Redguard Hints
Movement Tips
While movement is pretty straightforward in Redguard, there are some sticky spots that ~should be~ easy but are not. For instance, sometimes you cannot climb a simple set of stairs or jump off of something while in "Walk" mode. (Your TAB key toggles the Walk/Run mode.)
My suggestion is to play the entire game in the "Walk" mode until it becomes necessary to run. In those places, hold down the SHIFT key to run. If you find it awkward pressing SHIFT while performing another action, (i.e. jumping off of a rope) press the TAB key to turn on the "Run" mode until your task is completed.
You'll do a lot of jumping and climbing in Redguard. Remember that Cyrus can hang onto ledges. If you want to drop down, turn around and walk backwards until he falls. He will hang on. From there you can move sideways, hand over hand, and drop down or pull up to a new location.
Practice changing your point of view by holding down the ALT keyboard key and using the arrow keys. Sometimes this is the only way to see an important clue or location.
