: Unlike the first game, you can now buy and sell items at bazaars and merchants. Keep a close eye on your gear's durability; weapons and armor can break and will need to be repaired at a smith.

: There are 18 side quests available. Some of these are interconnected; for example, solving a quest in one city might provide a key item or clue for a quest in another.

: Your primary goal is to find three artifacts— The Eye, The Weapon, and The Rune —each hidden in a different city.

: When confronted by ghosts demanding payment, it is often simpler and faster to fight them rather than pay the "soul toll".

Combat in the sequel is expanded with more non-linear progression, though some core tactics remain essential for high-difficulty modes.

: The choices you make and quests you complete throughout the story will lead to one of several different endings .

: Just as in the first game, your healing spell is your most vital tool. Prioritize upgrading it early, as it remains the most effective way to sustain yourself during long encounters, especially on Grandmaster mode .
