Not every enemy, animal or person has this option, but you can use Aiden to possess people and take control of them (they're highlighted in red). Perhaps you'd rather use a more sneaky technique to get through a level, instead of going in aggressively. Let's just say it's nice to have a companion watch your back. Once you're in control of Aiden, you can brush off and/or destroy the entities by using his interactive orb sequence. When this occurs, switch to Aiden immediately. Throughout the game, you'll encounter evil entities that can physically threaten and snatch Jodie. Jodie isn't capable of fighting ghosts, demons or spirits, but Aiden is a whole other matter. Simply switch to Aiden and create a new path for her. For instance, say you're trapped in a building and need to escape, but the window isn't breakable from Jodie's own hands. His strength can get her out of sticky situations. It's been noted already, but Aiden is much more powerful than Jodie. Remember, any objects highlighted in blue can be interacted with – you never know how it might help Jodie. Depending on the event, this could either scare people off or distract them. You can rattle books on the shelf, throw a table at enemies and even smash through certain walls. Staring into a mirror in the bathroom sounds fun, but how much cooler would it be to move objects with supernatural power? That's where Aiden comes into play. Although it's fun to knock out your opponents, we'd rather have Aiden quickly dismiss these threats, making it easier to get around quietly. These quick-time events are not always easy one wrong direction and you'll sustain injury. Combat is fast-paced and keeps your hands busy on the controller. We've covered how well Jodie can defend herself in combat, but unlike Aiden, she needs to deal with foes that block her path if they reach her. Frequently, Jodie's movement can be difficult to judge or hard to see. This can create a problem, especially when trying to escape enemies. This is unfortunate, because several scenarios are fast-paced pressing the wrong button can easily knock you off your feet. When playing as Jodie, not only are hazardous surroundings a threat, but also simple objects like a log. If there seems to be a dead end, switch to Aiden instead. Since several of the chapters include wrecked areas, you'll call Aiden for assistance more often than not. Many heavy objects can only be maneuvered by Aiden some are far too heavy or too hot for Jodie. Jodie is a tough gal, but that doesn't mean she's powerful like The Hulk. Additionally, if she sustains damage from falling or an attack, she'll move slower and need attention to her wounds. For instance, a fire may block her path there's no way around it without the help of Aiden or searching for another route. Certain threats can injure or prevent her from navigating through passageways. Not only that, but you may also trigger additional scenes, even ones that make you jump out of your seat. Although this is usually for entertainment purposes, you may find out more information in the chapter by interacting with things. For example, you can play with a toy or look in a mirror. With Jodie, you can mess with a bunch of stuff. Interactive objects are marked as a white circle when playing as Jodie. We recommend using this tactic often so you don't have to deal with multiple enemies at once when the opportunity is available.īoth characters can interact with different objects within the environment. With her, you have the ability to take a stealthy approach you can hide behind walls, peak around corners and assassinate enemies silently without using a weapon. This teaches her combat skills and espionage tactics. When you play through the game as Jodie, you'll stumble across CIA training. Instead, use her kung-fu tactics and lay the smack down. You are not depending on environments in these situations. She can dodge, evade or offensively strike foes that threaten her.
In most cases, this includes physical altercations with "normal" beings, such as punks on the streets or drunks at a bar. Jodie can hold her own and defend herself, sometimes without the help of her inner-entity, Aiden. Although there's no wrong way to advance in this game, Jodie tends to lean towards the safer route. With Jodie, you can be truthful, lie or evade answers. Maximizing these options has a huge impact on the outcome of each chapter. More specifically, it allows you to make decisions. This has a tendency to open new options for you. Who can blame her? That said, even with all her emotional distresses, you can use her to talk to other characters.
