Safety Information

About Photosensitive Seizures

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed
to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may
appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or
epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these
“photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness,
altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs,
disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may
also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from
falling down or striking nearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above
symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience
these seizures.

The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther
from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a
well-lit room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult
a doctor before playing.

Other Important Health and Safety Information The Xbox Instruction
Manual contains important health and safety information that you should
read and understand before using this software.

Avoid Damage to Your Television

Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or
rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox
games, are played on them. Static images presented during the normal
course of game play may “burn in” to the screen, causing a permanent
shadow of the static image to appear at all times, even when video games
are not being played. Similar damage may occur from static images created
when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult your television owner’s
manual to determine if video games can be played safely on your set. If you
are unable to find this information in the owner’s manual, contact your
television dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games can be
played safely on your set.

Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public
performance, rental, pay for play, or circumvention of copy protection
is strictly prohibited.

Prologue

Even here in the gulf, rescue is nowhere in sight. The wind hunts
me with a long, cold-fingered reach that strangles lost words in my
throat before they cross my lips. Rain falls from every direction,
either straight down in torrents or whipped up from the waves. My
energy and hope sapped, I don’t know how long I can hang on.

Patrolling the Gulf of the Moon is usually one of the best duties
a young boat captain can draw—relative safety, warm waters,
and plenty of small coastal villages to provide food, drink, and
entertainment. The day we cast off was one of those days that
beckon young men to a life at sea. As commander, I had stood
proudly behind my helmsman while he guided our stout vessel
out of the harbor and into the gulf.

I am still not sure where the attack came from because it was so
fast and so final. I’ve been tossed about like a child’s wooden boat
for as best as I can tell, six days and nights, but the line between
sleep and wakefulness has become blurred save for one clear
thought that keeps me clinging for life—that I must find out who is
responsible for this devastating attack on my boat and crew. I draw
small comfort from the knowledge that I am the only one who
survived the onslaught, and that this one remaining chunk of hull is
all that separates me from the sharks. The thought had just crossed
my mind when I heard the distant hum of an
engine through the driving rain.

The Story

Your name is Shao Kai. You were formerly a

lieutenant with the Northern League, but thanks

to Ped Zeng, leader and warlord of the Shadow

Clan, you have been rescued. Your rescue comes

with a price. In exchange for your life you have

been conscripted into the Shadow Clan for your

skippering expertise to fight against the

Shadow Clan’s enemies: the Jade Kingdom

and the Iron Empire.

Your new Shadow Clan allies, an informal

collective of young freedom-loving raiders, are

out to seek fortune and infamy. Many of them
are exiles and refugees from parts of the mainland, having fled
to the tropical archipelagos of the Shadow Islands along the
Dragon Sea’s southern and eastern edges.

Though not malicious or bloodthirsty, the Shadow Clan lives a life
of freedom through piracy, trading, and smuggling, especially by
picking off Jade Kingdom freighters loaded with goods from the
Jade Kingdom’s wealthy merchant class. This makes
them a persistent thorn in the side of the Jade
Kingdom’s leader, Lord Sri Brana.

Shadow Clan boats are swift and their captains
bold—this is how they make up for their relatively
light armament and weaponry, and lesser
numbers. Ped Zeng has put to sea his entire
Shadow Clan fleet and declared open season
on any Jade Kingdom boats that threaten his
livelihood. He is a wise and cavalier sea rogue,
in love with the good life but intent on
maintaining Clan sovereignty in the Dragon
Sea. On the other hand, because of the
increasing threat from the Iron Empire, Ped has
instructed his men to fight or flee Iron Empire
boats at their own discretion, and risk.

The Jade Kingdom

The Jade Kingdom is a traditional monarchy led by
Lord Sri Brana, a charismatic and flamboyant king
who for many years has ruled the many small groups
living in the Gulf of the Moon. This area once was
dominated by the opium trade but is now ruled by the
aristocracy. The aristocrats maintain their country’s
autonomy with trade agreements for some of their
plentiful resources such as spice and hardwoods. It
is a land of tall jungle-covered mountains stepping
down to wide, rich river plains. Mysticism is deeply
engrained here, including tales of magical empires
long lost to the inroads of jungle and ocean.

The Jade Kingdom has declared war on the Shadow Clan in order
to protect its shipping channels. At the same time, warlord Shao
Lung was organizing the fractured states in the north into the Iron
Empire. Lord Brana hopes to rid himself of the pesky Shadow Clan
first and then turn his attention full force against the Iron Empire,
rather than attempt to tackle both problems at once. He laughed at
the first attempts of the Iron Empire. He is sure it will be a simple
matter to put them back in their place. Unfortunately, Lord Brana
may have underestimated the situation.

Jade Kingdom Boats

Jade Kingdom boats are adapted from junks and sampans and their
weapons are haphazard at best. On the other hand, they do know
their jungle rivers well and are more numerous than other factions.
The sampans are relatively slow on the water but do carry some
weapons that make them a threat. These
include chain guns, rocket launchers, mine
launchers, and torpedo launchers. The
smaller-class sampans are easy to
destroy with weapons or even by
crashing your Shadow Clan boat
right through their flimsy
wooden hulls. The larger
sampans can take more
of a beating.

