

If you do a search on Google for these numbers you will find that the gene name is “UROD”.

If you do a search for UROD on Google you will find a page that says:

How are changes in the UROD gene related to health conditions?

porphyria - caused by mutations in the UROD gene

You can either try and find the page or get ready for a spoiler.

If you want the answer you just need to enter porphyria into the computer.

Once you have done this congratulations as you will have completed the TSW Red Handed Mission.

The Secret World ‘Crime & Punishment’ Investigation Mission Walkthrough


In The Secret World patch 1.1 there were some new missions released and today we will give you a walkthrough for the Crime and Punishment mission.

Bear in mind that if you want to figure out this mission yourself you should stop reading this as it will give you spoilers.

If you are ready to complete Crime and Punishment then the first thing you need to do is pick up the mission.
You grab the mission from The Savage Coast via Sam Krieg.

You will find Sam Krieg in the lighthouse.

Once you are there you should examine the discarded letter.

The letter will tell you that Sam had to abandon his car. What it doesn’t tell you is exactly where however in the letter it mentions that it is an intersection with a “stupid sentimental name”.

The road name is Lovers Regret, so you can find this on your map and you just need to go to the intersection.

Once you get to the car you want to use the GPS device that you see lying on the ground near the driver’s door. It will show you the location that Sam was heading to before he had to ditch the car.

Now the GPS will give you directions so you have to find your way from the car and follow the directions but remember they will be in reverse as you are going BACKWARDS.

If you follow them correctly you will end up at a gas station.

Once you get there you need to sift through the trash can and you will find the picture that Krieg mentioned in the letter. You will see the picture is of Sam and the obsessed fan that he was talking about.

You will find a website address there as well and the next thing you need to do is find out where the informant lived. If you are in a hurry the house is the large red one near the gas station.

If you go over to the house you will find that it is locked up.

You will need to use the coded entrance on the left door but of course you will need the code to do this!
Now this is the insane bit!

The same website that you visited you will need to go back to. You need to find the post where the guy is talking about his favourite books and take a note of the ISBN numbers. The code to get into the house will be the last 4 digits of ONE of the books!

This can change so you will need to try all of them.

Once you are inside you can head over to the desk in the corner with the PC. You need to enter a code into the computer and you will have a hint which is “Foucault’s Pendulum” – this is an actual book so you need to head over to Amazon.com and do a search for the book. Once you are on the actual listing you need the ISBN number just like you did before.

You must enter the full ISBN into the PC on the game. You will then be given a set of 8 inquiries that you will need to read through.

Once you have done that you have completed “Crime and Punishment” in The Secret World!

The Secret World ‘The Pick Up’ Mission Walkthrough


The Pick Up is one of the new missions in The Secret World for patch 1.1. It is a stealth mission and can be a little tricky so I have decided to write up a walkthrough for the mission.

Before you read on make sure you are ready for some spoilers as if you want to figure it yourself this walkthrough will spoil it for you so be sure that you need a walkthrough first.

You will pick this up from Che Garcia Hansson who you will find in the Hippie Camp in Kingsmouth.
You will also have need to complete Rolls Downhill first which you can pick up from the same guy.

It is fairly straight forward until you get to Tier 2 and then you will need to do some stealth work.

You just need to make sure you stay close to the left wall and avoid the cameras. Just time the cameras and stay as close as you can to the left wall and you will be fine.

Next up you will need to use the Security grid to neutralise intruders.

You need to click the electric grid box and as you do you will see that the faint laser moves towards the guards. If you click this 3 or 4 times you will have moved it up far enough so the guards walk into it.

Next up you will need to pick a door and you should pick the middle one – I have no idea if this is random so you might get a mob to fight.

You will now need to cross back over the security grid – this will require some thought as you will need to zoom in on the grid and find the path where no electricity is being conducted to plot your course.

You will then need to disable the security system and you will have 4 levers on the wall. This again might be random so you will need to try out the combinations but this sequence worked for me.

First Lever: Down
Second Lever: Up
Third Lever: Down
Fourth Lever: Up

Once you have disabled the security system you will need to leave through the maintenance tunnels.
Leave the room and turn left and you will see a laser grid but you will notice a gap here that you will need to quickly run through.

Once you have done this you will have completed ‘The Pick Up’ in The Secret World.

The Secret World “Win Win” Mission Guide


Today we are going to look at the “Win Win” Investigation mission in The Secret World. The investigation missions in particular are some of the trickier in the game but you have to complete them as these are the MAIN missions or the way that you will level up.

The first thing you need to do is head over to the “Orochi” camp and pick up the mission from the computer.
Once you have picked up the mission if you go outside and turn left you will see another computer terminal, at this point you should use the computer and enter:

145
55
11011000
21322314

You will then get an error and the computer will tell you that the code has not worked. Don’t worry this is meant to happen.

What you need to do now is head over to the next computer and use the security terminal.

If you select option 2 to begin with and then option 1.

Once you have done this the terminal will give you some GPS co-ordinates and you need to head to these on the map.

You will find a body at this location which is an “Orochi mole”.

You then need to go to the Security terminal again and use it.

Select option number 1 and everytime you are promoted keeping pressing “1” and enter.

Once you have done this you will have completed the mission.

Of course when you are actually pressing ‘1’ and enter above you can read the response and you will be missing some of the fun of the game if you just race through but essentially the option is there to do it quickly if you want to.

The Secret World Angels And Demons Walkthrough


If you are playing The Secret World then you will find the missions tricky as some of them involve actual research! Gone are the days of just being able to grind up to level cap – in fact there ARE no levels in TSW.
The main way that you can make progress through the game is via the missions and your build.

I am going to give you a walkthrough for the Angels and Demons investigation mission which will be given to you in Egypt in The Scorched Desert zone.

The first thing you need to do is find the building with the “Plethron” sign on it – enter this building and find the “Plethron” office and you will find that it is locked.

There is a building that runs parallel to the office building and you need to go up the back steps and jump across the roof.

You will enter the office through another door on the 2nd floor that is unlocked.

Once you get in the office you will get another mission update that tells you to search for more info on the Plethron.

You should find a dead man in the room and you need to check out his badge which will give you the following info:

Name: H Glass

Position: Field Director

Clearance Level: Gold-Bug

You will also get a password hint which is:

My Surname is common in classic literature and my clearance level is the key.

This is the tough part as you need to research classic novels to get an idea of what this is talking about. It is actually talking about a book called The Gold Bug by Edgar Allen Poe.

You now need to enter gold bug into the computer and it will give you the code 305.

Next up it will tell you to investigate The Shipping Warehouse.

You just need to pull up the map and you will find this fairly easily.

Now you need to access the surveillance footage and pay attention as you will need to write down the number of beeps that you hear in the footage. You will hear a different tone in the beeps and this will let you know which numbers to press to open the crate.

If you are stuck the code is 2,4,3,5.

Once you have done this you will open the crate and get a special message just for you.
I will let you read this and make of it what you will!

The good news is that you have completed The Angels and Demons Mission in TSW!
