Story Transformations

Cicada

During Chapter 1, the Destined One will be turned into a golden cicada to sneak around the area and avoid combat. You can exit the transformation if you want to fight the enemies in the area, but you won't be able to turn back into being a bug.

How to Get Transformations

Get Weapons or Valuables from Bosses

Certain bosses will drop their weapons or valuables once you defeat them, granting you the skill to transform and fight like the boss for a short period of time.

Once you use a transformation, you will get access to unique light and heavy attacks and a special attack once you fully charge your Focus meter.

Transformations Overview

Transform into a Boss for a Short Period

Transformations allow you to take the form of certain bosses over a short period of time. These transformations will let you use unique attacks, which can be helpful in tight combat situations.

The Transformation spell has a long cooldown after it is used, so it is recommended to only use it when fighting tough bosses.

Different from Spirits

Do note that Transformations Spells are different from Spirit Spells, which unlock a single move rather than a full-blown transformation.

Spirits are unlocked after capturing the essence of certain bosses, and they let you take the form of the respective boss and execute a single move.

List of All Spirits

Duration Relies on Health and Might Meter

How long you can stay transformed depends on your health while transformed or how much is left in your Might Meter. Both of these are displayed on the lower left side of the screen.

Your health will decrease whenever you get hit by an attack, while your Might Meter will slowly decrease over time or whenever you execute an attack. If any of these run out, you will transform back into a monkey.

You can also de-transform if you want to end your transformation early with the same button input as when you transform into a boss.

Attacks Build Up Focus

Similar to your regular form, attacking while you are transformed will build up Focus, which is displayed on the lower right side of the screen.

Once you fully charge up your Focus meter, you can execute a powerful Full Focus attack. These attacks vary from one Transformation to another and can have different command inputs.

Change Transformation at Shrines

You can change your equipped Transformation skill in any Shrine.

Offer an incense at the Shrine, select Set Spells, and choose the last node to change to any of the Transformations you've unlocked.
