In this Guide, I will walk you through on how to get the Best Ending for the Commercial Version of Strife: Veteran Edition. Otherwise known as Strife: Quest for the Sigil.
(NOTE: This the Third and Final Game to use the DOOM Engine outside of the DOOM Series.)
1. Prolouge
ammo and a couple of acolytes. (Depending on difficulty.) First, kill the
acolytes in the interrogation room, pick up the helath and ammo and then kill
the guard outside the door. Go down the path and into the first room on the
left side and talk to Rowan to receive your first mission.
2. Mission 0: The Traitor
bolts. Go out of the room and turn left. Go forward and then go left and then
left again, down a couple of stairs. Then turn right and you will see the
entrance to the Sanctuary. The door is locked, so jump down into the river and
you will end up on a pier. Walk up the stairs and turn left to enter the
Sanctuary.A button on the wall will open the door. Shoot the guard up on the ledge. (The
alarm will go off when you enter the room, anyway.) Go right and go up the
elevator. There is a guard to your left, kill him, then continue through the
door. Continue down the corridor and up the staircase. There is a guard during
the way. In the room at the top of the staircase there is a button. Press it
and head back down the stairs. Turn right and walk into the newly opened
corridor and you will end up on the platform with the guard that was shot
earlier. Press the button and turn around. Drop down on the left side of the
stairs for some ammo and the walk away to the platform that you raised. Flip
the switch and the platform will be lowered. Stay on it to get back up and then
head right. Go though the door and up the elevator. Go though the door on your
left and you will end up in Beldin’s cell. Talk to him if you want to and then
kill him and pick up his ring. There is some money on the table. Then go out
the door and continue left around the corner and go through the door. Kill the
guard and pick up the stuff you can find in the room. Flipping the switch is
optional. It will lower the forcefield in the room with yellow glasses, but it
isn’t recommended going back there to pick up the chalice. It will only cause
problems later. When done, head out from the room and walk to the pillar and
press the button to lower a staircase. Go up it and out through the door to end
up in town again.
When out, walk straight across the field and into the passage. Go right and
then right again to end up where Rowan is. Talk to him to receive some gold and
a Com Unit. Mission Accomplished.
Now that you have started working for the Front it is time to find their HQ. Go
out from Rowan’s room and head towards the sanctuary, but instead of going
right after the stairs, go over the bridge and into the partially demolished
Town Hall. During the walk you will get some instructions from your new guide,
Blackbird. Go through the door on your left and then the one on your right and
talk to Geoff. Hopefully Blackbird will have told you the code so that Geoff
will open the door. Go inside and press the button and then head down the
stairs to end up in the Front base. Walk across the storage room and straight
down the corridor and you will meet Macil.
3-1. Mission 1: Freeing the Prisoners Part 1
with the shops. Then turn left and go through the door. Talk to Irale, but
don’t buy anything. Instead, walk out and go towards the water. You will see
some kind of “platform” with a hole in it. Run towards the water, jump, and go
down the hole. Pick up the stuff, go up the working elevator, pick up some more
stuff, destroy the window and jump out. Go across the bridge and turn right and
you will end up in the Governor’s mansion. Go through the door, head right,
pick up the health and go up the elevator. In the middle of the wall there is a
secret door. Open it to reveal a secret room. Pick up the stuff and then
continue to go through the door to get into the Governor’s office. You will get
a choice between two chores. One is messy, the other bloody.
3-2. Chore 1: The Messy One
going into it, turn around and go down the small staircase and talk to
MacGuffin. Choice #2 will reveal the location of of the illegal tap, but it
doesn’t matter which one you take. Flip the switch to lower the sewage level.
Jump down into the sewage and walk straight across to get to a hidden door.
Walk inside to find the tap, but don’t destroy it. Instead, continue into the
corridor to end up in a room with a broken power coupling. Pick it up and then
take the elevator up. Go right to reveal the passageway out. Now you are back
in the Interrogation room from the beginning of the game. Now head back to the
