Core Mechanics at a Glance#

Note: many older guides swap the roles of the two flags — Battle Flags are the large flags where you rest and save; Marking Flags are the small ones that raise Fortitude and fully restore your health when raised.

Key Tips#

Beginner Route#

Combat revolves around deflecting and Spirit: start with the beginner basics to learn deflect, Morale, and flags, then push the main story in the boss guide’s opening order; whenever you get stuck, go back and raise flags, build Morale, and swap in a countering element. Mechanics detail lives in the combat system and controls pages, common questions in the FAQ, and patch news in the updates page.
