⚡ Pro Tips

💡 Explore thoroughly - many hidden areas and secrets
💡 Upgrade your weapons and abilities regularly
💡 Use stealth when possible - resources are scarce
💡 Save before boss fights
💡 Complete side content for extra rewards
💡 Pay attention to enemy weaknesses
💡 Use the environment to your advantage
💡 Experiment with different playstyles

⚡ Magick and Omega Moves

  • Melinoe's magick meter powers the omega cast and the hex; it refills from mana pickups and specific boons
  • Hold the cast until enemies group up - a single well-placed omega clears a room

👑 Boss Checks

  • Hecate: dodge the sheep transformation, and kill the adds before the second phase
  • Scylla: the band fight is three targets; focus the singer, not the drummer
  • Chronos: the time stop telegraphs with a clock ring - dash out of the ring, not through it

🎴 Boons and Keepsakes

  • Zeus for chain damage, Apollo for area damage, Poseidon for knockback - pick one god and go deep
  • Equip a keepsake for the god you actually want, not the one you already have
  • Raise Fear only after a clear; the Oath system is a difficulty dial, not a starting setting