Governor to complete the chore. (If you destroy the power coupling you have to
fight some blue acolytes and will probably set off the alarm while doing it.)
3-3. Chore 2: The Bloody One
the Power Station is. Go inside and down the long corridor and down the
elevator. Turn right to end up in the Warehouse. Turn left and then right into
a room. Press the button to open the door to the lower part of the warehouse.
Go down the stairs. In the first crossing go right. The path will then turn to
the left. Then go left and follow the path down towards the elevator. Turn left
to walk down a path between boxes. On the right side you will spot Derwin. If
you talk to him he will set off the alarm, so just kill him. Then head back to
the Governor.Chore Completed!
3-4. Mission 1: Freeing the Prisoners Part 2
walk across the bridge and up the stairs. The Prison is on the right side. Get
in and talk to the Door Guard. He will open the door for you. After that walk
up the stairs and talk to Warden Montag. The Warden will sound the alarm. After
the conversation has ended, pick up the Assault Rifle and kill the Warden and
the guards. Be sure to pick up the Prison Key and then go down the stairs and
through the large door. (The keyhole is on the left side of the door.) Now it
is only to walk through the long corridors, killing spiders and guards until
you reach a large elevator. Use it to reach the lower floors. Go into the
corridor without a door. To the left is a room with supplies. After taking what
you need, go down the corridor and then go left. You will get to a room with an
altar, a couple of large staircases and some guards. On the backside of the
altar is a switch. Use it to open a secret passageway in one of the alcoves in
the corridor on the opposite sides of the room. Go into it to get some ammo and
such and then head up the stairs. Go through the door and kill the sentiel.
Behind the large computer there is a room with some supplies. Pick them up and
then walk up the stairs and talk to Judge Wolenick. Kill him, pick up his hand
and then head back to the Main Control room you passed earlier. Go in and
activate all the Hand Scanners to free the prisoners. If you need some health
and ammo, go up the elevator and look inside the towers, which were opened
while freeing the prisoners. The ammo is next to the elevator from the yard to
the entrance. Otherwise, just unlock the door to the large cells and head down
the corridor to find a teleporter. Go into it to get back to the base and then
talk to Macil.
4. Mission 2: The Power Crystal
and then get out of the base. Walk down past the shops to end up at the Power
Station.Walk down the long corridor and go right after the elevator to get to the
Warehouse. Go right and then left into a room and press the button to open the
door leading into the warehouse. Go down the stairs right outside the room and
then walk down the path. Turn right twice and you will find Warner. (He is
standing in a dark section of the room.) Talk to him to receive an ID to get
into the Power Station. If you look around in the Warehouse you will find some
health and other stuff, if you’re lucky. Then kill all the guards and go to the
Power Station entrance. (Walk out of the Warehouse and straight forward.) Talk
to the guard and then kill him. Walk into his room to receive the Mini Missile
Launcher. Then get out and turn left. Walk into the narrow corridor and flip
the switch to raise a passageway. Walk across it and into the corridor on your
left. Turn left and open the door. walk through this room, killing guards on
your way and you will end up at an elevator. Use it to get to the upper floor.
turn left and walk through the corridor. After the staircase turn left and talk
to the technician to get a new ID. Watch out for spiders. Walk across the room
and use the elevator going downwards. You will now end up in a room with three
corridors and a computer tech. Take the right corridor, walk across the room,
press the button and save. Now walk back across the ledge and watch out for the
ceiling. The black and yellow parts of the ledge is safe to stand on. When back
in the large room, take the newly opened left corridor. In the middle of the
room is a large hole with a structure sticking up. In the structure is a hole.
Jump over the fence and into the hole to receive some energy pods. Then jump
back out of it, go back to the large room and take the middle corridor to get
back to the main room. Jump down into the water, walk across it and then turn
left and walk up to the large door. Then turn right and walk through the
corridor. Press the button and then continue through the door. Go right, down
the stairs, kill the sentiel behind you and then talk to the technician. Kill

