Hai guys I love the game, but am unable to pass the alley no mater how slow i walk.

Hey all,
Yes, this is quite a good game, especially since we get it for nothing. I unfortunately am unable to spare any cash to donate in exchange for wives, er, lives, nor do I have the want or need to commit such a betrayal upon my GF . There have been questions about moving, how to run etc. The game treats your finger like a virtual joystick. The more you push forward, the faster you will go. Same with turning left or right. You can also move your finger right or left as you're walking, like moving a joystick diagonally on a physical controller. It's not the best way of movement for blind people, but whatever. As for pinching the screen, all you're doing is putting two fingers on the screen parallel to each other going across the width of the device, about two inches apart is best, and sliding them together. You should hear a chunk sound, and the world should fade a bit. Hold that position for as long as you need.
The rest of this post contains seen specific information. Read on at your own risk.
People have been asking about the alley seen, and I will just say this. You need to walk fairly slow, but at the same time, watch where you're going. Don't get lost or veer off course, or you run the risk of walking into the arms of King Thor's men. Most of the time, you have room to get a bit turned around, but in places like the cliff seen, the lava seen and the alley seen, you'd better pay attention.
I have a question of my own. What is my goal after being locked up? I tried walking around crashing into random things, seeing if I could interact with them, but all I managed to find out was that the guards really, really don't like the prisoners making noise lol.
Edit: Never mind. A good punch in the face after irritating the guard is all it takes to knock him senseless and get out of there. I have beaten the game now, so if anyone has questions, I have answers.
Oh yes, and I remember another question that was asked. The horseback chase is pretty simple. You are riding through a forest, trying to dodge trees and outrun the soldiers. Listen to Louise. Swipe right to turn right and swipe left to turn left. Swipe down to duck and up to jump. You will only need to jump once, and Louise will give you two warnings before that happens. Note that these aren't the slow dragging swipes you're used to in this game, but rather the normal quick swipe you would use to move to the next or previous object with voiceover.
That's all the yammering from me. Enjoy the game peoples.

Hai all,
I am still trying to get pass the alley.
I can't seem to turn fast enough to follow luis.

may be who just finish the game can make any playthrough recording.. i still stug in forest that i have to get help to cure Luis

How to do combo?

  I agree. Trying to use the shielding technique can be a little bit tricky.  The trick to note is that every scene when using shielding technique has a different sequence.  For an example an enemy may  grunt before hitting you. While he is grunting. That is the perfect time to use shielding technique.  When he hits you and you hear a clang  That's when you know you have did it correctly.  You also have the option for some enemies to hit them before they hit you.  But wait until they grunts first.  That way you do not get hits in lose any damage.

I am also stuck on this level. What you have to do is listen for Louise voice in the center she will say straight ahead. Follow that path straight ahead.  You do this until you come to the falling rock. When the rock crumbles shield yourself. Then you  keep moving forward repeating the same directions above.  Then after you keep following her you will come across some dogs. Basically fend off their attacks.  Then keep following her.  After that he will come across some thieves  The first one will talk to you. Before striking. So you can either shield before he hits you or you can keep hitting him. And then you come across the last guard he will basically say I will hit you with a knife.  This fight you have to really concentrate on. Don't hit him right away.

Hi all,
Just a friendly reminder, please don't quadruple post, it's better to consolidate into one post where possible. I'm not a mod, just trying to help out.
Anyway, I have some good news to report. After reading a bit on Apple Vis, I figured out how to do combos! Using my new method of combat, I just beat King Thork in a single attempt, and only got hit maybe 3 times because of careless mistakes, but the battle was almost pathetically easy.

