Light Prayer

Light Prayer is a stance technique, that automatically works during Enemy Attack. It depletes † to cast different prayers. This technique is unique for Paulo (cannot be learned by Werner).

## How It Works

Paulo has commandments and sins - special conditional triggers, that add or remove †. He has a maximum of 6†, which can be increased to 12† with Cave upgrade. Adding more † than your maximum does nothing, but losing more † than you have adds sin points (as much, as you couldn't lose †). Paulo also has a personal item Signal Lantern, which can be used anytime to gain 2† and can be refilled with Kerosene cans (This counts as one of the Commandments). † are used to cast prayers in battle, which work on any distance. When casting prayers, you need to complete praying mini-game. Failing it still consumes † but doesn't do anything.

By default, you only have the first prayer Clear Light, but you unlock one more prayer each time you make a step in your pilgrimage. It becomes available and comes with a free step completed during first Resting Place after Chapter 2. Here are the steps:

* Find the Town (Done automatically, Paulo counts your big party of 8 when he sees everyone working during the camp)
* Slay the Monstrous Beast (Any optional Boss defeated counts among Chapters 3-6, mandatory Bosses do not count)
* Heal your ally's wound (Happens on its own with conditions: some other character is badly hurt and Paulo has a good Social Link with them)
* Collect 3 golden fruits (There is 1 fruit on every golden tree, golden trees are found once in Chapters 3-6)
* Find the Fallen Altar (Found near the end of Chapters 5 and 6)

Praying mini-game consists of fast typing 3 random words from a random prayer. You just need to type them before time is up. This technique does not have any upgrades, like others.

## Commandments and Sins

#### Commandments

* Help allies +3† (Resurrecting someone in battle, as well as some unique moments)
* Acquire Social Links +2† (Any links count, good and bad)
* Pray +2† (With Signal Lantern, Lighthouse Altars and Small Camp events)
* Advance yourself +3† (By gaining every 10th 🟊)

#### Sins

* Don't kill -3† (Only finishing off enemies and familiars counts, dealing damage does not)
* Don't drink Potions -3† (Drinking from Mintwir Fountains counts too)
* Don't Shoot -1† (with any Firearms)
* Don't Miss Prayer -1† (If you stumble upon Lighthouse Altar, ignore it and go to any other room)

## Sin Points

As soon as you get 30 sin points, you will be teleported into special map part with your only further choice - going forward into battle with the Keeper. Defeating the Keeper changes Paulo's storyline and upgrades † system. Commandments and Sins stop working (Only Signal Lantern works). Instead Paulo receives +3† when ends round with at least 1◆. If it happens he also gets +1† per 2🠞 he has left. Meeting the Keeper unlocks God Of Death Achievement.
