Dont hit the cute seals!
Among the new features, the biggest one is the capacity of exploring under the waters of Fontaine.
it’s possible for you to easily find the statue by following theArchon Quest.
First, in this new swimming mode characters use theAquatic Stamina.
This works on the surface as well as underwater.
Since Aquatic Stamina only works in Fontaine,the areas where you could dive are limited.
Once in the underwater level, the basic commands change.
All you’re gonna wanna do is to swim until youre able to submerge.
In case the area is too shallow to dive, the game will let you know.
Xenochromatic Blubberbeasts ability
This ability is taken from some cute seals with a sign above their heads.
It can also be used as a sonar just like the Echoing Conch.
Xenochromatic Hunters Ray ability
Once absorbed, this ability allows you to throw blades of water at enemies.
To take this skill, you oughta find rays with the skills sign above them.
Holding the command allows you to aim your blades.
Hunters Ray ability is necessary tocut weak sections of Fontemer Seagrassthat can be found in the underwater level.
Xenochromatic Armored Crabs ability
Find little crabs with the skills sign to absorb this skill.
Holding the command allows you to charge the attack which becomes a stronger shockwave when released.
Recovery Orbs
Around the underwater level, you could find three orange fish circling in certain places.
These are called Recovery Orbs.
By touching them, you recover HP as well as Aquatic Stamina.
Echoing Conch
These conchs are found in some areas of Fontaines underwater level and they can be extremely useful.
When activated, they call your attention to a point of interest.
It might be part of a puzzle solution or a hidden treasure.
Water stream puzzles
One of the puzzles you end up finding involves redirecting streams that you find around Fontaine.
Not always, but most water stream puzzles involve interacting with a sphere, a water totem or both.
Ousia and Pneuma totems
Spread in the underground level, there are either Ousia or Pneumia totems.
Using an Ousia-oriented attack on a Pneumia-charged object and vice-versa either destroys the object or balances them.
In each fight, you better use one of the three Xenochromatic abilities.
Fighting these enemies not only rewards you with Precious chests but also completes achivements.
The enemy becomes invisible and swims around sending sound waves to hit you.
To defeat them, you oughta use the Xenochromatic Hunters Ray ability to throw water blades at them.
Eventually, they start charging an attack.
During this process, its possible to see they are linked.
Throw a water blade to break their link before the attack goes off.
Hitting it will also damage them.
Be ready to dodge it!
Otherwise, Ocean Circuit Judge doesnt take enough damage.
Have fun swimming around Fontaine!
