Objects (Asterix & Obelix XXXL)

These are the objects found around the world of Asterix & Obelix XXXL.

## Steles

Steles provide information on game mechanics. They're mostly found at the early stages of the game.

## Crates

Crates are the most common objects in the game. They may contain weapon items, food or nothing.

Wooden crates are more common and can be broken easily. Obelix can break them by rushing through them.

Iron crates first appear in Drogheda. They can be broken with items which have the spiked ball icon (e.g. hammers), heavy items with the weight icon (e.g. menhirs), an Ultimate Attack with any weapon or by O'Kidokix.

Special iron crates appear when confronting Almostfamus and Perilus. They change between indestructible (red glow) and normal depending on circumstances.

## Item Containers

The player can find containers with infinite supplies of weapons, e.g. shield stashes and hammer shelves. Similar containers for food can be found as well.

## Stone Block

Stone blocks usually act as obstacles and need to be moved, but in some cases they’re used for platforming. There are 3 kinds: small and big which are moved on the ground by any character, and hanging big ones.

## Lever

    Levers activate various mechanisms. If they're out of reach, throw something at them. If you see a floating red lock above a lever, then you must defeat all the Romans in the area before you can use it.

## Ledge

    Ledges look like little wooden platforms with an X mark. They can only support Asterix’s weight, if Obelix jumps on them they will flip down.

## Spring Catapult

    These objects appear as circular plates on the ground. One character stands on it, while the other hits the corresponding lever to launch the previous character.

The Maximum camp (Drogheda Cliffs) features spring catapults which are meant to launch enemies instead.

## Crane

Cranes are controlled with levers. They carry a wooden platform which moves up and down, or from side to side.

## Pressure Plate

These plates activate mechanisms when you stand on them or place items on them. They work for as long as they're being held down. They appear in the levels The Hibernian Concert, The Hibernian Games and Tara.

Small plates can be held down by any character and any item.

Big plates require heavier pressure, they can be held down by Obelix, a heavy item (e.g. barrel) or several light items. They have lights next to them, they function when all the lights are lit.

## Musical Instruments

Musical instruments make up a Simon Says type of puzzles, which are unique to The Hibernian Concert level and its camp. The player hits the pipe organ, which makes the other instruments play notes: the bagpipes, the drum and the harp. They must memorize the order of the instruments played and repeat it by hitting them.

One of these puzzles is different: the pipe organ is unreachable, but the sequence is shown on the wall. Hit the instruments to see which notes appear, remember which note corresponds to which instrument and hit them in the displayed order.

In the Harmonium camp, if there’s a Simon Says puzzle in the area and Romans spawn indefinitely, complete the puzzle and then finish off the remaining Romans.

## Targets and Dummies

Targets and dummies appear only in the level The Hibernian Games and its camp. The player hits them to earn points and fill their score table (cyan) until it matches or surpasses the Roman score table (red).

Targets are out of reach and mobile, they need to be hit with thrown items.

Dummies spawn from under the ground and hide if not broken for too long. They’re usually within reach and possible to break with any attack.

It's advised to throw round objects (e.g. round shields) at targets and dummies, as they can ricochet. A single hammer can hit 2 targets, as it flies through those.

## Trivia

* If targets are close enough, you may be able to hit them with Ultimate Attacks.
* Tara has a big pressure plate which stands out: it has only 3 lights.
