Capcom has brought us some of the most addicting combat I have seen in a game. Bloody combat has never been so brutal and so much fun in an action game! This walkthrough is designed to get you through the main game of Shadow of Rome and to help you find all the extras that are contained within. All the Salvos and all of the game's secrets are listed below the walkthrough. Each of Agrippa's Arena stages has a Gold Ranking Strategy to help you out on gaining those gold medals and each of Octavianus' stages have coin locations for each area. Please note that everything is written for normal mode. As in my other walkthroughs I have stayed away from anything dealing with the plot but if you consider boss names a spoiler then tread carefully. Please enjoy this FAQ and give me an email if you have any questions comments or if you find anything that I missed. Any comments suggestions questions etc are always welcome. Email me at berserker_kev@yahoo com. Also if you find any errors in this FAQ (I don't care how little of an error) then please email me about it.-- Berserker _______ / ___ \ [CW00]----------------------------------/ / \ \----------------------------------II CHARACTER CONTROLS AND WEAPONS II----------------------------------\ \___/ /---------------------------------- \_______/========================= = CHARACTERS CONTROLS ==========================-----------------AGRIPPA'S ACTIONS-----------------Auto-target - Hold R1 while an enemy is on the screen to auto-target them. Use the right analog to switch between opponents. This makes stealth kills much easier in the first few stages. First person view - Hold R2. This can be used for stealth kill as well or just looking around. Block - Hold L1. You can block at any time but if you have a weapon equipped the block will be more guaranteed. Appeal to the Crowd - Press X + Square. This will only help you in the arena but feel free to use as a taunt outside of the arena. Punch - Press X or Square while weaponless to make Agrippa punch. Press X or Square with a weapon equipped to perform a variety of different moves depending on the weapon. See the weapons section for more details. Shoulder Ram - Hold R1 and press toward your opponent and X. Power Attack (Charge Attack) - Press and hold X or Square to charge an attack. Most attacks can be charged. Supra Attack - Hold R1 and press toward your opponent and X. Kick - Hold R1 and press away from your opponent and X or Square. Enemy Shield - Stand behind a stunned opponent and press Square to use them as a shield to oncoming attacks. Suplex - Stand behind a stunned opponent and press Square to grab them then keep tapping either Square or X to suplex them. On the Salvo list this referred to as the Human Catapult. Attacking Enemies on the Ground:-- Stomping - Press X over a fallen opponent.-- Grab - Press Square over a fallen opponent.-- Weapon Attack - Hold R1 and press Square over a downed opponent. Stealing weapons from enemies:-- Grab and struggle - While weaponless stand next to an opponent that is not attacking or taking damage and press X to initiate a struggle for his/her weapon. Tap X or Square to pull the weapon out of your opponent's hands.-- Snatch - While weaponless press X the moment right before a weapon attack connects to instantly snatch the weapon from the enemy's hands. Dropping Weapons or items:-- Drop weapon (right-hand) - D-pad right.-- Drop weapon (left-hand) - D-pad left.-- Drop helmet - D-pad up.-------------------OCTAVIANUS' ACTIONS-------------------Pick up. Examine. Talk - Press O. Do not pick up a weapon in front of a guard while disguised or your disguise will be ruined. Use an Item/Weapon - Press either Square or X depending on which hand the weapon is held in. Like Agrippa. Octavianus can handle two weapons at a time. Hiding an Item/Weapon - Press and hold both L1 and R1 to hide your current weapon behind your back. Make sure to keep your front side to your foe. Octavianus will automatically lock on to the closest foe while the buttons are being held. Whistle - Press both Square and X together. This move is priceless and must be used during certain stages of the game to lure guards toward a specific area to quickly knock them out or get by them - don't forget about it!Walk - Hold L1 while moving. You will have to walk a bunch when guards are present whether you are in disguise or not. Running will ruin you disguise. Crouch - Press and hold L2. This can be used for sneaking by enemies or to knock them out quickly. First person view - Hold R2. Just like with Agrippa this can be used to make your aiming better. Auto-target - Hold R1. Use this before striking an opponent with an object to make sure you hit him/her correctly. Use the right analog to switch between opponents. Dropping Weapons:-- Drop weapon (right-hand) - D-pad right.-- Drop weapon (left-hand) - D-pad left.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------============= = WEAPONS ==============-----------------AGRIPPA'S WEAPONS----------------->> BARE FISTS <<Agrippa's bare fists are not too damaging but he does have quite a variety of attacks while weaponlessMoves and combos:-- Square. Square. Square-- X. X-- Square. Square. X-- Square. Square. X. Square. X - Fists of Fury.-- Toward + X - Ram Supra Attack. A charged ram is an excellent way to make the enemy drop their weapon.-- Back + X (or Square) - Kick. This can also be done with a weapon equipped.-- Press X right before an enemy's weapon attack - Agrippa will snatch the weapon directly out of the enemy's hand and knock them him down.-- Press X when next to an enemy with a weapon - This will start a struggle in which Agrippa will attempt to steal the weapon directly out of the enemy's hands. Tap X when the struggle for the weapon starts. The enemy must not be in the middle of an attack while attempting to steal. The best time to do this is while the enemy is blocking with a weapon.>> GLADIUS (Normal. Guardian or Power) or SAI (Roma) <<The Gladius is the most basic weapon in the game. The Sai can cut off an arm from an opponent with a charged hit but still pales in comparison to the Scimitar. Moves and combos:-- X. X. X - Sword slash combo.-- X. X toward + X - Sword slash into thrust combo.-- Toward + X - Forward thrust supra attack. This can be used to finish opponents off for some extra Salvos or when you need to get a quick strike on an opponent.-- Triangle - Throw the Gladius. It will impale an opponent if thrown for the final hit.>> MACE (Normal. Power or Grand) or GERMAN AXE <<The Mace is the most powerful of the one-handed weapons and can break helmets shields or other weapons rather quickly. Moves and combos:-- X. X - Overhead strike into mace uppercut.-- Toward + X - Overhead smash supra attack. If charged this will crush an opponents head for the final strike.-- X toward + X - Overhead strike into overhead smash.>> SCIMITAR (Normal or Power) <<The Scimitar is easily the most deadly of the one-handed since it can cut off an arm or head very quickly without even a charged hit. Moves and combos:-- X. X. X. X - The main combo for the Scimitar. This combo can easily cut an arm for your opponent. The many hits of the combo can be charged to guarantee and amputation.