Athena may also be found dropped by enemies on Hard and Legendary. Like the Ares stone, the Athena stone can accrue its bonus, giving Rygar the needed help on Hard and Legendary modes (not so much on Legendary, but at least on Hard). In addition, Athena can also be found inside a room barred by a metal "tackle" box in the Elysion Shrine. The Athena Stone is found in the same area as Ares on Normal difficulty. After this, all Ares stone locations become Pneuma.Īthena, Goddess of Wisdom - Increases defence beyond base defence value Easy and Normal difficulty. Ares may also be found dropped by enemies on Hard and Legendary, and is a reward in Necromondio on Easy. It's quite possible to possess Ares of a very high value if you replay the game (or One World mode, Labyrinthos on Normal) enough times. This means that each one you pick up will add its bonus to your existing Ares stone. Strike apart one of the statues in the courtyard stairs that lead up to the Hades Execution statue. First found on World 4 Labyrinthos on Normal, inside the courtyard past the beach entrance. These two stones occupy the same location, except on different difficulty levels.Īres, God of War - Increases attack beyond base attack value Normal difficulty. The only exception is with Hestia and Eirene. When you pick up a stone from a preset location, that statue or rubble will have Pneuma the next time you smash it. All mystic stones are unique and can only be picked up once.
Plus you want to collect them all anyway to have them available for harder difficulty levels. All are indispensable on Hard or Legendary difficulties. Mystic Stone - As opposed to "Mystic Heroes", these 25 stones actually do something and enhance Rygar's already impressive abilities. Rygar will need the tackle ability from World 6 before he may overcome these obstacles. An unknown energy passes through the circuitry on the cube's surface. Metal "Tackle" Box - These are large boxes made of a strange alloy. Like the pot switch, this switch will be linked to obstacles that bar Rygar, but they cannot be dealt with until after World 4 is cleared. Rygar needs the stomp skill to use this switch. Stomp Switch - For the new Rygar, this switch resembles a giant metal pedastel. Rygar will find many of these in his journey and they will be the immediate objective in most stages. Pot Switch - From the first Rygar, the pot switch is magically attenuated to the ley lines of Argus and will unlock magick seals that bar intruders. Some gold statues holding the optional Diskarmour skills will be out of the way, but they are not necessary for finishing the game. Gold statues are hard to miss, since they are necessary to finishing the game (mostly).
These statues hold crucial skills and moves that allow Rygar a greater degree of mobility and improvement. For some reason, Rygar doesn't scrape up the pieces like American pennies on the floor. They are less common that Silver Statues, but their contents remain the same throughout all difficulties (except the one holding Persephone). Their contents vary the least depending on the difficulty level chosen any Mystic Stones from Silver Statues will become Pneuma when struck apart during a replay.īlack Statue - Statue made of a darker metal, and is more difficult to see while exploring. Silver Statue - Statue that may hold a variety of items, and are usually quite common.
Each unlocks a piece of music, a picture, or a movie in the Gallery. Sound Chunk, Statuette, Relief - There are several and they are fairly randomised. Some give hints but most deal with the story. Tablet, Letter, Scroll - Various background material that makes for excellent bathroom reading.
If you clear the current play, you can inherit this value on the next game. Holy Shield - Increases Rygar's defence by one, up to 49.
Holy Sword - Increases Rygar's attack by one, up to 49. Try not to die unless you can't help it (like during the last boss on Legendary). You can only carry one, regardless of difficulty.
This is a rare item, so use it only when necessary.Ĭaduceus - Revives Rygar with full life and icol if killed. This can be carried by Rygar as inventory. This is a rare item, so use it only when necessary. The effects of this item are immediate when they are picked up.Īmbrosia - Restores all life. A blue flame dropped by enemies or found in rubble. The bag restores more life than the goblet. This item's effects are immediate when picked up. Blue sfaira adds 10 points, and purple sfaira allots 100.
