(This will be updated one level at a time, probably one day or so at a time. Last Update: 2/10/12)

As a note before we start here, the GI community and Staff have pretty much given this game an average score of around 8.25. Meanwhile, IGN has given it a 4.0 and various other gaming sites and sources' reviews vary. thus, beware- this game is subject to change in experience depending on what type of gamer you are and what games you enjoy. I myself would've given it somewhere between a 6.5 and a 7.25... You've been warned. Also, this will be a straight-forward through and through walkthrough, so I will spare you any details on the game.

Area 1: Cyprus

You begin in an area with three guards. Once you've killed them, head outside to battle some more guards. Having defeated all of the grunts here, follow the path to and through the gate. Once through the gates and a ways down the path, you'll be beset upon by an ambushing group of guards- kill them and replenish your health if need be. Also, be on the lookout for any secrets throughout the game- there are many few and far between.

Continuing down the path, kill some more terribly unfortunate guards as you wait for the triggered door to open up. Once open, head inside to view a cutscene. Open up the chest and head out back through another gate. Following the linear path, kill the guards shooting arrows as well as the three on foot. Loot the area for any more precious secrets or surprises.

Follow some guards down the path towards the ancient ruins of a colosseum. You'll be attacked by some more guards at this point. Break their shields and make mince meat of them as some more come to join in the fun. Once you've replenished your health- head past the fallen pillars to continue.

As you head up the path, jump the barrier and take out the arrow toting guards as well as the battle happy grunts. Go through the wall, then head towards the cliff face next. Kill a few more guards and eat some food for added measure. Follow the path to a slightly bulkier mini-boss mercenary and his nasty henchmen who are eagerly looking forward to a skirmish with you.

As you scuffle, be sure to block the leader's ill-timed attacks and retaliate with your own counters. Once you defeat the leader, you can receive an achievement/award entitled 'The Hero of Cyprus'. It's pretty self explanatory on how to receive this of course. Just win the battle. Once the cutscene for the end of the level ends, assuming you weren't a complete noob- you'll have earned the 'Just a Flesh wound' achievement/award for not losing any more than one health orb, or health bar.

Area 2: The Misty Forest

Following the compass arrow through the woods and to a path and cutscene, continue following the paths until you encounter arrows being launched from across the other side of a gap. Use your shield to block the incoming projectiles. Keep the shield up so as not to become a new sheath for all of those arrows. Watch out for more as you cross a bridge and use the tracking skills of yours to uncover some hidden footprints in some bushes.

After crossing the bridge kill the attacking noobs and eat the food if your health dropped at all. Open up the chest to get a perk-like boon that gifts you with more accuracy and power to your attacks as well as a damage upgrade. Following the path once more, continue on towards a cottage and cutscene. After this turn back towards the cottage and open up the chest by the downed tree.

Continue down the path, over a bridge, and prepare to encounter some frenzied dogs. Once you've reached the fork in the path, turn right and follow it along by the shack to find a hidden treasure chest. It should be by a pile of logs and firewood. Return back to the fork and follow it to a tavern, then enter it, wait for a cutscene to end, and follow the trail of mysterious footprints until you encounter yet another cutscene. Open another chest, and follow the path yet again up a hill and follow the set of footprints until you encounter a 'Beast'.

You can earn the 'Beast Slayer' achievement/award once the monster finally succumbs to your attacks. Be sure to scour the trees and bushes for extra health and food if you are in need of revival. Head up the path until you are ambushed in a convenient little clearing. Follow the footsteps up the nearby hilltop path until you reach the building and head around back to unlock another treasure chest.

Following the path back down, be on the lookout for many bear traps in the area- as well as any marauders or their savage canines. If you save the AI or your coop partner from an attacking dog before it can deal much damage, you will receive the 'Down Boy!' achievement/award. Staying on the path and following it back to the tavern, sit through another cutscene before chasing after some guards and hacking them to pieces.

Follow the footsteps until you enter a cemetery, then fight off the droves of dogs and examine the dead Templar knight's remains.Walk back out of the cemetery and head due North. After awhile, you will come to a dock and cutscene that ends the current stage.
