Section 2: Introduction
[ACACS2]
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
In the year 1190 AD, an assassin by the name of Alta�r Ibn
La-Ahad returns home to find chaos. He must seek out the
Chalice to, well, save the world. As any good assassin
would know, he must use a wide array of acrobatic skills,
deadly weapons, and mysterious items to make his mission
a success.
This guide is here to help you get to know all of your
options while fighting the templars, and what to use where,
when, and how. This is NOT meant to be a walkthrough to
the game, and you should look to those by DBM11085's and
stuntman_hy's FAQ for full walkthrough information. This
is here simply to expand upon all of the tricks of the
trade used by you, as an assassin, in Alta�r's Chronicles.
I wrote this FAQ simply because everyone who I told about
this game wanted to know in-depth about all of the weapons
and abilities you had, and I finally told someone that I'd
just make a stupid FAQ so they can look there, so here it
is! ... uhh ... minus the stupid part, :P
I hope you enjoy this guide, and it is helpful!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Section 3: Weapons and Items
[ACACS3]
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Throughout the game, you will "acquire" many weapons and
items you will need to complete your quest. These are all
listed here, along with descriptions of what they are, do,
and when best to use them.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Section 3A: Weapons
[ACACS3A]
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Hidden Blade
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"A small hidden blade, replacing your ring finger. Used
for assassinations"
-Author:
The hidden blade is an assassin's favorite. It fits just
in the place of your ring finger, and is used for
assassinations. Small, deadly, and it looks kinda cool
too! What's not to like?
Uses:
You do not actually get to use this item at your leisure,
as it is only used in game as a tool for assassinations
that are usually predetermined. However, you can
sometimes approach lazy, sleeping guards and slip this
blade under their throat. Best to use when trying to
enter a heavily defended area unnoticed.
Sword
Description:
-Author:
Your main item for combat, the sword is an upgradable
piece of fighting equipment you carry everywhere. You
mix in your deadly skills with the razor sharp edge of a
fine weapon, and you have yourself a fine killing tool!
Uses:
Use this weapon for any and all combat situations you find
yourself in. Press Y to execute quick, but somewhat weak,
attacks. Press X to execute slightly slower, more deadly
attacks.
Daggers
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"Throw a poisoned dart that stuns an opponent for a
certain period of time."
-Author:
Small, poison tipped daggers that you can throw at enemies
from afar. You can carry up to fifteen at one time. These
are BEST used against the strongest templars, who can fair
well against you in sword fights.
Uses:
Each one reduces an enemies health by a pre-determined
ammount, and stuns them for a moment. Press Y to throw one
straight ahead at your nearest opponent. Use that time wisely
to slip away, or preform a deadly combo while they are out
of it. Not good to use when facing large groups of enemies.
Explosive Bombs
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"Throw a hand-made bomb that will kill or destroy
everything but the thickest walls."
-Author:
Each bomb explodes around a small area, killing all enemies
in it's range. Unlike the in-game description tho, there are
only select few spots in game where it will destroy anything
that your sword will not. You can hold 5 at a time.
Uses:
Press Y to set a bomb with a timer, perfect for luring
enemies into a trap. The timer lasts for about five seconds,
and it will not hurt you when it explodes. Press Y while
running to launch a bomb ahead of you, perfect for taking
out a group of enemies. Don't waste these things against
single enemies though, since their power is much greater than
that, and they are too scarce to be wasted.
Crossbow
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"Use it to shoot arrows. Allows you to deal with dangers
from afar."
-Author:
First off, crossbows shoot bolts, not arrows. Second, the
in-game description pretty much sums it up. Select enemies
on the mini-map, and shoot with Y. You can carry 15 ammo at
a time.
Uses:
Stand on a good vantage point, and fire away. One hit
instant kills most opponents. Make sure you can see green
surronding them before you shoot, or you will miss.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Section 3B: Items
[ACACS3B]
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Grappling Hook
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"Throw a grappling hook with a rope attached, allowing you
to grab and swing."
-Author:
Use a grappling hook to swing where you cannot jump, and
also to drag enemies closer. Basically, what every other
hook in every other game has been used for too.
Uses:
When you see any type of beam with a green orby-glow, you
can grapple-swing from it. Press A to hook it, and jump
again at the apex of your swing for the maximum distance
coverage
When there is an enemy a short distance from you, you can
press A to grapple him closer to you, which also stuns him
and knocks him to the ground. Perfect for preforming a
deadly stab.
Smoke Bombs
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"Throw a device that explodes in a cloud of smoke, allowing
you to leave the area unseen."
-Author:
You can also set this on the ground for instant explosion,
though this results in no damage. This, instead, leaves a
cloud of smoke in your midst that gags and blinds the enemies
in the near vicinity, even if they are not in the smoke cloud.
You can also carry 5 of these.
