4-Enemies FAQ

I have listed every possible detail about an enemy like what do they look like,
where they are found,how to defeat them etc.There are three types of enemies,
the undead,Non-humans and the humans.I have a seperate section for each.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I.Humans

This part deals with your humanoid enemies.Forget any fishman or ratman etc :-)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.Hired Watchmen

A.What do they look like?

They are dressed as every normal human would.The will however have one or two
things that normal humans dont,like a sword casing or a bag full of broadhead
arrows on their leg or back respectively.

B.Where are they found?

As the name suggests,they are hired.So you will find them guarding the mansions
and houses of rich people.

C.How will they attack?

8 times out of 10,they will attack with their swords.However,sometimes they use
their bow's to shoot broadhead arrows at you.
They will try to attack Thief's like you as soon as they notice you.

D.How should i deal with them?

They are very easy.The following weapons effectively take them out.

Dagger...You require five hits to take them out.
Broadhead Arrow....Three in normal conditions,one if sniped.
Fire Arrow....One in all conditions.
Explosive Mine...One if strategically placed.
Gas Arrow....One,if hit near the head region.
Gas Bomb...One if thrown nearby.

I recommend using the broadhead arrow or gas arrow to snipe them,because using
the other weapons might reveal your hiding place.But if you DO END UP getting
noticed,then use the dagger if there are only one or two of them.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.Thug

A.What do They Look Like?

They are dressed somehwat similar to the city wtach,but with some noticeable
differences.If a female is carrying a big sword,then it is definitely a thug,
the males will be nearby.

B.Where are they Found?

They are generally found patrolling a particular area of most streets,like in
front of the hammerite church.

C.How will they attack?

They won't attack you unless you attack them first.They are neutral towards you
if you behave properly but any noticeable mishap innvolving you will turn them
against you.They will attack you with their swords,MOSTLY.

D.How should i deal with them?

You should avoid combat with them,but if the worst comes,following are the
weapons of choice against them.

Dagger...You require five hits to take them out.
Broadhead Arrow....Three in normal conditions,one if sniped.
Fire Arrow....One in all conditions.
Explosive Mine...One if strategically placed.
Gas Arrow....One,if hit near the head region.
Gas Bomb...One if thrown nearby.

Since they wont attack you until you attack them first so try to ignore them
but if you do end up in a fight then my recommendation would be to use the FIRE
arrow against them.Why,because there are a couple of them nearby and a dagger
or broadhead arrow might not be enough to contain ALL of them.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.City Watch

A.What do they look like?

They are always wearing geryish-blueish uniforms with a helmet type thing on
their heads.

B.Where are they found?

They are found in almost all type of areas,patrolling and looking for Thief's
like you.

C.How will they attack?

Since they know your history as well as your face,they will ALWAYS attack you
whenever you are seen.They are armed with either a sword or broadhead arrows
and will attack using them.You should try to avoid them most of time by sneak-
ing around their patrol route.

D.How should i deal with them?

You should avoid combat with them,but if the worst comes,following are the
weapons of choice against them.

Dagger...You require five hits to take them out.
Broadhead Arrow....Three in normal conditions,one if sniped.
Fire Arrow....One in all conditions.
Explosive Mine...One if strategically placed.
Gas Arrow....One,if hit near the head region.
Gas Bomb...One if thrown nearby.

If you do end up in a fight,then quickly use a gas bomb to knock him out,using
other weapons takes longer and you will end up facing more city watch.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.Hammerite

A.What Do they look like?

They will be wearing a notcieable red fabric alongside a mean looking hammer
in the hand.

B.Where are they Found?

You will find them in all hammer controlled areas.

C.How will they attack?

They will use their hammers to pound you.Whether they attack you or not depends
on your faction.If you are their ally,they will not harm you.If you are neutral
with them,they will not harm you if you behave properly.But even the slightest
of mishaps innvolving you and them will result in a fight.If you are their
enemy,then they will atttack you on sight.

D.How should i deal with them?

Try to maintain atleast a neutral faction with them.But if you do end up in a
fight then here are your options...

Dagger...You require five hits to take them out.
Broadhead Arrow....Three in normal conditions,one if sniped.
Fire Arrow....One in all conditions.
Explosive Mine...One if strategically placed.
Gas Arrow....One,if hit near the head region.
Gas Bomb...One if thrown nearby.

I suggest sinping them with either the broadhead or gas arrow.If you are in an
open combat with one or two of them then use the dagger.If more,then use the
fire arrow.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ing wand on their wasits.

before starting any open combat.If you start a fight with them all fired up

Broadhead Arrow....Three in normal conditions,one if sniped.
Fire Arrow....One in all conditions.
Explosive Mine...One if strategically placed.

the gas bomb.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.Pagan Shaman

difference between them.The pagan shamans will be carrying a wand on their

ball type things.They can also power up their allies using a special spell,
which you can intercept if you are fast enough.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.Ents

A.What do they look like?

similar to ant.They are about 7 feet tall and are made of wood.Their whole
body is brown in colour.They have claws instead of fingers.

They are found patrolling watery areas in pagan controlled territories.

Well,they will use their rock solid hands to crack your skull.They deal pretty
big amounts of damage and will attack on sight.They are pretty tough to take
down,before you get the glyph of unbinding.

D.How should i deal with them?

Using extreme caution.Before you get the glyph of unbinding,you have the
following options.

Fire Arrow...TWO in all conditions.
Explosive mine...TWO if strategically placed.

Under these conditions,i would advice you NOT to indulge in ANY sort of combat
with them.If you do end up in a fight,then the fire arrow is your best choice.

AFTER you GET the "Glyph of Unbinding" (from the hag's lair)

This glyph makes the statues very easy.You now have the following choices as
the glyph has powered up you black jack.

Black Jack...FOUR hits in normal combat,ONE if used in a sneak attack
Fire Arrow...TWO in all conditions.
Explosive mine...TWO if strategically placed.

The black jack is the best choice,especially if used as a sneak attack.

GLITCH: There is a glitch in the game,if you crouch,the statue will NOT be able
to hit you whatsoever.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

guard.

ing.If you came in as your self,you have the following choices.

Dagger...You require SIX hits to take them out.
Broadhead Arrow....SIX in normal conditions.
Fire Arrow....One in all conditions.
Explosive Mine...One if strategically placed.

I recommend AGAINST the fire arrow.I also recommend against open combat.Use the
dagger for a sneak attack,in which you back-stab them.

Since it is moving,it is not that big of a trouble.Its only annoying.
