Lightness Skills Explained

Late-Game Traversal Tools

Most unlockable Lightness, or Movement Skills, function as late-game traversal tools. Players who reach high enough exploration levels in a region can use these skills to move more efficiently across that region, either by enhancing sprinting or by gaining flying abilities.

Fundamental Movement Skills

The remaining Lightness or Movement Skills consist of the basic jump, dash, and dive abilities that are essential for exploring different areas of the game. These skills are available from the start, with the exception of Safe Mighty Drop, which is unlocked by clearing the Mysterious Outpost.
