5 Pro Tips for Succeeding in the New Fantasy RPG

  • Save your game often, as decisions can greatly impact the story and your party. Autosaves are not frequent enough.

  • Get creative in battles. Push enemies off ledges, throw objects, and use the environment to your advantage.

  • Magic is powerful but extremely limited. Don't spam all your spells early on or you'll have none left.

  • Resting fully heals and restores magic. Do it often, as battles drain resources quickly.

  • Keep characters equipped with weapons and armor they are proficient with for best results. Don't just equip the highest stats.
