How to Get New Spirits

Capture Spirit Essences

Some bosses or enemies will leave purple flames after defeating them. These are essences that you can capture once you have the Blessed Gourd, which you can get in Chapter 1.

Do note that not every enemy or boss will grant you a Spirit to use.

How to Absorb Spirits

Retrieve Spirits

If you weren't able to capture a spirit of a boss or enemy you previously defeated, you can return to any shrine after obtaining the spirit-absorbing Blessed Gourd to collect their spirit.

Spirits Overview

One-Move Attacks

Spirits are essences of bosses or regular enemies that you have captured. You can then use their Spirit to transform into them and execute a single attack.

This is different from Transformations, which lets you transform into a boss and use their move for a short period, rather than a single attack.

List of All Spells

Requires Qi to Use

To use a Spirit, you need to fill up your Qi meter, found on the lower right corner of the screen.

Once you use a Spirit, you need to regenerate Qi again by fighting enemies. You can also rest at Shrines, but do note that this will make enemies respawn.

How to Recover Qi

Can Be Upgraded

Spirits can be improved further by upgrading them at Shrines. Doing so will reduce the Qi cost to use their move.

If you want to upgrade your Spirits. head at any Shrine and select Cultivate Spirits under Self-Advance.

Best Spirits to Use

Some Spirits outshine others in terms of improving your offense or providing you some utility in battle.
