There are 3 different training exercises along with a sparring exercise that allows you to fight against a comnuter controlled oooonent. Each trainina exercise is designedto improve your skill in each of the thee combat moves: FEROCITY, CUNNING. andTOUGHNESS. To exit the training selection ~creens,.~ressthe MODE key.
After each repetition of an exercise, your dinosaur will show you a happy face (mouth open) if the exercise was
done correctly and a mad face (mouth closed) if it was not. Here is how each exercise works:
FEROCITY &
To increaseyour dinosaurs FEROCITY you must cultivate its natural aggression by chasingandcatching either a pig or a human. Your prey will appear in front of your dinosaur and you must rapidly pressthe key that corresponds with the direction the prey
. When you are close to the prey, press the ENTER key to catch it. So, for example, if your din0 appears facing to the left and a pig appears and runs to the left, quickly press the 4 arrow key until your din0 is close to the pig. Now press the ENTER key and watch your din0 use its'ferocity to attack the pig.
ESS &
To increase your dinosaur'sTOUGHNESS, your din0 must practice knocking down trees. Your dinosaur will appear facing a tree.
ernate between pressing the 4 Ib keys to make your din0 head-butt the tree. I f you hit the tree hard and often, it will break in two.
To increaseyour dinosaur'sCUNNING, you must train in the tail sweep exercise. Your din0 will be positioned with his back and tail facing you. The dino'sprey will appear from either the left or right side and will
owards the dinosaur. When the prey quickly pressthe b andthen 4 arrow key to do a tail sweep (only 1b key press and 14 key
press for the tail sweep). I f your timing is good, you will see the prey fly through the air. Remember, this exercise is all about timing and you must do the 4 Ib press at just the right time.
G&
This training exercise will allow you to fight against a randomly selected, computer controlled opponent. Each match consists of 9 rouncts. The first dinosaur to win 5 rounds wins the match. In each round, you have the chance to use one combat move:
FEROCITY MOVE Pressthe ENTER key
CUNNING MOVE Press the b arrow key TOUGHNESS MOVE Press the 4 arrow key.
There are 3 important points to consider when fighting and training:
Timing - Since each round consists of one move per dinosaur, choosing to move first or second plays an important part in your success. If you choose to move first your attack has a better chanceof success. However, if you move second, you have a chance of countering
vnllr nnnnnpntc attark
Move Selection - Each move has a counter move that will beat it. Knowing your enemy'smovesandthe correct counters can be your most devastating skill.
Skill Stats -The higher your scores are for each attack move (FEROCITY, CUNNING,TOUGHNESS),the more powerful your attack will be.
Train to increase these stats. Also note your best and weakest move so you may use this to your advantage.
Sometimesyour dinosaur gets out of control or becomes sluggish and lazy and needs some discipline. You can select this activity to discipline your dinosaur. This will raise its'DISCIPLINE score.
Discipliningyour dinosaur can makethe health go down so you must learn to balance your dinosaur'sneed for discipline with itstother needs. NOTE: I f you wish to terminate a dinosaur'straining, continuously discipline your dinosaur until the health dropsto 0 (at which point the dinosaur retires). You can then choose another dinosaur. This is especially useful when you are training 3 dinosaurs and would like to get rid of one so you may choose another. However, if your dinosaur dies, you will not be able to activate that particular dinosaur unless the unit is reset.
After frequent training your dinosaur may need a shower to clean up.
Fighting can be dirty work, and your dinosaur does not like to be overly dirty or bloody. When your dinosaur needs a cleaning, select this activity.
Sometimes the rigors of training can make your dinosaur sick or injured. When your dinosaur'sHEALTH gets low, a visit to the DOCTOR may provide a small boost.
The DOCTOR can onlv do so much for an unhealthy dinosaur and understandsthat the healingprocesstak& time. The DOCTOR may only wish to treat your dinosaur once a day. I f your dinosaurdoes not wish to go, butyou think it is necessary, press the ENTER button twice to force a visit. This may not be good for the dinosaur.
