Each Quest's description reminds you of the tasks needed to accomplish it. Descriptions are updated when new information is gained. Note: There are two types of Quests: Required and MiniQuests. It is not essential to complete the Mini-Quests to finish the game. You can call up the Quest menu at any time by pressing q on the keyboard or clicking on the quest icon located on the hud. Map As Joseph and his party explore new areas, the areas become visible in the Map screen. When you look at the Map, you see three important details. · Your current position is represented by a white cone. You are standing at the point of the white cone, where the cone indicates the direction of the camera. · Explored areas can be seen as soon as you view the Map screen. 17 · Areas you still need to explore are blacked out and mysterious. If the current area has more than one level (layers), click on the arrows on the bar labeled layer to explore other layers. You cannot view a layer's map until you've actually explored that layer. Switching Characters As more people join your party, you can control them individually during the adventure or in combat. You can also scroll between their Skills and Status interface screens. Simply press tab or click on the arrows near the character bar to switch characters. The selected character's portrait, on the bottom of the screen, becomes highlighted and the circular icon is now beneath his or her feet. Solo Mode You can have any of the characters leave the party at any time to continue adventuring on their own. To do this, first make that character the active character, then press the h key. Now you can control the active character individually without the others following. You can still select the other characters by using the tab key. Pressing the h key again takes the character out of Solo Mode and the entire group rejoins the active character. Note: You can also click on the solo icon on the hud to activate Solo Mode. E Levels and Experience xperience is gained by defeating enemies and completing quests. When a character has accumulated enough experience points, he or she attains the next experience level. Each time a character "levels up" his , or her maximum hp and ap stats increase. Additional skill points are also gained. [. . . ] You will occasionally find valuable items. Have your party attack the same enemy target if possible. It is better to quickly defeat one enemy than to attack multiple targets at the same time. Before you equip a new item, make sure it is better than the item you have currently equipped. [. . . ]
