Actions
Press the L3 button to open doors, pick up weapons from the ground, drop the weapon you are currently holding, and talk to characters in the game.
Healing
There are two ways that you can heal your character. The quickest way is to press the SELECT button. You can do this in the middle of combat. By doing so, you will automatically use the smallest healing salve that you have in your inventory.
The other method is to press the START button to open up your inventory and manually select the healing salve you want to use.
Attacking Enemies
Basic Attacks
There are two basic styles of attack, Unarmed and Weapon. Your character will automatically switch between fighting types as you press the various attack buttons.
For example, if you are using a sword and press the Light Unarmed Attack button, your character will put away the sword and throw a punch or kick. The Weapon Attacks will vary depending on the particular weapon you are holding.
Attack Combos
Attack combos allow you to land successive blows that deal more damage to an enemy. All attack combos start with the Light Attack button for a fighting style and consist of 2 to 4 commands from that fighting style.
For example, all Unarmed Attack combos use the two Unarmed Attack buttons. Here are two basic combos that can be used for both Hand-to-Hand and Weapon styles:
Special Moves
When you begin the game, you will be given a set of Special Moves, and can earn more as you continue to play. Special Moves are very damaging blows that will usually finish off weaker enemies.
Some enemies will become stunned after you successfully complete an attack combo. When this happens, you can perform a Special Move on that enemy. You don't have to make the enemy dizzy to grab him, but it will be easier if you do so.
•
Tip: A successful Special Move that defeats an enemy will give you bonus experience.
Stand next to a stunned or damaged enemy and press the L2 button to grab hold of him. You now have limited time to perform a Special Move. You must perform a Special Move that relates to the fighting style and/or weapon you are currently using.
For instance, if you are holding a sword, you must perform a Sword-based Special Move. The same goes for Unarmed, Spear, and Axe-based moves. Special Move commands are listed in the Pause menu.
If you fail to enter a Special Move in time, make a mistake, or enter the wrong Special Move command for your current fighting style, the enemy will break away. Note that other non-stunned enemies can attack you while you try to complete the Special Move, so strike as quickly and accurately as possible.
Defending Against Enemies
Basic Blocking
Pressing and holding the L1 button will allow your character to perform a basic block. Although basic blocking will reduce the amount of damage taken by your character, damage will still occur, and the weapons you are carrying will be destroyed once they have taken enough damage.
Combo Blocking
Combo blocking allows you to avoid all damage from enemy attack combos. When an enemy approaches and begins an attack combo, the Block icon will flash to indicate that you can attempt to block the entire combo.
To do this, you must press the L1 button in sync with the attacks. Keep your eye on the Block icon; it will pulse to let you know when to block.
•
Tip: Try to learn the combo blocking system. It helps you to avoid all damage.
•
Tip: Successfully evading Combo attacks will restore some lost health.
Evading
Another method of avoiding damage is to evade or roll out of the encounter. To do this, press the R1 button and move the left analog stick away from the attackers. Your character will attempt to disengage from combat and evade the attack. This method is particularly useful when you are surrounded by enemies.
Jumping
Press the R1 button to make your character jump. If you press the R1 button again at the peak of your jump, your character will perform a super jump and soar to places that seem otherwise out of reach. Hold the R1 button to help your character glide gently to the ground.
Dashing
By pressing and holding the R2 button, you can make your character run for a limited amount of time. You can also use this command to perform a wall run. Do this by dashing while moving along the surface of a flat wall.
