3. The Forgotten City Cheat Walkthrough: Prologue and Endings 1 and 2

Prologue

The adventure begins with you talking to a stranger. Select your gender and name. Whenever your character says his or her name, I will replace it with "...," in the walkthrough. You can use whichever dialogue options you prefer. However, I will show what I've chosen. Save your choices and continue. Here's what I chose for the opening conversation of the game:

• "I was on a covert mission..." (Soldier)
• "Mind if I ask some questions first?"
• "What's your story?" (You'll be asking this of everyone.)
• "You're not even going to tell me your name?"
• "I'd really like to know, especially if I'm going to be helping you."
• "Well, thank you for saving my life, Karen."
• "Who is Al?"
• "Where are we?"
• "What can you tell me about the ruins?"
• "Have you tried calling for help?"
• "That's all the questions I had."
• "Alright, I'm in."

I picked the soldier so I could have the gun, which is required for an ending achievement and a missable achievement. (NOTE: There is no give gun console command. I know because I tried.) Not only that, but it can also get you out of a jam. However, use the gun sparingly. Unless you decide to use console commands, you're only given 10 bullets with no way of replenishing them. Use them wisely.

New Main Goal:

Quid Pro Quo

Enter the ruins

Walk forward a few feet to the quest marker.

Updated Main Goal:

Quid Pro Quo

Search for clues about Al's whereabouts

Next, press or to equip the gun/flashlight so you can see in the dark and follow the path to the door. NOTE: If you sprint, your adventurer will point the gun in the air, so the light won't be visible. Press to read the note, which opens the door.

Updated Main Goal:

Quid Pro Quo

Find the entrance to the secret city

Step on the circular platform to fall into the pit, then take a couple of steps forward.

Updated Main Goal:

Quid Pro Quo

Follow Al's trail

Follow along the path, listening to the narration, across the bridge, until you reach the Hanging Golden Statue. You can inspect some statues if you want, but none of them are needed for achievements so they won't be discussed in this walkthrough.

Updated Main Goal:

Quid Pro Quo

Read the stone tablet

Directly below the Hanging Golden Statue is the Inscribed Stone Tablet. Press to read it. This will complete Quid Pro Quo. Continue forward until the camera angle changes automatically.

New Main Goal:

Forget-Me-Not

Find the doorway into the past

Continue following the path up the first six flights of stairs until you reach a fork, then take the right path down the stairs and a few more feet.

Updated Main Goal:

Forget-Me-Not

Step through the doorway into the past

Take your only left and step through the portal. This completes Forget-Me-Not.

This is where you will play the rest of the game. All of the endings are easy if you cheat, so save your game here. In fact, save your game often (and use multiple saves just in case). You never know when you're going to screw up. Or even when the game might glitch. In fact, I've been hit with never-ending load screens multiple times already, and I'm just getting started. If this happens to you, press Alt+Tab, then right-click the game on the task bar and select close all windows, then reload the game. One ending may be missable if you run out of bullets. I tried to shoot Sentius with the Golden Bow (gild) multiple times, but it didn't work once. Gilding other citizens does, however.

The first two pages discusses how to use cheats to get the first three endings and partially get the fourth. If you would rather get them legit, you can skip the rest of this page and also the next one.

Ending 1/4

New Main Goal:

Point of Origin

Figure out how to return to your original time

First, let's use God Mode in case we accidentally get hit with arrows (you should be fine):

Xbox One/360 Controller:
Console Command (~): god

Walk up to Galerius. Lie if you want, but for the first few playthroughs, it doesn't matter. Go with the following dialogue options:

• "'...I got lost.' (Lie)"
• "Your laws?"
• "No thanks, I'll make my own way."
• "Don't worry about me. I know what I'm doing."

You should unlock:

• Maverick

  Skip the city tour

  
  1 guide

New Main Goal:

The Golden Rule

Learn about the Golden Rule

Visit Magistrate Sentius in the Villa

Don't worry about these objectives unless you're playing legit.

As Galerius is walking off, press , aim, and hit to shoot him in the back. Oops... We just broke the Golden Rule! What EVER shall we DO?!

New Main Goal:

Run!

Follow Sentius back to his shrine and use his portal again

Don't worry about this objective either, or else you miss out on an achievement.

