Story
RESEARCH
I've contacted the National Archeology College Association regarding Barnett's contributing budget for field work. Recent funding from the WPA has increased my overall expense margin, but the Board seems to think I'm more of a grave robber than a historian. Apparently, the Works Progress Administration specifies rigid guidelines for "conservation archeology." At least the Museum knows I'm only interested in preserving and protecting antiquities from profit hunters.
Feb 8
Good news! Marcus wants me to help locate an artifact in Ceylon, and the campus Board of Directors is more than happy to send me on a sabbatical. Maybe I shouldn't have used Marcus' government connections to have FDR straighten out my budget dispute! I've cabled my friend at the Consulate for the inside scoop. I'll head out in search of the lost city of Aranpura and the Savarati Idol as soon as I hear back from him.
I was greeted with a traditional ceremony. "Ayubowan" with hands clasped.
Feb 11
Albrecht Yon Beck (?) is after the idol as well. This tip comes from a most unlikely source: Belloy! Though Belloy and I fiercely compete for the same artifacts, it appears the rivalry between Yon Beck and Belloy is even greater!

Outlined is the routine I've recommended for improving your mobility. Though you've not sustained any lasting injury from your last expedition, you seem to have a knack for getting punched in the face. Take care of that whip arm as well.
Proper exercise is the best treatment I can offer, but I've also approved a prescription for minor muscle pain. Your diet could use improvement too! A stiff belt of whiskey isn't hurt either!

Press the left analog stick up while hanging to pull yourself up, or press the Jump button (button) to dismount from a hanging position. To climb certain vertical obstacles, look for ladders, vines, stone blocks or scaffolding. Approach the wall and press up on the left analog stick to climb. Pressing the button before reaching the top will cause you to let go and drop.

Doc says I need to participate in less strenuous digs. If he only knew! I'm still aching from that mishap near the Marquesas Islands. I think I'll avoid the water for awhile!
Checked into my hotel in London. A cable from Dad was waiting. Though the impending war hasn't really affected home yet, he sounded pretty concerned about me flying back and forth across European borders. A lot of ruckus in Ethiopia lately and the French control in Somalia is falling apart. It's just diverting attention from the real troublemakers though.

Special Moves
Shimmy
While hanging from a precipice, pressing the left analog stick left or right will make you shimmy along the edge. Pressing up will pull you back up (if possible).
You can dismount by pressing the Jump button ( button), but be careful you don't fall!
Wall Hug
Press the Action button ( button) while facing a wall to hug your back to the wall. This is useful for traversing narrow ledges (by pressing the left analog stick) or to stealthily see around corners (by pressing the right analog stick) without exposing yourself to an enemy.
Press the Action button ( button) again to disengage from the wall.
•
Note: If you are carrying your gun while Wall Hugging, you can lean around corners with the L1 and R1 buttons and shoot with the Primary Attack button ( button).
Swim
Press the Jump button ( button) to swim, and the left analog stick to control your direction. Remember, you can only hold your breath for a limited time.
Watch your Air Bar and resurface, if you can, to get more air. A lack of air detracts from your Health Meter (see page 25). Don't drown! You can pull yourself out of the water by pressing up on the left analog stick only at an area that is close to the water level.
Roll
Pressing the L1 button while running will perform a roll. The roll can be used to navigate through low spaces, and is useful in evading certain traps and enemy attacks.
Whip Swing
The whip is your most valuable tool. Not only can you crack it at an enemy (see Combat Moves on page 20), but you can also use it to swing across a chasm.
You can swing from a wide variety of objects that extend from walls or ceilings. Not all whip swing anchors may look like this, but if you are able to perform a whip swing a Whip Swing Action Icon will appear in the upper-right corner of the screen (see page 24).
•
Press and hold the Primary Attack button ( button) to grab the marker with your whip.
•
If you release the Primary Attack button ( button) before you reach the bottom of your swing, you will fall.
•
If you hang on too long and stop swinging, press the left analog stick in the appropriate directions to resume your swing.
•
Furthermore, with good timing you can also swing from one target to another by releasing the Primary Attack button ( button) and quickly pressing the button again to strike another target.
Rope Swing
If you encounter a rope or chain, press the Jump button ( button) to jump and grab on.
•
To swing, press the left analog stick in the appropriate direction.
•
Use the right analog stick to turn and face another direction.
•
To climb the rope, press the right analog stick up or down.
•
You can release the rope (don't fall!) by pressing the Jump button ( button) again.
Setting a Charge
If you find a Demo Charge, you can strategically place it on destructible walls or floors by pressing the Action button ( button) and running to a safe distance before the fuse runs out. An icon of a bomb will appear in the upper-right corner of the screen if you are near an area that can be affected by a Demo Charge (see page 24).
Falling
If you hold down the R1 button while carefully walking off a precipice, you will automatically catch the edge. This technique allows you to safely lower yourself from dangerous heights.
Otherwise, you will sustain varying damage from a fall. If you fall too far, you will surely die (see Health Meter on page 25). However, you will not be hurt if you fall into water, unless from a great height.
Combat Moves
You will fight your enemies in either Close Combat or Ranged Combat.
Close Combat is bare-
