Valdis Story: Abyssal City

• Your stats actually matter, think a bit on where you're going to put those points. You can respec later on but it costs items.

- Speaking of items: Never sell/use your last Rogue's Cowl, you'll need one to buy the double jump ability and there's a limited amount of them.

- Another item to look out for is Tamahagane: there's only ten of them in the game and they allow you to do extremely powerful stuff after defeating a certain optional boss TEMPORARYDASHCHARACTER with all ten of them you can unlock another weapon, or they can be used to upgrade your weapons and armor, or gain extra levels over the cap.

- That one companion ability that grants you regeneration is extremely useful.

- Learn to love magic. The system feels a bit wonky at first (every magic rune adds four spells, you can have a total of four spells equipped and the combination of spells you have gives you stat bonuses based on light/dark affinity) but the most powerful combos and attacks are all done with spells.

- Backtrack. Explore. There's a ton of hidden stuff, including areas and bosses.
