The game itself is very short, around 10-20 minutes for a full playthough. With the added content, the game takes about 6 hours or so start to finish. Luckily there is excellent replay value, and it should keep you occupied for some time. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ^ Controls/Combat [IB1]^ <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< The controls are pretty self-explanitory, since the game forces you to complete a tutorial at the beginning. HUD Controls ------------ -At the top of the screen is a small pause button. Pressing it at any time will allow you access your inventory, shop at the store, view achievements/leaderboards, invert the look axis, start back at bloodline 1, or completely reset your character. -Pausing the game during combat causes a "Restart Battle" button near the bottom of the screen. This button is very useful when you are fighting the God King, because losing to him has a very heavy price (you have to start back at the beginning of the castle on a new bloodline). -There is a small ">>" that will appear in the lower right hand corner during cutscenes. Holding this will put the cutscene on fast forward (useful after you've already seen all the cutscenes). -Simply drag your finger around the screen when not in combat to move the camera angle. -Tapping the "!" in the bottom right corner before a battle will reveal the enemy's level and resistances. If the enemy is resistant to something, don't even bother using that type of magic since it will be useless. Combat Controls [C1] -------------------- In Infinity Blade, you cannot simply slash an enemy to death like you could in Zelda. If you try this, you will inflict 1/4 of the normal damage you deal to the enemy and probably lose some HP in the process. The enemy must be opened up for an attack before you can inflict any major damage. This is accomplished in one of 5 principle ways: Dodge, Block, Parry, Super, and Stab. Magic can also be used to inflict damage, but using it does not open the enemy up for an attack. Dodge: ====== Dodge is my favorite way of opening an enemy for attack. During combat, there will always be two directional arrows in the lower left/right corners. Pressing one of these will cause your character to dodge either to the left or right. A good rule of thumb is to always dodge *toward* the incoming sword. If the sword is coming in from the right, dodge right. Now, as the enemies get more difficult, they'll start pulling off more complex swings. Sometimes you'll have to dodge toward the attack, sometimes away, and sometimes it doesn't matter which direction you must dodge. Note that punches *cannot* be dodged. After dodging several times in a row (and sometimes after only one dodge), the words "Dodge Break!!" will appear on the screen, and the enemy will be open for attack. Block: ====== On the bottom of the screen in the middle is a small shield icon with a number in it. The number represents the HP of your shield. When it hits zero, you can no longer block. The Shield HP replenishes after each battle. At first, enemy attacks only take 1 or 2 HP from your shield, but as the enemies get progressively harder, the amount they take from your shield grows. To open up an enemy using block, simply hold down the block icon until the words "Block Break!!" appear on the screen, and the enemy will be open for attack. Be careful about cowering behing your shield, though, because sometimes the enemy can break your block with a particularly powerful attack. I recommend sticking to dodges for the most part, and only using block when the enemy is about to punch you. Parry: ====== Parry is the most difficult way of opening the enemy for attack. Basically, you just slash your sword in the incoming direction of the enemy sword. Sometimes the words "Parry Break!!" will appear, and sometimes "Tap!!" will appear. If "Tap!!" appears, simply tap the screen repeatedly until "Parry Break!!" appears. As the enemies grow more difficult, it becomes harder and harder to predict where they will slash, thus complicating parry. Parry is the most difficult to master, but also the most rewarding: sometimes parries open the enemies for stabs, and parry breaks are also the longest of the 3 breaks, allowing bigger combos. Super: ====== In the left hand corner is the "Super" icon, which slowly fills as you take damage or swing your sword. Pressing this icon will interrupt the enemy no matter what they are doing, and completely open them up for a good 5 seconds. This is extremely useful, and a good battle-finisher. The time frame is large enough to pull off Huge, Mega, and even Ultra Hits (see Combo section). Magic [C2]: =========== Magic can either be extremely powerful, or completely useless, depending on the resistances of an enemy. In the later bloodlines, it seems almost all the enemies are resistant to offensive magic (especially the God King). If an enemy is resistant, the spell will only do 1 point of damage for every magic stat you have, which sucks. You can view what types of magic the enemy is resistant to by tapping the "!" button in the lower right corner before starting the battle. These are the 8 types of magic with their associated drawing symbols: Fire: O Effect: Inflict Fire Damage _ Ice: | Effect: Inflict Ice Damage Shock: /_ / Effect: Inflict Shock Damage and Shock Ailment Poison: \ / X /_\ Effect: Inflict Poison Damage and Poison Ailment Heal: |_| Effect: Heal Player HP _ Shield: | | Effect: Restore Shield HP Dark: \/ Effect: Inflict Dark Damage Light: /\ / _\ Effect: Inflict