Item directory
Relics
Relics grant abilities and utilities that change exploration. Revisit inaccessible passages after gaining transformations or movement upgrades.
Equipment and drops
Enemy drops and hidden rooms expand the equipment collection. Keep rare finds separate from ordinary shop stock, and remember that equipping two items can be more useful than judging each alone.
Map completion
Explore both castles and fill rooms carefully. The game’s map percentage can exceed 100%, so reaching that number alone does not mean every area is finished.
Quick notes
- Map percentage includes two castles. The normal castle and inverted castle contribute separate map squares, making a full original map exceed 200%.
- A relic may need to be enabled. Collected relics can be toggled, so check the equipment and relic menus if an expected transformation or access ability fails.
