Combat fundamentals for new adventurers — blocking, parrying, weapon swapping, and early priorities.

  1. 01

    Equip two weapons and swap mid-battle — stamina is tracked per weapon, so switching lets both recover simultaneously

  3. 03

    Use Dash and Warp (teleport to Faie's position) to reposition quickly and dodge heavy boss attacks

  4. 04

    Break pots, crates, and grass everywhere — they contain Tul, materials, and occasionally Magicite Fragments

    Upgrade your Magicite Box early (500T rank 2) — higher rank unlocks additional Magicite slots on your weapons

  6. 06

    Collect every Shard of Life you find — 60 total across all four ages, each one permanently increases your max HP

    Complete early side quests before spending Tul in the shop — quests #1–4 give you free weapons including Sapling Spear and Short Bow

§ 07

Elliot Magicite Builds — Best Weapon Enhancements

Magicite fragments enhance weapons with damage boosts, faster charge speeds, and unique combat effects.

View all →

Damage Build

Stack raw attack Magicite on Sword or Bombs for maximum DPS — best for boss fights and single targets

Charge Build

Faster charge-time Magicite turns the Bow into a rapid-fire ranged poke build with high uptime

Control Build

Weapon-specific Magicite on Chain or Sickle adds crowd-control effects for managing large enemy groups

Tank Build

Defense and stagger-resistance Magicite on Spear pairs with parrying to make you nearly untouchable

Effect Build

Dungeon-exclusive Magicite unlocks unique combat effects — check every Shrine and boss room for rare drops

§ 08

Faie Magic & Abilities Guide

Faie is central to both combat and puzzle-solving. Her abilities are active throughout the entire game.

View all →

Direct Control

Send Faie to a specific position to activate switches, grab distant items, or trigger environmental puzzles

Local Co-op

A second player takes full control of Faie — assists in combat, solves puzzles independently, and heals Elliot

Warp Magic

Teleport instantly to Faie's current position — escape traps, cross large gaps, and reposition mid-fight

Ignite Magic

Faie sets enemies and objects on fire, triggering burn damage and lighting torch puzzles throughout dungeons

Vacuum Magic

Pulls nearby enemies or items toward Elliot — useful for crowd control before a heavy weapon combo

Copy Magic

Faie mirrors Elliot's current attack pattern, effectively doubling hit count on a focused target

Combat Support

Faie auto-attacks nearby enemies between your inputs and provides small heals between dungeon rooms
