Powerups
Different powerups can be found in certain areas that allow the seedling to explore more areas and help him complete his quest.
- Sword - The sword allows the seedling to attack enemies and bosses.
- Dark sword - Deals more damage.
- Ghost Sword - Swings like the sword, but can go through walls and is more powerful.
- Shield - Protects the seedling when moving.
- Light - Creates an aura of light around the seedling, making it easier to see in dimly lit areas.
- Fire - Repels but does not kill an enemy.
- Wand - Attacks weakly at enemies, but has a far range.
- Conch - Allows the seedling to swim in water.
- Penguin's Feather - Enables the seedling to swim up waterfalls.
- Ghost Spear - Attacks through walls with much more power than the sword.
- Dark Shield - Damages enemies on contact.
- Dark Suit - Damages enemies on contact, and enables the seedling to swim in lava.
- Fire Wand - Able to use both wand and fire power.
Bosses
- Shieldspire - It remains stationary and leaves an opening when the seedling stands directly in front of it.
- Times - Creatures of the Relic, made up of three parts. Swords circle around each as they move swiftly to attack the seedling. When all three are killed, they leave behind Fire.
- Totem of Lacste - Shoots targets at the seedling, signaled by a beam of light.
- Tentacled Beast - A large octopus-like creature in the water, the player must cut down all its tentacles while avoiding the whirlpools it creates.
- Lights - Activated by hitting a pillar, the lights circle the seedling.
- King of Fire - In a pit of lava, he fires two bats, then fireballs forming a semi-circle shape. The more he is hit, the faster the attacks.
- Owl - Activates rocks that descend quickly towards the seedling. It then travels in a counter-clockwise direction, dropping bombs.
