Quick notes

  • Dungeon tools reopen the world. Each major tool has a combat use and a traversal or puzzle use.
  • Read the obstacle before attacking. Blue crystals, distant grapple points and portal panels are different systems.
  • Use the Crossblade’s ordered targets. The blade can carry fire from a flame to a bomb or other target.
  • Charge the Voidwalker when the route needs momentum. Portal exits can launch War with different force depending on the portal setup.