-- Toward + X - The reaper.>> MORNINGSTAR and WAR CHAIN <<This is the ultimate weapon for a crowd since nothing can get to you during the X swing.-- X - This will swing the whip around and can be done continuously as long as the weapon last. One hit with an X swing while the enemy is stunned will automatically break an arm.-- Toward + X - A powerful overhead strike with some pretty good reach. This will crush an opponents head very easily.>> MAUL (Normal or Power) <<Moves and combos:-- X - Overhead smash. This will crush an opponent's head for the final attack if charged.-- Charge X then tap X - This will add an extra hit known as a Tee-Off to the overhead smash.-- Toward + X - Maul Thrust. When charged this move can break an opponent's arm.-- Square - Horizontal Strike. If you charge this it will break an opponent's arm just like the thrust move.>> DAGGER (Normal or Claw Shard) <<Not too useful by itself but it has a most deadly instant behind/stealth kill that can be performed any time that an opponent staggers. Moves and combos:-- Square. Square. Square. Square - the only combo for the dagger. Not too useful by itself.-- Square from behind a staggering or weak opponent - This is the dagger's instant kill move entitled "Stuck Pig". The animation will differ depending on which gladiator you do this to.>> MAGNUS SWORD <<This is where the party's at! This weapon will allow you to totally strip any opponent of their limbs in seconds. Moves and combos:-- X. X - the basic combo. When charged this move can take out an arm per slice. If the enemy is weak the first strike and second strike will either chop them in half or chop off their head the second strike will chop off their head.-- X. X toward + X - the above combo with an added jumping overhead strike.-- Toward + X - Overhead strike.-- Square - horizontal strike. When charged this move will almost always cut off some attachment. If the opponent is staggering it will cut them in half when charged.>> SPEAR (Normal. Apollo. Gedo or Zedo) <<A powerful weapon with good reach though not as deadly as the other two-handed weapons. The spear can be the best weapon for pressuring techniques and can break an opponents weapon pretty quickly when using its charge supra attack. Moves and combos:-- X. X. X. X - basic spear combo-- Square - Spear strike.-- Toward + X - Spear thrust supra attack. Do this for the final hit and it will impale the opponent.-- Charge Toward + X tap X - This will impale the opponent and throw them. The animation will vary depending on the size of the opponent.-- Triangle - The spear takes a bunch of damage when thrown and will impale an opponent for the final hit.>> SHIELD (Roma. German. Parma. Spike or Guardian) <<The shields are quite useful whether you have a weapon in your other hand or not. The Square. X combo can really help out for pressuring opponents. Moves and combos (without weapon):-- Square. X - Agrippa will hit his opponent with the shield and then ram them. Moves and combos (with weapon):-- Square. X. X. X (w/Mace) - Agrippa will hit his opponent with the shield and then start a three hit Mace combo.-- Square. X. X. X. X (w/Gladius) - Agrippa will hit his opponent with the shield and then start a four hit Gladius combo.-- Square. X toward + X - Same as above except he will end with the equipped weapon's supra attack.-- X. Square - Agrippa can cancel into a shield ram at any time during a normal weapon combo before the final hit of each combo.>> ROCK <<You are totally open to an attack when grabbing a rock and while throwing it but a rock hit is a guaranteed weapon drop. Keep that last part in mind. These are mainly used for loading catapults. Moves and combos:-- X - Rock toss.>> BARREL (Empty or Oil-filled) <<It can be risky to go after these during an arena battle but if you manage to hit an enemy with a barrel full of oil they will be a sitting duck for a torch hit. Some barrels do not contain oil though so it is a gamble. Throw oil-filled barrels at enemies with torches for some instant fires. Moves and combos:-- X - Barrel toss.>> SLING (Stone or Oil) <<A sling can be useful from a distance if the enemy sits still long enough but for the most part it is totally useless. Preparing to throw a rock from a sling will leave you wide open to an attack. Moves and combos:-- Square - Stone (oil) toss.>> BOW (Normal or Flame) <<The bow is good to wear your enemies down with from a distance and for constant pressure but it is not too damaging. For the fire bow it is much like the regular bow by itself but if the enemy is consumed in oil this weapon is priceless. Moves and combos:-- Square - Shoot an arrow.>> TORCH <<This weapon is basically useless unless the enemy is consumed in oil. It can be used to light pools of oil into flames also. It only annoys enemies by stunning them for a few seconds otherwise.-- Square - Wave the torch.>> ROSE <<Roses are only used to boost your Salvos. You can attack appeal to the crowd or throw a rose to the crowd for some extra Salvos. Moves and combos:-- X - Thorns of the Rose. The Rose's "attack".-------------------OCTAVIANUS' WEAPONS------------------->> APPLE or STONE <<These are basically used to get the enemies' attention but you can also throw them at the enemies for fun. Sometimes it is required that you throw them.>> BANANA PEELS <<Put a banana peel in a foe's path for an instant knock out. The foe will not notice the banana peel on the ground and will slip on it.>> JUG. OLIVE OIL POT. HONEY POT. WINE FLASK <<Strike a guard or foe with this to knock them out. After they are knocked down Octavianus can steal their clothes or take valuable items from them. The Olive Oil Pot and Honey Pot can take out multiple foes with the liquid it will leave on the ground which will cause them to slip if they pass through it. While in the maid outfit. Octavianus can carry a jug around freely without being noticed.>> DARTS or PENS <<These are mainly used for distracting your foes. Use the first person button (R2) for more precise aiming.>> FROGS or RATS <<These animals can be used to frighten off maids or waitresses found in the game. Lay them down with the appropriate direction on the directional pad and they will move toward the maids or waitresses or throw them in the direction of the maids or waitresses to make them run.