4% total if you get all 4 upgrades, and you'll deal 21 damage per swing (which can be increased to 31 using Fragile Strength)

Not only does each upgrade boost your damage, but each one counts as 1% completion. The extra health and soul storage is invaluable, and each full mask (and vessel) counts as 1% completion (if you get all 3 vessels and all 4 masks, you get 7% completion in addition to more survivability) Especially if you clear the path beforehand (most enemies don't respawn until you rest on a bench, so all that's left are the small weak ones). The Grey Mourner's mini-quest can be a massive pain, but it's worth it. Especially Descending Dark's i-frames and insane damage output (upwards of 88 per use if you have Shaman Stone and every shockwave hits). The abyss versions of each count as 1% extra completion (6% total for getting the base spells and their upgrades). Plus, you'll have much more maneuverability. You gain 2% per piece, for a total of 14% if all 7 are collected. These are all of the basic abilities you get (Mothwing Cloak, Mantis Claw, etc.), and half of them aren't even required to beat the game. These not only help boost the percentage, but can help you during the game: (Also selling relics whenever you get them is a great money-maker, which can help since you need to buy a few things for completion percentage)Ī short list of what to aim for, completion-wise. If not, go get those last few points (I had 96% when I got there, was a tad perturbed I had to hunt down more stuff) If you're at 100% or more, fight the final boss and pray you don't die. Being cocky is what leads to at least 85% of all deaths in every game.Īlso, visit the Temple of the Black Egg as soon as you unlock it, and read the tablet near the bench to gain the World Sense ability (shows completion percentage in your inventory). Knowing your own limitations can be helpful as well.
