Beginning
The first thing you have to do is to choose a difficulty level.
By default, the easiest level is at the top while the most challenging is at the bottom.
Your first step will be to use Pulse to activate nearby lanterns.
To do that, press the corresponding button (a hint will appear on the screen).
Then, follow the blue souls.
You should reach the spot shown in the picture.
Stand on the platform and then use Pulse.
This will pop fire up passage opposite you.
Approach it to trigger a cut-scene.
After that, you will learn the basics of combat.
Combat basics
On the PS4/PS5 console, use R1 and R2 to attack the enemy.
The enemy is very easy to defeat - you shouldn’t have much trouble.
R2 activates a powerful attackthat deals much more damage and knocks enemies off-balance.
However, these attacks are much slower.
They work best against a larger group of opponents or a single, more powerful enemy.
They are near the tree.
Your task will be to use Pulse near them to light them up.
Go to each altar and light it up using Pulse.
Then go to the middle of the room - you will find a platform.
The runic characters should piece together.Head to the platform and use Pulse to kick off the passage.
You should now be able to exit the Ruins.
Head further - go under the collapsed tree to activate the next cut-scene.
1st Rot
Now you will have to find new friends - Rot.
They are small, black creatures hidden throughout the forest.
Use Pulse near the stones shown in the picture, then collect your first Rot!
2nd Rot
The next Rot will appear near smaller stones in the middle of the forest.
To get there, you have to do a double jump - the path is blocked by larger rocks.
3rd Rot
Another Rot will appear as you go up the hill.
You should see an altar on the right.
Use Pulse to discover Rot.
4th Rot
The fourth Rot will be located on the other side of the hill.
You will have to walk on a wooden log.
Then approach the stones close to the tree and lanterns.
Use Pulse to discover Rot.
Climb the stone platforms that are in the water and walk behind the waterfall.
There you will find a small altar that will contain the last Rot.
Then, use Rot’s help by aiming for the red flower to erase the area.
when you land done this, press the Pulse button and head up the hill.
After reaching the top, you will have to fight more opponents.
However, the most standard way to gain Courage is to attack enemies.
Courage Drops will fall out of them - pick them up with Pulse.
Then you will be able to use the Rot abilities.
Use the Rot abilities to purify the forest.
This will get rid of the corruption and let you pull up the next location.
After clearing the forest, you will need to move a small block near the wall.
Use Rot to do that.
Then go to the left side and place the block in the spot shown in the picture.
Lower it and then jump to the next level.
Call Rot to lift the sculpture and place it back to its spot.
Then jump to the other side of the hill and head ahead.
You will face the first boss, Sprout.
you could read more about Sprout on a separate page of the guide.