>> FLOUR <<This is only found on one stage and it is extremely useful when combined with a jug. Tap Square to throw flour at your foes then strike them with a jug as they stumble around blindly. _______ / ___ \ [WT00]----------------------------------/ / \ \----------------------------------III WALKTHROUGH III----------------------------------\ \___/ /---------------------------------- \_______/ /\ _ __/\__/\_ _/\__/\__ _ /\| |----| |---------/ \ / \---------| |----| || |----|_|---------\__ __ _/ AGRIPPA \_ __ __/---------|_|----| | \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/-- FIRST BATTLE --CITY ARENA -- Practice Round -- Eliminationo-----------------o| Gold - ------ || Silver - ------ || Bronze - ------ |o-----------------oThis first arena battle is designed to get you familiar with the controls. Agrippa must start without any weapons so you will basically have to take what you can get when you first start out. Immediately run up and grab the Gladius and start taking down your opponents. Use Agrippa's ram attack to make the gladiators drop their weapons or try to use the X button when in close to steal the weapon right out of their hand when your Gladius breaks. Wear them down with a weapon then try to do something special to finish them off as they stagger. Bash their head in with a supra attack from the mace suplex them throw a weapon at them. Show off with the final hit and appeal to the crowd in the hope of getting a powerful weapon. In the second room grab the Shield and use it combined with a smaller weapon to defeat the gladiator in the back with the bow. Two more gladiators will storm into the arena from the back. Try not to let them get ahold of any big weapons if the crowd throws them to you. In the third room you must kill unarmed prisoners to please the crowd. They will simply drop to their knees exposing them to a one hit kill or run around the arena in a panic. The Roman guard to the side can be killed as well if your bloody frenzy is not satisfied with just the prisoners. When killing the prisoners be sure to appeal to the audience to get some better weapons for the fight ahead. After disposing of the prisoner a big gladiator will come through the gates. He's not too much of a problem if you have any kind of weapon. The main move to watch out for is his ram attack which can be avoided by running to the side. His Maul swing can be easily avoided by stepping back out of the way as he starts to swing. Get behind him and hit him if he keeps guarding your attacks. Defeat him to finish the stage.

Be sure to grab the Roma Shield from the set of two boxes off to the side. The helmet inside the box in the cave is useless since your current helmet is much stronger. Walk down the path in the upper east portion of the map and talk to the Roman soldier. Three barbarians will attack. Wear them down with your current weapon and pick up one of their weapons when your current weapon breaks. Hit them with the shield first and then do a weapon combo for some extra hits. If they start to stagger from weakness use a charged supra attack for an instant kill with any weapon. /\ _ __/\__/\_ _/\__/\__ _ /\| |----| |---------/ \ / \---------| |----| || |----|_|---------\__ __ _/ OCTAVIANUS \_ __ __/---------|_|----| | \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/-- THE FORUM --Objective: Find PansaTalk to some fellow Romans to gather information and leave the Forum. You must talk to the guy with the robe near the entrance to leave this area.-- SENATE HOUSE --> In Front of SenateWalk down the street ahead until you reach the Senate Gates. /\ _ __/\__/\_ _/\__/\__ _ /\| |----| |---------/ \ / \---------| |----| || |----|_|---------\__ __ _/ AGRIPPA \_ __ __/---------|_|----| | \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/-- FOREST OF GERMANIA --> Germanian ForestObjective: Invade the Germanic Fort and capture their leaderSneak up behind the first few barbarians down the trail and target them then throw a weapon at them (Triangle) to take them out quickly. Don't pick up their weapons your Gladius is much stronger. Once the bridge next to the waterfall is reached get behind the wrecked wagon. Use the R2 button to get the barbarian up above in your sites and throw your Gladius at him for another instant kill. There is another barbarian behind the crate to the left side across the bridge. Make sure you have a weapon before you enter the next area! Take the meat with you if you do not need it just yet. Climb the ladder and enter the cave.> Fort Rear GateStay to the left and sneak up behind the barbarian guarding the front gate. Crouch behind the trees and he will not notice you. Throw a weapon at him for an instant kill. If he notices you two other barbarians will join him and make getting inside the fort much harder than it should be. He will leave you with the GERMANIC TRIBE FORT KEY.> Germanic Tribe FortDon't go down the corridor just yet. Wait by the wall and a barbarian will pass by in the distance. Quietly sneak around the corner and throw a weapon at him. There is some meat in the crate further around the corner on the left. In the area where the barbarian came from you will run across one more barbarian. Once you get further into the fort your men will storm the camp. At this point you can either help out your fellow soldiers or run by them. A few barbarians will stand in your path but the main threat will come from the archers up high in the later area. Throw a weapon (preferably and axe) at them for a one-hit kill. In the second area try to carry either a Roma Shield or a piece of meat in your left hand for the battle ahead. Keep moving until you arrive at a cell that is holding a captured Roman soldier. Do not grab the meat in the crate just yet if you do not need it. Defeat the barbarian guarding the cell to get the FORT PRISON KEY. Use the key to open the cell door.===============================================================================> Boss - BARCARecommended Weapon: Anything you can get ahold of. Thanks to the little space you have to maneuver around in this battle can be pretty tough your first time through. If your fellow soldiers manage to draw his attention then hit from the back as he attacks them. His main attack is his axe swipe which is blockable if you have a shield. He also has an overhead strike that he will sometimes do after the first swing. When he starts his ram attack run to the sides to avoid it. Try to hit him sparingly as he recovers from his attacks. Use any weapon that you can find lying on the ground. It is possible to knock his axe out of his hand and you can actually use it if you can grab it quickly - throw a Mace at him to make him drop it then grab it quickly. It takes off a good chunk of life if you charge each swing but the weapon is very weak in strength causing it to break easily. Step in and out from his attacks and you should be able make him swing and be able to avoid it in the process. Attack him while he recovers from each attack and you'll whittle his life down in no time. After his axe breaks or after you steal his axe he will go for the weapons lying around on the ground. He is completely open to any type of attack at that time. If you haven't gotten it before the battle there is some meat in a wooden crate near the cell and a Gladius in the other crate.=============================================================================== /\ _ __/\__/\_ _/\__/\__ _ /\| |----| |---------/ \ / \---------| |----| || |----|_|---------\__ __ _/ OCTAVIANUS \_ __ __/---------|_|----| | \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/-- PANSA'S HOUSE --Objective: Find a way inside the Senate Storehouse. You might want to familiarize yourself with the location of Octavianus' Room. From the area you start enter the room behind you and jump on top of the cabinet. Drop out the window and down the boxes to find the door to his room. You may also want to enter the Storage Area right next to Pansa's House for some extra coins. Collect the Silver Fortune Coins around the area and head for the Forum. Coin Locations- On the floor to Pansa's left.