WHICH POWERS TO ENHANCE...
Increasing the health gauge avoids running out of health too quickly, increasing
the Celestial Brush gauge lets you draw more, adding Astral Pouches gives you extra
lives to work with and increasing the purse size lets you hold more money. With so
many powers to choose from and the freedom to invest Praise Orbs in any ability,
it might not be clear at first which power is better to enhance. For times when
the decision is not as clear, you can never go wrong with taking a balanced approach
to enhancing the different powers.
VISIT ORIGIN MIRRORS OFT EN !
Whenever you are ready to embark towards a new destination or when arriving
in a new town, it is a good idea to find the Origin Mirror and save the game progress.
As long as you do so, you can adventure into the new area without worry.
PAY AT TE NT IO N TO I SSUNS MOV EM EN TS
Issun is wise in the ways of the world and can often present good advice for you on
your journey. He is normally enveloped in green light, but when he spots something
interesting, he changes to a yellow glow. If Issun ever changes color to yellow, it is
always wise to approach him and talk to find out what he has discovered.
USE THE CE LE ST IA L BRUSH
WHEN THE C OLOR RU NS OUT OF AN ENE MY !
When attacking enemies, sometimes they will lose all of their color. This means they
are momentarily defenseless against the power of the Celestial Brush. If you use
the Celestial Brush on them at times like this, you will deal more damage than
normal. You should take advantage of every opportunity when the enemy loses
their color.
CHECK THE ARCH IV E!
Within the Archive Screen, there is a Log Book with a Journal containing important
information gleaned from talking to people during the journey. If you are ever stuck
at some point, check the Journal to see if there is an important clue about what to do
next. In addition to the Journal, the Bestiary contains information on any enemies
encountered. If you “Continue” after being defeated, the information on the enemy
is still present in the Bestiary. Information pertaining to their weak spots will be
highlighted in red, so check the Bestiary if you are having trouble defeating a
monster.
KEEP THE A ST RA L POUCH FULL TO AVOID A GAME OVER !
If Amaterasu takes so much damage that the health gauge drops to zero, it will be
game over. The only way to avoid instant game over is if Amaterasu’s Astral Pouch is
filled with food in which case all of the energy inside is converted into health, giving
Amaterasu an extra chance. When you are about to set off for new territory, keep the
Astral Pouch full just in case there is trouble.
ADVIC E FOR BEATIN G TOUGH MON ST ER S
When you just cannot seem to defeat a particular monster, one option is to buy an
Exorcism Slip at a store. These slips do not come cheap, but they pack a punch and
deliver a set amount of damage to an enemy making them a valuable Tool to have at
your disposal. If your weapon’s attack power does not seem strong enough, one
option is to use Gold Dust. This powerful Tool will increase the attack power of a
Divine Instrument one time. This Tool is perfect for occasions when you do not yet
have access to a more powerful Divine Instrument but still need a boost in attack
power.
LEARN NEW SKILL S AND CELESTIAL BRUSH TECH NI QUES
You can revisit previously impassable locations after learning new skills and Celestial
Brush techniques. Many locations will be impossible to pass through the first time
you see them because you do not yet have the proper skill or Celestial Brush
technique to clear the obstacle. There is bound to be something important that could
aid you on your journey if you go back to these locations and use your newfound
knowledge.
