What each player can do here

P1 · Player 1
  • Each player picks a fighting style: close-up melee, ranged attacks from the back, or heavy armour to soak hits.
P2 · Players 2–4
  • A second player on the same machine joins with their own controller and shares the one screen; up to four can play locally or online. Wander too far from the leader and the game teleports you back.
  • In co-op a downed teammate can be revived by standing near them, and the team only loses a life when everyone is down.

If your skill levels differ: Keep close to anyone who goes down so you can revive them.Our suggestionBased on the role split above: the steadier player takes the melee front, and a newer player hangs back with a bow or wears heavy armour. How to split the roles

Where people tend to fall

  • Many fights are in tight rooms near drops; Game8 suggests the Wind Horn or Light Feather to push mobs back.

Extras and notes

  • Secret mission Underhalls: near the start, at the foot of a big staircase, two shields hang on a wall. One of them (IGN says the blue one) opens a hidden room with the map.