Light Damage In my opinion, Heal is the most useful magic. While casting any spell will interrupt the enemy, I find it humorous that the enemy will stop mid-swing to let me heal all of my HP back. The number after the magic spell indicates the magnitude of the spell. Ice 2 is twice as good as Ice 1, etc. Stab: ===== Every once in a while after an enemy charges at you or does a particularly violent swing, a blue circle will breifly appear on either his leg, side, or head. Quickly tapping the circle initiates a stab which will inflict 2x damage to the enemy and open him up for attack. Parries sometimes open the enemy for a stab. Combos [C3]: ============ There are 3 types of combos: Huge, Mega, and Ultra Hit. -Huge Hit is a 3-hit combo that is accomplished by alternating swipes with your sword (I usually do down-up-down). After the three swipes, your character will jump in the air and deliver a Huge Hit, which deals 2x damage. -Mega Hit is a 4-hit combo that is accomplished by alternating swipes with your sword ever two swipes (I usually do down-down-up-up). After the four swipes, your character will jump in the air and deliver a Mega Hit, which deals 2.5x damage. -Ultra Hit is a 5-hit combo that is accomplished by hitting every direction with your sword once and then a fifth slash (I usually do up-down-left-right-left). After the five slashes, your character will jump in the air and deliver an Ultra Hit, which deals 3x damage. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ^ Status/Level-up [IB2]^ <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Infinity Blade has a unique level-up system, in that you can only level up so long as you you have non-mastered equipment equipped. As your equipment gains experiance points, your character gains experiance points. Thus, if you master every item in the game, you can no longer level-up until you do a New Game+. XP == Experiance Points, or XP, are earned at the end of every battle. You'll get XP bonuses based on which items you have equipped (for example, the Ruin sword giveyou the XP+++ bonus), how much shield you have left at the end of the battle, how much damage you dealt, how fast you completed the battle (kill speed). Mastering a piece of equipment removes it's ability to help you level up, but also gives you +1 stat point. Leveling up gives you +2 stat points Stat points can be distributed among the following stats: Health (+60 HP for every stat) Attack (+1 damage for every stat) Shield (+1 HP to your current shield for every stat) Magic (+10 magic damage for every stat) You can also instantly master items using gold by tapping the '^' button in the XP box. ================================== Redistribute Your Stat Points [S0] ================================== Press the "( )" arrows on the lower right corner of the stats on the character page to redistrubute your stats. This is very useful when preparing for difficult battles such as with Ealoseum. It costs 100,000 gold the first time, but be careful, the price goes up exponentially after each restat: Cost ---- First time: 100,000 Second time: 250,000 Third time: 500,000 Fourth time: 1,000,000 Fifth time: 2,000,000 (it keeps doubling every time after that) Only restat if you absolutely have to. =================== New Game+ [S1] =================== With the addition of the Deathless Kings content, potentially infinite stats are obtainable. Simply defeat Zero Mech and do a New Game+, which resets the XP of all weapons and items yet retains all of your stat points. The XP you'll need to master weapons and items will also double. ============================ Negative Bloodlines [S2] ============================ If you lose the tutorial battle that the game puts you through any time you start a new character slot or restart to bloodline 1 and choose to "save and restart castle," then you will go to bloodline -1 with all of the dark gear. This dark gear is un-equipable in the negative bloodlines, but also extremely powerful. Beating or losing to the God King will decrease your bloodline further into the negative numbers. If you manage to reach bloodline -10, you unlock an achievement and you also unlock all of the dark gear in the store for use in positive bloodlines. Once the dark gear is unlocked in the store, you can choose to restart from bloodline 1 and start doing positive bloodlines. Once you purchase the dark gear in the positive bloodlines, you can unequip/re-equip it at will. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ^ Castle Walkthrough [IB4]^ <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< **Some spoilers ahead** The God King's castle has 19 total enemies. This guide will walk you through all possible routes. The (T) means there is a treasure chest in the area. I will take you through the game once, and any subsequent playthroughs are more or less identical than the previous playthrough; the only difference is that the enemies grow stronger and more difficult, the amount of gold in the sacks goes up, and the quality of the items in the chests go up. =============== The Throne Room =============== The game begins in the God King's throne room. This is a tutorial level, so just follow the instructions on screen. If you lose this battle and choose to "save and restart castle," then you will go to bloodline -1 with all of the dark gear (see Negative Bloodline section [S2]). ================================ The Cobblestone Bridge - Enemy 1 ================================ You will then start at the beginning of the God King's castle as the son of aforeslaughtered