Hints/Tips

[cuzer]

Hi, think I'm right in saying there is no manual for this game? I'm quite new to this genre of game so finding combat a struggle and too much bashing without strategy, not helped by the poor camera movement in all fairness!
However, the hints and tips which pop up when you first play are great, but at the time you are generally in the middle of the game and as far as I can see you can't access these again?

I need some help on the energy bars of the enemy

I've figured out the number is their level in relevance to yours, what do the two bars represent on the enemy, presume one is life and one stamina but I may be wrong? Which is which?
Also the little legend and the colours, is say a a red coloured cross hair telling me guns won't work against that foe or are more likely to work against it? I notice sometimes they are yellow colour, seems they are against blood attacks, weapons, what are the other two can anybody help?

Such a shame you can't access these tips again to refresh what the game tells you

Thanks in advance

Hey there!

Enemies have 2 bars. The top - RED is their life. The small white bar that appears VERTICALLY on it after you give them a specific type of dmg (aka vampire) skills, means they will not heal back up past that white bar. The large gray-white bar under the health bar is not stamina, but "defense" in a way. These bars show you how much more alt-fire attackyou need to do in order to STUN the target so you can embrace them and drink their blood. In other words, if you are using a club or a stake, when you right click you stun them, so that when they have no more white bar they drop downa nd you can press F and drink their blood.

The little legend and colors are the types of damage the enemy is strong AGAINST. For example, if it is a double crossed swords, that means your enemy will resist a large chunk of PHYSICLA dmg (aka sword, club, claw attack). If it has a sniper crosshair, that means they wil resist ranged attack meaning pistols, shotguns, etc. If they have a head like icon with stripes they will resist SHADOW type attacks (your vampire skills). And if they have a blood drop it means they will reiest blood skills like your blood lance. / spear. So you always want to use the type of skills they ARE NOt resistant to in order to inflict the most damage.

On the same topic, a RED icon means they have a very high resistance to that type of attack, and orange icon means they have about 50% resist. You will still inflict good dmg, but not as good as you'd like.
