ACTIONS
Press the ≈ button to trigger context sensitive actions
(e.g. opening doors) at specific points during the
game. On occasion, there may be more than one
action that can be performed and at these times the
√ button may be pressed to cycle through the
available options.
HELP
Press the ç button when controlling either character
to trigger a short conversation between Jen and Scree.
Jen will ask Scree for hints as to what they should
be doing.
STATUS DISPLAY
Press and hold the ç button to call up on screen
information. This information includes a compass,
display of how many energy gems Jen possesses and
how many lode stones Scree possesses. By default
Jen’s demon energy level is only shown briefly when
the level changes. Use the Status Display setting
in the Display options section if you wish to
change this.
NOTE: When Jen is in demon form, the glow of her armlets
and tattoo indicate her energy level at all times.
CAMERA
The camera may be controlled with the right analog
stick. Use the camera to look around the character as
they explore.
Press the ∂ button (or the button during
combat) to realign the camera behind the controlled
character. When not in combat, press and hold the
∂ button to enter a ‘head look’ camera mode.
Use this to look around the world for secrets.
COMBAT
Once Jen has obtained the dagger, or later her demon
forms, she is able to engage enemies in combat. Before
she can fight, she must activate her weapons.
Approaching an enemy and pressing the ß button or
the ƒ button will cause Jen to draw her blade if in
human form, or activate her demon weapons if in
demon form. She will automatically lock on to the
nearest enemy.
Once Jen is locked on to an enemy, press the
ß button or ƒ button to launch left or
right attacks. Pressing the å button will
launch a spinning attack (useful for repelling
several enemies).
The ß button and the ƒ button are pressure
sensitive: if you press them gently Jen will perform fast,
weaker attacks and pressing more firmly will trigger
slower, yet stronger attacks.
Press the ß button and the ƒ button together for
Jen to perform a super attack. These moves are the
slowest to execute, but will cause the most damage.
