The First Step

The game begins after the opening cutscene where your first task is to discover the entrace to the Sunforge Temple. This first quest revolves around the tutorial section where you will learn the basic and some advanced mechanics for both movement and combat. First, follow the basic movement controls such as moving around and controlling the camera, move forward and then make a right, going up the steps until you reach the end where a prompt message will appear. This shows you a guide on how to teleport by using a blue active Phase Node.

On the other side, you'll encounter your first enemies which are a couple of Crystal Crawler, this is where you can test out the basic controls for combat. If you feel like killing more of these crawlers to test out the controls, just wait a few seconds, and more Crystal Crawlers will spawn from its nest. Continue forward going up the stairs and you'll arrive at a large room where you'll see an Earth Aberrant. You can easily take out this enemy with a combo of light and heavy attacks - once the single enemy is killed, continue following the path ahead.

Head down the steps where you'll find yourself at an open area where you'll encounter another enemy, the Crimson Swordsworn. If you want to test out your skills in fighting to familiarize yourself, go on ahead and fight the enemy, but you can also just avoid fighting the enemy, if you did go down the stairs, go back up and then turn right, you'll see a blue Phase Node that you can use to teleport to the other side. If you didn't go down the stairs, just turn left by the steps. When you get across, you'll see some gaps, approach it and you'll be prompted a guide to press the corresponding button to jump over gaps. On the other end, there are some enemies that can be easily killed - clear the area and then turn right.

As you move forward, you'll be given another prompt on how to toggle into a sprint. Head up the set of stairs until you see two Earth Aberrant enemies blocking your path. The one at the far end has its back facing you, so if you approach it, by pressing the button indicated on your end, you can execute a takedown which is a combat move that instantly kills an enemy. Continue forward and you'll come across a large arena where you will need to defeat all enemies in order to progress - don't forget that you can evade to avoid getting hit.

Upon clearing the area, a prompt message will appear on how to use Life Stones which is a conusmable item that regenerates your health when used. You currently have three, so you are free to use it if you need or want to, but also keep in mind that any extra green orbs that drop from enemies will restore the number of your Life Stones. Next, head to the archway on the left to continue finding the entrace of the Sunforge Temple, where along the way you will encounter three enemies, x2 Crimson Swordsworn and a Crimson Protector.

Be careful with this encounter since the Crimson Protector will provide buffs to its allies, making them invulnerable against your attacks. This buff is indicated with a blue aura, be sure to focus and kill the Crimson Protector first before shifting your attention towards the two Swordsworn. After clearing the area, go straight and up the stairs to grab the shield. You can now block by pressing the corresponding button. Turn around and go back down, and a Crimson Marksman will spawn at the center. Be ready to put your shield up since this enemy will shoot you - more enemies will then spawn after killing the singular enemy.

When you're done, go through the passage on the right and jump across the gap. On the other side, you'll find more enemies ahead. There are two Crimson Marksman enemies and a Crimson Swordsworn, again, be ready to put your shield up to block the attacks from the marksman. Once you've killed all enemies, go straight ahead and continue up the steps to the right to reach the next area where you'll be given anew guide on how to execute a shield throw.

By now, you have all the basic tools and guides for combat in general, use what you've learned to defeat all the enemies in the area. Be careful of the Crimson Marksman that's positioned on a platform outside of the arena, you can use shield throw to take it down. Once you've killed all enemies, teleport via the blue Phase Node that's above the arena to reach the top. There will be a group of Earth Aberrant enemies here which you will need to kill in order to proceed further.

At the top of the steps, you'll find the Crimson Judicator and you will be given another combat tutorial on Red Power Attacks which are attacks that cannot be blocked or parried. You will need to evade them to avoid getting knocked down and receiving a large amount of damage. Defeat the Crimson Judicator and then open the chest that's on the left side, beside the previously blocked archway - ignore the steps on the right since there's just a pack of Kraven Spawnling enemies, go straight ahead towards the entrance of the Sunforge Temple.

Boss Battle: High Lord Phalanxar

A short cutscene will trigger when you approach the entrance and the first boss will appear, which is the High Lord Phalanxar. This boss moves quite slow and wields a large hammer which makes it easier for you to move around and even read any incoming attacks. Inspite of being able to go around in circles, you will need to watch out for the Red Power Attack which again can only be evaded, not blocked or parried. The majority of his attacks are composed of singular and/or double swings, as well as a leaping attack where he lands with an overhead attack in a vertical direction. Since he carries both a heavy weapon and armor, for each attack, you have a small window to put in a few attacks before he fully recovers.

When you see Phalanxar flash in red, make sure to move away from him since he will release a ring of fire around him. You'll also see that there is a circle on the ground that will glow which indicates the location of where the flames will appear. After Phalanxar executes this attack, the ground will remain engulfed in flames so be sure to not walk towards it or even dodge towards the flames. Do not get greedy, time your attacks right, and be patient.

