Once you arrive into the harbor of Stros M'Kai you get your first taste of steel as your ship is attacked by two ruffians of the Restless Leauge Pirates Guild. Better be quick or you'll be dead! Swordfighting is essentiual to this game, so you better learn those keys fast. Using the Ctrl key and the arrow keys will direct your sword thrust, while holding down the Alt key will defend your enemies attack. Once you get the basics it's time to get advanced. The Control key will give you the basic Single Slash, hitting the Ctrl key twice will give you the Double Slash, hitting the Ctrl key three times .... well gives you the Triple Slash, although this gives the most damage it also you leaves you open for an attack. Want a power attack, just hit the forward arrow key and the single thrust Ctrl key, it will key those pesty guards and pirates at bay. The Lunge Attack, will keep Cyris a safe distance away from his attacker, use the forward arrow key and the Double Slash combination to achieve this end. Sidestepping attacks, backstepping incoming lunges, and jumping are all excellent swordfighting techniques. Although jumping makes Cyris look like a fool, it is actually a very effective tool to use. Try it and see!
