Part 8

Navigate Bullworth with ease! This guide breaks down Bully: Scholarship Edition's main screen, map, pause menu, social interactions, and authority figure interactions.

Alright, let's get you familiar with the lay of the land in Bullworth. This section is all about understanding your main screen, how to navigate the map, and how to interact with everyone around you, from your buddies to the prefects.

The Main Screen

When you're running around Bullworth, your main screen is your eyes and ears. Your character, Jimmy Hopkins, is right there in the center. You'll use the Left Analog Stick to move him and the Right Analog Stick to spin the camera around him or the environment. If you're on PC, the keyboard and mouse handle these actions.

In the top right corner, you've got your essential meters: the Map to show you where you are and where to go, your Health Meter (the curved one on the left), and the Trouble Meter (the curved one on the right). Keep an eye on these!

Once you get to the mission "This Is Your School," a Clock will pop up in the top left corner, keeping track of the in-game time. Your currently equipped weapons will be shown in the lower left corner.

The Main Map and Pause Menu

Pressing the Back Button brings up the Main Map of Bullworth. This is super handy for figuring out your current location and spotting important places like mission objectives and jobs. You can also use the D-Pad Left and D-Pad Right to check on your classes and see how different groups feel about you.

After you complete the Geography Classes in Chapter II, the map will also show you where all the main collectibles are hidden. Pretty neat, huh?

Hitting the Start Button opens the Pause Menu. This is where you can check your Stats, tweak Options, or load a saved game. Some cool extra features, unlocked through Photography classes, will also appear here.

Social Interaction

When you lock onto someone by holding down the Left Trigger, you'll open up the Social Interaction menu in the lower right. You'll have two main options: be nice or be a menace.

• A Button (Positive): Use this for simple greetings, accepting errands, apologizing, paying off bullies, giving gifts, or even smooching up to girls (or certain guys!).
• B Button (Negative): This is for taunting, shoving, giving wedgies (when you're behind a guy), or pinching behinds (when you're behind a girl).

Warning: Be careful with those negative interactions, though! They can definitely attract the attention of authority figures.

Authority Figures

Speaking of authority figures, they're always watching. How you interact with others, especially using those negative social options, can quickly raise your Trouble Meter. If it fills up, you'll have prefects or other adults chasing you down. It's usually best to keep your nose clean when they're around, or at least know how to make a quick getaway!

Vehicle Controls (Quick Reference)

If you happen to be in a vehicle, the controls change a bit:

• Left Analog Stick: Steer your vehicle or move around.
• Right Analog Stick: Look around your surroundings.
• Left Analog Stick Button: Look behind you.
• A Button: Accelerate.
• X Button: Brake or Reverse.
• Y Button: Dismount the vehicle.

You can also use D-Pad Left and D-Pad Right to check tasks, Back Button for the Map, and Start Button for the Pause Menu, just like when you're on foot.