Occasionally, he also drops green orbs that you can absorb to replenish your HP in case you are running low on Life Stones. Survive and bring his health down to at least 30% to trigger a short cutscene - Phalanaxar will then smash the ground, causing the both of you to fall down into the lower section of the Temple. This temporarily ends the battle against him and you'll find yourself inside the Sunforge Temple.

The Sunforge Temple

After that encounter with the High Lord Phalanxar, you've now arrived at the Sunforge Temple, it's just not how you would expected it, but you've arrived and you will need to work your way to reach the top. Your objective is to further investigate the temple and to find valuable Valorian Cache. Upon gaining control of Orin, turn left and head to the back of the room to find a chest that is being guarded by some Kraven Spawnling. On the right, you'll find another chest that contains a Morphstone, which are unidentified loot that appear in 5 different rarities. At the opposite side, across the large cube, there is another chest there that is guarded by more creatures.

There is a lot of enemies here and chests, so be sure to check every corner as you work your way up by using the stairs and by teleporting via the Phase Nodes until you come across a Bronze Animus. This enemy moves slow so you can attack him in between his attacks, just be careful of his red power attack. Once you've defeated the enemies, head towards the path the goes around the left and defeat the Crimson Judicator, as well as the Crimson Swordsworn before opening the chest at the end - go back to where you fought the Bronze Animus and this time, walk up the stairs that leads through a small door, defeat the enemies and continue forward.

You'll then counter two more Bronze Animus enemies that are guarding the path ahead. Try to lure out one first to avoid fighting two of them. Head down the stairs, straight ahead, and you'll trigger another tutorial on how to use Soulshatter. This combat mechanic allows you to convert a portion of the enemy's HP into building up Soulshatter. To identify this, you will see a white outline that appears on the health bar of the nemey, when you see this, press the corresponding button - in order to continue further make sure to Soulshatter at least three enemies.

Next, head towards the left side of the room to locate another chest and then go towards the circular path that's on the right side around the lava, kill all of the enemies to reach the other side of the room. Now, take out the two Bronze Animus enemies at the end of the path and keep moving further until you reach another room where you will encounter a Crismon Honor Guard at the center. You will be given another prompt on how to parry enemy attacks, where if the parry connects, it will temporarily stun the enemy, giving you a short window to attack or execute a takedown.

After defeating the Honor Guard, you can continue towards the door on the left, or head to the top of the stairs to open the chest. After you decide to grab the chest, continue deeper into the Sunforge Temple as you fight through more enemies. Eventually, you will reach a circular area that has a sunflare orb at the center. Approach it and activate it to trigger a gauntlet, you will need to survive the waves of enemies until the countdown is over (0:45s). Take note that the more enemies you kill, the better the loot you obtain - when this is done, walk through the portal that is at the back of the room to complete this area and to fight against the first official boss.

The Guardian

You'll arrive at the innermost section of the temple where The Guardian resides. Head forward and you'll be prompted another guide regarding Perilous Attacks. Perilous Attacks can be parried which stuns an enemy for a long period of time. However, you must be precise with parrying since blocking this type of attack will stagger you and makes you vulnerable to additional attacks. When you're ready approach the open arena to trigger a cutscene.

This is your first boss fight against The Guardian, Solaris. The battle against Solaris takes place through a relatively straight forward attack pattern, as opposed to certain other Bosses. Solaris is unique in that his health bar protected by a powerful barrier, in which the player must first eradicate before being able to damage him. Fortunately, Solaris' attack pattern remains identical during his shielded and unshielded form.

When fighting Solaris, remain close to him for the majority of the battle. He usually alternates between regular, telegraphed Slash attacks and Laser attacks, and although he is capable of performing a Leap Strike, he will not execute it often as you are already within his proximity. The trade off to this tactic is that you may get his by Solaris' Laser Attack which is executed in a horizontal, sweeping motion, however the damage is not lethal and being able to dish out constant damage, while eliminating his usage of the Leap Attack makes this an effective approach. Throughout the battle, stack up as much damage on Solaris as possible while evading incoming slashes.

The one occasion where you shall back away from Solaris is when he levitates to perform his Laser Barrage Attack. Start running away from him once he levitates to stay out of range of his lasers. Remember never to stay directly below Solaris as that is where foes will receive maximum damage from the lasers. These lasers also leave the ground burning for a few seconds where it lands, so staying out of range and getting some breathing room is the ideal strategy to deal with this attack. If you spot an opportunity, maintain pressure by performing a throw shield strike.

Repeat the cycle by approaching him in melee once again after he lands and damaging him until you finish him off . Once you've defeated Solaris, you'll have Orin remove its eye and absorb its power before the temple starts to collapse - Orin awakens and you'll find yourself in the Sanctum.
