Avatar: The Last Airbender Hints II (PS2)

Avatar: The Last Airbender takes the player to a fantasy world where he can meet humans, fantastic animals and supernatural spirits. There are four main nations that make up the human part of the fantasy world - we have Water Tribes, an Earth Kingdom, the Air Nomads and a Fire Nation. Because of the fact that each is based upon the existence of one of the fundamental elements, the nations don't exactly see eye to eye on a variety of issues. However, inside each of them, "benders" are to be found, humans that have the ability to manipulate the basic element on which each society is based in a variety of forms.

In the game, the player can take control over four main characters: Aang, Katara, Haru and Sokka. The main adventure of the game involves the four characters working together to stop the evil Fire Nation from dominating their fantasy world. In what might seem like a Star Wars like twist, Aang is the only one of the four that can bring balance to the four elements as he battles his enemies, since he is the current Avatar, a form of the spirit that animates the entire planet.

Each of the characters is unique in the way it performs fighting moves and in what special abilities it can perform. As experience is gained by defeating enemies, more and more special abilities become available, together with a wide array of loot drops, like armor, healing potions, accessories (some of which are also enchanted).

The main enemies are machines and Firebenders, as seen on the television show on which the game is based.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Defeating the Maker's last machine

The best strategy is to wait for the machine to finish its own attack move and then attack its sides.

Defeating the prison guard

At first, he will shoot fire balls at you and you should keep moving left and right, getting closer to him. When you get close enough, he will stop and try to hit you with his weapon. Take a few steps back and let him try to hit you. Counter him with an attack. Do this repeatedly until he eventually kneels down.

Then, hit him as many times as possible as he will not fight back. As he gets up, repeat the same process until there is a short intermission sequence. He will then use attacks such as curling up in a ball and swinging his bat in a figure eight style on both sides. Wait until he is done and hit him afterwards. In just a short while, you will defeat him.
