F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch Cheats and Tips

Carrot Juice in F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch is a valuable health recovery item that Rayton can drink to restore his health. You can buy Carrot Juice from Wang at the foot of Torch Tower. Carrot Juice can only be used a few times before you need to find three EP Compounds to earn an extra bar. Carrot Juice can be upgraded using Plant Seeds, so it restores more health.

In order to upgrade your Carrot Juice, you need to progress through the story so that you rescue Pippin from the Prison. When you then reach Joffre street, Pippin will begin crying over his lost seeds. If you now give any Plant Seeds you find to Pippin, you will eventually be able to upgrade your Carrot Juice. To upgrade the Carrot Juice to Level 2 requires giving Pippin 10 Plant Seeds total. Level 3 is the maximum level your Carrot Juice can be upgraded to.

Then open the Red Drill Door that is in front of you with the Drill. Using the Drill's glide ability which is accessed by pressing and holding 'Circle' on your controller, you now need to head upwards so that you glide through the tunnel, avoiding the electricity on the floor. When you land at the other end of the tunnel, you will then hear a voice crying out for help. If you look to the bottom right of the screen, you will see a vent, which you will be able to smash by equipping the Fist and pressing 'Triangle' on your controller. Once the vent has been destroyed, you will be able to head down. If you then smash the wooden barrel that is to the far left, you will find the NPC called Flip inside who will give you the Skeleton Key which will enable you to open any chest that is locked.

In F.I.S.T Forged in Shadow Torch, it is crucial that you repair the massive mechanical fist Rayton weilds when it becomes damaged, so it continues working and restores his health.

In order to perform maintenance on the giant fist you need to find a terminal and select the 'Repair' option. You can always view the amount of health Rayton has by looking in the top-left corner of the screen, where it is displayed as a red bar.

Underneath the area name at the top there will be a percentage displayed which is based on how well you explore. Once that number reaches 100% you have discovered everything there is to find in that area.

In the same room where you encounter Mappo there will be a terminal you can use to unlock new skills or weapon moves in exchange for Furso, the currency used in F.I.S.T.: Forged In Shadow Torch.

To interact with the terminal, you need to press 'Square' on your controller and select 'Unlock Skills'. This will bring up a skill tree of branches paths with skills you can select and learn. As you progress through the game, acquiring weapons, more branches will open up with even more skills you can purchase.

This will bring up a new window that will have a description of the skill along with a video of the skill being performed. The cost of the skill will be displayed at the top right of the screen. If you want to purchase the skill and have the required amount of Furso press the X button again. If you don't want to buy the skill, press 'Circle'. Some skills require Data Disks, these can be obtained by killing enemies and bosses as you progress through the game. Make sure you pick up a few moves from these terminals whenever you stumble across them, as they will definitely come in useful later on in the game.

SP skills are special mechanical powers taught to you by Maser Wu that deal heavy damage, they can be great for crowd control or when you are being swarmed by enemies. These powers can be mixed in with combos to add more variety to your fighting style. SP Skills consume an SP bar, which means it differs from anything else you learn. In order to replenish your SP bar you need to attack enemies, every hit you land will refill a portion of an empty bar. An SP move can only be used when the SP bar is full, if the bar is not full it will begin to deplete again which means you have to be very aggressive in fights, you will never fill your bars by going on the defensive for too long. Another way to replenish your SP bar is by using Shock Batons which you acquire during the game. Whenever you successfully parry using a Shock Baton, you will consume one EP bar but gain one SP bar. You can also find SP Vials in pods throughout the game, which will instantly fully refill your SP bar.

You will now be able to use the teleporting device by interacting with it, take advantage of it to cut down your traveling time considerably.
