Shield of Nostalran

* Before
* After

The **Shield of Nostalran** is one of the many shields that can be found in Nostalgaia. A uniquely designed, ornate gold and white shield with three Icons on the golden parts of the shield.

## How to Get

Purchased from the Oreshaft Village's Easymaker after giving him the Manacles.

## Remembering

After obtaining the ability to restore doorways at the end of Festivity Row, go back to the room in Oreshaft Village where bandits ambush by breaking boxes and barrels. Upstairs, there is a glitching door that can be restored, and you can remember the shield in the room behind it.

## Trivia

The Shield of Nostalran is, very likely, a reference to Baldur's Gate, as not only does the shield look incredibly similar to numerous shields provided in the first two games, but the phrase "You Must Gather Your Party Before Venturing Forth" is integral to this item's lore and method of retrieval, and also happens to be a direct quote from Baldur's Gate's gameplay.

Source Weapon Code

## S0ur(e =We@p0n C0d3

Access Cost: 2

The **Source Weapon Code** (or **S0ur(e =We@p0n C0d3**) is one of the many spells that can be found in Nostalgaia.

## Usage

When cast, this spell coats the player character's right-hand weapon in Source, acting, effectively, as a spell version of the Blood of Nostalgaia item.

## How to Get

Found in Warlock's Wilds. After activating the second pathway illuminator, walk past the first incline to the left, and past the drink stand. Then, keep to the right and ascend a different pathway, which forks at a bridge and a hollow log hallway. Go straight through the log, and find the Source Weapon Code sitting on a cliff, guarded by a Skeleton and a Lost-One in a tree.

## Tips

Like the Homing Pixel Code, this is a spell that should never leave a Source user's hotbar. For only 2 Access, the utility of coating your weapon in extra damage - and a considerable amount of damage at that - cannot be overstated. The duration of the effect isn't very long, but, especially on fast-swinging weapons, the DPS improvement can be substantial.

Shellter

* Before
* After

The **Shellter** is one of the many shields that can be found in Nostalgaia. A blue turtle shell with a symbol that looks like a pair of wings at the center of it, of all the items in the game, this shield receives one of the more noticeable changes once it's remembered gaining spikes and the wings turning the other way around, looking much more clearly like a turtle shell than the unremembered version.

## How to Get

After finding the Chain Mail Code in the Depths, the Shellter shield will be a little further along the same path, at the bottom of a shaft and surrounded by enemies and covered in boxes.

## Remembering

Remembered on the Rainbow Bridge after the Gnom the Consumer boss fight.

## Trivia

The item is an obvious reference to and recreation of the Spiny Blue Koopa Shells found in the Mario Kart series.

## How to Get

## Remembering

Remembered in the Warlock's Wilds. After activating the second (and, possibly, third) pathway illuminators, go back to the campfire where you acquired the second Token of Youthful Operation. If you can't remember where this was, you may want to start the path again and continue until you find said campfire. After the campfire, continue up the illuminated pathway until you get to the drink stand, then continue forward still. Keep right, but don't ascend take the pathways adjacent to the drink stand. Past a deer cutout, a Hidden Skeleton will jump out at you, signaling that you're headed to the right spot. Continue along the right wall until you find a single mini-golf hole. That is where you will remember the Predator's Putter. Watch out for the four other Hidden Skeletons that wait to ambush you here.

The **Edge of Entropy** is one of the many weapons that can be found in Nostalgaia. It is of the Curved Sword weapon class.

The weapon bears an obvious resemblance to a lightsaber from Star Wars, using memory as a blade instead of plasma, of course.

## Remembering

This weapon does not need to be remembered.

* After

The **New Order's Set** is one of the many armor sets that can be found in Nostalgaia. Before being remembered, it appears to simply be a metal lockbox helmet with papers adorning the player's body.

## Trivia

The Run Home bat is a reference to the Home-Run Bat from the Smash Bros. series, but insofar as the Home-Run Bat is a reference to Ness' baseball bats in the Earthbound series. The lore of the bat has more to do with Nostalgaia's analogue to Ness.

