Shadows of the Empire Trivia

1. In which level do you ride along a hover train, at the end of which you have to fight IG-88?

From Quiz Shadows of the Empire

Answer: Ord Mantell Junkyard

In this level, you are on foot. You have to jump from train car to train car while they're moving at high speeds. They're riddled with assassin droids and train guards. At the end, Leebo, your copilot, turned off the train's brakes, and smashed it into the warehouse door. This massive junk pile is where you fight IG-88, who is quite difficult. There are also two challenge points in the battling area.

Answer: Hoth

The first mission is the Battle of Hoth in which you fly a Snowspeeder and destroy designated targets to buy enough time for the transports to escape. The second mission is in Echo Base, where you have to fight your way through a horde of Imperials to your ship. The third mission takes place in the Hoth asteroid belt, where you have to fight off TIE Fighters And Bombers until you're clear. "Shadows of the Empire", by Steve Perry, was published in May, 1996. In the same year, a soundtrack was made for it (although the soundtrack was released a month before the book). Finally, in early December (still 1996), "Shadows of the Empire" the video game was released for the N64.

Answer: Freighter Suprosa

The Suprosa, in the game, is a large ship filled with stormtroopers and droids. At the end, you have to fight a loader droid is the hangar. After you defeat it, you can then grab the Death Star II plans and open the hangar doors to let the Outrider in. In "X-Wing Alliance" there is a level concerning the Suprosa, except the ship is much smaller than "Shadows of the Empire" would make it to appear. Also, "X-Wing Alliance" focuses more on the space fight between the Suprosa and a Y-Wing squadron lead by Luke Skywalker. When Dash boards the Suprosa, he finds the plans almost instantly.

Answer: Escape from Echo Base

Escape From Echo Base is the first level where you play on foot. It's fairly easy, introducing the standard stormtroopers enemies (in this case, they're snow troopers, but are essentially the same enemy). Also, there are some wampas in this level that you can release. If you do, they will target all other characters, including yourself, bad guys, and each other. There is a cheat you can use in order to take control of a wampa yourself to go terrorizing Imperial forces.

Answer: Dash Rendar

You play through all ten missions as the smuggler friend of Han's, Dash Rendar. Although not in the book itself, Dash does explain that he fought in the Battle of Hoth, and that he went to Ord Mantell. He supposedly fried IG-88, although in "Tales of the Bounty Hunters", it says there were only four IG-88 droids, and it explained how each one was destroyed.

Answer: Asteroid Chase

As you are escaping Hoth in the Outrider, you come under attack by an Imperial Star Destroyer that launches TIE Fighters and Bombers. The TIE Fighters are easy to destroy and don't pack much punch. They're just difficult to hit. The Bombers come in sets of two and three, and they're the dangerous ones. They hover near your ship and charge up bombs to fire at you. They also can take more punishment than TIE Fighters. One method that works is to lock on to one and fire a missile. With luck, other bombers will be caught in the blast radius and will also be damaged/destroyed.

Answer: Beggar's Canyon

Beggar's Canyon is the only level in the game where you get to drive a swoop. You have to navigate Mos Eisley, then the Dune Sea, and finally Beggar's Canyon, all the while trying to smash mercenaries on their swoops in walls.

Answer: Battle of Hoth

The first level in the game is also the only level in which you fly an airspeeder. In a small arena you have to fight through four stages. You have three other airspeeders to on your side, but they do little more than attract the attention of the enemy gunners (and they do a poor job at that, too). The first stage is easy: four probe droids. Stage two puts you against two probe droids and two AT-STs. The next stage is a little more difficult: an AT-AT flanked by two AT-STs and two probe droids. AT-ATs are slow, and have a limited firing range, so they're relatively easy to avoid compared to the AT-STs. It's probably easiest if you destroy everything else first, and tackle the AT-AT last. If you use the two-cable to bring it down, you will get a challenge point. Just be careful when flying around its legs, as the camera view will not let you see what's in front of you, and if you fly too low, you may smash your speeder into a fallen AT-ST. Stage four is the same as stage three, except doubled.

Answer: Gall Spaceport

Gall Spaceport is the longest level in the game. It has fifteen challenge points (more than any other level) and two bosses (some people say three). In this level you get all kinds of fun new things to play with, such as the pulse cannon and flamethrower weapons, and, more importantly, the jetpack. In the first part of this level, you have to make your way along Smugglers' Canyon, fighting off Imperial troops and a wampa. Eventually, you get to one part of the base where you can steal the jetpack, and hop across a canyon to the end of the first stage. The second stage opens up with the first boss battle, another AT-ST (same boss as Escape from Echo Base"). After that, the level continues through the imperial base and large canyons with tram cars. The next boss is Boba Fett, who has abilities that resemble Dash's. He has a jetpack, and uses seeker missiles, a pulse cannon, and a flame thrower when he get close. Once Boba Fett is defeated, he'll retreat into the Slave I, which you then have to fight. Despite dealing a considerable amount of damage to the Slave I, Boba Fett will still manage to get away to Tatooine with a frozen Han Solo.

Answer: Xixor's Theme

You may have thought that a song titled "The Destruction of Xixor's Palace" might have been more appropriate, as you are setting bombs to topple his tower. But no, instead, it plays the final portion (looped) on Xixor's Theme, which is threatening, but upbeat, unlike the previous mission. This a long mission, so they're doing you a favor by playing this song, so you subconsciously move faster, or else you might end up spending half a day just trying to die, which, in turn, may get you killed.

Answer: Skyhook Battle

The Skyhook battle is composed of two parts. The first part is similar to the Asteroid Chase where you man the guns of the Outrider to take out enemy fighters (Starvipers). Every fifteen you destroy here will give you another life. The second part has you flying freely (similar to the Battle of Hoth level, except in space you can pull off more complex maneuvers). On the skyhook are four arms. At the end of each arm is a turret. You have to destroy all four turrets and then fly into the skyhook (along the arms) and fire missiles at the four sides of the reactor core. Once the reactor core is destroyed, you can try to fly back out, but at this point in the game, it doesn't really matter. Both ways it will seem like Dash did not survive the explosion (to Leia and Luke). If you make it all the way out of the Skyhook on the Jedi difficulty, a special ending will play.

Answer: The Destruction of Xixor's Palace

This is one of my favorite songs in the game. It's fast and really conveys that sense of a struggle happening between the massive factions and the Rebels' small squadron of starfigters and the Outrider (Dash Rendar's ship). This is where the game differs from the book more drastically. In the book, Vader counted down, giving Xixor time to surrender, but Xixor refused and Vader ripped his Skyhook to pieces, whereas in the game, Dash flies into the Skyhook and blows up the power core.
