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 A.

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 overflows 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 fight. 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.
