[. . . ] See Blade Magic Enhancements on page 15 for more information. NUMBER OF RESCUED LOCALS Many who see the shadow of Aku become his prisoners. Rescue 30 in each realm and your compassion will be rewarded with Blade Magic. RELICS COLLECTED HEALTH METER This is Jack's life force. When Jack's health is dangerously low he also loses his shirt and can no longer run. Collect enough Relics and you can increase the capacity of Jack's Health Meter by visiting a Health Shrine. Collect every Relic you can find. These ancient artifacts were left long ago by Jack's ancestors and are of great value. Use Relics to pay for the right to meditate at Shrines and increase Jack's powers. It is said that large and very valuable Relics were hidden. THROWING STARS & ARROWS ENEMY TARGET MARKER ARMOR METER These show how many Throwing Stars or Arrows Jack holds and the maximum possible for each. When Jack picks up armor, the Armor Meter appears. The Armor Meter length varies depending on the strength of the armor Jack is wearing. Each time Jack is attacked, the armor weakens and one dot disappears from the Armor Meter. But you must defeat a key keeper first and these tough enemies often have reinforcements. The Key Icon appears on-screen when you are carrying a key. THE WORLD HUB The World Hub connects all the realms where Samurai Jack travels. Aku designed this hub as a rapid transit system to move his robots quickly from one evil deed to the next. But Jack can also use the World Hub to travel quickly between any realms he has already unlocked. You must find the person who will show you how to use this area. CHECKPOINTS Find one of these and touch it. If you are defeated, the game will resume from the last checkpoint you touched. 12 13 SamJack_Gcube_manual. qxd 2/6/04 5:39 PM Page 14 SWORD FIGHTING Jack is a master swordsman and he will grow stronger with each devastating attack he learns. SWORD FIGHTING BLADE MAGIC ENHANCEMENTS Once Samurai Jack has been rewarded with Blade Magic he can switch from a standard blade to one of the more powerful blades by pressing the + Control Pad Left/Right. There are a total of three types and they enhance the power of Throwing Stars and Arrows too. Each type increases the damage inflicted on specific enemies by 25% and each damage hit depletes Zen Energy. The trick is discovering which enemy is most vulnerable to your chosen magic. The most basic sword attack is a quick side-toside slash achieved by tapping the A Button. Press the X Button for a more lethal attack that begins with an overhand chop. Additional presses on either the A or X Buttons reveal more complex combinations. To deliver an airborne downward thrust, tap the B Button twice for a double jump then press the A or X Button to thrust the blade straight down. BASIC SWORD ATTACKS standard blade flame LEARNING ATTACKS FROM COMBO SCROLLS Samurai Jack's super lethal attack combinations combine sword slashes with incredible martial arts moves. But to learn these devastating skills, he must pick up a Combo Scroll.