hero. Basically, this is how the game works: The God King's castle has 11 total enemies (3 of which are optional). After reaching the God King, you will either win or lose. After the God King's battle, you'll start back at the beginning of the castle again with all of your equipment and gold, and all the enemies will have leveled up. This is the "Bloodline" system. Just think of it as New Game+. Everytime you reach the end of the game, you start back at the beginning of the game with all of your stuff, and the bloodline number gets incremented once. I was able to master every single item by bloodline 16 (i.e. my 16th time through the castle). During the cutscene where our hero is walking down the road, keep an eye out for small brown bags that randomly appear throughout the castle and during cutscenes. Tapping them will give you gold. There are two in the opening scene: one in the branches of a tree, and one of them at the base of a tree. If you miss them, don't worry about it, there are tons of them. Either way, tap the enemy on the bridge to start the battle. This is another tutorial in which you will learn how to dodge. After killing the enemy, you can start slashing like crazy to get bonus XP. The post enemy screen will award you experiance points and gold based on how well you did. When you master an item, make sure to immediately replace it with another non-mastered item - otherwise you start losing potential XP. You can get more items at the store (press pause and tap "Character" to get to the store), or you can find them in chests. Now look to the left and right and collect any bags of gold or potions you see lying on the ground. Potions can be used outside of combat by tapping the lower left corner of the screen. They will restore all of your health, but you can only carry a maximum of 5. Don't worry about using them, there are about 2 potions per castle, per bloodline, so you'll probably max out your potions in a few playthroughs. =================================== The Castle Drawbridge (T) - Enemy 2 =================================== Tap the blue circle at the entrance to the castle to advance along the path. You'll be in front of a drawbridge with another enemy on it. Look to the left and right and collect any sacks of gold or potions just laying there. Tap the enemy to enter the second battle. This is another tutorial battle in which you'll learn how to parry. Just follow the instructions on screen to whoop the bad boy. After the battle, tap the treasure chest at the base of the tree at the bottom of the screen. Then, choose whether to enter the courtyard or to jump down the well. If you chose the well, jump down to Enemy 12. If not, go to Enemy 3. ======================= Balcony 1 (T) - Enemy 3 ======================= Once inside the courtyard, collect any gold you see, but do NOT engage the enemy in front of you. Instead, look to the right and tap the blue circle inside of the archway leading out to the balcony. During the opening cutscene, you'll see 1-2 bags of gold. Either grab them during the cutscene, or right after it. Time to kill to guard assigned to the chest. Just time your dodges and slash when it says "Dodge Break!!" After you whoop him, you'll automatically grab the chest and go back to the courtyard. ============================== Statue Courtyard (T) - Enemy 4 ============================== This battle is pretty straight forward. After the battle, grab any gold at the base of the pillars, and then look all the way to the far right (pan the camera) to find a treasure chest. Pan left again and tap the bridge to advance. ========================= The Long Bridge - Enemy 5 ========================= Keep an eye out for gold bags in the opening cutscene, and then get ready to whoop. Just use the techniques you've learned from the tutorials to win. After the battle, you can either tap the staircase or the big door. Grab any gold you see, and tap the big door (if you tapped the staircase, skip to enemy 7). ================================== Post-Bridge Big Door (T) - Enemy 6 ================================== You'll have to fight another huge enemy here (either a troll or golem). After you beat him, pan left to collect the treasure chest. You'll again have the choice between the door and staircase. Choose the staircase (if you chose the door, skip to enemy 9). ======================= The Staircase - Enemy 7 ======================= This battle is pretty easy. Just fight your way to the top of the stairs and send the enemy to his doom. Collect any gold you see, and tap the balcony (pan up and to the right). During the following cutscene, there is usually gold you can collect. ======================= Balcony 2 (T) - Enemy 8 ======================= On this balcony, there is a big door, and a chest guarded by an enemy. Grab the gold outside the balcony edge, and tap the enemy to fight him. After you beat him, you'll automatically collect the chest. Tap the big door to advance to the elevator room. ========================== The Elevator (T) - Enemy 9 ========================== You'll have to fight another large enemy here (either a troll or golem). Tap the pit to summon the elevator and the enemy. After you beat him, tap the treasure chest to the right of the elevator to collect it. If you wish to attempt fighting the Deathless Kings, tap the bottom of the staicase. Otherwise tap the elevator. If you tapped the bottom of the staircase, jump to "The Infinity Blade Altar." ========================== The Throne Room - Enemy 10 ========================== Does this