Stay where you are and wait for the Magistrate to come to you. The Golden Statues will attack, but the quest marker (the Magistrate) will quickly rush to us. Shoot him in the head when he gets close. Next, enter the portal we just came through. You should unlock:

• Law Abiding Citizen

  Finish the game without looping through time once

Updated Main Goal:

Point of Origin

Talk to Al

Walk forward and Al will talk to you. I used these dialogue options:

• "Al Worth? I came in here to find you."
• "...I was hoping you'd know who I am..."
• "'Weird. That definitely wasn't me.' (Lie)"
• "When I first arrived here in the present day, I found your corpse hanging from a noose."
• "I still have the suicide note you carved into this tablet. Here."
• "It was written by a different version of you. I changed your past, and your fate."
• "I killed the man who opened a time portal and drew you back in time, preventing it from ever happening."
• "Now you're getting it."
• "I regret nothing."

You should unlock:

• The Many Shall Suffer

  Reach Ending 1 of 4

  
  

Press Continue.

Ending 2/4

For this and the next ending, we will use No-Clip.

New Main Goal:

Point of Origin

Figure out how to return to your original time

You can use No-Clip or Ghost to skip talking to Galerius completely. Here's the code:

Xbox One/360 (No-Clip):
Console Command (~): noclip (ghost also works)

You can then fly past the second bridge and turn off No-Clip to land. However, Horatius will stop you, even if you're using No-Clip directly above him. You can get around this by flying closer to the Forum, then veering right.

Once you're passed Horatius, repeat the cheat to turn off No-Clip/Ghost. Left of the guard doing pushups are stairs leading up to a locked door (Malleolus's villa). Left of those are stairs leading down to a door (lower cistern). Try to enter the lower cistern. A guard will stop you. Here's what I chose to say:

• "Yes, why?"
• "What did you do?"
• "That was a great story, but I'm still going down there."

Walk through both doors and use No-Clip.

You can make a beeline to the spot, but I like to play it safe since I know where I'm going. Go down the stairs into the lower cistern, then straight up the next flight of stairs. Go left and up the vine using your No-Clip. Make sure you're above the ground, then disable No-Clip. You could unlock:

• Italian Plumber

  Enter the upper cistern in an unconventional way

  
  

However, I'm not 100% sure it unlocks without using the Golden Bow. I already had the achievement when I started writing this walkthrough, and I'll go into detail on how to unlock it later.

Now, talk to the Captive. Here's what I chose:

• "...nobody sent me."
• "What is going on here?"
• "Who did this to you?"
• "How hasn't this broken The Golden Rule?"
• "Where is the way out?"
• "What will you do if I release you?"
• "What about the others?"
• "What if I round everyone up so they're ready to escape, once The Golden Rule is broken?"
• "I'm sorry, but if I let you go, everyone else is going to die."
• "Not heartless. Just rational. Our escape isn't worth the lives of everyone here."

Make a new save. This sets up a partial playthrough for the third ending.

Talk to Sentilla again, this time choosing:

• "I'm letting you go. Let's get out of here together."

Her captor shows up. This is what I went with:

Press to pull the trigger. You should unlock:

• Dead Shot

  Free the captive and shoot her captor with your gun

  
  

Updated Main Goal:

Point of Origin

Talk to Al

Al automatically talks to you.

• "Al Worth? I came in here to find you."
• "...I was hoping you'd know who I am..."
• "Actually, that was me."
• "When I first arrived here in the present day, I found your corpse hanging from a noose."
• "I still have the suicide note you carved into this tablet. Here."
• "It was written by a different version of you. I changed your past, and your fate."
• "I helped Sentilla kill the man who opened a time portal and drew you back in time, preventing it from ever happening."
• "Now you're getting it."
• "Enough talk. How about we get out of this place?"
• "It's right here in the cistern. Follow me."

Updated Main Goal:

Point of Origin

Exit through the aqueduct

Go left, up the stairs, until the screen changes, and you're outside.

Updated Main Goal:

Point of Origin

Return to the river

Follow the path until Al stops you. I selected:

• "Good idea."

Continue along the riverbed until Karen stops you. This completes Point of Origin.

• "I found him. He'll be here in a moment."
• "I discovered the ruins of an ancient underground city."

NOTE: We didn't play through the entire story. There will be more later as we progress through the game. I put the legit version of these two endings towards the end of the walkthrough for that reason.

Either listen to Sentilla's message or take Sentilla's stone tablet by pressing .

• "I'm ready. Take us home."

You should unlock:

• The One That Got Away

  Reach Ending 2 of 4

  
  

Press Continue. The Cheat versions of Ending 3 and the partial 4th Ending are next. The story walkthrough is coming up.
