ASTERIX AND OBELIX  KICK BUTT


I have never written a walkthrough before, but after coming here and getting
help so many times I decided I would attempt to give back and do one myself.

Here goes:

Asterix starts out on top of a hill.  Walk down the winding road to a large
open area with metal boxes scattered around the open area.  You cant break them
so we will have to pass them by till you meet up with Obelix, Asterix's friend.
Come back with Obelix later and he will break them for you.

At the left side of the road you just came down on, are grassy steps leading
up to a cave blocked by more of these metal boxes.  (remember this for when you
and Obelix come back later).  For now walk over to the little man standing in
the far left of the open area and he will tell you who he is and what to do.

The man says he once was Rome's finest secret agent of Caesars.  But he is no
longer a spy, so I call him X-Spy, as I dont recall him giving a name.  He
tells you to collect 30 Roman helmets scattered around the area and come see
him in the village ahead when you get them and he will help you again.  Ok, go
through the opening ahead in front of you in the fence and enter the first part
of the village.  As you go straight forward you will see a tree with winding
steps leading up it and helmets sitting on the steps.  Go up the steps and to
the platform at the top and you will find more helments on top of the platform
and on the roof.  After collecting them jump down collecting the helmets
floating in the air, on the way down.  There are enemy soldiers in this part of
the village.  Kill them and collect more helmets.  When you near an enemy and
he gets a yellow circle of light around him that means he is safe to hit, so
hit him.  When the cirlce of light turns red he will hit you and take power
away from you.  So hit him before it turns red!  Search the village area here
for the rest of the helmets.  Oh, and there are bulls in a pen guarded by an
enemy, kill enemy and hit the bulls for drumsticks for you to eat to fill up
your shields, if you lost any fighting shields(they are your health) the
enemies.  After you can find no more enemies to fight and no more helmets to
collect then go up to X-Spy, who is standing by a large block of granite.  He
will collect the 30 helmets he wants automatically when he starts talking and
he will tell you to push the large granite rock behind him against the fence
and climb up on it to get over the fence.  He gives you more helmest for
completing the mission he gave you to do before and he then runs away to meet
you in another area a bit ahead in the game.  So, go move granite block and get
over the fence to the next area you need to go to.

After you climb over the fence you will see a platform sitting next to the
fence in the this new area.  Climb up on this platform and collect the shields
and get the x2, or3, or6, or 10 icon (whichever it is) floating up there.  THE
X multipliers icons will multiply the number of helmets you gather, for a short
time, so hurry and jump down and go smash boxes quickly, before fighting the
soldiers, to easily multiply your helmets.  Then kill the enemy soldiers and
hit the bulls in the fence to get your life force filled to the max. Now go up
to the stone wall on the opposite side of where you came into this area and
pull out the granite block blocking the entrance way in the wall of stone.
Enter the tunnel.  As you walk through this tunnel you will find boxes and meet
up with the X-Spy again and he tells you about the Golden Laurels and that you
need to collect them in the whole empire and that in every providence you
advance through there are a certain amount of Golden Laurels to collect.  He
then motions to one of them that is directly behind him.  He tells you there
are 5 Golden Laurels here in this level, the Gaul Village.  You will be
rewarded he says for collecting them.  Then he runs away on to the next place
he wants to meet you at.  So we now know where the first Gold Laurel is, so go
ahead and get it.  Then break the boxes all along the tunnel walkway and you
will soon exit out into another part of Gaul Village.

Break boxes and collect helmets, as before, and jump down one step to see
X-Spy again standing by a block with an extinguished torch sticking out of
it(dont get it yet).  He tells you can grab the torch and light it in a fire
and use the fire to light other things.  But if you dont keep using it it will
go out and you will have a hard time getting it lit the next time you need it.
So first go around and break boxes and collect helmets.  Then go pick up the
torch and light the fuse on a barrel standing on the ground in front of a
doorway blocked with some rocks. Make sure you back away after lighting barrels
or you will lose some life when they explode.  Once the rocks are blown away
the door way reveals a step leading up to another part of this area.  Go up
steps and at the top you finally meet up with Obelix.  Obelix will now join you
on your journey.

When you arrive up on same level with Obelix go to the right and through a
doorway in the rock wall and end up at a beach by a large body of water.  There
is a dock with the X-Spy standing at the end of it and 2 ships way out in the
water(which you cant reach).  There are enemies in this area so go kill them
and then break all the boxes.  At the one end of the beach, you will find a
Gold Laurel in a cave behind some boxes.  This is your 2nd Golden Laurel!  Now
go out to the X-Spy standing on the dock and he will tell you that two of your
friends are prisoner on those two boats you can see in the distance and that he
wants you to go and get them free.  He also tells you there is an old man
imprisoned somewhere too, that you must rescue.  Ok, lets leave this area and
go back on the road you met up with obelix, but first take Obelix with you to
the start of the game area where you saw those boxes I told you to come back
later for.  Lets go all the way back to the beginning area.  Once you get to
the last doorway before the area, Obelix will automatically walk through on his
own and you can now control him and go break those boxes. Dont forget to climb
up the grassy steps on the right and break the boxes in the doorway and enter a
cave where you will find your 3rd Golen Laurel.  Now go back to the path you
met Obelix and head to your left.