Bomb Code

**Bomb Code** is one of the many spells that can be found in the game.

## How to get

Enter the door and you will find yourself in a NPC staging room for the Cultists. The chest will be on the left side of the room, but you will need to use 4000 memory to Uprez and unlock it.
Unrelenting Feather

**Unrelenting Feather** is one of the many runes that can be found in the game.

## How to get

To obtain the first rune, start at the Hall of Heroes beacon. Before proceeding, make sure you have obtained the NPC Staging Room Key by defeating the crossbow enemy nearby. Once you have the key, go to the NPC Staging Room Door and open it. You will be ambushed by four blade-wielding enemies, so be prepared to fight them. After defeating them, go through the door on the right. You should see a chest and a pile of boxes. Destroy the boxes to obtain the first rune.
Nhero's Nameless Sword

## How to Get

Obtained by defeating Nameless Nhero in the Lair of the Adversary. Requires you to have completed his questline.

## Remembering

This item does not need to be remembered.

## Trivia

In the game's files, there exists a picture of a sword very similar in look to Nhero's. However, that sword is referred to as "Turtles Katana", which likely means that the katanas belonging to Leonardo - from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - had been planned to be apart of the game, in some form, but was cut during development.

Vincible Hammer

* Before
* After

The **Vincible Hammer** is one of the many weapons that can be found in Nostalgaia. A gigantic wooden hammer with rough shards of metal stuck to it's head, It has the highest momentum of any weapon in the game

## How to Get

Obtained by defeating Brendon Merkle in NPC City, while approaching The Narrator's Study.

## Remembering

Remembered at the fruit tree in the fruit tree courtyard in Festivity Row. Requires you to remember the New Order's Set of armor first.

## Trivia

Though the hammer has been modified, the weapon was originally owned by Nostalgaia's analogue to Donkey Kong, and this hammer is meant to resemble the Hammer item found in the original Donkey Kong game. We never meet this character or learn his name, however, as the character we obtain it from, Brendon Merkle, originally took ownership of it by distracting the Vincible Hammer's owner with bananas, then taking the hammer and beating said owner to death with it.

Soft cap begins at 42, when the luck bonuses start reaching their hard caps. 45 luck is needed to reach all bonuses. 60 Luck is the hard cap for the whole stat and will not provide any more benefit.

## Tips

While 10 Access is a steep cost, the effect on this spell is not reset when resting at a Beacon, and it may have an indefinite duration. So, one can revive from a death, cast this spell, sit at the Beacon to reload their on-hand Access amount, and then continue forward with full Access and with immunity to losing their Memory.

The Legeneric

* After

**The Legeneric** is one of the many weapons that can be found in Nostalgaia. Similar to its Keeper it is a massive amalgamation of many different weapons forming a messy incoherent-looking Great Club, It is kept by The Grinder, the first Great One faced in the game.

This weapon is a reference to World of Warcraft. Once remembered, the melted weapons are recognizable WoW items, such as Sulfuras (the hammer on top), Thunderfury (in the middle), Ashbringer, Ashkandi, Quel'Serrar, Frostmourne (near the guard) and others. The text also seems to reference the many players that came "in drove", due to the fact that World of Warcraft is a MMORPG.

This **Unburdened** item is one of the many weapons that can be found in Nostalgaia, as well as one of the few items which are Unburdened by default, and is a blue and gold-handled shovel with hilt guards like a sword that is of the Axe weapon class.

## How to get

## Forgotten Knight Helm

The **Forgotten Knight Set** is one of the many armor sets that can be found in Nostalgaia. It is a standard suit of armor, pixelated due being forgotten.

## Forgotten Knight Gauntlets

This entire set is found in Oreshaft Village, along the upper-floor path that circles the statue of Gnom the Consumer.

## Remembering

This set's memories have faded, and it cannot be remembered.

## Trivia

This armor is clearly meant to be a recreation of the Knight's Set from Dark Souls 3, which was used to represent the Ashen One in promotional material. The Forgotten Knight Set also references this in its short, forgotten lore bits, which mention ash.

In the game's files, this set is referred to as "Belmont Armour", which, conceivably, would refer to the Belmonts (likely specifically, Simon Belmont or Richter Belmont) from the Castlevania series. However, if this set ever resembled a Belmont's armor, it was likely changed during development to resemble the Ashen One's armor instead, though the name went unchanged in the files.

Shuriken Code

Access Cost: 1

The **Shuriken Code** is the first of the many spells that can be found in Nostalgaia.

