Weapons
Initial key cost: 8; unlock other weapons first
Adamant Rail
Basic role: Ranged fire with reloads and an explosive Special.
Quick notes
- Compare the six Infernal Arms. Weapons determine your basic movement and attack rhythm before boons are added.
- Use the correct upgrade resource. Keys open weapons, Titan Blood develops aspects, and hammers change attacks during an escape.
- Match boons to attack frequency. A fast repeated hit can trigger effects differently from a slow heavy strike.
- Practice defense with the Shield. Holding the Shield’s attack charges Bull Rush while blocking from the front.
Use the correct upgrade resource
| System | Resource | Lasting effect |
|---|---|---|
| Weapon unlock | Chthonic Keys | Adds that weapon to the courtyard |
| Aspect development | Titan Blood | Improves the selected aspect |
| Weapon move upgrade | Daedalus Hammer | Applies for the current escape |
| Boon level | Pom of Power | Improves an eligible boon this escape |
Useful tip
The Rail costs eight keys after the other weapons have been unlocked; finding eight keys alone does not make it available.