Some people have had trouble with the forest level where you are on horseback rushing through the trees. Many people have had trouble because they don't know how the swiping works. It's actually very simple, just swipe very quickly in the direction Louise tells you. If she tells you to look out, it means you weren't fast enough and you've already collided with something. The only time you should have to swipe up in that level is to jump over the ravine at the end.
Now I'll describe in detail how I fight enemies, and then get into the illusive combo gesture to destabilize the enemy. The reason I and a few others have had trouble with it is because the English explanation has been mis-translated, so I will clarify it. First I'll describe basic combat.
Some enemies will taunt you or growl softly to themselves to let you know they're checking you out. Do not attack them when they're doing this, since you'll lose your balance for a short time, and the enemy will take advantage of this to get in a quick hit. You can, in some cases, raise your shield just fast enough to counter the hit, but that will only work if you are insanely fast, and will not do any damage to the enemy. Instead you have to wait until the enemy begins charging you, which is represented by either loud growling sounds from monsters, or haayaa battle cries from humans, demons etc. When you hear that sound, you can attack with your sword, but you've gotta be quick, especially since some of the attack sounds can be subtle. Also, and this goes for general gameplay, the whole game seems to have a tolerable but perceptible lag, not sure if it's in the gesture execution or in the sound playback engine. In any case you have to compensate for it by having sharp reflexes! Always be ready to raise your shield or swing your sword at literally a split second's notice, as enemies have very sporadic patterns. Monsters tend to be more aggressive and can attack in quick combos which are hard to predict, the only way to really get the upper hand on those in my experience is to raise the shield, get a rough idea of the enemy's attack patterns, wait for a slight lull in the action, drop your shield and try to counter the attack patterns you heard while your shield was up. Each enemy has his own attack tendencies, but there is still an element of chance, so even if you know what the enemy can do and how his timing works, you still have to be ready for anything. In particular the timing and duration of combos can be sporadic, requiring you to be on your toes.
You can also perform combos on your enemies by using your shield to push the enemies away from you. The game's English translation tels you to pinch your fingers on the screen to raise your shield,, and to discard or lift your fingers when the enemy attacks to destabilize him. This is only partially true. You do start by doing a pinch gesture to raise the shield, but lifting your fingers only removes the shield, it does not thrust it outward to destabilize the enemy. To thrust it outward you need to reverse pinch, or move your fingers outward, in the opposite direction of a pinch. You don't even have to have your shield raise to do it, just put two fingers on the screen close together and flick them rapidly in opposite directions. You have to do this when the enemy attacks or it will not affect the enemy. You'll hear an aggressive clank from your shield and the enemy will destabilize for about 2 seconds, so start swinging your sword in their direction like mad! You can normally get around 4 quick swings in this way without fear of a surprise attack. As soon as your sword stops hitting the enemy, raise your shield and wait for the next moment to destabilize the enemy. This is highly affective against bad guys like King Thork, but won't work on some of the faster enemies like the guards in the banquet which ambush you from all sides and only go down with one or two hits.
There are also certain significant attacks which your shield cannot block in key areas of the plot. In those spots, you are forced to make a quick attack at just the right moment. I won't talk about those here, since there are only a couple spots near the end of the game where it happens.
I really do need to record a gameplay now, eh?

Hi!.
I've finished the game already, and i was amazed for the huge amount of details put in it.
Great work there!.
I'm new to Apple, i could record a playthrough but i don't know witch is the best way to record in an ios device, i mean, to record my voice and the game at the same time.

Yes. Its that part, yes, i understand, but wen i urry, the guards run very fast, and kill me

My problem with the boss is that I could never get down his taunts versus his attacks, since i find his attack so sudden that I almost have to anticipate it to hit him on time. And of course if you hit at the wrong time while he's taunting, he'll get in a cheap hit on you. If I'm right, it may take less hits from him to kill you than it does with other enemies, but I'm just guessing. The only way I managed to do it without a lot of bloodshed on my end was to raise the shild, let him to a huge combo on me, then he'll stop and taunt, and that's when I'd come in with the reverse pinch gesture and give him a good combo and repeat the process until the final climactic hit. When I tried to anticipate his attacks quickly, I would get hit a lot more, so I took the whimpy strategy of just hiding like a coward until the perfect chance. Lol
