How to Get Favours in Nightingale

Learn how to get Favours like Power, Endurance, and Soaring in Nightingale. Discover how Bastilles and other encounters reward you with these temporary but powerful boons.

Hey there! So, you're diving into Nightingale and wondering about these 'Favours' you keep hearing about? Think of them as little buffs from the Fae, giving you a temporary edge in your adventures. There are three main types: Favor of Power, Favor of Endurance, and Favor of Soaring. Each one sticks around for about two to five minutes and gives you a nice boost.

Let's break down what each one does:

• Favour of Soaring: This one's pretty cool. It makes your jumps way higher, and you'll land gently, almost like you're floating. It's kind of like using a Thinned Veil Card, but without any of the downsides. If you want to zip around the realm faster, especially when combined with your dodge skill from your knife, this is the one to go for.
• Favour of Power: Feeling like you want to hit harder? This favour is your best friend. It cranks up your damage output, making enemies feel like paper. It's perfect to activate right before you tackle a Site of Power or a Fae Tower – really lets you feel like a powerhouse.
• Favour of Endurance: This one is all about keeping you going. It boosts your stamina, meaning you can run, fight, and gather resources for much longer without getting tired. If you've got a long trek across the map ahead of you, or if you're planning a big gathering session for your next base build, this favour will be a lifesaver.

How to Actually Get These Favours

Alright, so how do you snag these goodies? When you're exploring the Realms, you'll stumble upon structures called Bastilles. You'll find different types – Intellect, Strength, Insight, and Agility. No matter which Bastille you tackle, you'll get a Hope Echo, which can give you a card or some essence, and importantly, a favour. After you finish the activity within the Bastille, you'll see a favour appear as a glowing orb in a small enclosure inside the structure. This orb will cycle through the three boons: Soaring, Power, and Endurance. Just hang tight, wait for the one you want to show up, and then interact with it to claim your favour.

Keep in mind, these favours can also pop up during other encounters, like 'Occupations' (which are smaller challenges), but it's not a guaranteed drop from them. Also, once you've grabbed a favour from a specific Bastille, you won't be able to get another one from that same Bastille again. So, choose wisely!

Don't forget, Bastilles aren't the only place you might find favours. Keep an eye out during Occupations and other random encounters as you explore. Happy adventuring!
