TIPS FOR FIGHTING:
As soon as you have learnt a weapons skill you will be able to use a combina-
tion attack. Your teacher will have given you a few guide lines also. Press the
CTRL and up keys to swing your weapon, if you do it at the right moment –
after each swing, you will have a more effective attack as before. Try it out
without an opponent - it looks good too.
You can equip your weapon while running too, but you are only able to attack
head on and you must time it right. The disadvantage of this attack is that you
can’t change the direction of your hit. Still, it may be worth a try to catch your
victim unaware. This form of attack works only with one-handed weapons,
two-handed weapons are too heavy.
Long-range combat: As soon as you have an aim on your opponent
Two-handed weapons: These are heavier and larger than other weapons and
you will need a great deal more strength to hold them, but they do far more
damage than one-handed weapons. The talent levels are as above.
Bow / crossbow: To use long-range weapons a certain amount of dexterity is
needed. The more you have, the better the weapon you are able to use. To use
crossbows you will need more dexterity as for normal bows but these do more
damage. Here there are also two skill levels, as above, your aiming will be
better and the time it takes you to re-load will be decreased.
Opening locks: You can try to open anything with a lock on it with a lock-
pick. You have to press the left or right arrow keys for as long as it takes to
find the combination. E.g: Left, right, right, left.
If you turn the pick in the wrong direction (this can be heard) you will have to
start over again. If you have learnt this skill you will find the lock-picks won’t
break by every mistake.
Some locks can only be opened with the right key.
Pick-pocketing: You must be able to sneak to try this skill. If someone is stood
near you switch to sneak-mode and sneak towards him, by pressing CTRL and
up when he is in focus you can pick his pockets, it shouldn’t be too hard if you
have learnt the skill, unless of course he tries to move away.
Sneaking:This skill is used by pressing the ‘a’ key. You can sneak into huts and
up to people as long as you’re not seen.
Acrobatics: This skill makes it possible for you to jump further and fall further
without getting hurt.
Circles of magic: To be able to use the runes of a certain circle you will have to
learn the appropriate level. Scrolls can be used without a talent.
