The Witcher



Faster dice :
---------------
Submitted by: RM

Hold the Right Mouse Button while playing dice. The game will be slightly faster and easier to play when you do not have to wait for the dice animation.


Infinite Talents :
--------------------
When you gain a level, meditate and set your talent points as usual. After the meditation, go back to the Talents screen, and Right-click all of the Talents you just learned. You should hear a ringing sound, but no visual change. You can now meditate again and have all the Talents again.



Unlimited talent distribution :
-------------------------------------
After you get new talents, meditate to distribute them. After you come out of meditation, go to the Hero panel and right-click on the enhancements you just used the talents on. You will hear the money sound, but no visible change. You can meditate again and have those talents back, and will still have the enhancements you had previously used the talents on.
Note: This can only be done in unpatched versions of the game.



Infinite Skill Points :
-------------------------
After meditating near a fireplace in order to allocate your skill points, head back to your skill tree and right click on skills currently allocated. A ringing sound should be heard. After closing the skill tree, go to the fireplace and meditate again. The skill will be allocated from the previous spent point(s), but the point(s) will also be ready to be spent again! This gives you infinite skill points to spend at your leisure, but remember -- if this isn't done quickly, the points won't be given back to you to spend a second time (or more).



Defeating Beast :
--------------------
Note: This can be done as of patch v1.2. There is a small crevice between the fence and a small hut to the top left corner of the field. Use this to regenerate health or use potions. Neither the dogs nor Beast will be able to get to you as long as you stay in this opening. Do not worry about the villagers or Abigail, as the dogs will not attack them. If you have upgraded Ard Sign for STUN, it makes the fight a lot easier. Aim for Beast and cast your Sign. If he is stunned, simply do an auto-attack and you will trigger a one-hit kill.

Assasin's Creed




Cheat Codes :
-------------------
Submitted by. RM

Kill AnyoneAfter you beat the Game, go back to story mode with the same game and you can kill anyone without losing life.

Easy fights :
-----------------
Note: Only attempt this technique if they are fluent in the Rank 2 skill "Counter" and they have enough synchronization bars (a.k.a., life bars). One and a half rows of bars will do. When in battle, equip your hidden blade. With this equipped, all of your counters will score an instant kill. You can even instantly kill tougher ranked guards (for example, the Teutonic guards in Acre when hunting Sebrand). Also, most of the time using the hidden blade in battle will scare the last one or two (even three if you are lucky) guards, causing them to run away. However because you do not have a weapon that is sufficient enough to block a full sized enemy blade, all incoming attacks will hurt you.

Completion bonuses :
-------------------------------
Successfully complete the game. When the Memory Blocks are played again in Story mode you can kill anyone without penalties. Additionally, you will be able to use Eagle Vision at any time regardless of Synchronization levels inside of the Animus.

Maximize efforts for each city :
--------------------------------------------
To lower the time needed to complete the game and to decrease the difficulty of each major assassination, do the following in order (with the exception of Masyaf).
- Visit the Assassin's Guild
- Scan the city by first climbing all of the view points.
- Rescue all the citizens from the thugs. You will need the help after a major assassination.
- Complete all of the informant's missions (to get all the valuable information you can).
- Pickpocket the shysters in all of the pickpocket missions (for information to the Guild).
- When all of these are completed, go back to the Assassin's Guild and get ready for the major assassination mission.

Transformers reference :
------------------------------------
Travel to the southwestern-most vigilantes in the poor district of Damascus. On one of the buildings around them, you should see an outcropping in the wall, climb on it and you will see that it looks exactly like G1 Optimus Prime in vehicle mode. Note that there may be more than one outcropping in the area, so look carefully. If you lose sight of the vigilantes, you have gone too far.

Hidden messages :
--------------------------
After killing Al Muaiam and returning to the real world, listen to the conversation about how they going to kill you. Turn on your Eagle Vision and look at the floor. There are some mixed up letters on both sides of the Amnius. You should see on the side closest to the main door:

M O R Y M N O E S
E N C E O L C H T
H O N B T L O T C
T D E O S A T O A
P E D S N L S T F
L D D U O O E T E
E A I E I R I N T
H S H K T T K E R
T U A A A N S S A

To decode this, start reading at the bottom right hand corner to the top right hand corner, so you will start at "A" and stop at "S". It will spell a real word. Do this for all of the columns and it will read:
ARTEFACTS SENT TO THE SKIES TO CONTROL ALL NATIONS TO MAKE US OBEY A HIDDEN
CRUSADE DO NOT HELP THEM Next, do the same thing to the mixed letters on the other side of the Amnius:

A
D R H
O O D T M
W H B I T D O
E U S Y S I N S E
A R O O M R E A Y N R
I S E Y T N I D L M I D E
T W I H W Y I E A U D A Y H T

It will spell out:
THEY DRAINED MY SOUL AND MADE IT THEIRS I DRAINED MY BODY TO SHOW YOU WHERE I SAW IT.