- Directly in front of the entrance to Octavianus' Room.- To the left above the entrance to the Storage Area. Lean against the wall from the wooden platform of Pansa's House or from the crack in the wall in the Storage Area (2F).> Storage AreaCoin Locations- Climb up the ladder and it will be at the top.- Lean against the wall after you climb the ladder and it will be at the end near the exit.-- THE FORUM --Talk to the Senator and the guards. It seems that the Roman guards are being underpaid for their duties.. how unfortunate. Leave the Forum area and head for the Senate GatesCoin Locations- As you enter the Forum turn right and run all the way to the first two small pillars on the right. Look in between them.- On top of the speaker platform to left of the guards and the Senator.- In front of the doors of the big building in the back.-- SENATE HOUSE --> In Front of SenateSave your game in front of the Senate Storehouse and talk to the guard. If you did not visit the Forum and talk to the guards then you will not be able to get inside. Talk to him and when he asks you to state your business tell him "I come bearing important news.". "There's trouble in the Forum.". "The Army's gone on strike.". "It's about negotiations for unpaid wages." Any answer will suffice for the remainder of questions and he will give you a silver coin. Enter the Senate Storehouse as he runs away. Coin Locations- Persuade the guard to leave and he will give you one.> Senate VaultWalk down the left hall and walk behind the crate when the guard enters (you don't need to duck). After he walks over to the area in the back go toward the door that he was guarding and enter. Crouch and move behind the wooden furniture and follow the guard in the back as he enters the next room (stay behind him though not too close). Walk around the side of the bookshelves. Go to the far side and you will see a door off to the left. Make sure the guard has his back to you and enter the room. Grab a jug from the table behind the Senator (O) and strike him with if from behind (X). Stand beside his body and take his toga (O). While in disguise you must only walk and you cannot do any of Octavianus' stealth moves (crouching walk clinging running) or you will arouse suspicion. If you grab an item you must hide it behind your back (R1 + L1) and keep your front side to each person. Leave the Senate Vault and walk across the street to the Senate House and talk to the guard. Coin Locations- To the right of the first crate off to the right when you first enter.- On the right side of the room with the three guards.- Knock out the leftmost guard in the room with the three guards (gold). Getting the Gold Fortune CoinThis is a pretty hard gold coin to get. The guard on the left side of the room with the three guards carries it. Don't worry about the first guard that walks down the corridor. Walk into the room with the Senator but do not strike him just yet. Pick up either jug and walk into the area with the pacing guard. Walk behind the bookshelf and wait till the guard walks toward the door with the Senator. Strike him when he reaches the door and steal his armor. Drag the unconscious guard's body behind the bookshelves to the side of the room. Go back and grab another jug. Walk near the room with the three guards and just before you get to the doorway whistle - this will lure the closest guard. Stand behind the bookshelves and wait until he enters the room and leaves then quickly jump out and strike him as he walks back through the doorway. This is where it gets hard. IMMEDIATELY drag his body behind the bookshelf before the guards in the other room enter. Run to either room and grab another jug. This time stand right next to the door entrance and whistle - this will lure another guard. Hide behind the bookshelf and strike him as he walks away like the last guard. You will have to hide his body just as quickly as the last guard's body since the other will come to check out the noise. Now grab another jug and strike the other guard to get your gold coin. Go back and strike the Senator and take his clothes like you normally would do.> Senate House CourtyardWalk by the guards and enter the Senate House.> Senate Hall SouthThere is a guard guarding the door in which you need to enter. Grab a jug and stand to the left of the statue and whistle (X + Square) to catch his attention. As he walks around one side go around the other and sneak up behind him and strike him. Take the HALL OF POMPEY KEY and the Gold Fortune Coin. You can also take his armor if you want. Use the key on the door that the guard was standing next to. Coin Locations- Knock out the lone guard (gold).> Hall of PompeyOnce you walk down the hall go into the meeting room and save your game on the pedestal in the back. Enter through the next door in the hall. Coin Locations- On the far left as you enter the Meeting Room- On the emblem engraved in the floor of the Meeting Room.- Behind the second torch in the hall.> Senate Hall NorthDuck and peep through the door (L2 + O) to hear a conversation between Cicero and Marcus. Walk further down the hall until you see some rope to the right. Wait for the guard to turn his back pick up the rope and sneak behind him to strangle him (press Square then tap Square). Walk back to the doorway with the Roman soldier is guarding and sneak up behind him and strange him. Walk into the Library and strangle the guard behind the left bookshelf. Leave him behind there. The door in the back has a guard behind it. Stand next to the vase and whistle to get the guard's attention. Hide in the vase and wait until he searches and starts to walk off then jump out of the vase and strangle him. Inside the room there is letter to Caesar from Vipsanius on the table. Climb over the wooden closet and open the red door.> Getting the Gold Fortune CoinThere are two ropes on the pedestal so this shouldn't be too hard. Walk past the room with Cicero and Marcus and strangle the pacing guard for a Gold Fortune Coin. Coin Locations- Strangle the pacing guard down the hall from the room with Cicero and Marcus (Gold).- In the Library on top of the cabinet next to the far left bookshelf.- On top of the right bookshelf. Climb the left bookshelf and go across the stone beam to reach the top of the right bookshelf.- Right next to the table with the letter.- After viewing the letter hop onto the cabinet and climb up the side of the wall. Walk over to the top of the bookcase to find it. /\ _ __/\__/\_ _/\__/\__ _ /\| |----| |---------/ \ / \---------| |----| || |----|_|---------\__ __ _/ AGRIPPA \_ __ __/---------|_|----| | \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/-- THE FORUM --Objective: Prevent Vipsania's execution. To start things off you will have to fight two Roman Soldiers with Spears. Dash around them and wait for them to strike then attack them as they recover. They are very weak so you should be able to take them out rather quickly.