3. Legal Stuff
--------------
- 1. WEAPONS -
--------------
a0. Sword
-Press and hold the attack button to release an even harder attack.
Swords are not only used for attacking the enemy but can be used to
break down boards and windows and chop down tapestries. In addition
to moving slower while the sword is equipped, you will also be more
visible. Swords can also be used to block.
b1. Blackjack
-When used on an unsuspecting enemy, it will instantly knock them out.
On an alert character, it will only cause minimal damage. Blackjacks
can also be used to block.
*Bow
Pull and hold back the attack button to shoot farther and harder.
You will also move slower while it is equipped. Fire and gas arrows
fly in a straight line. You will move slower no matter what arrow is
equipped.
c2. Broadhead Arrow
-Can instantly kill if you shoot it at the right parts of the body
(and the character must obviously be unaware of your presence). Pull
and hold back the attack button to shoot farther and harder. Can also
be used to push buttons from afar. Can sometimes be retrieved when
shot into wooden surfaces.
d3. Water Arrow
-Extinguishes torches, disables the children of Karras and cleans up
blood stains. Cannot be used to attack humans.
e4. Moss Arrow
-Creates a carpet of moss that silences your footsteps. Cannot be used
to attack.
f5. Fire Arrow
-Effective against the children of Karras as well. Very noisy and
makes you even more visible. Fire arrows can be used to blow open
doors as well. Can detonate sunburst devices. Can injure multiple
enemies.
g6. Gas Arrow
-Instantly knocks out a target. Can knock out multiple enemies if
they're close enough. Watch out for targets wearing gas masks. Can
also be used to extinguish torches though why anyone would want to
spend 500G to do that when they can just spend 50G on a water arrow
and get the same results.
h7. Rope Arrow
-Creates a rope that you can climb when shot into wooden surfaces. Can
also be used to kill. Can be retrieved after use.
i8. Noisemaker Arrow
-Creates a distraction. The noisemaker can bounce off walls. Can be
retrieved after use.
j9. Vine Arrow
-Works the same way as the rope arrow except you can also shoot it
into metal gratings.
------------
- 2. ITEMS -
------------
k10. Flare
-Lights up your surroundings and makes you more visible. Can also be
used to blow up explosive barrels.
l11. Square Lockpick
-One half of the lockpick set. Some locks require the usage of both
picks.
m12. Triangle Lockpick
-Other half of the lockpick set. Works the same way as square.
n13. Healing Potion
-Restores some health. Full effect takes place only after several
seconds.

p15. Invisibility Potion
-Makes you completely invisible. Enemies can still hear you though.
q16. Slow-Fall Potion

Makes your movements extremely sluggish when used on it's own.
r17. Speed Potion
-Greatly increases your running and jumping for a few seconds.
s18. Flash Bomb
-Blinds enemies. Be sure to look away as you can blind yourself too.
When evading pursuers, drop, instead of tossing.
t19. Scouting Orb
-Let's you see what the orb sees. Toss it into a room, corridor or
wherever you need to scout a place out without putting yourself at
risk.
u20. Mine
-Same effect as a fire arrow. Your own mines can be blown even by you.
Both friendly and enemy mines can be deactivated and taken with your
lockpicks.
v21. Gas Mine
-Same effect as a gas arrow and a mine.
w22. Flash Mine
-Same effect as a flash bomb and a mine.

distraction. Is easily killed but explodes upon death causing damage
to the enemy.