## Usage

When cast, this spell causes the player character to quickly throw a straight-flying projectile, which strikes a single enemy for a small amount of damage.

## How to Get

Found in the Hall of Heroes, in a bowl on a table on the second floor of the Narrator's Library. After crossing the bridge with NPCs dual-wielding axes, turn left and round the corner to find the Shuriken Code.

## Tips

Though the Shuriken Code will become immediately obsolete for anyone focusing on Source and casting spells, the Shuriken Code is a useful tool for any other build. Using it to leash enemies from a distance, separate groups, and score chip damage on tougher enemies will prove an incredibly beneficial ability, regardless of where you focus your points. For casting-focused builds, the Shuriken Code may be a decent backup to have around when casting the Homing Pixel Code is too slow, but the Shuriken is completely outmoded by the Homing Pixel in all other aspects.

Unburdened (Mace)

## Unburdened

This **Unburdened** item is one of the many weapons that can be found in Nostalgaia, as well as one of the few items which are Unburdened by default.

## How to Get

Found immediately upon entering Quest Reward Vault - by crossing the elevated walkways near the elevator and avoiding the Heavy Knight downstairs - and finding a glitching chest, which must be restored to be opened.

## Trivia

The mace is, very clearly, made to be a reference to The Mace of Molag Bal from the Elder Scrolls series. Specifically, this weapon is modeled on its appearance in Skyrim.

Found early-on in the Rehabilitation Pits.

## Tunic's Distressed Hose

* Before

## Remembering

Remembered inside Wunderschonenburg's Humility Chapel.

## Trivia

This set is clearly modeled after the player character's outfit from Hotline Miami. That character is known as Jacket, and his name has been swapped for a period-appropriate alternative, Tunic. The helmet, Tunic's Calling, is also a reference to the player receiving cryptic phone calls that move the plot forward. The pants, Tunic's Distressed Hose, is likely also a double-entendre between hose, as in pantyhose (as in leggings), and a genitalia joke.

While the jacket is emblazoned with an N, leading some to believe it to be a reference to Captain N, and while that's certainly possible, it's more likely that the letter N sewed onto the suit is a replacement for the B on Jacket's jacket. It likely stands for Nostalgaia, as opposed to Nintendo.

Siphon Code

Access Cost: 4

The **Siphon Code** is one of the many spells that can be found in Nostalgaia.

## Usage

When cast, this spell coats the player's right-hand weapon in a life-draining effect that heals the player character each time they hit an enemy.

## How to Get

Found in Wunderschonenburg's Faith Chapel in the Keep of the Stolen Crown. The chapel is reached by jumping down from the path leading up out of her Conviction Chapel.

## Tips

For 4 Access, this spell, unfortunately, does not live up to its cost. No matter where you are in the game, the healing gained from the leach effect doesn't gain enough health back per hit to be worth the cost. For only 1 more Access point, one could cast the Green Herb Code spell for more healing than any use of the Siphon Code could manage. Or, alternatively, use those four Access points for four Homing Pixels to kill whatever's damaging your health.

## Remembering

Remembered in the ruined hovel behind the Maiden Crone's shack in Warlock's Wilds.

## Trivia

The Lost-One Visage, as well as the Lost-Ones and the rest of the Warlock's Wilds, appear to be a loving reference to The Legend of Zelda series. Specifically, the Lost-Ones and their masks are a reference to the Skull Kids found throughout the series.

## How to Get

To find the spell, start by going through Oreshaft Village until you reach the chapel area. Once there, take the door near the podium. Avoid or defeat the waiting Abomination, then go up the stairs to reach the balcony that holds the spell.

Though this spell doesn't do damage remarkably quickly, even late in the game, being able to focus on avoiding or blocking damage while the enemies actively take damage can be incredibly useful, especially for troublesome enemies whom you're trying to whittle down.

Torch

The **Torch** is one of the many weapons that can be found in Nostalgaia.

## How to Get

This weapon can be purchased from the Oreshaft Village's Easymaker after giving him the Manacles. It can also be found at the start of the Rehabilitation Pits, for free.

## Remembering

This weapon does not need to be remembered.

