The Echoes

The Echoes, also knows as Specters, are six enemies fought in an extra boss battle found in the Spirit Oval. To find the Echoes, one must finish Gwenora's quest to retrieve the Echo Heart, and go through a bathroom off to the right of the main room in the Spirit Oval. Once in the bathroom, follow the hidden path at the bottom of the room, and rather than following it to the right stall, keep moving to the right, as the path branches off to a secret room. In this room you will find a mirror surrounded by skulls and bones, and you must touch it to find the Echoes.

Once you touch the mirror, the Echo Heart will react, and you will be transported into the Echoes' area. An echo of each of the six main characters will appear, saying the things they hate about themselves. Then the battle will begin.

### The Mirror

After finishing Gwenora's quest, she says she will give you one last location to find, and you are given a picture the mirror. She says that you will never find the room, and that you shouldn't anyways, an ominous hint towards the Echoes.

Meracchi, in their room in the Northern Dorms, also hints towards the Echoes. If you pay them 50 gold, the secret "Mirror of Echoes" hints towards the Echoes' mirror. Meracchi says that one of their mice found a mirror that traumatized them, and they won't speak of it. Meracchi also hints towards Gwenora's help, saying that they tried to get help from Gwenora who dodged the question, but suggests that you could possibly get more out of her.

### The Echoes

Each Echo has access to the same actions as each main character at their full strength, up to their final actions. Most of their attacks can be blocked the same way that they are triggered as playable characters. You can not stop their use of non-attack actions.

At the beginning of the battle they say "We will depart together or not at all," and to complete the battle all 6 echoes must defeated at nearly the same time. After defeating one echo, they will transform into a crystal, and the crystal will continue to have turns. On the first turn, the crystal gets the instant death status effect, and will implode three turns later. If all the enemies haven't been defeated, and turned into crystals, by the end of those three turns, or if the crystal takes any damage, the defeated echo will come back to life at half health.

### Upon Defeat

Upon defeating all six enemies, the echoes are whisked away as each character counters with self-positivity. As each character speaks, their echo disappears. They are all whisked from the echoes' room back to the room where the mirror was. The room is now completely empty, without blood, bones, or mirror to be found.

Petronella says that although they tell themself they are worthless, their friends disagree, and they trust them. Rook says his friends love him with all his flaws, a love he can return. Pertisia says she can heal, given time and those who love and support her. Ima says ze has failed in the past and survived, giving zirself permission to fail. Gilda says that although she envies her friends, she is also proud, and a strong member of the group.
