CONAN FAQ

Bosses

Beating the Sand Dragon

In the first stage, deplete the Sand Dragon’s health, and a cut scene plays of Conan being thrown on top of the roof. Continue along the rooftops to the next boss fight area.

In the second stage, Conan will find himself on a rooftop fighting the Sand Dragon. Deplete his health, and a cut scene will play with the Sand Dragon throwing Conan inside a building. Defeat all the enemies inside the building, climb out of the building and travel along the scaffolding to the next boss stage area.

In the third stage, deplete the Sand Dragon’s health, and another cut scene plays with Conan jumping on the unfinished statue. Climb to the top of the statue.

In the final stage, look around the area for things that may be breakable for an advantage over the Sand Dragon. Once completed, deplete the Sand Dragon’s health and look for any interactive instruments that may aid in the fight with the Sand Dragon. Once the interaction is completed, the final cut scene will play. Good job!

Gamer Tips:

Dodging does wonders rather than just blocking in each stage except the final stage. Time the Sand Dragon’s attacks, dodge and then counter attack. In the final stage, location is crucial; it will determine which attack the Sand Dragon does. Awareness of the surrounding environment helps make the fight easier.

Beating the Giant Squid

In the first stage, the Squid will slam his tentacles at Conan. Avoid the tentacles and then attack them (this will deplete the Squid’s health). After depleting his health, the Squid will get angry and try to pull the mast to sink the ship. Hurry and attack the tentacle before time runs out.

In the second stage, the Squid will convert Conan’s crewman into black goo zombies. Attack the tentacles as they grab a crewman. Make sure Conan attacks them before they turn into zombies. Once Conan depletes the Squid’s health, it will again grab the mast. Attack the tentacle to enter the next stage.

In the third stage, the Squid will do a combo of both slamming tentacles and converting the crewmen. Attack the tentacles and deplete the Squid’s health. The Squid will then grab the mast once more, and Conan must attack the tentacle as fast as possible. A cut scene will play of the Squid getting onto the deck.

In the final stage, Conan must attack the Squid and deplete his health. Once he depletes the Squid’s health, the final cut scene plays. Good job!

Gamer Tips:

There are areas of the boat that can protect Conan from the tentacle slams. Don’t let the Squid make too many zombies as they will overwhelm Conan in the end. Time the Squid’s attack and counterattack. It is also nice to use the harpoons in this area if Conan has mastered the Two Handed Weapon tree to maximize attack power, but it is not necessary to have harpoons to beat the Squid.

Beating Graven

In Melee Stage one, deplete Graven’s health while staying near the wheel to the right when the stage begins. After depleting the health bar, complete the mini-game.

In Tentacle Stage one, start turning the wheel until one of the tentacles gets close by. Jump over the tentacles while avoiding the zombies. If necessary, run away from the wheel to avoid the zombies. Eventually a large gap will appear in between the tentacles. Go back to the wheel and continue turning it. Repeat these steps until the wheel has been completely turned and triggers a cut scene.

In Melee Stage two, deplete Graven’s health. After depleting the health bar, complete the mini-game.

In Tentacle Stage two, start turning the wheel until one of the tentacles gets close by. Jump over the tentacles while avoiding the zombies. If necessary, run away from the wheel to avoid the zombies. Eventually a large gap will appear in between the tentacles. Go back to the wheel and continue turning it. Repeat these steps until the wheel has been completely turned and triggers a cut scene.

In Melee Stage three, deplete Graven’s health. After depleting the health bar, complete the mini-game.

In Tentacle Stage three, start turning the wheel until one of the tentacles gets close by. Jump over the tentacles while avoiding the zombies. If necessary, run away from the wheel to avoid the zombies. Eventually a large gap will appear in between the tentacles. Go back to the wheel and continue turning it. Repeat these steps until the wheel has been completely turned and triggers a cut scene.

Gamer Tips:

As Conan proceeds through the stages, the wheels unlock in a counterclockwise fashion after he defeats each melee stage. Try to position Conan near the next wheel when he’s about to finish off Graven in one of these melee stages.

Tentacles can’t harm Conan while he is grappling with a zombie.

When grappling with a zombie, try to throw it into a group of zombies so Conan can simultaneously knock down a few of them to buy himself some more time.

During the tentacle stages, Conan may need to run a full circle around the arena, but if timed properly, the tentacle gap will occur when he returns to the wheel and the zombies will be too far behind to interrupt.

Graven himself can’t be directly harmed by Conan during the tentacle stages.

When jumping to avoid tentacles, make sure to tap the jump button to get a smaller jump. Holding down the jump button will leave Conan up in the air longer and more vulnerable to the second row of tentacles.

During the melee stages watch for the moment when Graven starts to bend over. When that happens, make sure you immediately jump so as to avoid the goo hand coming from below.

During the melee stages, Graven will end most of his combos with a sweep attack. During the last melee stage, this sweep attack must be dodged – it cannot be blocked.

When Graven’s health is getting low in the melee stages, don’t button mash while trying to finish him off. If a player button mashes at this point, some of the button presses may carry over to the mini-game, causing Conan to fail and start over.

Helpful Gameplay Tips:

The Jump in Midnight Raid

In the level Midnight Raid, the jump that helps Conan progress past the chasm is very difficult for many gamers. The best thing to do is remove the boulder from the area by picking it up and throwing it. After that, players have two techniques to choose from to make the jump to the mantle on the right side.

The two techniques on how to grab the mantle are:

1. The first technique is to have Conan stand very close to the wall on the same side as the mantle. Run toward the mantle and press the jump button right before the ledge. Conan will grab the mantle. At times, Conan will be able to grab the top mantle and bypass the scramble.

2. The second technique is to be at a diagonal angle to the mantle. Run forward and then jump when Conan is just before the ledge. Nudge the directional stick toward the wall a little to ensure Conan will grab the ledge.

How to unlock cheats and use them

The only way to unlock all the cheats is to play the game in Normal, Hard or King Mode. Once players unlock a cheat, they should go the Main Menu, select Extras, select Unlockables, select Cheats and then select any cheat (or cheats) they have unlocked. Go back to the Main Menu and start a New Game, selecting any difficulty. The cheat(s) should now be available in game.