You will see a man stirring some smelly potion in a caldron on a fire, after
turning left.  Hit the man or the caldron and the game will ask you to save
your game.  Save.  Then go past him and travel on the winding path, breaking
boxes and collecting helmets till you meet up with the X-Spy at the end of the
path with your dog Dogmatix standing right beside him. He tells you that if you
press R1 Dogmatic will bite enemies making them drop them weapons so you can
kill them without getting hurt.  Cool!  Plus he says you will find green gourds
filled with a magic potion that will give you a few seconds of super strength
when you collect them. Some potions give the earth a huge slam and all the
enemies in the area of the earth pounding will be dazed and you can kill them
easily.  Other green gourds will let you have strength for a short time that
will allow you the ability to break those metal boxes that you generally have
Obelix break!

Continue breaking boxes till you once again meet up with the X-Spy.  This
time he tells you he has a big secret to share with you.  The camera shows you
an item that he calls the Maximus Repeating Canon.  He says you can kill
enemies and open blocked gates with this item.  But first you must kill all the
enemies in the area, as there is a red bubble covering it, making it impossible
for you to get to.  He also tells you there are 70 enemies in the area you have
to kill to get to open access to this canon.  So get going, and kill those bad
boys.  (When done dont forget to break the boxes.  There are drumsticks of life
in some of them.)  Or, if your life source gets low during the fight, go break
some boxes to get drumsticks to fill up your shields of life.

There is also a groups of soldiers standing all close together forming an
impassable box.  They are full of helmets, so you have to kill them.  They have
their spears tips protruding out so dont hit them to kill them till they pull
the spear tips back in.  Then punch their shields continually and after a few
hits they will all die and give you a lot of helmets.  Nice!

After all 70 soldiers in the area are dead and all the boxes broken and your
life force filled back up again, go get on the Maximus Repeating Canon and let
Obelix move it left to right so you can fire canon balls at the blocked
entrance to open it up so you can go in to the next area.  After the the rocks
are blasted away enter this new area.

Once inside the building you will see stairs in front of you and off on your
right side is a doorway blocked with boxes.  After breaking these boxes enter
the little room where you will see the X-Spy again. You will notice Obelix
didnt enter with you.  The doorway was too small for him.  The X-Spy tells you
that Obelix is okay and is waiting for you to open a door ahead so he can join
you.  But first he tells you you have to climb these shelves on the wall beside
him to get to that area.  So lets start climbing.

After climbing to the top and collecting the helmets and multiplying icons,
you will see an indention in the wall.  Step in it and hit the knob on the wall
there.  The small piece of wood you are standing on rises and takes you to a
new area with more boxes and blocked doorways and the X-Spy standing there.
Before you break anything go talk to the X-spy and he tells you again you can
only smash iron boxes if you drink green strength potions or if you have the
Maximus Repeating Canon, but that Obelix can break them with just his fists.
The X-Spy then opens the dark metal door beside him and there is your friend
Obelix standing there faithfully waiting for you.(thank goodness!)  The X-Spy
then makes a circle appear on the floor and encircles it with a blue light, off
to the side of the doorway Obelix is standing in.  He tells you it is a
switching station and that you can walk into it and it will allow you to switch
to using Obelix. Hurray!  Now we can break all the metal boxes in this area.
Dont stand there, go walk into the blue light!


Now Obelix is running the show.  But before you have Obelix walk into the
room, have him turn around and collect your 4th Golden Laurel sitting there on
the walkway behind him.  Only 1 more to go! Then walk into the room and break
all the boxes.  In the other area in this room you uncovered another doorway
which is your exit to the outside to another new area by going down several
ramps.  Lets go.

Once you arrive in this new area you will see soldiers lined in formations
ahead and boxes stacked all over the area.  There is also a different kind of
box of to your right a bit behind where you jumped down to this area.  Go to it
first and hit it.  It opens into a store-of-sorts and the guy is selling some
items.  You can buy more health and can increase your health, if you have
enough money.  Its pretty cheap though.  He is also selling different kinds of
combo moves. Great to have, so buy these whenever you have the money to get
them, as you can use them whenever the meter on the left side of your screen
fills up with white and the words COMBO flashes.  You can kill enemies easier
and quicker with this.  Buy the Power Hammer Combo now and if you dont have the
money to buy the other, buy it later.  Now walk up to those soldiers and kill
some soldier butt!!  They are soooo chicken, most of them are running away.  Go
get 'em boys!!

The soldiers run by the bridge and over it, so go kill them.  Then travel up
both sides of the stream to break boxes and on one side you will find your 5th
Golden Laurel!!  Great job boys you collected all of the Golden Laurels in this
providence!  Continue killing soldiers and go back along the path you just came
from and make sure you got all the boxes smashed and all the soldiers killed
and helmets collected.  Then continue on over the bridge and fight the final
bit of soldiers in front of an old man locked up in a cage.  Old man
imprisoned, hmmmm, could he be the one the X-Spy was telling you about?

After Killing all the soldiers, you recognize the old man!  It is Getafix,
your friend!  He tells you to get Obelix to break off the door so he can get
out.  Obelix then automatically rips the door right off the cage and sets him
free.

Getafix then tells you a story about 3 fragments of a map that Caesar tore up
that him and 2 of your other imprisoned friends stole.  He gives you his
fragment of the map and tells you you must free the other 2 guys and get their
fragments.  After he is done talking to you, a Save automatically appears and
you can save your game. Save!  Congratulations!  You have completed the first
providence in the empire.  Good job!!
