This game guide was written using the current game patch version 1.43.25.4015
(PATCH 0) on the Collector's Edition of the game for Single Player and version
1.0.43.4020 for Multiplayer. This guide should work with both versions (Regular
and Collector's Edition). I am a Founder's Account Player and will be on both
the online and offline versions of the game.
As of this writing in order to update your Single Player game you have to load
the Launcher (window that shows single and multiplayer selection) and wait a
second to see if the demon face will turn in to a button to check for patches.
(The button isn't always there so the server isn't over run with people
downloading the patch) You can also try this link and download the Launcher
Quick Patcher to install the latest update. I am not sure if just keeping this
file and checking it once in a while will keep you up to date or if you must
download a new patcher everytime until the next update comes out.
downloads.hellgatelondon.com/patches/launcher/LauncherQuickPatcher.exe
As for updating Multiplayer simply log on to the multiplayer and it will
download any updates needed to play with the current online version.
Due to the FAQ being really long, it is best to use the CTRL+F feature to
search the Table of Contents to get to the section you want faster.

As you begin in Russel Square you will get your first video transmission,
press Enter to open the transmission. A man named Murmur is stranded and needs
your help back to safety. Head through the city streets killing off the Zombies
as you head deeper inside. Soon you will meet up with Murmur, talk to him to
find out that he was with some Templar on a special mission. He tells you to
help him locate the Templar Seraph.
Continue through the streets to locate the Templar Seraph at the square and
take down all the Zombies in the area. Talk to him and he tells you that you
must find Dr. Fawkes and talk to Lann and give him Fawkes' Communique. You
must head to Covent Garden Station. Grab the folder from the Templar and
continue on to locate the portal to Holborn Station.
Head down the stairs and talk to Murmur at the bottom of the escalator to learn
that the portal to Covent Garden Approach is broken and you need to help them

about to go up against. Head out through the portal that was previously locked
and you will immediatly receive a transmission from a Templar out in the field.
He tries to tell you that there was something that came out and took Fawkes in
to the Rift. Navigate through the city as you kill off the demons and close to
the back of the instance you will locate your first Hellrift.
Enter the Hellrift and a level 5 Boss, Shulgoth, will run up the stairs to
attack you. Try to stay on the top as there are a lot of Imps below. He can not
go through the Hellrift so you can use that as a make-shift wall. He will swing
at you with his large claw, getting it stuck in to the ground. Use this as an
opportunity to attack. Watch out for his flame breathe as this can torch you
fast.
Kill off the boss and then work on the Imps and possibly a range of other
monsters. Once they are all killed just work your way to the structure and
search the body of Dr. Fawkes for his remains and head back to Brandon Lann in
the station for your reward.

Receive Quest From: Brandon Lann
Receive Reward From: Brandon Lann
Quest Destination: British Museum
Level Required: 6
Reward: None
I recommend you level up to at least level 9 or 10 for this quest.
Talk to Brandon Lann and he will tell you that the information you brought back
from Fawkes' remains has now been gathered about two technologies. Far Sight
which identifies active Hellrifts and The Device. Take the Fawkes Device and
talk to the Templar Guard next to the Wanted Poster for a little more
information on your mission. Now head around the corner and up the stairs to
enter Bloomsbury.
Navigate your way through Bloomsbury and you will eventually locate the portal
leading to the British Museum. Head up the stairs and there will be a high
percentage chance that some demons will teleport in to the room as you reach
the first landing. Kill them all and continue up the stairs, once you reach the
top head up the right set of stairs and start clearing out the large room of
from the demons. Be careful as they will spawn twelve Fellbore at a time
instead of the standard three at a time per portal.
Clear out all the side rooms full of Fellbore that spawn through portals, the
Tormentors, and the flying demons. Eventually you will come across the
Hellrift, you don't have to kill all the demons in the area for it to show up
but it is recommended. Go in to the Hellrift and you will have to face a level
6 Boss named Sekworm. He has the ability to recharge his health so whenever you
can, quickly take down the Imp Troopers and Imp Snipers around the area so they
don't help him take down your health for long.
Once the Imps are taken care of focus on Sekworm by using weapons that can stun
so you can take his life down fast. Once you have taken everyone down head to
the structure and place Fawkes Device on the pedestal to activate a bomb that
will destroy the Hellrift. Run back through the Hellrift to Earth as the place
starts to explode. As you come out of the Hellrift the statues that were
holding the swords will start to live. You must now survive against these level
6 demons. Kill the Emperor demon and all the others will die with him, this is
a nice spot to kill off demon statues for some extra XP if you aren't having
any trouble against them.
Once the battle is over you will be teleported to a long room with a Sage. Talk
to her and start a new quest.

Hellgate: London's Templar are based off followers of the ancient rituals and
rites of the Knights Templar, an order who has writings told of demonic
invasion centuries ago. The order, since the Middle Ages, has been prepared for
the apocolypse and has trained in holy magic as well as organizing their
followers against the forces of hell.
The True believers, the keepers of the faith, and the destroyers of all evil.
Both organized and highly motivated, with centuries of training and
preparations against fighting the demons from hell.
The Knights Templar was a military order that was around in the Middle Ages.
It was originally created after the first Christian Crusades in the 11th
century AD. There job was to keep the European Christians safe while en route
to the holy land of Jerusalem after it fell to Christian forces. Eventually
through the years they were endorsed by the Christian Church and therefore
became fairly powerful in medieval Europe in the mid-12th century. The Templar
had both military power and huge financial wealth throughout Christendom.
Having such wealth made them have powerful enemies, which included King Philip
IV of France and Pope Clement V.
Around the early 14th century, Pope Clement V took down the order with force,
usually by arresting Templar members and torturing them into confessions, and
ending it by burning them at the stake. Even after these acts the Templar still
live on to this day thanks to their secretive initiation ceremonies and
practices along with other aspects.
There are rumors that the Knights Templar had both the opportunity and the
motive to secretly hide one of Christendom's most cherished holy artifacts, the
Holy Grail. More than one historian has stated that the Templar was the final
keeper of the Holy Grail and discovering where they hid it could lead people
today to finding it. Or it just might be a myth....
These highly trained fighters come in two classes, Guardians and Blademasters.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
4.01.01 - Guardian
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
The Guardian is used mainly for melee fighting over ranged attacks, even though
they tend to do less damage than the others in melee. Instead they can use
various auras available to them as you go through the game. This gives the
Guardian a nice range of offensive and defensive advantages that add to their
power.

+Guardian Weaponry+
+++++++++++++++++++
The Guardians are allowed to use weapons that all other Templar can use as
well. The only item that Guardian can use that other Templar can't is the Hand
Grappler. This item allows the Guardian to grab an enemy nearby and pull them
in close so the Guardian can deal better damage.
Hand Grappler
Swords
Shields
Flamethrower
Grenade Launcher
Homing Pistol
Machine Pistol
Nova Gun

+Guardian Skills+

The skill set is a combination of passive and active auras with healing and
