Jewelcrafting

Discover the secrets of Jewelcrafting in Pathways into Darkness. Learn about item categories, weapon types, crystal powers, potion effects, and miscellaneous items to aid your journey.

This guide section focuses on the various items and their uses within Pathways into Darkness, particularly highlighting the mechanics of Jewelcrafting.

Items:

• Weapons: The primary means of combat against monsters. Some weapons utilize different ammunition types, such as HE and Sabot.
• Crystals: These items grant special powers. After equipping a crystal, it requires a charging period before use, with subsequent charges taking longer. Eventually, crystals shatter, except for the yellow crystal, which allows unlimited communication with the dead.
• Potions: Found in bottles, potions have various effects when consumed, ranging from invincibility to time manipulation, but their effects are temporary.
• Miscellaneous Items: These objects are used to solve puzzles (e.g., red cloak), are essential for gameplay features (e.g., map), can store other items (e.g., canvas bag), or have unique functions (e.g., tinderbox).
• Treasure: Various valuable items can be found throughout the game.

Picking up certain objects grants points, with every two points awarded increasing the player's health by one.
