Ability-gated exploration

Abilities that block routes, collectibles or quest progress until you have them.

Combat ability choices

Combat powers come from Resonants, and most groups make you pick one reward.

How to unlock combat abilities

Defeat a Resonant to earn its combat ability. When a Resonant offers more than one, you choose a single reward — the others can be recovered later with a Reset Item or a Resonant Token.

Ability synergies and status effects

Abilities that combine with each other, not just a list of related powers.

  • InfectedBurn

    Infected + Burn

    Mold abilities apply Infected. Hitting an Infected enemy with Burn triggers an extra burst of damage.

  • AstralizedBurnInfected

    Astralized openings

    Astral abilities leave enemies Astralized, and Lifted targets stay exposed while they are airborne.

  • Falter

    Falter windows

    Shield Bash, Push and Ground Slam build Falter, opening a burst window on a staggered enemy.

Can you change an ability choice?

A choice group is not a permanent lock.

Yes. A Reset Item lets you re-pick a combat ability, and a later Resonant Token can add an ability you skipped.

  • Reset Item

    A Reset Item re-opens a combat choice you already made, letting you pick a different ability from the same Resonant.

  • Resonant Token

    Later in the story, Pope's Research can trade a Resonant Token for an extra combat ability from a group you already chose.
