Skills

Learn how to use every skill in Ori and the Blind Forest, from Spirit Flame to Bash, to navigate the world and defeat enemies. Master Ori's abilities!

Alright, let's talk about how Ori moves and fights! These skills are super important, not just for combat, but for getting around the beautiful world of Blind Forest. Think of them as your toolkit – the more you master them, the easier everything becomes.

Spirit Flame: This is your bread-and-butter attack. It just shoots little flame sparks at whatever's in front of you. The cool thing is you can fire it while running, and it's surprisingly effective if you run backward and shoot. Keep this one ready!

Wall Jump: You're going to use this constantly. It lets Ori hop up walls. Seriously, this is fundamental to how you'll navigate most areas. Get comfortable with it!

Charge Flame: This one takes a bit more effort but packs a punch. Hold down the attack button, and Ori will charge up a powerful blast. When you let go, it explodes! It's great for clearing out groups of enemies, and it's also your key to breaking those glowing blue walls you'll find scattered around.

Double Jump: This is exactly what it sounds like – you can jump a second time while you're already in the air. The trick here is not to just spam it. Try to time the second jump right at the peak or end of your first jump to get the most height and control.

Bash: This is a really unique and powerful move. Ori can fly through a projectile or even an enemy, and you can aim where Ori goes. If you bash a projectile, it flies off in the opposite direction. This is crucial for breaking certain walls and for some tricky platforming sections.

Stomp: Think of this as a ground-pound or a butt-smash. While you can use it to attack enemies below you, its main job is to smash through weak ground or to hit those nail pegs you'll see.

Kuro's Feather: This skill lets Ori glide through the air. It's a lifesaver when you need to cross large gaps or, more importantly, to float safely over hazards like thorns.

Climb: Once you get this, it feels like a bit of an upgrade to the Wall Jump. Ori can now grab onto walls and climb up them without needing to repeatedly tap the jump button. It makes wall traversal much smoother.

Charge Jump: This is another powerful move that sends Ori rocketing upwards. It's way higher than a normal jump, and it also destroys any walls or enemies directly in its path. Great for breaking through obstacles or getting a quick burst of height.