===============================================================================> Boss - DECIUSDecius is extremely hard in this battle and will give you little chance to hit him. The only way to strike him is to hit him directly after one of his attacks - whether it is his lunge attack or during his combo he will be open for a slight second. Any other hit besides a counter will be deflected by his Sestuses. Grab the Spear on the ground for a better chance at hitting him. This battle is one-sided - whether you win by taking 25% of his life or lose by having him taking all of yours the outcome will be the same.=============================================================================== /\ _ __/\__/\_ _/\__/\__ _ /\| |----| |---------/ \ / \---------| |----| || |----|_|---------\__ __ _/ OCTAVIANUS \_ __ __/---------|_|----| | \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/-- SYRACUSE PRISON --> Syracuse Prison EntranceObjective: Find VipsaniusWalk down the path ahead and climb on top of the yellowish box near the end. Climb on top of the rock wall and jump down to the other side. Through the door you will find all types of utensils for knocking out guards. Grab the rope and head through the doorway. Duck and hug the railing to make your way across to the door. There are guards near the windows so be wary. Open the door and walk over to the doorway on your left. Strangle the guard inside with the rope (do NOT use a jug) and take his armor. Grab the PRISON KEY 1F on the table. Open the double doors in the back using the prison key. Getting the Gold Fortune CoinInside the area where you get the Prison Key the rightmost guard has the coin. Strangle the first guard in the room next to the key and drag him toward the rock hall with the door. Stand next to the right of the doorway to the room and whistle. Hide in the hall and wait for the guards to search around. As they leave grab the last one and strangle him with the rope. Drag his body to the rock hall as well. Whistle again in the same area and strangle the last guard in the same manner and he will have the Gold Fortune Coin. Coin Locations- When you first enter walk through the right doorway (made of rock) and it will be inside the prison down the right side.- Climb on top of the yellowish wooden box and climb onto the rock wall. The coin will be near the end where you can jump off.- Once on the other side of the rock wall it will be in the back on the left side.- In the far south of the rock corridor on the west side. Look at the map.- Knock out the rightmost guard in the room with the key (gold).> Syracuse Prison 1FClimb up the crate to the east. In the back duck down and fall through the hole in the wall. The first door is locked but the second is unlocked. Walk to the second room and pull yourself to the top of the stone platform. Duck and enter the small crawlspace. After you drop down unlock the door in the room and go up the stairs. Coin Locations- Behind a small crate in the stack of crates on the east side.- On the west side behind the furthest rock.> Syracuse Prison 2FWalk by the guard and head for the door furthest to the left beside the Break Room door. The Break Room door is locked for the moment. Stay away from the guard since he will usually see through your disguise without questioning. Keep your distance from the prisoners - the first one gets rowdy. There is a ladder next to the empty cell. Coin Locations- In the furthest cell to the right.- To the left as you step onto the prison walkway.> Syracuse Prison 3FSave your game and walk down the hall.===============================================================================Boss - Roman Soldiers with Flame BowsRun to the nearest torch and grab it. Hide behind the bridge. One hit from any arrow will kill Octavianus so you must be sure to take cover often. You must hit the ropes that hold up the bridge in order to win this battle. Only step out from the cover of the bridge while they ready another arrow and hit each rope no more than two times during each trip. You may have to step out every now and then to get them to fire. It should only take one torch to burn all four ropes.===============================================================================After the battle climb the wooden planks on the wall across the bridge and walk down the corridor. Open the door to end this segment. Coin Locations- Before going across the bridge look in the back behind the rock on the left. You will have to run against the camera angle.- To the right of the bridge before going across it.- Once on the other side of the bridge it will be on the floor of the corridor. /\ _ __/\__/\_ _/\__/\__ _ /\| |----| |---------/ \ / \---------| |----| || |----|_|---------\__ __ _/ AGRIPPA \_ __ __/---------|_|----| | \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/-- SYRACUSE PRISON --> Syracuse Prison 3FObjective: Escape Syracuse PrisonFirst things first save that game! For the rooms that are to follow in this segment you will have defeat the Roman guards in your path and protect Octavianus in the process. If Octavianus dies you die. All you're basically doing at this part is backtracking through the rooms Octavianus just visited so you should know your way through the prison pretty well. Charge through the door in front of Agrippa and begin your escape. Take the weapons of each soldier you kill if your current weapon is damaged. The third soldier will have a shield for you. The gate across the bridge is now open so the stairs to the second floor can now be reached.> Syracuse Prison 2FThere are plenty of soldiers here that can be snuck up on so be sure to stealth kill (target and throw your weapon from a distance) if the option is available. Start out with a shield hit and then chain that into sword strikes to take out the Roman soldiers quicker. At the end of the prison kill the guard with the Spear to get the BREAK ROOM KEY. He also has a Roma Helmet and of course his Spear. The crate to the side contains a piece of Meat. When you leave the room be sure to break the large crate at the end of the hall for a Halberd. Charged X swings with the Halberd will cut the arms of your enemies - a charged supra attack (toward + X) will do the same thing. Travel down the stairs to the side.> Syracuse Prison 1FThe first Roman soldier with the Spear has the CELL BLOCK KEY for the door at the end. In the next room a soldier with a bow will shoot you from up high as three other soldiers charge you. Kill the first three quickly and work your way to the stairs to get rid of the one with the bow. Stay next to the wall and the soldier with the bow won't be able to hit you. The red door at the top has a crate with a piece of meat inside. Carry it in your left hand and a sword in the other if you think you might need it. Go through the double doors at the top to reach the next area.> Syracuse Prison EntranceA soldier to the right will immediately attack once the room is entered. Be sure to take the right path on your way out and you will be able to surprise a few guards with a thrown weapon from the back. Run toward the area where Octavianus started his last mission.-- FOREST --Objective: Defeat the BanditsWhen the cutscene ends bandits will attack both Agrippa and Claudia. Don't worry too much about Claudia since she is immortal for the moment. Look for the bandit with the Maul and attack him first. Defeat him and take his Maul. Use a charged Square swing (or charged supra attack) to break the arms of whatever enemies are in front of you. Once an enemy is crippled that will limit his attacks greatly. Grab a dagger to finish off a staggering bandit from behind with a throat cut. There is some meat in the crate to the side. This battle is merely a preview of things to come in the arena.

