I: Introduction
Hello, all. This is my second time writing an item guide. If you?ve
previously played X-Men Legends 2: Rise of Apocalypse and use gamefaqs.com
for help, you may have seen or used my item guide for that game. If so,
I hope you found it useful. Anyhow, the developers at Raven are back
again with another action-rpg, this time featuring some of the most
popular and powerful of Marvel?s mighty heroes. Throw in a heap of
Avengers, the complete Fantastic Four, a sprinkling of mutants, and a few
of their partners in crime fighting, and you get Marvel: Ultimate
Alliance. Sit back, relax, and get ready to save the universe. No biggy,
right?

II: Purpose of this guide

Ah, item collection. A way to add to the lifespan of a game. A way to
get people to explore their gaming environment and occasionally reward them
for doing so. Worry not, fans of item collection, this game has plenty of
things to find, and the rewards for doing so are certainly worth it. I?m
just here to help you find that one thing that?s been escaping your grasp.
Don?t kick yourself when you find out you should have seen it the last 3
times you passed it.
Or if you?re one who likes to get through the game quickly (you are a busy
person, of course), but don?t want to spend a number of hours looking for

every last concept sketch, allow me to help you get things done in a hurry.
III: What items get you
A) Sketch books get you concept art. Finding all sketch books gets you
bonus art from Blur, the company that made the cool fully-rendered cutscenes.
B) Simulator Discs get you simulator programs. Completing the simulator
program for a playable character gets you an additional uniform for that
character that cannot legitimately be gotten any other way. Completing
all simulator programs (including ones whose title is a non-playable
character, such as the Shocker or Mysterio ones) will unlock the Silver
Surfer (former herald of Galactus).
C) Black Panther and Daredevil action figures (5 of each) will unlock the
playable characters Black Panther (king of Wakanda and Storm?s husband)
and Daredevil (who was blinded by radioactive materials, resulting in the
enhancement of his other senses). Hmmm, I wonder which of those two has
it better. :) Since there are more than 5 of each action figure laying
around for you to find, any additional figures you find after acquiring
the required 5 will turn into experience point bonuses.
D) Body, Focus, and Strike bonuses- For each body bonus you get, you will
have an additional 3 points of health for your character. It?s not much,
but after a while it adds up. Focus bonuses allow your character to have
more energy and a higher rate of energy regeneration. Again, you get 3
points of energy for each focus point you get. Strike bonuses allow you
to do more damage with melee attacks. You only get 1 point of strike,
but again, it adds up.
E) Skill points make it so you can acquire new powers or upgrade ones
you already have.
F) Experience point (XP) bonuses are actually just additional action
figures that you don?t need anymore. They are a way of rewarding you
for collecting the action figures, making it easier for you to level up.
G) Load screens/cinematics- these aren?t actually items, so they?re not
covered in the guide. You?ll unlock load screens by random chance as you
enter areas, and the cinematics will all unlock themselves as you play
through the story mode.

replace it at the next bead location, there will be three directions (on
your map) that you can go. Take the left path (one of the ones with a
death trap vacuum sort of thing), and look around the outside of the room
for it. Just remember to keep pressing the ?swim up? button so you don?t
get sucked into the vortex.

items in the Fun House)
+1 striking- at the end of the path from opening door number 3;
activates a trap.

Note: By now you can have all Black Panther and Daredevil action figures
if you?ve collected them all so far. In case you?re missing one that you
can?t go back to (the Black Panther in the Dive Chamber is one, the Black
Panther in a grave plot that becomes closed off after destroying the
tombstones is another, and the Daredevil in the fake Dr. Doom?s castle
is the third), I?ll list one more Daredevil and two more Black Panther
locations in act 3 so you know where to look for an additional one (or
two in Panther?s case). There are additional ones after these, but they
turn into experience point bonuses, so I?m not sure whether they are
Daredevil figures or Black Panther ones. If you still don?t have five
out of the six (or seven) locations I list, try checking out those places
I list as experience point (or XP) locations. I?ll try not grabbing the
early ones in a later version of this guide to find out which XP
locations correspond to which characters? action figures.
Act 3- Asgard
Hub 3- Courtyard of the Gods

as XP bonuses until I know which action figure they correspond to)- in
grass down the right path from the beginning of the section
+1 skill point- in a weapons cache (treasure chest, whatever) by one
of the buildings
Odin?s Courtyard(note: regardless of whether you choose the east or west wing of
Odin?s Courtyard first, you?ll need to push a statue of Tyr {in the west
wing}and Heimdall {in the east wing} onto a certain pressure-activated
block in that wing in order to get the bonuses they lead to. The doors
to the bonuses will not open unless you have properly placed both statues)
Anyway, the bonuses, which are all in the middle section of Odin?s
Courtyard (can be accessed from either wing after the statues are placed)
are:
+1 striking

+1 focus- past a half-sunken boat
Simulator Disc- Shocker- treasure chest that Volla?s ring was in.
(note: the disc will not be there when you initially open it to find the
ring. I recommend you open the chest, save your game at the nearby
X-traction point, and reload your game. Return to the chest, and it
should be there. Screwy, eh?)
XP bonus- on top of the cabin by the X-traction point.
Battleground+1 body- by the watch tower you can set on fire. (note: if you push
the boulder that is nearby onto it, you will not be able to get it at that
time. I?m not sure if you can get it at a later point. I?ll check on
that and update this in a later version of the guide.)

open up a new path. Take this path and you?ll see the body bonus.
