IR Chronicles - Rise of Gamblers is the latest role-playing game which was released in Sentosa earlier in February and a second add-on is set to be released in Marina Bay at the end of April. It's a unique turn-based RPG (Role-Playing Game) where you have interchangeable main characters, as well as an interesting tactical battle system that involves looking for jobs, getting places to stay and gambling, all to survive in the magical world of Singaportasy.

=========================
Walkthrough
=========================

Create a character when you start a new game. There are a few classes of characters that you can choose from: Citizen, PR or New Immigrant, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

---------------------
Citizen
---------------------
He is the weakness and also the least agile since his movements are restricted by the Ring of Gahmen Policies he must wear on his right hand. However he has high charisma so it is easier to recruit NPCs (non-player characters) into the team.

Strength = Low; Intelligence = High.

---------------------
PR
---------------------
He is a mix between the Citizen class and New Immigrant class. His movements are flexible and is able to move around quickly and easily with the Book of Other Country Passport.

Strength = Medium; Intelligence = Medium.

---------------------
New Immigrant
---------------------
He is the toughest fighter and will get the most golds at the the end of a battle compared to the Citizen or PR class. However he is vulnerable to the Sleep spell during battles.

Strength = High; Intelligence = Low.

=========================
Resort Worlds - Lobby
=========================

Head to where the long escalators are and move up. At the top of the escalators, you will reach the lobby. Proceed to the Save point and save.

If your character is a Citizen or PR class, go north to the Casino Levy. Talk to the man behind the counter. When he ask "Do you wish to donate 100 golds?", select "Yes" and he will give you a Casino pass. Skip this if your character is of New Immigrant class.

---------------------
Optional Side Quest
---------------------

If your character is a Citizen or PR class, instead of paying 100 golds at the Casino Levy, you can also proceed to this side quest. At the end of the lobby there is a man in black cloak. Go over and talk to him. He will ask "Do you want to borrow Foreign Passport for 50 golds?". Select "Yes" to start the quest.

Head west to the Casino Gantries. A security officer will stop you and ask for identity. Give him the Foreign Passport. He will then throw a coin into the air and ask you to select Heads or Tails. If you win the game, he will open the gantry. If you lose, you will have to fight him.

---------------------
BOSS Battle #1
---------------------
Attack his legs when he is performing his dog-eyes attack. He charges with his eyes looking up, so you should have time to block. Look for the leg that is glowing blue and attack it. Whenever he raises his walkie-talkie, you need to attack to stun him, or else he will multiply himself.

=========================
Resort Worlds - Casino
=========================

Once inside the Casino, you may head to any of the tables to start mini quests. At the four corners, you can find Coffee Machines. If your HP (Health Point) is low, use these to restore your health. You can also sleep on the ground to restore health, but that will take longer.

There will be men in black caps surrounding all the tables. You need to get near the tables before you can start any mini quest. Talk to these men in black caps to distract them until there is a gap large enough to squeeze through.

There will be women in red around the Casino. Do not talk to these women. They will steal golds from you.

Every mini quest that you play at the tables requires a certain amount of golds, depending on the table that you choose. If you run out of gold, look for the man with large ear lobes. He will usually be hanging around the bar area. You can get any amount of gold from him, but when you leave the Casino, he will appear at the exit and ask for nineteen golds for every three golds you borrowed. If you do not wish to pay him, you will have to fight him.

---------------------
BOSS Battle #2
---------------------

At the beginning of the battle, he is weak to Light spells. For every attack, he will suck HP from you and add it to his own. If he sucks more than 100 HP from you, Light spells will not affect him anymore. Use overlimits like crazy to stop him. You need to win this battle, or else you will lose all your HP and golds.

---------------------
BOSS Battle #3
---------------------

Once you entered the Casino, there will be a counter shown on the top right corner of the screen. The counter will increment from 0000 to 2400. You need to leave the Casino before the counter reaches 2400 or else you will need to fight the Casino Security.

This guy is faster than the security officer at the Casino Gantries. Some of his attacks are hard to stop. Be cautious when he get into his DL mode. Keep combo-ing and pounding him down. Sooner or later, he will use Boss Duster and his attacks will now inflict Paralyze. Keep using Give Chance Lah spell to counter his spell. After that, just finish him off.