The Iron Empire

Only recently, militaristic warlord Shao Lung has

pulled together small, splintered, and independent

feudal provinces located in the far northern lands

and declared himself a khan. These provinces

formerly lived in the Jade Kingdom’s shadow.

Separated by an impassable mountain chain and
extensive river systems and gorges, this mysterious

group refers to itself as the Iron Empire. Before

Shao Lung Kahn, it was known as the Northern

League—a loose confederation of small feudal

provinces with linguistic and cultural similarities,

each ruled by its own prince, duke, or khan. It was

Lung who made alliances with some of the khans and

then destroyed the rest of them, dividing the lands
between the warlords who cooperated with him. Silently and swiftly,
Lung has equipped his new Iron Empire with boats conquered and
commandeered on the high seas. He now plagues his Jade
Kingdom neighbors and is a formidable enemy.

Shao Lung Khan has left a legacy of treachery, deceit and death in
his wake and seems intent on destroying everyone in the Gulf of the
Moon who has not been absorbed into the Iron Empire. Unlike the
Jade Kingdom, the Iron Empire doesn’t seek to capture Shadow
Clan men or loot their ships, but prefers to send them to the bottom
of the sea with little warning. His ultimate goal remains a mystery.
It is also rumored that the Iron Empire has somehow acquired
a powerful mystical weapon.

Iron Empire Boats

Iron Empire boats are metal-hulled and powered by large engines
that make them typically quicker on the water than Jade Kingdom
sampans. The boats carry powerful weapons such as auto-cannons,
rocket launchers, fixed cannons and mine launchers. Ped always
advises Shadow Clan raiders like yourself to avoid the Iron Empire’s
heavy weapons and instead outmaneuver them on the water, rather
than fight them head-on. He also urges staying
aware of areas in which they may have
placed water mines. As a final note, the
Shadow Clan recently seems
to have figured out a way
to come up with unpredictable
and decisive victories, so
Ped advises you to
proceed with caution.

Your Boats

As you gain the trust of your fellow Shadow Clan raiders, and as
boats are confiscated from the enemy, you are provided with better
and better boats from the Shadow Clan fleet. Each boat type has
characteristics unique to it with regard to armor and speed; boat
classes within each type differ in the types of weapons they have
mounted on them. Some of the boat classes listed here are only
available in Battle Mode.

SPEEDBOAT

The Speedboat is a fast, 30-foot boat that turns
and accelerates quickly due to its small
size; unfortunately, this also makes it
susceptible to strikes from heavy
weapons. Still, it stands up to
most challenges simply by
outrunning the enemy and
using evasive tactics.

Barracuda: 4 Chain Guns

Salamander: 4 Chain Guns, 1 Rocket Launcher

Pike: 4 Auto-Cannons, 1 Rocket Launcher

Stripped: No weapons

Lightning: 4 Auto-Cannons, 1 Stinger

CATAMARAN

The 40-foot Catamaran is a dual-hulled
wooden boat—one of the fastest
on the water. Not as fast as the
speedboat, the Catamaran
makes up for it with weapons
and armor.

Hellcat: 2 Chain Guns,

1 Rocket Launcher,
2 Torpedoes

Guncat: 2 Auto-Cannons, 1 Rocket Launcher, 2 Fixed Cannons

Wraith: 2 Auto-Cannons, 1 Wave Gun, 2 Fixed Cannons

GUNBOAT

The 50-foot, wooden-hulled Gunboat is fast
and sturdy. Due to its size it can carry
heavy weapons and flaunt its dominant
firepower in encounters with
smaller vessels.

Gunshark: 2 Auto-Cannons,

1 Rocket Launcher,
1 Mine Launcher,
2 Fixed Cannons

Tigershark: 2 Chain Guns, 1 Stinger, 1 Mine Launcher, 2 Fixed Cannons

Fireshark: 2 Chain Guns, 1 Rocket Launcher, 1 Mine Launcher,

2 Torpedo Launchers

16

17

Weapons

DEVIL BOAT

Giving up speed for firepower, the 75-foot
Devil Boat is an ominous threat to the enemy.
It is loaded with weapons that make it
formidable in a firefight.

Razorback: 4 Auto-Cannons,

2 Rocket Launchers
(homing),
1 Mine Launcher,
4 Torpedoes
(homing)

Jackal: 4 Chain Guns,

2 Rocket Launchers, 1 Mine Launcher,
2 Fixed Cannons, 2 Torpedo Launchers

HYDROPLANE

The Hydroplane is one of the fastest and most
maneuverable boats on the water. At 55 feet
long with a wooden hull, it reaches speeds
of over 100 mph. Its size allows
mounting many weapons; its
speed allows effective evasion
of the enemy.

