* Your equipment durability represents percentage of maximum damage or protection, and while you'll unlock the ability to repair items quite a long way into the game, you'll have to swap out gear regularly until then. | * Your equipment durability represents percentage of maximum damage or protection, and while you'll unlock the ability to repair items quite a long way into the game, you'll have to swap out gear regularly until then. | ||
* As with most games in the series, there is a hidden mechanic known as Sword Magic that's not mentioned in any way in-game. The common kind is activated by pressing the spellcasting button mid-swing of a weapon, but this requires you to be level 3 with that weapon and is not that useful. The more useful kind is tied to certain unique later game weapons and can be used at any weapon level. This type is activated nearly the same way (cast a spell mid-swing) but in this case you first have to press interact button immediately before starting the weapon swing. | * As with most games in the series, there is a hidden mechanic known as Sword Magic that's not mentioned in any way in-game.

* Some ways into the game, you might come across an area with intense music and a permanent curse effect. While it's possible to get a lot of money and experience from the flying enemies there, it's not worth the trouble trying to pass through it until you've first found the source of the curse and opened all four chests by the red water fountain. | * Some ways into the game, you might come across an area with intense music and a permanent curse effect.
