Table of Contents:
1.	Controls
2.	Weapons
3.	Combos

Controls:
Square, X, O: Attack a focused enemy.
Triangle: Action
R2: Weapon selection
L2: Make spirit guide/Kuzo go to a specific area to scout ahead.
    Get Kuzo/Spirit guide back.
L1: Aim w/ Puffers or Bow
R1: Guard
Start: Menu

Weapons:
Tati: 
Puffers: Her long range weapon. A great weapon. Even if you are 
spotted you can use it as a trap or throw it at an enemy in a group 
to kill everybody near him. One tactic I found useful was to throw it 
in front of a door containing resting soldiers.(I'll call them R. 
Doors, k?) That way even if u are spotted, u are in less danger than 
if u didn't throw the puffer there. It's also fun to throw it at 
Rau's face and hit him. It is also useful at close range as it stuns 
your target. Rating: 5/5
Bishag: Her first weapon. It is a fast attacking weapon but does weak 
damage. Its has the easiest combos. (It does so little damage that 
your enemy won't be dead by your last attack) Rating: 4/5
Kami Yhari: Her blunt weapon. It breaks armor easily but don't use it 
when you fight unarmored enemies. (My favorite weapon since I like 
the Fua Usu Rutu combo) Rating: 3.5/5
Buhjer: Her slowest but most powerful weapon. If you hit any wooden 
object, this will stick to it and you will wait for a few seconds to 
get it out from the wood. It can split torsos, amputate feet, arms 
and legs. Rating: 4.5/5

Rau :
Bow: Useful long range weapon. You can kill an enemy with one shot if 
you hit his head. It won affect armored enemies though. Rating: 4.5/5
Broad Sword: Rau's fastest weapon but not the fastest in the game. 
Has medium power and combos can be easily done with this weapon.
Rating: 4/5
Taiaha: Rau's Blunt weapon. Same as the Kami Yhari. 
Rating: 3.5/5
Battle Axe: Rau's most devastating weapon. Not as slow as the Buhjer 
but equal in power. Also gets stuck when hitting wooden objects.
Rating: 4.5/5

Griz:
Kukrins: Griz's long range weapon. Can amputate enemy heads. Rating: 
3/5
Arbur: Griz's close range weapon. Just like every other blunt weapon. 
Rating: 3.5/5
Gollok: Just like the Bushag. Rating: 4/5
Buss Daken: Cool! Can crush enemy skulls. Slow but powerful.
Rating: 5/5

Baumusu:
Mahee: Just another long range weapon. Rating:3.5/5
Sword: Almost like the Broad Sword. Rating: 4/5
Huatar: Just like any other blunt weapon. Rating: 3.5/5
Narga: Useful in the Vaitaku level. One challenge is to split 15 
enemy torsos. Still slow but at least there is another use to its 
power other than killing enemies fast. Rating: 5/5

Combos:
S-Square  X-X  O-Circle

Baumusu/Rau/Tati/Griz: Simple Combo: XXXX/OOOO/SSSS
             Fua Toko Rutu: XSSS/XOOO/SXXX/SOOO
             Fua Toko Faahu: XSSX/XOOX/SXXS/SOOS
             Fua Usu Rutu: XOSS/XSOO
             Fua Usu Faahu: XOSX/XSOX


Tips: 
1.	Avoid fighting if possible.
2.	Throw puffers at R. Doors.
3.	Kill horn carriers first, archers second, grunts third.
4.	Wait for your partner if you know you are going to fight more 
enemies than you can handle. 
5.	If there are 2 enemies ahead that can be stealth killed but 
cannot be killed via group stealth, wait for your partner.
6.	Use bridges, monkeys, gongs, birds to your advantage.
7.	If there is a river nearby and you are on or past the Yolo 
Maibisi Level, it's possible that there is a patrol boat that 
will pass by.
8.	Gongs will only attract horn carriers.
9.	Use Kuzo/spirit guide to your advantage. 
10.	Assist your partner whenever possible.
11.	The puffer can be attached to walls, enemies, the 
flooring, gongs, monkeys. (anything that the bow can hit)
12.	Always go for a headshot when using Rau's bow.
13.	You might want a lot of enemies crossing the bridge 
before cutting it.
14.	Never cut the rope holding the bridge when your partner 
is on the other side or on the bridge.
15.	If there is anything I missed out, read the hints that 
appear throughout the game :P

                         Walkthrough
I'll start with the Baumusu and Rau Guide. After them it's the 
Tati and Griz Guide.
Baumusu and Rau guide:
Level: Tapuroku                 
Characters: Baumusu / Griz           
Sections: The Lake
          The Ruins
          Sacred Ground
          Maibisi's Pet
Level Challenges:
1. Perform Bau'Usu/Gar'Usu combo on an enemy
2. Defend 6 attacks from 6 different enemies.
3. Fua Toko Faahu combo with any weapon.
4. Kill 40 focused enemies.
5. Collect the Tukus.

