Upgrade Your Arsenal

Sentinel Shrine

Resources such as Gold, Rubies, and Wraithstones are used to upgrade your arsenal of weapons and your shield, making them more powerful. Seek out Sentinel Shrines throughout the chapters to upgrade your kit.

Demonic Essences increase the threshold of your maximum health, the maximum ammo of a weapon class, or your maximum armor. These resources are obtained by defeating leaders or bosses throughout the story.

Life Sigils are items you can collect that prevent you from dying and restarting the chapter at the last checkpoint. You can only hold a maximum of three Life Sigils throughout the campaign.

Life Sigils can be carried over between chapters, and you won't be able to pick up new ones if you've already reached the maximum amount you can carry.

Chapter Completion

Chapter Completion

You can revisit a chapter to collect any resources and collectibles you missed without any consequences. You can finish the game normally, then return to chapters that aren't yet 100% complete.
