SCREE:
SPECIAL ABILITIES
CLIMBING
Being a gargoyle, Scree can climb any brickwork surface. He
cannot climb walls that have smooth or plastered surfaces. To
make Scree climb, simply walk him into a wall – if it’s made
of brick he’ll automatically start to climb! Once Scree is on a
wall, crawling to the top or bottom edge will allow him to
climb off.
TURNING TO STONE
Press the Ω button and Scree will turn to stone. He will
automatically use this ability whenever Jen is engaged in
combat. Whilst in stone form, Scree is impervious to attack.
STATUE POSSESSION
Another of Scree’s unique gargoyle abilities is the power to
project his spirit into the form of certain effigies and statues.
In order to achieve this, he must first empower himself with
the essence from lode stones. These are rare stones found
throughout Oblivion that are made from the same material as
the statue to be possessed. Different statues require Scree to
absorb different numbers of stones.
When Scree is within range of a statue that can be possessed,
he will glow with energy. At this time, press the ≈ button to
trigger the spirit transfer. Press the ç button to return Scree’s
spirit to his usual gargoyle form.
NOTE: Different statues have different control options.
SPECIAL MECHANISMS
DOORS
Either character may open doors. Move to a door and
press the ≈ button to open it. Some doors are too
heavy for one character and must be opened by both
together. The second character will be automatically
called over to assist.
ROPE
Once Scree has found the rope, he can use it to allow
Jen to climb to places which would otherwise be
inaccessible to her. Stand Scree near an appropriate
edge and press the ≈ button. He will drop the rope if
there is suitable ground below. Once the rope is
dropped, control will switch to Jen. Walk her to the
edge and press the ≈ button to make her climb on.
Push µ or ≤ on the left analog stick to climb.
