Training Arena
The Training Arena is a place where Xena can fine-tune her jumping, kicking, and Chakram-throwing skills. Follow the instructions on each of the sign posts to complete the level. Search for hidden power-ups within the Arena.
Health Meter
The Health Meter displays Xena's physical condition. When the meter is full, Xena possesses 100% health. When the meter completely depletes, Xena is defeated. Karma Meter
The Karma Meter reflects Xena's ability to exercise restraint and defeat enemies using non-lethal fighting techniques. Each time she defeats an enemy with a kick or saves a hostage, Xena earns Karma points. When the Karma Meter completely fills up, Xena radiates a soft-golden glow and can temporarily perform double-strength attacks. Hostage Counter
Occasionally, Xena must rescue hostages. The Hostage Counter displays how many hostages Xena must free to successfully complete the level. To free a hostage, Xena must first defeat the enemy holding the hostage. Then Xena must ensure the hostage safely escapes from the danger. Each time a hostage is saved, the text "Hostage Saved" appears and the counter depletes by one. After the required amount of hostages has been freed, a key appears. Use this key to open the level exit to complete the level. If too many hostages die before Xena can save them, you must restart the level. The Chakram
The Chakram is Xena's signature weapon of choice. It is disk-shaped with razor-sharp edges and can be thrown to disable foes from a distance. To take out an enemy with the Chakram:
1. Face the enemy you want to attack, then press * + R1 to throw the Chakram.
2. Hold R1 and press the D-Button to guide the Chakram toward the enemy. After striking a target, the Chakram returns to Xena. •
If R1 is released after Xena throws the Chakram, Xena can move about and fight as the weapon flies around. •
To abort a throw and immediately return the Chakram to Xena, press *. Pause Menu
To access the Pause menu, press START during gameplay. Use the D-Button to select an option, then press * to select.
