Silver - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Silver - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

Then Apocalypse will fly further away, this means he is going to fire some fireballs at you.
Look in his direction and block.  That way the fireballs will be bounced back and you can do
some extra damage.

Now he will let some eruptions take place.  There isn't a full-proof method to avoid the
fire balls that fly out of the craters.  The way I did it was like this: go and stand right
next to a crater (bottom side), now this crater will erupt.  Once the eruption starts, run
to the other side in a diagonal way (so from bottom right to upper left or bottom left to
upper right).  Once you see you're clear, move to the bottom of the crater on this opposite
side.  Repeat this 3x then you start all over again

Repeat until he's finished.  Once he's lost all of is health, he'll fly toward the middle
of the screen and starts shooting fireballs at you.  Deflect them with your shield and watch
him explode.

All that rests now is the escape from the temple (which is quite lengthy) and sailing into
the sunset.


5. Special Moves
================

If you want to find out what the special move exactly does, try it out ... it's easier to
watch what it does than it is to explain!

Web of Death ... Ben (rebel camp) teaches you this SP the first time you talk with him
Reaper ......... Scroll found in Othias' Tower
Cleaver ........ Scroll left behind by an enemy, close to the tavern in Rain
Scythe ......... Scroll left behind by an enemy monk in the temple of the monastary
Falcon ......... Rebel teaches you upon entrance of sewer system 
Hurricane ...... Scroll found behind the wooden door of the Library Entrance (Golden Key
                 needed)
Berserker ...... Ben (rebel camp) teaches you this SP near the end of the game
Armageddon ..... Found on a scroll in locked sewer room (rusted key (green) needed)


6. Weapons
==========

Remember that some weapons are more effective if you perform a certain move.  eg. the battle
axe does a lot more damage when you use it in a swinging motion (CTRL + left/right) than a
thrusting movement.
Blunt weapons should be used with a regular stroke (CTRL + click).
Swords do the most damage if you use the thrusting movement (CTRL + forward).
Try to remember this, because it allows you to take out your opponents a lot faster.  But
even if you are using a sword it might be wise to use a swinging motion if you are
surrounded by a lot of enemies.
