Beyond Good & Evil Glitches and Unlockables (PS2)

Beyond Good & Evil is a video game for the GameCube, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2 and Xbox platforms. It was designed by Michel Ancel (creator of Rayman), developed by Ubisoft in-house (with Ancel on the team) and released in late 2003. It focuses around the exploits of Jade, a female reporter and the game's protagonist. Tyrone Miller, a public relations manager for Ubisoft, said the title comes from a "need to investigate beyond the superficial facts of what is good and what is evil."

Beyond Good & Evil combines elements of an action-adventure game with those of a stealth-based game, among other genres. While Jade has the ability to attack enemies with her Daï-jo combat staff, she can also crawl and sneak around when necessary to avoid confrontation with enemies that outnumber her or are too powerful to engage in combat. At times, it is only possible to advance or defeat a certain enemy with the help of her friends Pey'j and Double H, creating an additional element of teamwork.

Glitches

Get past the Alpha Sections area barriers
Surely you know that if you try to leave the main area, there are robots that come from the ground and shoot a laser at you to bounce you back. There's a way to get past them and here's how:

1. Go to the area where the Manta Magnificens (the red manta ray) is flying around. Position yourself so that the mainland is to the right of you.

2. You should get a warning from a nearby area guard. Fly to the land without getting too close and follow it until you reach another area guard in the water. You should have two of them visible now.

3. Go to the edge of the land and try to fly in between the range of where the area guards shoot at you and fly into the water. They should knock you into the land; you will probably take damage from ramming into it. Eventually if you do this long enough you will be knocked through it and you'll be under everything.

4. Turn left. You should see a small triangle-shaped arch. Fly through that and turn left once more. If you look up you can see an area guard attempt to shoot at you, but it only hits the ground above you and can't reach you.

5. Now, go as far as you can into the water and boost through the corner of the green section on the right. If you go fast enough you can evade the guard you just went past. You may get hit two or three times but it won't be enough to put you in range again.

6. Look at your surroundings. Make sure there are no guards close to you and fly in the opposite direction.

7. Success! You are now out in the open. Feel free to explore, but all you'll find is water. If you boost all the way for about 10 minutes, you'll eventually reach a barrier where the screen will fade out and unfortunately you will be facing the opposite direction.
