There are many different
types of monsters:
humanoid, four legged,

weapon’s effectiveness
depends on the type of
monster. It also depends
on whether there are single
or multiple enemies. It is
beneficial to learn which
weapons are effective in
which situation as quickly as
possible.
Find each monster's weak
point to ensure victory. The
monster's weak point is the
area when the weapon
crosshairs turn red.
During the game, Laura will
encounter bosses at
important points in the story.
These ‘Boss’monsters will
take little to no damage if not

When the / Button
symbols displayed on-screen
turn red, this indicates the
monster is attacking from
off-screen.

will receive experience
points. The amount of points
received is based upon the
difficulty of the battle. The

will be displayed on the
Experience Screen. Press