You will start without a weapon and will need to either steal a weapon or break one of the crates for one. If you get a Scimitar use charged swings (X or Supra attack) to chop off the arms of your opponent. Use a charged attack while they stagger for a special kill. Pick up your enemy's severed head and throw it to Sextus to show him that you are indeed worthy of becoming a gladiator - you don't have to but it doesn't hurt to show off early.> Round 2 - The basics of two-handed weaponsTwo-handed weapons are where the fun begins. A charged swing with any of the heavier two-handed weapons is basically a guaranteed head/arm crush/cut depending on the enemies' life. The Spear has the longest range of the two-handed weapons. It's supra attack can reach incredibly far. Also try to do a Tornado Maximus swing with the Halberd for some intense damage.> Round 3 - The basics of one-handed weapons with shieldsA one-handed weapon with a shield can make for a very excellent combination for one opponent both defensively and offensively. The shield alone is quite good. Use Square to attack with the shield then chain into an X attack for some good combos. For this round. Sextus will want you to perform a Human Catapult (suplex). Wear your opponent down until he starts to stagger then get behind him and press Square to grab him. Tap X or Square to suplex him. An enemy can also be used as a shield after the grab if you do not press any buttons afterward.> Round 4 - Impress Sextus with your abilitiesBasically the more Salvos (or points) you earn for doing special kills the more the crowd (or Sextus in this case) will appreciate your performance. After doing enough special kills or Salvo moves (see Salvo List) you can appeal to the crowd (Square + X) to double your Salvo points and possibly get a more powerful weapon.> Round 5 - Fight Claudia?===============================================================================> Boss - CLAUDIAFor this battle you will only have the option to use a wooden sword. There are two pieces of meat lying around on the arena floor if you start to run low in life. Claudia's attacks consist basically of kick combos and an occasional roll and stab. Wait until she finishes an attack then combo her or charge a supra attack as she finishes an attack or kick combo to immediately counter her. It's good to fight her with a wooden sword in your right hand and a piece of meat in your other hand so you can take a few victory chomps after knocking her down. Sextus will throw you a new wooden sword as your first one weakens.===============================================================================-- TRAINING FACILITY --> Underground ArenaIt's a good idea to have a look around the living quarters to get used to the various rooms. Talk to the guy near the save point to engage in Underground Arena Battles. These are basically practice battles that will prepare you for battles to come. Only the "Novice" rounds are available at the moment. Go into Sextus' Area 1F which is near the outside gladiator Training Ground and talk to him when you are ready to start some City Arena challenges. CITY ARENA -- Round I -- Battle Royaleo-----------------o| Gold - 65,000 || Silver - 40,000 || Bronze - 25,000 |o-----------------oRequirements:1) Kill all of your opponents.2) Get at least 15,000 Salvos. Just like the first arena battle. Agrippa will start out without a weapon in this one as well. The first objective is to retrieve a weapon from somewhere. The statues on the side near the area where you start hold a Scimitar and a Mace and the background statues hold a Maul and Halberd. The crowd will toss a few weapons into the arena at the beginning as well. Try to ram an opponent to make him drop his weapon or steal it right from his hands. Once you get a weapon. I would recommend going to one of the statues in the back and getting either the Maul or the Halberd from either statue (break it). Once you get ahold of either one use it to wound your enemies so they can't fight back too well (break their arms). Try to go for the big gladiators first. Look for any weak opponents and take them out with a charge attack for a special kill then appeal to the crowd. The hardest part about this battle is getting a weapon but if you manage to get a big weapon and wound some of the other gladiators then this round is yours. Gold Ranking StrategySalvos. Salvos. Salvos! You will need to perform many different types of Salvo moves in order to get a gold ranking here. From the start go over to the Scimitar statue immediately and break it as fast as you can. Use the Scimitar to cut off the limbs of any gladiator that comes up to you. Appeal to the crowd with their head or throw their arms into the crowd if you there aren't too many opponents around you. Once the Scimitar breaks find a Maul or Halberd - hopefully the crowd has thrown one by now if not then get one from the statues in the back. Use a staggering opponent as a shield if you find one limping around the arena. Use the bigger weapon to start breaking or cutting off arms. Stomp your opponents as they roll in agony to boost your Salvos. Do not break the big guys helmets! You will need those helmets to boost your Salvos once they die. If the audience throws a rose grab it and appeal to them with it for three times the Salvo points. Pick up a Scimitar when your opponents get really weak and start chopping off heads. Try equipping different types of helmets and weapons for some extra Salvo points (See Salvo List). CITY ARENA -- Round II -- Eliminationo-----------------o| Gold - 65,000 || Silver - 40,000 || Bronze - 25,000 |o-----------------oRequirements:1) Defeat all of your opponents. Start out with whatever weapon of your choosing and immediately run up and hit the gladiator with the shield. Knock him down then run and climb the ladder. Defeat the female gladiator or make her get down off the platform. Get rid of her on the ground if she climbs down and take out the male gladiator with the shield as well. On the other side there is a big gladiator with a Halberd and normal size gladiator in the back. Run to the other side and try to get up the ladder as best you can. If the gladiators knock you off hit them and run back to the ladder. Get to the top and make the female gladiator retreat or kill her. If you are weaponless when you make it to the top then ram her steal the bow and climb back down. After both females have been