Crystalis

• Bosses are hard gated by both equipment and level; if you hit and get a tink sound, you did 0 damage. If all of your available swords tink, you're too low level (or you sequence broke).

• You can only have one status effect at a time, so getting turned to stone (which wears off by itself) is a solution to being poisoned or paralyzed.

• There are a handful of missable items. If you care about being a completionist, talk to everyone after every plot beat.