Escaping from guards :
---------------------------------
Go to a high roof when chased. Kill the guards that appear. After a few kills they will either run or give up.

Lucy's computer :
--------------------------
One item you can pick up after being able to unlock your bedroom door is Lucy's password. You can then investigate her e-mails, which entail a short secondary story line. After you complete the last Memory Block, go back outside your room. Go to Lucy's computer. In "Deleted Items" is an e-mail which entails her talking to someone about a rescue, then the last reply comes back as:

WondEr Why It is everyone Laughs at you?
i'll Let you guess.
let's just say she's proBably gEtTing it bigger and better from someone else tHat
isn't you.
how can you hope to compEte?
REst asSured there are sOme gOod ways.
click the liNk to see!

Removing the capital letters out of the message decodes the message as:

WE WILL BE THERE SOON

Easier interrogation :
-------------------------------
After you get the "target" to a safe area to "interrogate" them, punch them first then "grab" them for faster completions. It will take about two grabs to quickly finish them. However, into the last three quarters of the game you may have to grab them up to, but exceeding, four times.

Defeating William of Montferrat in Acre :
----------------------------------------------------------
After the guards (or most of them) leave William, drop down from the castle and slay William. Afterward, "de-target" or deselect, and run up into the castle buildings and battlement to get away. This is the fastest way of completing the mission.



Unlocking doors :
-------------------------
When you go to bed after Memory Block 2, you will notice your closet door is open. Hit any button to get a piece of paper Desmond notes as a code. The code will unlock your bedroom door which will allow you to be able to go out as often as you like after you are put to bed, as well as to open the meeting room area. You can also pick up various items to unlock Lucy's password.

Defeating the Master :
-------------------------------
When fighting the Master, he will take away your ability to use radar and make it difficult to see. This also allows him to hit you once and kill you. Lock on to him, and use a throwing knife against him. This will take away his power to blind you and make him easier to kill. The first part is simple. Take out your sword, as you will be fighting all your previous assassination targets. They are fairly easy to kill. Only one counter is required to kill each of them. For the second part, as soon as Al Mualim releases you, use your Eagle Vision. The real Al Mualim is the one in yellow. Focus your attacks on him. In the third part, Al Mualim takes away your synchronization bar and radar, allowing him to kill you in one hit. Take out your throwing knives. Look for the Piece of Eden in his hand. Once you see him, throw a knife at him. Then, just counterattack/grab break him. Keep repeating this until he says, "Damn you Altair!" Finish him off with your hidden blade or keep attacking him with your sword until he is dead. When Al Mualim gets ready for the final part of the battle immediately after his third speech, lock on to him and equip your hidden blade. Move closer to him and when he is ready to attack, counter him to score an instant kill. He will fall to the ground and you can easily assassinate him without chasing him all over the courtyard. However, only do this if you have mastered the use of your counter attacks.

Defeating Al Mualim :
-------------------------------
When you first engage in combat mode against him (after fighting the duplicates of Al Mualim) lock on to him by pressing LT Xbox 360 or L2 PlayStation3 . Quickly equip the hidden blade before attacking. Wait for a counter and you will defeat him with the first blow you hit him. Note: This is after you fight Al Mualim when he makes about six duplicates of himself.

Defeating Templars :
------------------------------
When initiating combat against him, press L1 PlayStation3 or LB Xbox 360 to lock on to him. Then, quickly equip the hidden blade. Wait for him to attack you so that you can counter attack, killing him in one blow. This is better than the sword fight. When sword fighting if you counter, you will only knock him down and not kill the Templar.

Defeating William of Montferrat in Acre :
----------------------------------------------------------
After the guards (or most of them) leave William, drop down from the castle, and slay William. Then, "de-target" or deselect, and run up into the castle buildings and battlement to get away. This is the fastest way of completing the mission.

While in battle, if you see a guard you are fighting physically emote in any way (for example, taunting you or cowering in fear), press Low Profile Assassinate while facing them to score an instant kill without having to counter. The best weapon for more than four guards or thugs is the Short Blade.
