Things You Should Know

Strategies for Killing Enemies
The best move in this whole game is what I refer to as the "wall push attack." With your sword drawn, move toward a wall and push against it then simultaneously hit your Attack and Action buttons. You will go horizontal and push off the wall knocking down your enemy and then you can quickly Dagger him/her. This works on almost all enemies except for the cave men guys who swing the sledge hammers. They block that attack every time. For those guys, use the Vault Attack. That is running toward an enemy and then hitting the Action Button which will cause you to run up and over the enemy and slash him with a quick 1 - 2 combo and you'll knock him down. Those are the two attacks that I used for 95% of this game.

In rare situations I found the Mega Freeze to be useful. This special attack is only available if you have all of your Power Tanks (the white half-moons) filled up and you have a Power Tank for each Yellow Circle. To do a Mega Freeze, simultaneously pull the Special Action and Rewind buttons. This will freeze all of your enemies. Then, you can move lightning fast to each of them and slash them quickly. This is a great way to get rid of a good 8-10 guys all at once.

While you're fighting you'll often want to fill up on Health with a quick drink of water. Make sure to put your sword away, then run over to the water fountain or pool. Putting your sword away unlocks you from enemies and makes for quicker drinking. Also, don't be greedy. Get a quick gulp in then continue fighting. Obviously, this only applies when you're fighting enemies. Normally, drink all the water you need.

There are Health Upgrades in this game. They are found in hidden rooms/areas. I have made them bolded so you can look for "Health Upgrade" if you're looking for one.

Rewinding
Your Dagger of Time allows you to rewind time so long as you have sand in your hourglass (yellow circle meter). If you move your control stick in any direction while rewinding it makes the rewinding go faster. This is helpful if you're doing a lot of rewinding in the same place for instance.

See "You Have Unleashed the Sands of Time (5%)" for more info on the Dagger and Power Tanks.

Watching Visions
At every Save Point, you'll get a Vision. Pay attention to them as they will give you a glimpse of what you should be doing next. You can always walk back into the Save Point and watch the Vision again if you'd like.

Terminology
"wall run up," means run straight up the wall using your Special Action Button.
"wall run along" some wall, means to do a wall run along a wall. You have to get a slight moving start to do this.
"bar," means a horizontal bar sticking out of the side of the wall.
"pole" or "column," means a vertical pole or column either coming up from the floor or extending down from the ceiling (a hanging pole).
"wall push attack," see above Enemy Strategies.
"wooden beam," a horizontal beam made of wood that would look like the exposed beams of a ski lodge, for example.
