In order to make this guide as quick and easy to navigate (given that many of
the people that read it are going to do so specifically to get over specific
issues that they are experiencing) I have elected to implement a section code
which I originally used for my Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy Guide.  It's really
quite simple, and I'll give you an example just to make sure we're all on the
same page ;)

If, for example, you want to skip to the "BOSS FIGHT - THE SAND DRAGON" 
section, just hold ctrl + F to call up your default find screen, and type in 
"0 1 0" and hit enter.  This will take you, first to 0 1 0 in this index, and
then to the appropriate section.

                         INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

Hello and welcome to my Conan (for the X-Box 360) FAQ and Walkthrough !

My name is David, and I will be your guide, so let's get started shall we ?

I should mention that I don't at all mind you getting in touch to ask me 
questions or to provide me with helpful critique or suggestions you would like
me to consider incorporating into my guide - my objective at the end of the
day is to produce a piece of work to honour the game, and to try and help as 
many of you out there as possible to increase YOUR enjoyment of it - however I
should point out that I don't (DO NOT) like dealing with idiots, so if you 
have nothing either interesting or constructive to say, MY advice is to not
bother getting in touch with me - you'll just incur my ire, cheers ;)

So !  Onto the game :)

Conan is a hack-and-slash game.  A stand-alone title which can be alikened to
a number of games including Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, God of War (I & II),
the Tombraider Series, Onimusha Warlords and others but which, like so many
decent titles out there, looks to borrow from, and improve upon the best that
many of the other games have to offer, rather than to obviously rip any one
off.

You control (rather unsurprisingly) Conan, a barbarian brute of a man who is
far more interested in pillaging and conquering than tea and biscuits.  As 
such I expect you to find him THOROUGHLY entertaining to play with ... I 
certainly did !!

The main selling point of playing an out-and-out warrior like Conan is that
the game centres heavily around his combat control system, which is very 
well-developed.  You can attack using one of four different combat styles,
and you can mix-and-match these styles during play.  Just quickly, your
combat styles are :-

     - One weapon (with optional Shield)
     - Two, single-handed weapons
     - One, double-handed weapon
     - Bare hands (grappling)

There we go - I think that'll do as a brief synopsis of the game.