Stiletto: 2 Auto-Cannons,

1 Stinger,
2 Rocket Launchers
(homing),
2 Torpedo Launchers (homing)

Switchblade: 2 Auto-Cannons, 1 Wave Gun, 2 Rocket Launchers

(homing), 2 Torpedo Launchers (homing)

Boats have both primary and secondary weapons. Primary
weapons have unlimited ammunition and are the basic weapon on
most boats. They overheat when fired continuously, so don’t drive
your boat with one finger firmly planted on the trigger, or you might
not live to regret it!

PRIMARY WEAPONS

CHAIN GUN

Description: Small-round, short-

range weapon.

Range: Short.

Pros: Rapid-fire; unlimited

ammo; partial auto­aiming capability.

Cons: Prone to overheating;

takes a while to do
significant damage.

AUTO-CANNON

Description: Large-round, short-

range weapon.

Range: Short.

Pros: Unlimited ammo;

partial auto-aiming
capability; inflicts
more damage than
chain guns.

Cons: Does not have good

armor-piercing
capability.

18

19

SECONDARY WEAPONS

Secondary weapons have limited ammunition that is replenished
through re-arm power-ups. Boats can have zero, one, or multiple
secondary weapons. Some of the secondary weapons damage your
own boat if fired while partially submerged. Be careful in
rough seas!

ROCKET LAUNCHER

There are two classes of rockets:
homing and dumb-fire. Homing
rockets sense the target and home
in on it through the air with their
built-in homing radar. Dumb-fire
rockets don’t have homing
capabilities and therefore depend
on your accuracy as a gunner. It is
best to “lead” the target with dumb­fire rockets, aiming slightly ahead
of the enemy’s present location,
and along the path in the direction
they are heading.

DUMB-FIRE

Description: High-damage, dumb-

fire weapon.

Range: Medium.

Pros: Great for slow-

moving or stationary
targets.

Cons: Not a precision

weapon at long
distance.

HOMING

Description: High-damage weapon

with homing
capability.

Range: Medium.

Pros: More successful on

fast-moving, short­range targets than the
dumb-fire version due
to its homing
capability.

CANNON

There are two classes of torpedoes:
homing and dumb-fire. Homing
torpedoes sense the target and home
in on it through the water with their
built-in homing radar. Dumb-fire
torpedoes don’t have homing
capabilities and therefore depend on
your accuracy as a gunner. It is best
to “lead” the target with dumb-fire
torpedoes, aiming slightly ahead of
the enemy’s present location, and
along the path in the direction they
are heading.

DUMB-FIRE

Description: Powerful ship-to-ship

weapon.

Range: Long.

Pros: When they hit, they

hit hard.

Cons: Long reload time; difficult to

use especially against fast­moving targets due to its
lack of tracking capability.

Description: Fast with

moderate damage
capability.

Range: Medium to long.

Pros: Great for shore

targets or a fleet
of ships.

Cons: Hard to use in

rough seas.

HOMING

Description: Powerful ship-to-ship

weapon.

Range: Long.

Pros: Can fire at targets

not directly in front
of you because of its
homing capability.

20

21

Power-ups

MINE

STINGER

WAVE GUN

Description: High-damage

Range: N/A.

Pros: Great for slowing

enemy.

Cons: You can run over

your own mines.

Description: Electrostatic shock

weapon.

Range: Very short.

Pros: Heavy hitting and

great for short-range
combat.

Cons: The very short range

means you’ll have to
maneuver close to
your enemy.

Description: Sonic disruption

weapon.

Range: Very short.

Pros: Great for destroying

mines and
torpedoes.

Cons: Causes only modest

damage.

Battle Mode

In Battle Mode, Blood Wake offers a number of high sea battle
challenges for up to four players, in addition to the single-play
missions provided in Story Mode.

To play Battle Mode connect an additional Xbox Controller to your
console for each player. See the Xbox Instruction Manual provided
with your Xbox video game system for information about
connecting additional Xbox Controllers.

The Battle Mode Game screen differs slightly
from Story Mode because it has a Kill Counter
for displaying the number of kills accumulated

in the game you’re playing. This double-digit
Kill Counter appears next to the skull and crossbones in your
Battle Mode Game screen.

Battle Mode Game Types

There are five basic Battle Mode game types, described below.
The games that are available depend on the number of players
that are playing.

Survivor

The game ends when you reach the kill limit, die,
or time expires.

Free-for-All

The game ends when a player reaches the kill limit, dies,
or time expires.

Team Death Match

The game ends when a team reaches the kill limit
or time expires.

Domination

The game ends when any team reaches the capture
time limit.

Single-Player Battle Mode Games

A variety of single-player games pitting you against computer­controlled boats in different scenarios.

Two-Player Battle Mode Games

Player vs. Player: Head-to-head combat.
Open Contest: A free-for-all.

Three-Player Battle Mode Games

Player vs. Player: A free-for-all among all three players.
2 vs. 1: Two-on-one team death match.
Domination: Jump over the platform to capture the fort.

The first team to reach the time limit wins.

Four-Player Battle Mode Games

Player vs. Player: A free-for-all among all four players.
2 vs. 2: Two-on-two team death match.
3 vs. 1: Three-on-one team death match.
Domination: Jump over the platform to capture the fort.

The first team to reach the time limit wins.
