From collecting lightning bolts in thunderstorms to gathering money and jelly from swarms of jellyfish, and even helping out some corrupted dragons, these events are some of the most useful experiences to help you collect resources and as a bonus, help illustrate the more whimsical nature of the game.
SPIRITFARER ABILITIES HOW TO
This has been one of my only problems with the entire game, but once you get into the right groove of cultivating resources, taking care of spirits, completing requests, it starts to become much easier.īesides teaching you how to craft specific materials, some spirits also let you access events that then let you collect specific materials. For some requests, you may be lucky and already be able to access the appropriate materials, while others take longer to create due to either not yet meeting the spirit that will teach you how or not being able to travel to an area with said materials. Spirits will usually request for things on the ship to be made or improved and most of the time you’ll have to figure out where to obtain and/or how to make some of the materials you need to do so. Living spaces for spirits, stations to turn raw materials into a more usable form, spaces to accumulate resources like food and animal-based materials, and more are all a big part of enhancing the ship. The core of Spiritfarer’s gameplay relies on collecting resources to expand and improve your ship, while also making sure to take care of the spirits who join you along the way. As the Spiritfarer, it’s Stella’s job to complete these requests while learning plenty of new abilities and crafting techniques along the way. These spirits have a number of requests before they’ll be ready to move on. In Spiritfarer, you play as Stella, a girl who has just become the new Spiritfarer, an individual who picks up stranded souls so they can acquire their true form and eventually pass on once they have accepted it’s their time to go.

Even if it turns out to not be the biggest indie of the year, I think it’s most definitely a must-play of 2020 and there are plenty of reasons why. Now it has received a surprise release, with a portion of the games media having been playing it for the past two weeks. At the 2019 Xbox E3 press briefing, the first indie game shown was a vibrant, whimsical, and well-animated title known as Spiritfarer by Thunder Lotus Games.