ammo where the sentiel was and the walk right down the corridor to find some
health and an environmental suits. Walk back and open the locked bars for some
health/ammo and then go back to the large door. Enter it, pick up the
Environmental Suits, use one of them and then continue through the next large
door. If the screen starts flashing green, just use another Environmental Suit.
Go right and kill the guard, then go into the room with colorful things going
up and down and use the elevator. Talk to Sammis and then activate the
switches. Go back to the large door and across the newly raised walkway and
then use the elevator. Talk to Ketrick and then kill him. Then press the button
on the wall to reveal the power crystal. Take out the Mini Missile Launcher,
walk up to the ledge, fire and then back off. Hopefully the guards will be
killed by the explosion. Otherwise, just kill them if you need any
Environmental Suits. When finished, go back to the Warehouse. Go right and
follow the path until you see a red line on your left side. Walking across it
will trigger the alarm, although with the guards dead that doesn’t matter. Walk
across it and press the button to get into the armory. Pick whatever you need
and then exit the Power Station. You will get a message from Blackbird telling
you to visit Irale and the medic (in town). Do so.
5. Mission 3: Blowing Up The Gates

gate. Then flip the other switch and jump down the hole.Go forward and then left. Take the elevator down and walk across the room. Go
up the stairs, kill the guards, press the button and go down again. Whenever
you are flashing green, use an Environmental Suit. Take the left corridor and
then go left up the stairs. After the stairs there is a door with a sign saying
Storage. Walk in and go through the storage to find the Grenade Launcher. Then
go back down the stairs and through the corridor to get back to the elevator
room. Now take the right corridor and then head right up the “stairs”. When you
get up, go into the door straight across the room and take the elevator up. Go
into the room, kill the guard and take his ID. Flip the switch, go out and go
right. Then turn right again to end up where the beggars live. Walk across
their home and through the door to find Weran. Talk to him. Then go out from

release a couple of crusaders, so watch out. Kill the crusaders and then search
for a third one. When all of them are dead the wall to the Programmer will be
lowered. Go up the stairs until you find the pyramid.
7. BOSS: Programmer
staircase leading up the pyramid. The programmer will wake up either when you
get close to him or when you shoot him. When he has awakened he will cause
lightnings to rain from the sky, so you have to move around pretty much. If you
get close to him, he will cut you with the spikes on his mini-UFO-thingie. To
defeat him, shoot him with mini missiles. Or if you’re lucky you can kill him
rather easily using WP grenades. He also becomes a bit easier if you can get to
the top of the pyramid since it is easier to take cover there. There are health
along the walls on the bottom level and on top of the pyramid. When he dies you
will receive your first piece of the Sigil! Now you also can cause lightnings
to rain from the sky, although it will drain some of your life. You will also
faint after defeating him. When you wake up you will stand in front of Macil.
Talk to him.

thatyou are in the Castle. Well, considering that the assault was a success,
the Front has now moved there. Cross the yard and enter the Hospital. Talk to
the Medic and the Weapons Trainer and then exit the castle. As you exit, the
path to your right will be opened. (If you want to you can now skip to after
the Chalice side mission, but if you want free supplies you should continue
reading.) Ignore that for now and head back to the old Front base in the Town
Hall.First go to where the Medic was to find some health, then go back out and up
the staircase. The wall where the banner was is a secret door. (It has a
different color that the ordinary walls.) Open it to find a corridor with
supplies. The go back to the storage room. Right next to the red boxes is
another secret door. Follow the corridor to find some more supplies. Along the
right-hand wall is yet another secret door. (Check map for loaction.) Enter to
find a Shadow Armor and an Ammo Satchel. Now exit and to the Tavern if you want
another side mission. Otherwise, just skip that section and go directly to the
path I told you to ignore earlier to enter the Borderlands.
8-2. Side Mission: The Golden Chalice
isn’t recommended due to the fact that the alarm will be sounded in Town and
that isn’t good. It also might prevent completion of the Governor’s chores. It
isn’t necessary to complete this mission, either. Do it if you want to…*Enter the Tavern and go up the stairs and enter the room on your right. Talk to
Harris to receive the mission. After that, exit the Tavern and enter the
Sanctuary. If you lowered the forcefield earlier, just go right and go up the
Elevator to find the room with the Chalice. Otherwise, head left and go all the
way to the other end to find the switch lowering the forcefield. When you have
the Chalice, just go back to Harris. As you enter the Tavern, the alarm will be
sounded. Take out the guards using poison arrows and then talk to Harris. Take
choice #2 in the conversation and then kill Harris to reveal a secret button.

chhose between a path with no guards or a path with guards. I actually
recommaned the path with guards, since it doesn’t involve jumping from platform
to platform on high altitudes. The alternate path is in the water to the right.
I wont cover it in this walkthrough, unless there is a demand for it. So, go
through the door and through the corridor. In the next room, go through the

