Elliot Weapons Tier List — All 7 Types Ranked
All seven weapon types ranked. Equip two at a time and swap mid-battle to chain abilities and manage stamina.
Sword
Rapid close-range slashes + ranged charged energy burst — strongest all-rounder from start to finish
Bombs
Burst damage on groups and tough targets — Explosive Brooch turns thrown objects into projectiles
Bow
Safe ranged poke, strong early-game value, keeps you out of danger while dealing consistent damage
Spear
Piercing thrust reaches enemies behind shields, excellent medium range and strong attack values
Chain
Pulls mobile enemies toward you — creates openings for heavy follow-up weapon attacks
Sickle
Traps enemies in place, locks down single targets for sustained damage combos
Boomerang
Lower raw damage but excellent utility — hits multiple enemies and triggers switch mechanics
Elliot Beginner Guide — Combat, Exploration & Progression
Combat fundamentals for new adventurers — blocking, parrying, weapon swapping, and early priorities.
- 01
Equip two weapons and swap mid-battle — stamina is tracked per weapon, so switching lets both recover simultaneously
- 02
Time your blocks — well-timed parries stun enemies and reflect projectiles back at them
- 03
Use Dash and Warp (teleport to Faie's position) to reposition quickly and dodge heavy boss attacks
- 04
Break pots, crates, and grass everywhere — they contain Tul, materials, and occasionally Magicite Fragments
- 05
Upgrade your Magicite Box early (500T rank 2) — higher rank unlocks additional Magicite slots on your weapons
- 06
Collect every Shard of Life you find — 60 total across all four ages, each one permanently increases your max HP
- 07
Complete early side quests before spending Tul in the shop — quests #1–4 give you free weapons including Sapling Spear and Short Bow
Elliot Magicite Builds — Best Weapon Enhancements
Magicite fragments enhance weapons with damage boosts, faster charge speeds, and unique combat effects.
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
Faie Magic & Abilities Guide
Faie is central to both combat and puzzle-solving. Her abilities are active throughout the entire game.
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
