#1# [Brief Info of Game and Guide]
---
An Assassin in Orlandes is a digital gamebook that can be very cruel to
newcomers of the genre. Simply put, these kinds of games require trial and
error, plenty of restarting, and putting together choice outcomes like a puzzle
to find the most optimal route.
This guide is intended to both provide hints for the explorers out there, as
well as provide a full guide of everything contained in the game. It's highly
recommended that you stick with the hints alone the first time you play!
The actual guide is more useful for the achievements, and using the guide
before you've reached the true ending by yourself will cause you to miss out on
a lot of the gameplay and storyline. Part of the fun actually comes from
failing, witnessing the crazy things that occur when everything goes wrong,
and knowing how to prevent that from happening the next time you play.
You should also remember that the game itself has a bookmark feature which will
help you solve the gamebook yourself without the need for a guide. Recent
versions of the game have several difficulty levels, giving you the option of
starting with 10 bookmarks, but disabling the cheat unlockable if you beat the
game on those settings. Feel free to use these modes to experiment with
routes, then when you have a plan, go for it in classic mode!
Now, some important notes about the guide itself!
I'll be using these abbreviations throughout the rest of the FAQ:
VIT = Vitality
OFF = Offense
DEF = Defence
Bad End = A bad ending where the plot is not resolved
True End = Winning the game and getting the best ending
Page numbers will not be listed (as they have no tangible use in a digital
gamebook), and instead, I'll title each 'room' with a vague description, which
will look something like this:
EGG SHAPED ROOM: Find a pony.
Ride the pony: Perform a fitness check.
Success: Get 'A Pony', Go to FLOWERY MEADOWS.
Fail: -2 VIT, Go to LESS INTERESTING ROOM.
Ignore the pony: Go to LESS INTERESTING ROOM.
If there is an enemy to fight, their statistics will be listed in brackets
after their name, in the same order as the game shows them.
FLOWERY MEADOWS:
Fight Bees (3/2/1)
Win: Go to LESS INTERESTING ROOM.
This would mean that the enemy 'Bees' have 3 VIT, 2 OFF, and 1 DEF.
There's no 'Lose:' paths listed for enemies, because losing to an enemy will
always lead to a description of how the enemy beat you followed by a Bad End.
I'm sure you'll get the hang of things!

#2# [General Hints (Spoiler-Free)]
---
Take Notes
----------
You want to know the reason why I decided to put together a guide for a
gamebook? It's because this game gave me an excuse to sit down with gel pens
and notepads and jot down all the outcomes, and by the end of the game, I had
mapped out so many alternate paths that I knew the entire game by memory!
You should try it too! Even if you don't have any real notepads handy, just
fire up your computer equivalent and type things to help you remember what
happens when you choose certain options.
You only need to note down 'Go North = +3 gold, Go to Puffin Enclosure' once,
and then when you reach that point next time, you'll know exactly where you've
been, what items you'll get, and what new things to try.
Dice Nudging
------------
When rolling dice, you can either tap or 'shake' to roll. If you see results
you don't want, give your iDevice a quick shake, and you should be able to get
a free re-roll! You can only 're-roll' once in most cases though, so it's not
a guaranteed cheat, but it certainly gives you a higher chance.
Personally speaking, I tend to play on an iPad on my desk with dice roll
animations turned off for speed, so nudging isn't really convenient for me...
but hey, it's certainly something that might help you!
Achievement/Art Tips
--------------------
All of the achievements in the game are pretty self-explanatory, but if you
can't figure out how to reach a particular location/character, just try
different routes or, failing that, look up the name of the location or
character in the full path guide after you've beaten the game at least once.
The only vague art description is for the 'Nurrothian Mercs', who can be found
in one of the taverns in Orlandes.