disposed of the rest shouldn't be much of a problem. Appeal to the crowd and they may throw you a Magnus Sword which will help out greatly. Wound the big guy and he shouldn't bother you too much. Gold Ranking StrategyStart the battle without a weapon. Run up to the male gladiator and grab his weapon and knock him down with it. Climb the ladder and defeat the female then get rid of the male below. Run to the other side and climb the ladder to get rid of the other female gladiator. Knock the other opponents around and perform as many Salvos as you can. Appeal to the crowd and they should throw you a Magnus Sword if you have done enough bloodshed. Use a charged X. X combo with the Magnus Sword to totally amputate the limbs of whatever enemy is in front of you and stomp on him as he falls. Do the same to a second enemy. If you cut off his head then quickly grab it and appeal to the crowd. They should throw a second Magnus Sword by then. Chop down the rest of the gladiators with what is left. If you take off any arms then smack the enemy with one and throw the arm into the crowd afterwards. The key to a gold ranking lies in the Magnus Sword for this round. CITY ARENA -- Round III -- Beast Hunto----------------o| Gold - 9,000 || Silver - 5,000 || Bronze - 3,000 |o----------------oRequirements:1) Finish off all the beasts. As long as you have a weapon this battle should be a piece of cake. Start out with whichever weapon of your choosing and slash away at the tigers. Make sure to keep an eye on their actions. If they jump back they are about to lunge at you so be ready to dodge. Try to work on one at a time and you should be able to take them out pretty quickly. Appeal to the crowd after performing a few Salvo moves and they will throw a spear to you. Gold Ranking StrategyStart the battle without a weapon as usual. The crowd will throw a Gladius to you right at the starting before the tigers even start attacking. Grab the Gladius and perform combos and charge attacks to boost your Salvos. After performing enough Salvo moves appeal to the crowd and they will throw you a Spear. Throw your current weapon at a tiger and grab the Spear. Combo and charge attack with the Spear as you did with the Gladius. If you appeal to the crowd after some more Salvo moves they might throw a Maul to you which will open up a whole new set of Salvo moves for you to obtain. Be careful when attacking with the Maul however since the attacks are very slow and will leave you open to a tiger lunge. /\ _ __/\__/\_ _/\__/\__ _ /\| |----| |---------/ \ / \---------| |----| || |----|_|---------\__ __ _/ OCTAVIANUS \_ __ __/---------|_|----| | \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/-- PANSA'S HOUSE --Objective: Find a way inside of the Senate House and search for CiceroMake your way to the Forum.

After climbing the ladder lean against the wall and cross the board.-- CITY GATES --> Merchant's Area- Inside the pub next to the right counter.- Right in front of the stolen goods merchant (To get back there to him you will need to lean against the wall near the middle of the area (west side) by some boxes and squeeze behind some buildings).- Up above the merchant in the middle area (east side) (You will have to climb a box to the left of the merchant).> City Gates- As you enter it will be to the far east.- Look for a space in between the left and middle corridor right before the exit.- Beside the women on the second floor of the east house (throw a frog or rat near them to get it).-- THE FORUM --Talk to the citizen to the west as you enter the Forum. After talking to him you need to speak to the people so go to the soupbox.. er speaker platform and walk to the edge and press O to talk to the people. Convince them to storm the Senate House. There are a variety of speeches you can use to enact them into doing so. Talk to the Senator with the beard afterwards to get a Silver Coin. Leave and go to the Senate House. Coin Locations- On the west side of the entrance wall.- In the far east right before you exit next to a pillar.- Up the stairs behind the third pillar from the left.- After talking to the people and getting them to leave talk to the Senator with the beard.-- SENATE HOUSE --> In Front of SenateJust look at the mess you've made! Why someone could sneak right into the.. exactly! Sneak inside the Senate via the door off to the left as you enter this area.> Front GardenObjective: Follow CiceroFor the following areas if Cicero sees you then the game is over. Follow behind Cicero but keep your distance and stay hidden behind the hedge (crouch). After the first cutscene stay out of the Senator's site and follow Cicero into the building. Coin Locations- In the far east behind a tree. You will have to sneak past the two guards to get it. Be sure to get it before following Cicero or the Senator will make getting to it that much harder.- Next to the first crate as you walk toward Cicero there is a path inside the hedge. Crouch and follow it to the back to find a coin.- On the side of the building Cicero enters in an alcove. You'll have to climb up to it.> Senate Hall WestWalk down the hall a little ways and go to the door on the south side closest to you. Coin Locations- In the room where you first start in front of the first set of seats.- In the room where you first start behind the podium.> Senate Hall SouthGo to the room off to the east (to the left of where you enter) and grab the toga from the closet on the right side (open it) upon entering the room. Go around the west side when you follow Cicero or else he will see you. In either room to the north or south of his meeting room climb the bookcase (south room only) and listen to his conversation through the air duct. Go back to the Senate Hall West after the cutscene. Coin Locations- Check the closet of the room to the south of Cicero's meeting place.- On top of the bookcase (climb it) in the room to the south of Cicero's meeting place.> Senate Hall WestFollow Cicero but keep your distance. In fact don't even stay in the same hall as him. He cannot get ahead of you so don't worry about keeping up with him. Grab one of the jugs in the room off to the side and use it to take the pacing guard's helmet and armor. Walk to the room that Cicero entered. Coin Locations- Knock out the guard with the helmet in the room with the three guards (gold). Getting the Gold CoinYou must strike the pacing guard with a jug and drag his body to the room in the north and hide it. Grab the other jug and go to the corner right before you turn to go down the hall next to the room with the three guards. The guard with the helmet has the Gold Coin. In order to get it stand in the corner and whistle. Two of the guards will come to check out the sound. The one with the helmet will stay behind if you let him see you in the distance (hide the jug). Wait until the other guard returns to the room - back down the hall just enough to where the guard with helmet will turn around and go back to the room with his buddies. Walk as fast as you can and strike him from behind. IMMEDIATELY take the Gold Coin from his body and run back to the other room with the unconscious guard since the other guards will enter the hall. If you do this quick enough they will not see you.