Did you ever think, how can I customize my playstyle more? How can I survive a killing blow and come back to get that last itty bit of health off the boss left instead of restarting the whole fight? Well, that my friends, is where amulets come into play. Amulets are a way to change your playstyle in the game. Want to build for health and survivability? You can do that! Want to explore a long-ranged combat focus? You can do that too! Want those beautiful swords to do even more damage? Yup, you guessed it you can do that too. [b]There are 41 total amulets in the game, 37 in the main game, and 4 from the[url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2751000/view/4221643401510237267?l=english] latest Divine Trials update[/url]. [/b] Sadly, you cannot equip them all at once; you will have to be selective in choosing which amulets you want to equip and when. The limiting factor, outside of Sargon’s neck muscles, are amulet holders. Starting with three, you’ll find up to nine more on your journey through Mount Qaf, allowing for more combinations. Important to note is that some amulets require more amulet holders than others. For example, “Dragon King” will cost you three slots (this is my absolute must-have because it protects you against a killing blow and brings you back to life). But, “Blessing” only costs one slot which increases your max health. Let’s stay on “Dragon King” for a moment, since it’s my favorite. This wonderful amulet can be found by the Moon Gatherer in the Sacred Archives when accepting his side quest. Or, another favorite of mine “Hardiness” which decreases environmental damage. This one you can buy from the handy dandy Mage in the [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2751000/view/4275691671055474085?l=english]Haven[/url]! You can find amulets and amulet holders all throughout your journey through Mount Qaf. Some might just be hidden a bit more or protected better than others.

[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45058788/754cdcd9ba39c1adc24d3003339ffd768f05c15c.png[/img] My build consists of: [list] [*] [b]Blessing[/b]: For an increase to Max Health [*] [b]Dragon King[/b]: One-time protection from a killing blow by restoring a GREAT amount of health (we will talk about upgrades in a second) [*] [b]Ard’s Fortune[/b]: Slightly increases the Time Crystals dropped from defeating enemies [*] [b]Ecbatana Seal[/b]: Collect Time Crystals from a distance [/list] For me and my play style I like to have a lot of health, and some help with collecting Time Crystals to later upgrade and unlock more amulets. However, before I fight a boss ([i]trust me you’ll be able to start to pick up on where a boss fight will be[/i]) I will stop by the Wak-Wak tree and switch out my Time Crystal amulets for damage amulets. Like, Divine Spear which creates a laser beam dealing damage while using the Shadow teleport. The Ayyar Amulet can be found on the second story of the vertical passage in the Catacombs that's lined with spitting doors. This area can also be identified by the three vertical Medusa-like heads on your map.

Our very own blacksmith of the gods, Kaheva, can upgrade amulets for you at a small cost of Time Crystals. So, be sure to by her forge on your visit to the Haven. Oh, and while you’re there give the Divine Trials an attempt to see if you can get one of the new amulets. Okay, that’s it for me on this topic. Byeeeee, Your Prince of Persia Community Team
