Spirits

**Spirits** are helper characters in Cursed 3 that grant various perks to the player.

## General Information

There are a total of 6 spirits avaliable in the game. Each are represented by a specific Gemstone that do not take up any space in the inventory, and have unique primary abilities. If upgraded with a Void Orb, they gain a secondary ability that can function in tandem with what they already have.

Only one Spirit can be active at any given moment to confer exclusive bonuses.

Collecting all of them is required for 100% completion.

## Jade

The Jade gemstone contains the spirit of a friendly "defective" Vigil that was banished by its fellow demons. It is located in the Hallway, randomly left behind by Ferdinand if the Cheese is placed near the mouse hole.

### Primary Ability

### Secondary Ability

She additionally heals the player when attempting to execute her freeze ability.

## Topaz

The Topaz gemstone contains the spirit of an apprehensive soul outcast, intangible to the naked eye but vulnerable otherwise and only manifesting within a burlap sack. It is located in a clearing through the Forest's northeast exit on a scarecrow, obtained after killing the threats surrounding it and grafting the burlap sack to the scarecrow.

### Primary Ability

He constricts any noise made by the player in the current room only, preventing them from alerting threats in other rooms.

### Secondary Ability

He now fully conceals the player in hiding spots as long they are not seen entering it, completely preventing enemy detection.

## Blue

The blue gemstone contains the spirit of a noble guardian resembling a Spikeroller, who was entombed for his wishes to defend the weak and refusal to fight. The blue spirit stone is hidden within a red chair in the Living Room. The Knife is needed to cut the chair open.

### Primary Ability

He can dismiss a single projectile with his shield. After doing so, he goes in cooldown for ~7 seconds, during which this ability does not function.

### Secondary Ability

He additionally shields the player from behind and stops all projectiles hitting there. This ability has no cooldown.

## Diamond

The diamond gemstone contains a machine resembling a revolver body with loaded bullets and a rotating gear who was created from void essence, but is now unbound from its original creators and is in search for a new user.

### Primary Ability

He produces ammo for every few minutes, dropping them in the room if the player doesn't move away from it. This ability is compatible with all kinds of weapons that use ammo, save for the Tommy Gun. If the player is not holding any compatible weapons, he produces ammo for any compatible weapon at random.

### Secondary Ability

He now displays an ammo counter for any currently equipped weapons that use ammo.

## Onyx

The onyx gemstone contains the spirit of the Lunar Knights' Captain, who manifests as a burning dark skull and is eager to continue serving his goddess Luna. It is obtained by first defeating the Captain in the Colosseum in combat, then repeatedly attacking him until the helm and skull are knocked off. It is the only gemstone that cannot be missed in a playthrough.

### Primary Ability

He launches fireballs at enemies ahead of the player every 5-8 seconds, dealing damage on hit.

### Secondary Ability

He additionally burns enemies on hit, causing additional damage over time.

## Trivia

* Prior to version 1.1.5, the jade spirit would repeat its first line of dialogue when clicked on, a vestige of an unimplemented ability that is mentioned in the same conversation. After said update, it now has an observational line for every room.
* The Jade spirit refers to other Vigils (and presumably himself) with the alias "watcher," their unused name in Cursed 3's game files.
* The diamond spirit stone is the most expensive item in the Orb Shop.
* Many if not all of the spirits are of otherworldly origins, and are in some way at odds with other demons and the influence of Malus.