Uses:
Set it for an ignition with X, or run and press X to throw
one at your foes. While they are disoriented, use it to make
your escape, or get a good spot for picking them off! The
cloud lasts about 7 seconds.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Section 4: Skills
[ACACS4]
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Throughout the game, you will learn various skills that
are essential to achieving your goal (or just killing more
effeciently). This section lists those skills, their
description, and how, where, and when to use them. Set
up in the same way as the above section.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Section 4A: Sword Skills (Techniques)
[ACACS4A]
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Quick Strikes
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"A succesion of three fast strikes of medium damage."
-Author:
Your most basic sword attack, can (and
most likely will) be used over and over to kill countless
templars.
Uses:
Pres Y Y Y to execute this combo. You do one overhead attack,
one underhand, followed by a spinning strike.
Heavy Blows
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"Two heavy strikes, slower but with more damage."
-Author:
Your second most basic sword combo. You will use this one most
likely all the time, but less as it is less effective against
groups of enemies
Uses:
Press X X when your sword is equipped to preform this combo.
You will see this does more damage than Quick Strikes, but at a
loss of time. Strong overhead strike, followed by a stronger, jumping
overhead strike.
Face Backhand
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"A counterattack, preformed during an enemy attack, that stuns
the opponent."
-Author:
You defend his attack, and at the last second, reply in kind, knocking
your opponent unconcious, while still on his feet.
Uses:
Hold R, and press Y when they swing at you. You will block their
attack, and throw it back so that you can knock them upside the head,
perfect for executing them.
Light Sting
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"A finishing move that works on a stunned opponent, dealing heavy
damage."
-Author:
You use this on any normal enemy that you managed to stun while
keeping them standing.
Uses:
Press Y on a standing, stunned enemy to grab them and plunge your
sword into their chest, ensuring a kill!
Heavy Sting
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"A very powerful finishing move that works on opponents lying on
the ground, killing them instantly."
-Author:
You can use this on any normal enemy that you stunned while also
knocking them to the ground.
Uses:
Approach a downed, stunned enemy and press Y. You dig your sword
into their chest, ensuring a kill! Basically, the downed version of
light sting.
Battery
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"A combination of attacks that ends with a powerful kick in the
face, throwing the opponent to the ground."
-Author:
Do two fast, weaker hits, followed by a stronger kick. Perfect
for groups of enemies, and also knocking enemies off of edges and
such to their death!
Uses:
Press Y Y X to preform the battery, a forehand strike, followed
closely by a backhand and a backflip kick to send your opponent
sprawling! Also has a chance to stun an enemy on the ground.
Leg Cutter
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"A counterattack that throws the opponent to the ground."
-Author:
You use this just like you use the "Face Backhand", except it
stuns and enemy while throwing them to the ground, instead of leaving
them standing.
Uses:
Hold R, and press X when your opponent swings. You will counter his
attack, and then preform a sweeping leg attack, sending your opponent
to the ground and stunning them. Perfect for executing a finisher!
Clean Cut
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"A fast cut aimed at the neck of a stunned opponent."
-Author:
Aim a deadly cut at your enemies throat while he is stunned to kill
him instantly.
Uses:
Any time you stun an enemy, and he is still standing, use this to
eleminate him quickly and effeciently. Get rid of him so you can get
on with the rest of those templars! Simply get close enough and press
X.
Lazy End
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"A kick to the chest of a stunned opponent, sending him reeling."
-Author:
Approach a standing, stunned enemy to give him some damage, and send
him flying away from you, towards the ground.
Uses:
Simply get close and press B to kick your opponent. Not really usefull,
unless you wish to keep him alive longer than a light sting or clean cut
will do (if you want to have fun) or if there is a drop right behind
your enemy.
Dervish
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"A combination that ends with a roundhouse kick, useful when you
are surrounded."
-Author:
In my opinion, the best combo in the game. It is best described
as an upgraded version of the Battery, dealing more damage, and you
are able to kick more opponents in the last part of the combo.
However, you don't have enemies getting that close to you very often
except in hard mode.
Uses:
Press Y X X with your sword out to deal one fast overhead hit,
followed by one slower, jumping one, and finish it off with a
roundhouse kick to hit all opponents in your immediate area.
Can we say, personal space?! Also grants a chance to stun.
Stone
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"A series of heavy, slow attacks, dealing a considerable amount of
damage."
-Author:
A great combo, the most useful when dealing with single enemies, or
those that are best with the sword. It is very slow, so it sets you
up to be hit if you are surrounded.
Uses:
Press X X Y to send your sword flying in a pattern that can only
be called "The Stone" this move will kill most enemies with your sword,
and ALL enemies (besides area bosses, etc.) that don't block if you
have your sword upgraded completely. A more powerful Heavy Blows,
followed closely by a strong backhand.
