The protagonist ofthe story has many important features, one of which is their capacity to permanently increase certain stats by obtaining special items and completing certain puzzles.
In this guide, we will cover all the ways to permanently increase Rook’s stats, from their Health bar to additional skill points that players can collect throughout the world. Here’s how to unleash Rook’s full potential and destroy every enemy that stands in your way.
How To Increase Rook’s Health Bar
There are two ways to increase Rook’s total HP. One method requires players to find Evanuris altars, which are spread across the world. Once players have recovered the Lyrium Knife, they’ll be able to interact with these statues and solve a small puzzle.
Each statue completed will boost Rook’s health by 100, and there are a lot of statues spread across the entire game. Pay attention to the sound cue and look in the upper right corner of the screen, below the mini-map. A small icon will pop up there each time players are near treasure or altars.