> Hall of PompeyWalk toward the meeting room on the left. /\ _ __/\__/\_ _/\__/\__ _ /\| |----| |---------/ \ / \---------| |----| || |----|_|---------\__ __ _/ AGRIPPA \_ __ __/---------|_|----| | \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/CITY ARENA -- Round IV -- Team Battleo-----------------o| Gold - 25,000 || Silver - 15,000 || Bronze - 10,000 |o-----------------oRequirements:1) Break all the opposing team's stone statues before the time limit expires and before they destroy your team's statues. For this round you will have to work as a team with a fellow gladiator and break the statues of the opposing team. You are required to break three red statues. If you cut off any of the enemies' arms during this battle then that is automatic defeat since they are required to pull levers. Take advantage of this to quickly dispose of surrounding enemies once you get ahold of a big weapon. Start the battle with whichever weapon of your choosing. Approach the smaller gladiator on your team and get him to follow you by pressing O near him. Climb up the ladder and go across the platform to the next ladder. By the time you reach the bottom of the next ladder the other team should be approaching the ladder that you just got of. Knock them around a little while your partner runs over to the switch. When the gate around the statue lowers start pounding away on it. After it is destroyed appeal to the crowd and they might throw a bigger weapon to you. If they throw a Halberd that is great but if they throw a Maul that is perfect! The Maul can take out a statue in two hits if you hit it with two charged overhead (X) strikes. Climb up the next ladder and walk to the end of the platform next to the ladder at the end. Your partner should automatically climb down the ladder and tend to the switch at the bottom. If the other team starts to climb the ladder then knock them back down as they reach the top. Destroy the statue when the gate lowers and get down the ladder. Run toward the back and your partner should head toward the last switch. Fight off the other gladiators as best you can and destroy the last statue once the gate lowers. If your opponents stay right on top of you move around the statue so that their attacks might just help to destroy their own statue for you. Gold Ranking StrategyStart without a weapon and appeal to the crowd at the beginning and they should throw you one. Use the same strategy as above but change your weapon once you have performed enough Salvo moves with your current weapon. Be sure to knock the enemies off the ladders as they try to climb them. You may have to take a break from destroying the statues to focus on defeating your foes in order to boost your Salvos. The good part about fighting them is that they tend to focus on getting by you instead of fighting back. Appeal to the crowd often and they should keep you supplied with weapons. CITY ARENA -- Round V -- Siegeo-----------------o| Gold - 65,000 || Silver - 35,000 || Bronze - 20,000 |o-----------------oRequirements:1) Break into the enemy fortress and defeat the leader. There is a catapult that you can use off to the side to break the gate or fire at an enemy. I would recommend choosing the Gladius to start off with. At the beginning run up to the mud pool and grab the hidden rock in the middle. Make your way to the catapult and launch a rock at the gate. Grab another rock from the mud pool on the left and walk up to the big guy with the Halberd and throw it at him. This will make him drop his Halberd. Grab the Halberd and chop off his arms. Grab one of the rocks and make your way back to the catapult once again and try to hit the archer at the top. Dispose of the gladiator to the right as well and make your way through the gate. One of the first two gladiators will have the key to the locked gate off to the side. Defeat him and use the key that he drops on the keyhole on the side of the wall beside the gate to unlock it. There is a piece of meat lying on the ground on the other side. Soon some gladiators with Spears will come through the door after you. This is where things can get ugly. Try to steal one of their Spears or throw a rock at them to make them drop it. Keep the Spears away from them and defeat them quickly. Use a straggling gladiator as a shield if you must. Climb the ladder and defeat the female gladiator if you haven't gotten rid of her yet. If she has run out of arrows she will try to climb down the ladder and retrieve a weapon. Try to block her off from the ladder. Climb down the ladder on the other side and a gladiator with a Spear will be blocking your path. He always tries to throw his Spear at you. Grab the Spear from the ground after he throws it and finish him off with it. At the top of the next ladder will be the leader. This is not an ordinary female gladiator - she will hardly ever tire or weaken. Chopping off her arm will not really do any good as she will only use a one-handed weapon anyway and her kicks are her most deadly attacks. Be careful about attacking her when she is on the ground since she will sometimes do a spinning kick as she gets up. If she tries to run and get a weapon from near the beginning wait for her to come back and knock her off the ladder as she makes her way back toward you. Gold Ranking StrategyThis is a hard one to get a gold ranking in. You will have to perform every Salvo you can think of for a gold on this one. Since the weapons are limited to a Halberd. Gladius and Spear for the most part that can be a little hard. If you manage to chop off a head with the Halberd at any time then by all means pick it up and appeal to the crowd with it. Start the battle with either the bow or with no weapon. If you start with the bow then get on the left side of the fortress and shoot the big guy near the gate until you run out. Grab the rock from the middle mud pool and throw it at him and grab his Halberd when he drops it. Cut off an arm and stomp him while he's on the ground. Hit him with some rocks a few more times to gain another Salvo. After he's gone carry a rock to the catapult and destroy the gate. Try to find another rock and aim for the archer up above and launch the rock at her. When the gladiators with Spears enter the arena try to weaken one of the other gladiators and use him as a human shield. Steal one of the Spears and weaken the gladiators. Try to finish each one of them off with something different. Throw a weapon suplex stab them with a Gladius or cut them half with a Halberd. Make sure to do at least one Tornado Maximus with the Halberd as well. Knock either the archer or the leader off of a ladder while they climb up or down for an extra Salvo. If you do not have over 50,000 Salvos by the time you climb the first ladder you will have a very difficult time achieving a gold ranking in this battle. Stun the leader at the end and drag her to the ladder (put your back to the ladder) and suplex her off for a good bit of points. Last but not least throw a weapon at the audience.
