Adventuring Basics
Adventuring Basics
Here are six important things every traveller should know:
Status Ailments
Some enemy attacks inflict status effects. All ailments except death can be cured with the
spell Clear. Rotate the Control Stick or +Control Pad rapidly to shorten their duration.
Elements of the Crystal
Crystals can possess one of four elements: fire, water, wind,
or earth. The element of your chalice's crystal affects the
entire caravan. You cannot pass through certain places
without the correct element.
Changing Your Element at Hot Spots
You can change your crystal's element at hot spots, which
are found inside dungeons. When you place the chalice
upon a hot spot, the crystal gleams, and its element and
color change. Each element grants the entire caravan a
certain resistance.

Crossing Miasma Streams
Miasma streams divide the world into sections, and
each stream possesses a certain element. To cross each
stream, you must make sure your crystal's element
matches that of the stream. The stream repels any who
carry a different element.
Status Ailments
The game ends when all members of the caravan
are defeated in battle. Select "Continue" to resume
the game from the area where you were defeated.