cutscene look familiar? It should, looks like you've made it back to the God King. During the cutscene there's usually some gold bags stacked behind the elevator that you can grab. Approach The Dark Knight, and teach him a lesson. If you can, save your magic and super for the God King himself. Just dodge plenty, and you should be able to hack him to pieces. =========================== The God King (T) - Enemy 11 Unlocks: The Infinity Blade =========================== Before fighting the God King, use a potion on yourself and tap the treasure chest in front of you. The God King will be much harder than anything you've previously fought, so prepare to get whooped. Start the battle with the God King. *Important - If you lose, tap the home button and manually exit the program. When you start up Infinity Blade again, you'll be in front of the God King.* If you manage to take about 1/3 of the God King's life away, he'll knock your sword out of your hand and offers you the Darth Vader choice - to turn to the dark side and join him (he even holds up his fist in defiance, Darth Vader style). If you havn't done it before, choose to join him. You'll see a nice little cutscene, and then the credits will roll. After the credits, you'll be back in front of the God King again, and you can start the battle over. This time, when you get to the choice, choose to grab your sword instead. Fight until you take away another 1/3 of his life, and he'll knock you into the open area where you fought The Dark Knight. This is the last portion of the battle, so give it all you've got. Use up your magic and your super if you haven't done so already, and use up the rest of your blocks. If you're lucky, you'll be able to beat him and get the true ending (although he is very difficult the first time through). Beating him yields a lot of gold, XP, and rare items. Also, The Infinity Blade will also be unlocked in the store for your to buy. **Note that the God King starts at level 50, and then grows up 50 levels each time you beat him. Thus, he will stay at level 50 until you are strong enough to beat him, at which point he will be level 100 on the next playthrough, etc. ================== Dungeon - Enemy 12 ================== This area sometimes has bags of gold in the cells. The first enemy is a golem-type enemy. After defeating it, the next enemy will appear right in front of you. ====================== Dungeon (T) - Enemy 13 ====================== Before fighting the next enemy, pan to the right and open the chest. The enemy in this area dual-wields swords, so be careful. Tap the door after you finish the battle. ======================== The Infinity Blade Altar ======================== If you have the infinity blade, tap the altar and it will unlock 3 of the surrounding doors. These lead to the Deathless Kings. If you do not have the Infinity Blade, tap the staircase (Enemy 14). Also note that sometimes there are hidden gold bags near the doors that lead to the Kings. You must defeat Kuero, Gortoel, and Ealoseum in order to unlock the gate that leads to Mech Zero. Good Luck (see The Deathless Kings section for tips). ============================ Dungeon Staircase - Enemy 14 ============================ After this battle, you will find yourself at the base of the elevator inside the main castle (Enemy 9). ============================== The Deathless Kings [IBDK] ============================== ======================================== The God King [DK1] Unlocks: The Infinity Blade Level: 50*(n+1), where n=#times defeated ======================================== Tips for beating him: Sometimes he is to quick to only use dodge, so sometimes I do a dodge-shield-dodge in order to get the dodge break I need. Also, go into the battle with a Super, and use it right away. Then, over the course of the battle, he will charge it up and you can use it again to finish him off. If you lose and you want another chance to fight him, you must QUICKLY press the home button on your iPhone and manually exit the program. (For you newbies out there, that means double tap home, find Infinity Blade, hold down on it until it jiggles, and then hit the "-"). Reopen the game and you'll be back in front of the boss again. ===================================== Kuero [DK2] Drops: Dragoor Scale Unlocks: Dragoor Scale Level: 150 ===================================== Tips for beating him: This guy is quick, but the lowest level of the lot at 150. I beat him with the Infinity Blade by abusing my shield and Super. ===================================== Gortoel [DK3] Drops: Dragoor Bone Unlocks: Dragoor Bone Level: 200 ===================================== Tips for beating him: If you are having trouble, level up to about 55 or so, and redistribute your stats so you have lots of attack and lots of health. After that, it's just a matter of memorizing his patterns and abusing combos. ===================================== Ealoseum [DK4] Drops: Dragoor Blade Unlocks: Dragoor Blade Level: 250 ===================================== Tips for beating him: I found a really cheap strategy for beating him - make sure you've beaten Gortoel and have the Dragoor Bone equipped as your shield. Then, redistribute your stats so that about 1/4 go to shield and 3/4 go to attack or health (that's what I did, at least). Then, just hide behind your shield for the whole battle, and only come out and attack for shield breaks. The Dragoor Bone will protect you from everything. I used The Infinity Blade as my weapon, since it has the highest raw physical