out of his body. Spectres can only be damaged by the Sigil, so take it out and
shoot it. Many times. Watch your health, though… The Spectre will teleport
around, so be on your guard all the time. When the Spectre dissolves you will
get another part of the Sigil. Now return to the Oracle.
11. Intermission
ending and one to a good ending. To get to the worst ending, go and kill
Macil. To get to the good ending, kill the Oracle.
12. Mission 7: Macil, Friend or Foe? Part 1
However, if you choose to kill Macil you can head back to the base for upgrade
of health/accuracy. I recommend going back to the base to get that. There is a
teleporter in the middle of the stone structure in the Borderlands which you
can use. Get the upgrades and then talk to Macil and you can get the order to
kill the Oracle. Then return to the Oracle to fight him.BOSS: Oracle
First kill the Oracle, then turn around and his Spectre will teleport to that
location. Shoot it with the Sigil until it dies. His guards will attack you,
but they wont be much of a nuisance. (They might even be killed by the Spectre
…) You could shoot the guards with poison arrows before fighting with the
Oracle, though. After defeating the Spectre you will get the third piece of the
Sigil. After that, return to the base and talk to Macil.
13. Mission 8: Finding the Lost Keys
back to the Borderlands. Enter the building labeled Commons to enter the Order
Commons. Exit though the right door, then go down the path on your right.
Continue until you drop down and then turn left. Enter the small door next to
the staircase and then go through the first door on your right to find Richter.
Talk to him, then exit. Continue up the stairs and go through the room. Exit
through the door in the end of the short corridor to come out on a ledge with a
couple of guards. Drop down into the water on your right. (Water is filled with
gold goins…) Enter the Tavern and go up the stairs on your left, then turn to
your right and exit through the door in the end of the corridor. Go down the
stairs on your left and then go through the open door on your left to enter the
Catacombs.Start by turning right and follow the wall until you can turn right again.
Follow the corridor. When the water ends, it will turn. Continue forward after
it turns. Go down the stairs and turn right. Go forward a bit and then go into
the small chamber to the left and hit the switch. Exit, and go back up the
stairs you came from. When you can, drop down into the water on your right.
Turn right again and jump across the platforms. Go throgh the corridor and then
turn left when you get to the water. Go across the room and you will see a
staircase on your left. Go past it to find a switch. Flip it to lower the
water. Turn around, go forward and then drop down into the water on your left.
Walk up the staircase to enter the Ruined Temple.
This temple is crawling with enemies, so be on your guard… A good way to get
rid of the more dangerous enemies is to stay in the part you entered and shoot
some WP Grenades into the corridor. But be careful so you don’t hit yourself
instead… When the enemies are killed, proceed out into the corridor. To your
left and right, there is a couple of chambers with Health Packs/Ammo. Collect
it and then go take a look into the central courtyard. Kill the visible enemies
and then walk up to the temple in the middle.
14. BOSS: Spectre
to fight one after killing the programmer, so it must have hidden down here…
Just take out your sigil and shoot it. It isn’t that hard to defeat, just a bit
annoying since it has the same attack as the Programmer had. There are some
enemies in there, too, but most of them will probably die during the fight,
anyway. After killing it, collect the keys and return to the Catacombs.

corridor until you get to the large room where you entered the Catacombs. Go

forcefield… To remove it, turn right and go up the small staircase. Turn left

you can also enter it. Do so.Walk forward across the large, open area and go through the door on the other

itself. Continue forward and then turn right and you should see some ore. (
Yellow stones.) Pick them up and then go back to the elevator and use it to get
up.

forcefield. Go through the door, collect the ammo and gold, and then go up the
stairs. Flip the switch to reveal the machine controlling the drones. Shoot it
to disable it. When destroyed, you will get +10 Stamina and +10 Accuracy. A
pretty nice bonus…Side Mission Completed!
15-3. Mission 9: Entering the Factory Part 2
entrance and the other one is through the Mines. To avoid alarming all of the
guards in the Commons, it is better to go through the Mines, IMO, so exit the
room and ride the elevator down again. Now, take the left elevator instead of
the middle one. Go forward and then right to find an elevator. Use it and then
continue. Go through the large door to enter the Factory.

split. Go down either of them, kill the enemies and then destoy one of the
windows. Jump up to whereit was and look down. You should notice and alcove
next to the elevator. Use the grenade launcher to shoot a couple of HE grenades
into the alcove to kill a templar. Now go to the other side and do the same
thing, then take the elevator down. and go through the door to enter the
Conversion Chapel.After entering, go through the first door and then through the door on your
left. Go across the room and flip the switch, then turn around and walk across
the yellow square in the middle of the room. Looking towards where you entered,
take to right staircase. Go up, turn right and then left to spot a couple of
acolytes. Kill them and walk up to the bars and they will open. Open the door
and go up the stairs to find the Chapel Key. Exit, go forward and turn left. Go

Flip it and exit. Go across the water and up the stair to find the Red Crystal

base. To get there, turn around and use the teleporter behind you. But before
doing that, you could explore around the converter to find a couple of hidden
stashes with supplies. (They will be handy in the next fight…) After
teleporting you will end up in the entrance. Exit the chapel and go back the
way you came. All the way through the Mines and Commons. When back in the base,
talk to Macil.BOSS: Macil
Talk to Macil and he will attack you. Killing Macil isn’t that hard… Just
shoot him and he’ll die. The Spectre can be annoying though. Just apply the
standard avoid-attacks-while-attacking routine. As with all Spectres, only the
Sigil works. After Macil is dead, you will get another part of the Sigil.
18. Mission 12: The Laboratory
supplies that you need, because there is no need to return during this mission.
Go back to the Commons and walk up to the factory entrance. Disable the
forcefield and then enter the factory. (All the guards in the Commons will
start attacking you, so be quick…) If you prefer to be stealth, you could go