Fitness Tips
------------
When you're first playing the game, and enjoying the storyline and curiosities,
rolling a low fitness score can still be fun to play with. Failing fitness
checks can often lead to new routes and puzzle opportunities which can easily
be missed if you're playing with a very high fitness score (such as Novice
mode). A low fitness can lead to a lot of enjoyable side-quests to experiment
with!
However! If you've played the game long enough to know exactly how to get to
the true ending in the best possible way, there is absolutely no reason to play
with a fitness of anything lower than 12 (the maximum). If you just need to
hit the ending, keep re-rolling a character until you get that maximum fitness!
At the very end of the game, the weapons and armour can require you to have a
high fitness to even use them, and battles will require you to roll fitness
just to get the chance to damage enemies.
In short, any fitness will do when playing for fun and exploration!
However, the best possible fitness is near-necessary to survive reaching the
true ending.
Always Try Different Routes!
----------------------------
It can be easy for someone new to gamebooks to be misled into sticking to 'bad
routes' every time they play, and never trying the other (possibly better)
choices.
Here's an extra silly hypothetical example!:
"You're reading in the study hoping to find some clues, when all of a sudden, a
giant ogre casually balancing four nuclear bombs on his head bursts through the
door! Do you: A) Hide in the cupboard? Or do you: B) Ready your weapon?"
A new player may naturally decide to hide in the cupboard, where it may say:
"The ogre passes by without a hassle. Inside the cupboard, you find a really
pretty pink cake (+10 VIT), a box of matches, a pair of new shoes (2 DEF), and
a secret passage leading to the next area."
Awesome! Right? The player clearly made the correct choice there! It would
have been stupid to try and attack that ogre, so every time you play the game,
you should ALWAYS hide in the cupboard! ...Unfortunately, the truth is, the
other option might have actually said:
"The ogre notices your weapon and frowns. 'How will you get out of here alive
with that pitiful thing? You should take my spare shotgun. Oh, and here's a
key I found. I don't know what it's for, but I hear it's for the locked door
right at the end of the game.' After taking the shotgun (6 OFF) and key, you
bid the ogre farewell and head out the door on the opposite side."
Sure, the matches might have come in handy for a single fitness check somewhere
later in the game, but they're no match for the key and shotgun. It always
pays to experiment with different routes, no matter how counter-intuitive they
might seem.

#3# [FAQs - Solving common problems! (Spoilers)]
---
Q: Is there any use in the '2 OFF' and '2 DEF' equipment, considering you
start with these stats anyway?
A: Unless that item is magical-but-unappraised, then no, there's no tangible
use. The only difference it will change is the equipepd item description
in your inventory.
Q: Where can I find a shield?
A: In this first Gamebook Adventures title, there are no shields in the game.
It's listed in the inventory screen as the game has been updated to the
engine used in later Gamebook Adventure titles.
Q: In the Hall of Records, how do I obtain both the victim's name and the
assassin's name and whereabouts?
A: Simply put, you can't. In all versions up to V2.1, this 'false choice' was
left in the game as a red herring to trick players. In future versions,
this will reportedly be changed so that you only need either the victim's
name, OR the assassin's name and whereabouts, at which point you will be
directed to the Lower Storey of the Hall of Records.
Q: What is the Silver Statue of Haradornes all about?
A: It's part of Orlandes mythology, and plays a part in Gamebook Adventures 2:
Siege of the Necromancer'. Haradornes is a protective spirit in the form of
a three-headed red dragon, that was once commonly worshipped. It has no
use in the game, but adds a little to the lore of Orlandes!
Q: What is the Necklace used for?
A: Nothing at all! It's another red herring in the game, a cheap marketplace
trinket that serves no purpose other than conning tourists out of a couple
of gold coins. Personally speaking, I quite like the idea of the main
protagonist running around wearing a pretty necklace, but your imagination
may vary.
Q: Is there any way to avoid the trap in the ravine?
A: The ravine is the first point in the game where you're forced to roll a
fitness check with no other option, and failing that fitness check will
result in a bad end. It's entirely luck-based.
