Understand grace
Official guidance explains recovery at grace and the return of most ordinary enemies. Treat resting as a route reset.
Plan rune recovery
Death drops carried runes; dying again before retrieval loses them. Editorial exercise: plan both the approach and escape.
Use guidance without rushing
Grace indicates important directions. Mark a difficult encounter and explore elsewhere when needed.
Practice actions
Rehearse locking on, dodging, guarding and stamina management against familiar enemies. Check weapon requirements in game.
Know the limits
Spirit summons have conditions and differ from multiplayer. This covers foundations, not every expansion or current build balance.
