Dwingvatt and Group Control

[twotonkoala]

I've got a couple questions/help requests for you guys

1. I'm having a hell of a time beating the Dwingvatt missions. The guy just has no range of attack, and versus the big guys in the second mission; any hits on ol' Dwingy gets whacked pretty good. Any hints for him? I know the difficulty levels change the more you lose, but I was hoping for some hints as to what moves you guys have found effective, or any strategies for the bosses.

2. The group control is a bit confusing to me; I know that you can press RB and LB to have them stop or follow, but how do you tell them to attack/defend? I know it's the d-pad, but do you have to hold RB and up at the same time to get them to attack? Or do you just run up and press up on the D-pad? I know they don't make much of a difference, but I'm going to toy with the archers being my two groups and have them stand back and just fire, just haven't had much luck on controlling them.

Thanks in advance.

For most characters, your best bet is to always use as long of combos as possible. Look up his combos in his moves list, and just keep button-mashing a good long combo. And then try and get a good blue and/or red power attack for bosses that give you trouble. Also, it is good to let the NPCs help distract the bosses...and then you can sneak up behind them and lay a combo on them.

i am 90% positive, from memory, that pushing UP on the d-pad makes them attack & DOWN on the d-pad makes them defend. you can also look these up if you are unsure. or play the first mission and it will remind you.

I beat all the Dwingvatt missions by just using the X attack. If it is a big guy, get behind him and be patient. Attack once and then circle if he turns on you. Generally you can also use your dash to retreat, I don't think you have time issues on any of the Dwingvatt missions. The only characters I found worth using anything other than the X attack were the priest and the magician (been long enough I forgot their names! LOL!) and then Inphyy at the final mission.

Cool, thanks for the help guys.

I had just one more quick question:

"i am 90% positive, from memory, that pushing UP on the d-pad makes them attack & DOWN on the d-pad makes them defend. you can also look these up if you are unsure. or play the first mission and it will remind you."

Do you have to press up or down on the d-pad while holding the RB or LB? Or just press up or down at any ol' time?

just push it anytime by itself and you should hear them all yell something to acknowledge that it worked. "Attack!", "Fall Back!", etc...

Right on (sorry, I am using a VGA adapter right now so I don't have sound, couldn't hear what they were yelling :) )

Many thanks Souljah.