## Usage

While the Torch functions as both a weapon and a light source, it can also be used in the Rehabilitation Pits to light standing torches throughout the area. This can be used to alleviate the area's oppressive darkness effectively. While the Torch may be classified as a Sword when equipped in the main hand, it is the only weapon of this category to not have the ability to be infused at a blacksmith. It also does not have any weapon scaling, despite saying that it scales with Source. The last unique feature of the Torch is that if one holds the Torch in their off-hand and switches stance to two-handing their main weapon, the Torch will continue to burn and illuminate their surroundings while it hangs from the player's belt.

Bad Dream

* Before
* After

The **Bad Dream** is one of the many weapons that can be found in Nostalgaia. A gigantic fierce-looking, partially-organic sword of the Great Sword weapon class, the blade is much larger on the side of the sword that you strike targets with, with organic matter taking up a large portion of the blunt parts of the blade, it has a small handle with brown leather/cloth roughly wrapped around it.

## How to Get

Found in the lower level of the central atrium of the Unbreachable Maw.

## Remembering

In the large stairwell near the first Beacon in the Unbreachable Maw, where darts are flying from wall-to-wall, make your way to the bottom-right of the staircase and follow a ramp down to a lower level. Keep going right until you come to a room with a bridge and a dark portal on the other side. Remember the Bad Dream at this starry doorway. Remembering this weapon requires you to have remembered the Caliber of Memory, as well.

## Trivia

This Great Sword is designed in reference to the Soul Calibur character, Nightmare, and his weapon, Soul Edge, the design of this weapon is almost identical, only lacking the eye near the hilt of the sword.

The portal at which you remember the Bad Dream - as well as the rest of the Unbreachable Maw - may very well be a reference to Quake and the teleporters created by Shub-Niggurath.

Unburdened (Shield)

Determined Toy

**Determined Toy** is one of the many runes that can be found in the game.

## How to get

To obtain this rune, you must first complete a step in the Innocent's questline before reaching the top of the moving staircase room at the keep. It is recommended that you read about this requirement before proceeding too far. Assuming that you have already navigated the foggy maze and obtained the Receptive Hinge rune, you should interact with a house in the area to begin a step in the Innocent's questline. After this, go through the staging room area under Warlock's Wilds and take the path to Oreshaft Village. While you are there, you will encounter the Reservoir of Pain, who will offer an alternate item to give to the Innocent. When you return to the Innocent, you will have the option to give either a box or a gourd. Both choices will result in the rune being awarded, but giving the gourd will also advance the Innocent questline.

Chain Mail Code

Access Code: 3

**Chain Mail Code** is one of the many spells that can be found in Nostalgaia.

## Usage

When cast, this spell functions as direct chain lightning. No projectile is launched. Instead, the enemy targeted takes the initial hit, and then every other enemy around them is hit for a lesser amount.

## How to Get

To find the spell, enter the Depths and make your way to the mining area. Once there, continue forward until you see a tunnel on your right. Go through the tunnel and you should find the spell near some boxes.

## Tips

Though it is useful to be able to damage an entire group of enemies at once, the Chain Mail Spell doesn't do very significant damage, especially for its Access cost. Its use isn't necessarily recommended, as the Homing Pixel Code spell will clear a group of enemies much more quickly, even though one would have to use it on single targets.

Chain Mail Code
Glitter Party Code

## G/!t7er P@r7y C0d3

Access Cost: 5

The **Glitter Party Code** (or **G/!t7er P@r7y C0d3**) is one of the many spells that can be found in Nostalgaia.

## Usage

When cast, this spell causes the player character to throw a disco ball grenade, which explodes for fair damage, then leaves a lingering bubble of Recursion damage over time.

## How to Get

Found in Start of Sequence. After finding the second Beacon (the Staging Room one, a while after the heart-platform Beacon), you'll descend from a balcony to walk forward across a half-destroyed road. Go left into a building, ascend a flight of stairs, and go into the first room on the right. There's an enemy waiting for you in there. Kill it, then continue through a closed door in the same room. You'll walk out onto another balcony, and, to your left, there'll be a gap that you can cross by going flat. Do so, and retrieve the Glitter Party Code.

## Tips

Although this spell does do a fair amount of damage, both on initial impact and over time in the lingering area, it is likely not worth the 5 Access cost. Its range is limited, as it's thrown like a grenade, and the area isn't very large, so keeping an enemy inside of it will require the player to get close and either lead them into it or block attacks to hold the enemy back in the field.
