Weapons

Ori wields four distinct weapons, each unlocked through story progression or exploration. You can switch between them at any time using the weapon wheel (hold RB/R1).

#### 1. Spirit Edge (Sword)

Description: A fast, short-ranged melee weapon. Default attack. Combos into a 3-hit slash sequence. Charge attack (hold attack) does a powerful spinning slash that deals double damage.

Obtained: Automatically at the start of the game (after the prologue cutscene in Inkwater Marsh).

When Useful: Essential for early combat and breaking fragile objects. The charge attack can stagger enemies and interrupt attacks. Best for close-quarters fights.

Synergies/Upgrades: Combos well with the Catalyst Shard (reduces charge time) and Reckless Shard (increases melee damage but reduces defense). No weapon upgrades—damage scales with Spirit Light purchases in the ability tree.

Description: Ranged weapon that fires three arrows in a spread. Hold to charge for a single, more accurate arrow. Arrows can be aimed freely.

Obtained: Found in Inkwater Marsh – after the first escape sequence, enter the cave near the spirit well. The bow is on a pedestal protected by a simple puzzle.

When Useful: Excellent for sniping enemies from afar, hitting weak points, and triggering distant switches. Essential for mid-range combat.

Synergies/Upgrades: Pair with Arrow Shard (increases arrows fired) or Finesse Shard (increases ranged damage). The Spirit Arc can be upgraded later to Spirit Arc (Spread) via a Moki trade (see Collectibles).

Description: A heavy, slow melee weapon. Slam down on the ground to create a shockwave that damages enemies and breaks reinforced floor/wall blocks. Can also be used as a regular overhead smash.

Obtained: In Kwolok's Hollow – after defeating Kwolok's miniboss (the giant frog), you receive the hammer from a spirit tree. Alternatively, found in a secret room after the escape sequence.

When Useful: Breaking purple/earthen blocks, stunning large enemies, and dealing massive damage up close. The slam is great for crowd control.

Synergies/Upgrades: Works well with Vitality Shard (more health for close combat) and Bash Shard (knockback on impact). No direct upgrade; damage scales with Spirit Light.

Description: A boomerang-like projectile that returns to Ori. Can be thrown at multiple enemies and ricochets off walls. Hold to aim and release to throw; press again to recall it early.

Obtained: In Luma Pools – after completing the water mill puzzle and entering the area behind the waterfall. The star is on a pedestal.

When Useful: Ideal for hitting enemies around corners, multiple targets, and environmental puzzles (e.g., hitting multiple switches quickly). Good for maintaining distance while dealing damage.

Synergies/Upgrades: Combines well with Ricochet Shard (increases number of bounces) and Spirit Star Mastery skill (increase damage and speed). No physical upgrade.
