This new ally can be strengthened using Dream Essence collected while holding the Book of Burdens. Use the Summoning Knife to summon the creature to wherever you are. Pick the creature's playstyle - should they stay behind you, stay on the other side of your foe, protect you, or patrol the room independently of you? Craft an arsenal of weapons, shields and spellcasting tools and equip them in either hand. Set up a healer with a ranged fire attack or a dual sword wielder to accompany you on your journeys.