Chest Breaker
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"A counterattack that ends with a vicious knee landing on the chest
of the opponent."
-Author
The best counterattack in the game, too bad you learn it late. You
know the drill, defend, and at the last second press your assigned button.
You will sink your knee into the chest of your enemy, dealing a good
ammount of damage and knocking them away.
Uses:
Hold R, and when they attack, press B to knock their weapon away and
pound your knee into them. Damage (and possibly kill) them, and knock
them over to buy yourself time, or prepare them for a kill strike!

Section 4B: Miscellanous Skills
[ACACS4B]
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Wall-Climb
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"Run upwards on a wall to climb it"
-Author:
Basically, you run at a wall, not upwards (that's climbing,
lol) to climb it. You use this almost everywhere you go as
a basic skill.
Uses:
Use this in virtually every step of the game. You use
this skill everywhere you go to reach things to climb, orbs,
or whatever else pertains to your current goal.
Wall-to-Wall
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"Jump from one wall to another"
-Author:
You use this when a wall climb isn't enough to get where
you need to go. Run up one wall, jump off onto another, and
back, and repeat over and over again until you reach the top.
Uses:
There are few in-game areas where this skill is essential,
however, you can find many shortcuts using this, or places
from which to shoot your crossbow, or even hidden orbs. Any
time you see a small space between two vertical surfaces, try
wall-to-walling to see where it gets you. WARNING: Some areas
have nowhere to go, and a fall to your death may result.
Triple Jump
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"Use repeated jumps to jump higher and longer."
-Author:
You never really need to jump "higher," but jumping longer
and farther sure does help. Besides, who wouldn't like to go
around jumping and doing cool Backflip-McTwists?
Uses:
Jump, then as soon as you land jump again, and repeat once
more. You use this skill at many points in-game, whether you
need to clear a large gap, or just jump over a group of
enemies. Once you master this skill, you can even clear some
areas that have a grapple hook point, as you can just jump that
huge of a gap anyway.
Bash Shield/Door
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"Bash your shoulder into a shield or door to destroy it."
-Author:
This is probably the most useless skill in the whole game.
You get it late, and only really use it once. The useless-
ness is the door bash part, since you never need to use
that.
Uses:
When running toward a shield/door, press B to bash it.
You only really use this RIGHT AFTER you get it to get past
some shields blocking your way, then you don't need to use
it for the rest of the game.
Blend
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"Pose as a scholar. It allows you to blend in and pass
some areas unnoticed."
-Author:
You have to keep up with some scholars to sneak past
gates with them. However, you only use this skill a few
times in-game.
Uses:
Press and hold A to walk like a scholar. You must keep
a uniform distance and speed with the scholars to blend
accurately. Thankfully, you walk the same speed, so just
turning at the correct times will make this a success.
Take Appearance
Description:
-Quote from In-Game:
"Take on anyone's appearance"
-Author:
Getting this skill late in-game, you do not get to use
it to it's full potential. Still, it is pretty cool,
though cliche, to ambush someone and take their clothes
to blend.
Uses:
When given the prompt, use it to take the clothes (and
life) of another enemy, and use that as a discuise to
get farther.

Section 6: Miscellanous Information
[ACACS6]
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
There are actually three more skills you have as an
assassin. They are:
1: Assassination
Sneak up behind an unknowing guard or pre-determined
target and press A when Prompted. You will then jump on
or grab your target and kill them silently.
2: Interrogation
Your target has information he doesn't want to give
you, but you have ways to make him talk. Using your
stylus and touch screen, press on pressure points of the
victims body in certain orders, then press and drag the
man's arm usually as a finality.
3: Pickpocketing
Sneak up on a dumbwitted guard to steal their key.
First, use your stylus to reveal what is in their bag.
Then, locate the key and bring it to the opening in the
bag without disturbing the other items in the bag or
makeing movements within the sides of the bag.
The Techniques "Face Backhand" "Light Sting" "Heavy Sting"
"Leg Cutter" and "Clean Cut" are avaliable from the time you
learn to block, however, you are never shown how to do them
until you pass that particular point in-game.
The sword can be upgraded for extra damage. The first
upgrade costs 100 orbs, and the second 200 orbs. I
personally recommend getting these upgrades before the life
bar upgrades. These upgrades DO NOT give you new moves or
techniques, however. The main reason for this is those pesky
crossbowmen. One hit with any button with the upgraded sword
kills them, so it helps a LOT!
The reason the sword has no Quote from In-Game is because
it says "Basic knowledge for sword fighting." instead of a
real description. Just in case you were wondering, ;).
This is my first REAL FAQ. It is
probably a little choppy, but thanks for bearing through it.
If you have any suggestions on FAQ writing that you want to
send my way, feel free to do it, so my future FAQ's aren't
as bad as I think this one is... :S