power. ============================================================================ Mech Zero [DK5] Unlocks: Everything but the Dark gear Level: 300 ============================================================================ Tips for beating him: -Play through several bloodlines until you find a version of Mech Zero that is weak against Fire (his resistances change every time). -If he isn't resistant to fire, lose to him on purpose and make your way back to him. -Equip the Dragoor Blade (which deals a ton of fire damage) and let loose. Also, if he ever backs up to attack, praise the God King, because you will probably get a free stab. Dodge his inital charge, and madly tap his center of mass for the free stab. I won this battle on stabs alone. - Abuse stab opportunities -If you lose and you want another chance to fight him, you must QUICKLY press the home button on your iPhone and manually exit the program. (For you newbies out there, that means double tap home, find Infinity Blade, hold down on it until it jiggles, and then hit the "-"). Reopen the game and you'll be back in front of the boss again. When you destroy him, a familiar figure will approach you: ============================================= Mech Zero Part II: Original Ancestor [DK6] Level: Your Own ============================================= Tips for beating him: He's like an easier version of the God King, just let loose and use your shield a lot. If you have a Super the battle is pretty much over as long as you have plenty of attack power. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ^ Tips and Tricks [IB5]^ <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ========= Easy Gold ========= (Note: I have verified that this works) Submitted by: Matti Once you are powerful enough to kill the 3 Deathless, restart to bloodline 1, fight your way to the 3 Deathless and kill them. You will win the 3 Dragoor items which you can sell for more than 600,000 gold. Restart Bloodline 1 after selling the items and repeat. This method actually nets money even faster than method #1. =========== Easy Gold 2 =========== If you can't beat the Deathless yet, you can still earn massive amounts of gold in a relatively short period of time. Use the following formula: 1. Get to bloodline 12-15 (or the negative equivalent) and restat with heavy attack; this ensures the money drops are already relatively big to begin with and that you can kill enemies quick. 2. (optional - positive bloodlines only) Equip the "Odin's Wisdom" or "Legion" helm; this will give you the Gold+++ bonus. The Royal Helm is also a good choice. 3. Fight your way to the Dark Knight, collecting every gold sack and treasure along the way. 4. Sell any mastered items or excess treasure you've collected. (Don't sell the Infinity Blade, though, even if you've mastered it) 5. LOSE to The Dark Knight, and select "Save and Restart Castle" 6. Repeat until desired level of gold is acquired This will get easier and faster, until you can get through the castle in about 10 minutes, collecting 50,000 - 100,000 gold along the way each time. ======== Easy Exp ======== To earn massive amounts of exp in a relatively short period of time, use the following formula: 1. Start doing negative bloodlines. 2. Kill stuff. You'll earn exp faster than you'll know what to do with it. ========== Easy Exp 2 ========== Use one of the easy gold tricks above to save up a couple million, and then use the gold to instantly master weapons and armor by pressing the double '^' button on the right side of the mastery box. =================================== Interrupt Enemy at Critical Moments =================================== Save your super and magic attacks for when you want to interrupt the enemy. Using either one will stop the enemy in his tracks, no matter what he his doing (even if he is inches from chopping your head off). Note that you must finish drawing the symbol in order for the interruption to take place. Simply pressing the magic button will not interrupt. ========================= Pause at Critical Moments ========================= If you have trouble predicting which way to dodge, pause the game as the enemy starts his attack so you can think it through before unpausing. =============================== Use Fast Forward to Level Grind =============================== Press the ">>" in the lower right corner during cutscenes to speed up the game. Equip a helm or armor that gives you XP+ or better, and use the same formula as "easy gold" to quickly master items. ============================= Redistribute Your Stat Points ============================= Press the "( )" arrows on the lower right corner of the stats on the character page to redistrubute your stats. This is very useful when preparing for difficult battles such as with Ealoseum. It costs $100,000 the first time, but be careful, the price goes up exponentially after each restat: 100,000 -> 250,000 -> 500,000 (etc). ================================ Restart Non-restart-able Battles ================================ If you've lost to the God King or Mech Zero and you want another chance to fight, you must QUICKLY press the home button on your iPhone and manually exit the program. (For you newbies out there, that means double tap home, find Infinity Blade, hold down on it until it jiggles, and then hit the "-"). Reopen the game and you'll be back in front of the boss again. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ^ Inventory ^ <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Here is a complete list of all equipment that is currently available.

