******************************************************************************* Walkthorugh for Astérix: Operation Getafix ******************************************************************************* === Map === D -- V1 -- V2 -- V3 -- W1 -- W2 -- W3 -- W4 -- W5 --------+ | | +-- C1 -- C2 -- C3 W6 -- W7 -- W8 -- W9 -- W10 -- W11 -+ D = druid's place; V = village; W = woods; C = Roman camp Points of interest: V1: House of Vitalstatistix/Abraracourcix, the village chief (starting screen) V2: Fulliautomatix/Cétautomatix (smith) and wine merchant V3: Ordralfabétix/Unhygienix's shop (fishmonger) W3: Holly (ingredient #2) W4: Roman soldier and mushrooms (ingredient #3) W5: Roman patrol (one soldier can be captured) W7: Strawberries (ingredient #4) W8: Mistletoe (ingredient #1) W9: Fortune teller with petroleum flask (ingredient #5) W11: Roman soldier C3: Centurion's tent with laurel (ingredient #6) === Speedrun === * Go always right till you reach W4. You will find a roman soldier: go next to him and use F1 to let him watch the sky, after a while he will get scared and flee * Proceed to C1. Use again F1 to scare the soldier. When he flees, quickly make it to the right side of the screen. This will only succeed if Asterix remains at the left of the guard during the "combat". Immediately after the soldier begins to flee, jump once or twice to reach the right border of the screen before a new soldier arrives. If you do not succeed, retry with the next guard. * Go to C3, and enter the tent on the right (it will be empty). Asterix will steal the laurel (ingredient #6) * Go always left till you reach D, and use ingredients #2, #3 and #6 to heal Panoramix/Getafix. You win! === Slow play === * Go to V3 and buy a fish * Go to V1 and enter the village chief's house * You will get a motion sequence, in which a fake fortune teller (actually a spy) will play his show. This will cost you the fish (hadn't you bought it, it would have costed an energy unit) * Go to V2 and buy a golden sickle (should partly preserve your health) and wine * Go to W7 and pick the strawberries (ingredient #4) * Go to W9. You can play dice with the diviner if you want, but it is not required, and might cost you health and items * Go to W10 and immediately return to W9. The diviner will now be gone, so you can jump on the barrel and take the oil flask (ingredient #5) * Go to W11. You will find a Roman soldier: go next to him and use F1 to let him watch the sky, after a while he will get scared and flee * Proceed to C1. Use again F1 to scare the soldier. When he flees, quickly make it to the right side of the screen. This will only succeed if Asterix remains at the left of the guard during the "combat". Immediately after the soldier begins to flee, jump once or twice to reach the right border of the screen before a new soldier arrives. If you do not succeed, retry with the next guard. * Go to C2. You can play dice with the Romans (safer than doing it with the diviner, as here you only risk losing money), but it is not required. * Go to C3 and enter the tent on the right. Asterix will meet the Roman centurion and barter the wine against the laurel (ingredient #6) * Go to D (always left), and use ingredients #1, #2 and #5. This will create an explosive mixture, which will fling the pot in the woods, trapping a member of the Roman patrol * Go to W4 and defeat the incoming Roman with the F1 move * Go to W5. There Asterix and Obelix will find the captured member of the Roman patrol, and they will automatically bring him to D * Use ingredients #2, #3 and #6 to create the right potion. Have the Roman taste it, then give it to Getafix. You win! Note: if you want a even slower play, you can in any moment enter Vitalstatistix's house a second time. You will lose all your ingredients except for the oil, so you will have to gather them again in the woods.
