The Bow
With the Bow, Rau can strike from a
distance or get in some quick shots
from close range.
Focused Attack
To hit a focused target, use the Right
analog stick to focus the enemy.
When the Attack Icon appears over his
head, press the matching button to
launch the arrow. Enemies attacked in
this way may take several arrows
before falling in defeat.
Manual Aim
To manually aim the Bow for a body shot:
1.Press and hold the L1 button.
2.Use the Left analog stick or
Directional button to center the
enemy in your view. Unless the
enemy is too close, auto targeting
will snap to the enemy and assign
him a flashing ≈ Icon.
3.When the flashing ≈ Icon
appears over the target’s
head, press the ≈ button
to release the arrow.
To fire at the head and drop the
enemy in one shot, carefully adjust
your aim until the ≈ Icon stops
flashing and release the arrow.
The Hazards of
Sword Fighting
• If fighting in a confined area,
the sword may strike a wall
and stop the completion of
the swing or combo.
• If you are in combat and Rau
swings a weapon into wood
or other soft material, his
sword may become stuck,
leaving him vulnerable until
he can pull the weapon free.
• It is best to avoid swinging
weapons near walls or
wooden objects. Try to
draw the fight out to an
optimal position.
TIPS & STRATEGIES
MELEE COMBAT
•You do not have to see a
targeted enemy if you want to
attack him. Watch the edge of
the screen for his icon,
pressing the corresponding
button will make you face him
then send you in his direction.
• Getting out of trouble: If a
group of enemies are
attacking you, and you feel
overwhelmed, try locking on
and attacking a target outside
of the pack. Doing this will
cause Rau to leap out of
trouble, and may buy you
a second or two.
TIPS & STRATEGIES
STRATEGY
• Be on the lookout for golden
perches. They are more difficult
to find than others are, but will
reveal more of the storyline as
Kuzo translates the symbols
for you.
• Remember to save as often as
possible, but be warned; saving
when you are weak, or in a
dangerous situation could be
devastating, as you will always
be returned to that state of
health when reloading.
