Petz: Dogz 2 and Catz 2/Enemies

Defend yourself
Sneak up on an enemy when it is sleeping or, if it is an enemy that isn't sensitive, sneak up behind it. Then press to bark or screech at the enemy and stun it for a short length of time. By holding down longer you can howl or wail. You can also stun most enemies by hitting them with a stone (after you have learned the action 'Pick Up and Throw') which will knock them out for a few seconds. This is useful for getting past an enemy, but not for if you are looking for something and they are in the way.

If it is a non-rotating snake which is in the way and there is no way of getting behind it, let it see you but then retreat so it doesn't have enough time to attack you. It will then go back to its spot, but it should end up facing the way it got there, which means it would have its back to you. Now you can sneak up on it. You'll know an enemy has spotted you when you see the angry icon over its head.

When you are attacked
If an enemy attacks you, you will lose some of your health. If you run out of health, the game is over and you have to start again from the last saved point. You can recover health by using healing items, which you can find in many places or purchase from the Drug Store. Or, to recover all your energy, go to your house and take a nap in your bed. You will automatically regain full health if your maximum health increases.

If you are attacked by a poisonous enemy, you can use some antidote or leave the area to be cured. You will also be poisoned by the Poisonous Bog in Sky Heights if you fall in.

At certain points in the game, your maximum health will increase. This is when it happens;


 * 1) After you rescue Saul.
 * 2) After you thaw the river for Godfrey.
 * 3) After you have found some Thyme to make Cough Medicine for Toby and Daisy.
 * 4) After you have found the Water Crystal.
 * 5) After you have sealed the Whirlwinds in Lonesome Park.

You can also gain an extra heart by getting some special fruits or vegetables for Charlotte or Ambrose.

Moving an Enemy
In Bubble Cave and Gongoro Peak, you will find an enemy which is guarding an entrance to somewhere. These enemies only have a low sensitivity, but they will still notice you if you go near them. Therefore, you need to pick up a rock. Throw it at the enemy and it will not be stunned, instead it will start to chase you. Lead it as far as possible and get out of it's sight. Then try and get round to the area they were blocking without them seeing you again, because otherwise you will get trapped inside! Where an enemy is guarding, there is something to be found on the other side…
