In addition to the game manual and tutorial stage (Chapter 1), DS2 has an in-
game Handbook that is part of your Journal. (For ease of use, the Handbook is 
reproduced in this guide in section 5.1) If you want to know all the ins-and-
outs of playing DS2, refer to those resources. This section is intended as a 
quick-start guide for players who don't like lots of reading before playing.
