Echo of Kahli Guide
In “Echo of Kahli,” every playthrough presents an opportunity to delve deeper into Love and Deepspace. The Ability Mastery, Influence System, Faction Assist, and understanding of nodes are crucial elements that shape your journey. Grasping these concepts will empower you to make strategic decisions and unlock hidden aspects of the game.
Ability Mastery
Each playthrough grants you Mastery points which can be invested in upgrading your Mastery trees. There are three types of Mastery:
- Battle Mastery: Offers permanent combat buffs.
- Explore Mastery: Eases exploration by providing bonuses related to nodes, boss fights, and action points.
- Observe Mastery: Enhances your Influence points gain and offers improvements when visiting different nodes.
Recommendation: Prioritize maxing out your Observe Mastery. The final upgrade reveals hidden nodes, particularly Encounters where you can obtain Keepsake Items to unlock Secret Endings. Level 4 is needed for Faction routes, and level 10 for the Kahli route.
Tip: If you aim to complete the Challenge difficulty, focus on upgrading your Battle Mastery to the maximum level before attempting. Also, remember that you can complete all objectives on Easy mode, which saves time when hunting for Cases, Items, and Endings.
Influence System
The Influence System allows you to collect influence for the following factions:
- Tanakahli (green)
- Academy (blue)
- Rangers (orange)
Gaining influence unlocks Faction Assist, specific locations, and unique endings. Strategically accumulating influence with a faction can significantly impact your game’s outcome.
Faction Assist
Faction Assist is a skill accessible during combat, identifiable by a smaller, yellow-highlighted button. It’s usable after its cooldown period and varies based on the faction. Each Mastery corresponds to one faction and has three levels, activated when your influence with that faction reaches 20, 80, and 150.
Understanding Nodes
Nodes are pivotal points on the game map, and they come in multicolored, single-colored, and white-colored forms.
- Multicolored Nodes:
- Battle: Engage in combat to earn influence for a random faction.
- Crisis: Leads to crises that may involve multiple factions.
- Encounter: Random interactions that can be faction-specific or not.
- Recreation: Access faction-specific mini-games.
- Single-colored Nodes:
- Battle: Fight to earn influence for a specific faction.
- Crisis: Trigger faction-specific crises, often involving combat.
- Encounter: Engage in specific interactions tied to a faction.
- Recreation: Play mini-games unique to a faction, earning gear or items.
- White-colored Nodes:
- Lucky: Receive free items or gear, or play “Kahli’s Scratch” β a coin bingo game.
- Shop: Purchase items and refreshable gear.
- Universal Encounter: Access encounters that provide universal Keepsakes.
Recommendation: For efficiency, prioritize Multicolored over Single-colored nodes and seek out Encounters before Crises or Battles. Encounters offer the greatest variety and potential rewards.
