Tutorials related to your party's gear.

## **Using Bakhu's Spine**

Swing your weapon to slash at your target. Hitting enemies with the sword’s hilt deals significantly less damage.

Transform the sword into a whip by pressing and holding LT/RT Button. Swing your weapon to whip at targets. You can use the whip to grapple anchors to cross great distances, pull objects, or even grapple enemies.

## **Using the Stonecutter's Axe**

Make the axe float in mid-air by throwing it and pressing LT/RT Button.

Redirect the axe while it's floating in mid-air or embedded in a surface by gesturing in one of the displayed directions.

Throwing the axe is effective against enemies at range, but throwing it too often may cause foes to deflect it.

## **Using Manu's Shell**

The shield is effective against blocking and deflecting ranged attacks and projectiles. Block by holding the shield up in the path of an enemy's attack. Blocking and parrying with the shield consumes less Stamina than other weapons.

Bash the enemy while holding the shield to stagger them, or dash towards an enemy while holding the shield outward to perform a dash bash. Bashing and parrying with the shield costs Stamina, which regenerates over time.

Press and hold LT/RT Button to expand blades around the shield. This increases its melee damage.

## **Using the Protean Sword**

Swing your weapon to slash at your target. Hitting enemies with the sword’s hilt deals significantly less damage.

Summon the eel's whip-like tongue by pressing and holding LT/RT Button. You can use this to grapple anchors to cross great distances, pull objects, or even grapple enemies.

Throw the sword at enemies to have the eel strike with a powerful attack after a brief delay.

## **Using the Protean Harp**

To play music, strum forward or backward on the harp. The harp also acts as a shield in this state. To engage the harp's battle mode,  press and hold LT/RT Button.

To fire a basic projectile, strum forward on the harp while holding LT/RT Button. Strumming backward on the harp will charge any available projectiles, which all fire at once and deal significantly more damage.

Throw the harp at enemies to briefly stun them, providing a useful opportunity to follow up with another attack.

## **Using the Ephyra**

Throw the aggressive Ephyra onto the battlefield so it can attack foes with a flurry of projectiles.

The Ephyra's onslaught lasts for a limited duration and returns to your side when it is done.

Unlock additional abilities in Cyrene's skill tree in order to enhance its combat prowess.

## **Using Alvilda's Claws**

Press and hold LT/RT Button to extend metal claws from Alvilda’s hands, which can be used to shred foes when swiping at them.

## **Using the Bladed Bow**

To wield the bow, grab the bowstring and pull it towards you, then release to fire an arrow. Pull the bowstring back more to maximize arrow damage. Hold and swing the bow to use it as a melee weapon.

While holding the bow, press LT/RT Button to cycle between arrow types. Bounce arrows ricochet off surfaces and deal more damage the more times they bounce before hitting a target. Pierce arrows pass through foes and their shields, dealing more damage the more targets they pierce. Split arrows fire multiple arrows at once in a tight formation.

Press and hold LT/RT Button to ready a grappling arrow, then release it to fire and grapple to targets.

## **Using the Prism Shield**

The Prism Shield is effective against blocking and deflecting ranged attacks and projectiles. Block by holding the Prism Shield up in the path of enemy attacks, or thrust it toward enemies to bash into them.

Press and hold LT/RT Button to fire a beam of light that damages enemies over time and activates Prism Crystals.

To suspend the shield in mid-air, press and hold LT/RT Button after throwing the Prism Shield. You can direct its light beam in this state by aiming your hand towards your target.

## **Using Luminous Mines**

You can throw the Luminous Mine directly at foes. It will instantly detonate on impact, dealing a small amount of area damage.

You can also throw the Luminous Mine on the ground to create a trap, which activates briefly after it makes contact with the ground. Any foes that step near the mine will trigger its explosion, dealing a significant amount of damage to anything in its range.

## **Using Djehuty's Skull**

To wield Djehuty's skull, grab while your hand is near his face. Throwing his skull at an enemy will possess it for a short duration, causing them to fight alongside you.

Enemies with Runic Armor can be possessed by first charging the skull. Additionally, throwing the skull onto the ground will create a trap after a brief delay. Foes that step near it will be automatically possessed.

To restore your Divine Protection, press and hold LT/RT Button to drain the possessed foe's vitality.

## **Using Djehuty's Staff**

Striking foes with the staff generates up to a maximum of five Soul Cinders. Each cinder increases your damage dealt. Receiving damage or failing to strike an enemy after a period of time will remove all existing cinders.

When the staff has five Soul Cinders, melee attacks regenerate a portion of your Divine Protection. Press and hold LT/RT Button to charge a ghostly projectile, and release LT/RT Button to fire. Shooting a projectile from the staff consumes a portion of your Divine Protection.

Throw the staff on the ground followed by pressing and holding LT/RT Button to deal damage to nearby enemies.

## **Using the Bone Beads**

Press LT/RT Button while holding the beads to switch between whip form and shield form.

When in whip form, the beads can be flicked to slash targets from a medium distance. Grapple foes by flicking the beads forward to attach to them, followed by pulling the beads towards yourself. When in shield form, block by holding the beads up in the line of attack.

To spawn a portal, grab the beads with both hands and stretch them. When two portals are spawned, travel between them by walking into a portal. You can teleport weapons by throwing them through a portal.

## **Weapons and Armor**

Ptah the Creator can outfit your party for battle with an array of weapons and armor, once you provide him with the proper resources. Numerical values represent an item's offensive Damage or defensive Resistance power.

Armor determines how well your party resists damage, but it can also provide additional effects. Equip all four pieces of a matching set, and its wearer will be bestowed with a unique Set Bonus.

Equip weapons, armor, and stat-enhancing relics that complement your strategies, whether to enhance your preferred combat style or to bolster your defense against specific foes.

## **Relics**

As ancient artifacts imbued with ethereal power, Relics are an efficient way of bestowing boons upon mortals. Attach relics to your heroes' weapons and armor to receive their benefits.

There are three primary types of relics: elemental, passive, and special. Elemental relics bestow elemental power or resistance. Passive relics modify stats. Special relics bestow unique abilities.

Relics must be equipped to weapons or armor in use. They can be removed at will, so feel free to experiment.

## **Combat Traps**

Combat traps are single-use items that you can wield to turn the tide of battle. Prepare yourself by equipping traps to your belt for quick access.

To deploy a trap, grab one from your belt and throw it onto the ground. Once set, it will apply damage or a debuff to nearby targets.

Traps can be crafted with the proper powders, but only by an experienced hunter.
