01 / THE GUIDE
QTE Battle System
Combat relies on quick‑time events (QTE) that require the player to press prompted keys at the right moment, blending timing challenges with real‑time action. Successful inputs directly affect damage and survivability.
The system is built for fast encounters, so players must stay alert to varying enemy patterns. Mastering the timing of prompts becomes crucial for tougher fights.
- Practice early QTE prompts to develop timing consistency.
- Watch enemy animations for clues about upcoming prompts.

Side Quest Boss Fights
Beyond the main storyline, the game provides side‑quest bosses that differ in flavor, strategy, and difficulty. Each encounter introduces its own mechanics, requiring the player to adapt.
These optional battles act as skill tests and add variety beyond the main storyline with challenging combat scenarios.
- Experiment with different equipment before each boss.
- Take note of each boss’s pattern to anticipate QTE cues.

Roles are heavily customizable through equipment. Equipment modifies the character’s stats, allowing players to shape their playstyle.
