Followers

Others will be drawn to you and your search. So it is with a 
great cause such as yours—even those with little talent for 
magic instinctively feel the dire nature of your task and long to 
take part. Be cautious when choosing whom to accept into your 
circle.
Though you will gain many followers, only one may 
accompany you at any time, and each supports you in a 
different way. To switch followers or change their combat 
behavior, press  

>

 to go to the in-game menu, then pull  

l

 

or  

r

 to scroll to the 

Followers 

screen.

To switch followers, highlight the follower you want on 
the 

Followers 

screen, and then press  

A

. Note that in some 

instances, such as during combat, you are not able to switch 
followers.
To switch between Attack and Support modes, select a follower, 
and then press   

X

. Use  

L

 to highlight the desired mode, and 

then press

Dawn Star

Like you, Dawn Star was brought to Two Rivers as a child. 
Considering her general kindness to all, it is no surprise that 
you became close friends. But, caring though she is, many in the 
village consider her strange, whispering that she speaks with 
ghosts. Just as she has accompanied you throughout your years 
of learning, you would be wise to keep her close to your side 
during the trials to come.

Sagacious Zu

The hermit of the swamp is a man with blackened hands and 
the scars of many battles. His skill in battle is unquestionable, 
but his loyalty to your cause is not so certain.

Foes

These days the land overfl ows with perils—some originating in 
this world, others emanating from the next.

Bandits

These scoundrels typically roam the countryside, preying on 
weary travelers. But with recent events keeping most citizens 
close to the safety of their hearths, these bloodthirsty rogues 
have become desperate, attacking towns directly.

Death’s Hand

Few dare speak the name of the Emperor’s advisor, but all live 
in fear of him. Little is known of Death’s Hand other than that 
he is the leader of the shadowy Lotus Assassins. A few brave 
souls imply that the Emperor relies on his counsel more than is 
prudent.

Combat Encounters

You automatically enter Combat mode any time 
you approach an opponent who is prepared to 
fi ght. You can pull  

l

+  

r

 to move about more 

freely in Free Target mode, but you may not 
leave the combat area until you have 
dispatched your foe.