^				FAQs					[IBC]^
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Q: How do I unequip the negative bloodline Dark gear?
A: In short - if you are in a negative bloodline, you can't. 

   However, if you reach bloodline -10, you can 
   unlock the gear in the store, and equip it to your character once
   you start doing a positive bloodline again (you'll have to purchase
   it first). To do this use the option "restart from bloodline 1"

Q: Does the Touch of Death do anything secret?
A: Not that I know of - email me if you figure something out, though.

Q: Is there a way to skip the cutscenes?
A: Yes, hold the ">>" icon in the lower right corner.

Q: How come it says "Huge Hit" or "Mega Hit" sometimes?
A: Because you just executed a combo (see combo section in Controls/Combat).

Q: The God King is too hard!
A: If you're about to die, hit pause and restart the battle.

Q: How can I make money fast?
A: Kill the Deathless kings over and over, and sell the Dragoor stuff.
   (see Tips and Tricks section)

Q: If I select the "Restart Bloodline 1" icon, will I lose all my stuff?
A: Nope, you'll go back to the beginning of the game will all of your items
   and XP. Bascially, you'll be an instakill juggernaut (depending on how
   far you got before restarting back to bloodline 1.

Q: What is the best weapon in the game?
A: For raw physical damage, nothing beats the Infinity Blade, but if you 
   are talking about physical + magic damage, the Dark X-SC2 is by far the
   best.

Q: How do I kill ________?
A: Memorize their patterns, and/or go to The Deathless Kings section for tips
   on the bosses.

Q: What's the highest possible level you can reach?
A: With New Game+, there is no limit.