This is just a KILL EVERYONE YOU SEE LEVEL.
The Lake: Charge at the running Kasai soldiers. After killing all of 
the K.soldiers, grab the the Health (red crystal) and the Health+ 
(white crystal) at the dock. Go to the next enemy camp and take out 
all the K.soldiers.(I'll call them KS, k?) To your left is a ruin 
like place. Go up the step and charge at the enemy camp. Save at the 
save point you will see. Jump down the platform and kill the 3 men. 
Go to the dock and kill all the KS that come out the boat. Go EAST of 
the boat and attack the enemy camp. After the battle, go to the 
orange circle to finish the section. 
The Ruins: Go opposite of where Griz is going. (right) Keep moving 
forward until you see KSs. Kill them. Pick up the nearby Health+. 
Attack the armored KS and his partner. Go left and fight the 3KS. (1 
horn carrier) If you let him sound his horn more will come so kill 
him quick or just jab him so he loses his horn. Climb the platform 
and fight the 2 KS. Save. Charge at the nearby enemy camp. (You can 
wait for Griz) After the battle, go to the orange circle to end the 
section.
Sacred Ground: Climb up the platforms and go down. Instead of 
following Griz, go to the R. Door and kill every KS that comes out. 
Follow Griz after. Do not climb ladder, follow Griz. Keep following 
Griz until you fight some KSs. There is some health if you need it. 
Once you see the path to the left there is a save point near. Charge 
the enemy camp and kill all KS. After, climb the ladder nearby. Jump 
down the wall. Follow Griz and kill anyone you see. There is some 
health+ if you want it. (Of course you do) There is also a book 
nearby. There is a gap in the wall with some KS in it. Kill them if 
you want. There is a save point behind the wall so use it. Find Griz 
and use the switches to open the door. Go to the orange circle to 
finish the section.
If you don't want to read this guide for this section, just follow 
Griz and kill everyone you see!
Maibisi's Pet: The tentacles with scales are weak to blunt weapons so 
use the Huatar. The ones without are weak to both the Sword and the 
Narga. When the tentacles curl up, use your blunt weapon to hit them. 
They will become open to attack again. Always deal the finishing blow 
with the Narga.

Level: Ngari
Characters: Rau and Tati.
Sections: City Edge
          Market Square

1.	Stealth kill 15 enemies
2.	Stealth kill 2 groups of enemies
3.	Wall stealth 5 enemies

5.	Discover and use a story shrine (book)

City Edge: Once you are up the ladder, unequip anything by going to 
the weapon screen and picking the fist. (unarmed) Once you pick the 
fist, focus on the nearby enemy and kill him. (via stealth kill) Now 
put your back against the wall near the next enemy, and stealth kill 
him. (I'll call the stealth kill, SK from now on, ok?) Climb the 
stairs and SK the next KS. (horn carrier)Go inside the room nearby 
and GROUP SK the 2 horn carriers. (Group SK is performed by focusing 
2 enemies and pressing the 3 buttons that appear) Equip your bow and 
kill the KS on the narrow path via headshot. Then kill the other KS 
on the balcony via headshot. Go to the room through the narrow 
pathway and watch the patrolling guard via Kuzo. Once he faces away, 
kill him via headshot. Go to the next roof and drop down the 
platform. Once the KS faces away, climb up and SK him. Drop down 
again and SK the guard. Join up with Tati and go to the orange circle 
to finish the section.
Market Square: Unarm yourself again and SK the KS. Go through the 
bridge and go left. GROUP SK the 2 horn carriers. Go through the 2nd 
bridge and stick to the wall. Wall SK the KS. You will see a bridge 
with a guard. Kill him via headshot while he is far away and grab the 
health if you need it. Wall SK the KS you will see after crossing the 
bridge. Wait patiently for the next guard to come near the wall you 
are on and Wall SK him when he does. (You could just kill with your 
bow/swordfight. He isn't carrying a horn anyway) Continue forward and 
go to your left. There is a health+ you can pick up. Go back and go 
up the steps. Keep going forward and soon you will see a KS facing 
away. SK him. Go to the wall on the other side and wait for the other 
KS. Be prepared to wall SK him. After you do, grab the health if 
needed. Go forward you will see a bridge. Stick to the wall and wall 
SK the KS. Go left to the alley and save. Wait for the patrol and SK 
him when you can. Go forward then right and you will see a bridge. Do 
not cross it yet. Hide in the alley and wait for the patrol to face 
away and kill with your bow. Once you are on the other side, go right 
to another alley. There is some health there if you need it. Go left 
from there and stick to the wall near the corner. A KS will come so 
WALL SK him. There is a health+ from where you saw the patrol. Go 
down and equip your bow. Go beside the crates under the shade and 
kill the KS in front of the ladder. Climb up the ladder and go to the 
orange circle to finish the section.
The Oracle Of the City: Go forward and go up the ladder and equip the 
bow. Stick to the crates nearby and wait for the KS to appear. Kill 
him via headshot. Use unarmed. Go down and look for a balcony. A KS 
will be in one of them. Grab the arrows nearby and stay at the bottom 
of the steps. You can shoot a KS from there. Shoot him. Go up the 
steps and down the next. Cross the bridge and SK the KS beside the 
next bridge. Stay where the KS you killed was and equip your bow. 
Shoot the patrol you will see. Cross the bridge follow the path until 
you see an open area. Save if you want. Climb the platform beside the 
save point. Use the switch you will see. Climb down the ladder and 
jump down. Stick to the wall wait for an armored horn carrier to come 
near. SK him when you get the chance to do so. After killing him, 
stick to the wall at the corner and wall SK the KS that will pass. 
Don't go right, go forward since there is a switch. Use it and open 
the gate. Now go forward then left from where you are. Stick to the 
right side wall and wait for the armored KS to come near you. Wall SK 
him when you can. Equip your bow and shoot the KS on the balcony 
above. Continue forward and up the steps then drop down or go down 
the steps. Prepare for a battle. Go through the gate a fight the KS. 
There are health crystals scattered around. Also, there is a Tuku 
behind some pillars. There is also a save point so use it if you need 
to. After the battle, go to the orange circle to finish the level.
