Knife: Learn it, Use it, Love it
Your knife is one of the most important weapons you have. It can’t run out of ammo, and has no reload time. But the most important element is that it can take down almost any enemy with one swift hit - just get close and press the “fire” button to perform the kill.
Now here’s the thing: you can still take damage during the knife kill cutscene, but only from bullets. As such, we recommend only using the knife on soldiers who are alone, otherwise his buddies will turn you into swiss cheese. But you’re golden with dinosaurs - in fact, if a group surrounds you, killing them is as easy as tapping the “attack” button right after each kill!
Bow and Arrow
The bow allows you to assassinate enemies without making a noise. It functions just as you would imagine, hold the trigger to ready the arrow, then release when you’ve got the target in your sights. The further you pull the arrow back, the longer it will fly. However, keep in mind that you can only hold the arrow taught for a few seconds, before Turok automatically releases it, so only pull the arrow back when you’re ready to shoot. You can tell Turok’s about to release it if the controller starts shaking.
The bow is a fantastic weapon for sniping, so long as you fire it maximum power.
Shotgun and Flare
Think of the shotgun has a more powerful pistol. It can only fire a single shot at a time, but it’s damn powerful, and has a large hit-radius. But perhaps more importantly is its secondary feature: a flare launcher. You see, dinosaurs are attracted to bright lights, so you can use this to lure one group of enemies to another, causing them to fight one another to the death, thereby making your job much easier. Also, try planting a flare on a dinosaur to cause others nearby to attack.
Lost? Follow the wall
Whether you’re lurking through the jungle, or searching a cave, Turok’s levels can be confusing. If you find yourself getting lost, try this: Choose a wall and stick with in. Sure, it may take a bit longer, but by following a single wall, you can find your way out of and every area.
