This page attempts to document certain aspects of the "Dementium" series for the NDS.

Dementium: The Ward

Glitches and Tricks

Faster Acceleration

Instead of double tapping "up" immediately, it's slightly faster to double tap once your speed reaches 124 in the RAM watch.

Turning

When turning sharp corners, never turn in 90 degree angles. Always turn in ~45 degree angles for slightly faster turns.

Chapter 6 Sequence Break

Immediately once the chapter begins, there's a wheelchair infront of you. By running towards the wheelchair, you can clip into it, and walk to the exit to the right, skipping the entire chapter. This also drastically shortens the buzz-saw sidequest, as you don't need to backtrack.

Rapid Fire with any weapon

All weapon's reload timer share the same address, and it resets everytime you swap weapons. This can be abused to fire rapidly at enemies by switching weapons back and forth while shooting. The best time to use this trick is at the Chapter 8 Boss.

Killing Screamers without slowing down

The weakest weapon, the nightstick, is capable of killing the screamersin one hit. It is recomended to kill them this way as not only is it more quiet, but also doesn't create recoil.

Luck/Enemy Manipulation

Shooting at the right time can manipulate enemies to not attack you, and also the position of enemies yet to spawn. TODO: Find out the RNG for enemy positions.
