Configuring Mecha Therion
Mecha Therion can be equipped with a variety of weapons, allowing players to create preferred combos. Loadout choices include Destroyer, Melee, and Auxiliary class weapons.

Destroyer, Melee, and Auxiliary Weapons
The game offers three weapon categories: Destroyer for heavy fire, Melee for close‑range attacks, and Auxiliary for supplemental effects. Each class provides distinct tactical options.
Therion’s signature Hellwraith minigun, which shoots tormented souls, is one of the weapons that can be equipped on the mecha.
- Match weapon class to enemy patterns you encounter.
- Note how auxiliary weapons complement primary fire in crowded scenes.

All‑New Challenge Mode
Unlocked after beating the main game, Challenge Mode replaces the health bar with a limited number of lives. Players collect pick‑ups to upgrade weapons on‑the‑fly.
Scoring is based on defeating enemies and destroying destructible objects; lives can be earned at score milestones or by collecting Blood of Valfaris, while hits can downgrade weapons.
- Focus on high‑value targets early to boost your score quickly.
- Use checkpoints strategically, as they can be destroyed for extra Blood of Valfaris.
