Tips
  • The Sword of the Father drains your HP when attacking, but lessens reliance on the Ring of the Lucii.
  • Shock Troopers are designed to self-destruct; lure them close and back away to detonate them.
  • The vending machine offers healing items; sell treasures to restock.
  • Foras cannot follow you into side rooms.
  • Use the Ring of the Lucii's Holy or Alterna abilities against large groups of enemies or powerful foes like the Wraith.
  • If Foras enters a room, move back into the hallway to make it respawn there.
  • EXP 3,000 for reuniting with your friends.
