Spiritspeaking
Last updated 2025-03-20
Spiritspeaking is an Exploration mechanic in Natlan. It can be used by Iktomisaurs and Masters of the Night-Wind characters to scan Nightspirit Graffiti and Nightspirit Sigils, among other things.
Overview
While the active character is a Masters of the Night-Wind character or is indwelling an Iktomisaur, the Spiritspeaker state can be activated by holding the Charged Attack. In this state, the player will enter Aiming Mode, during which they can interact with certain objects within their field of vision. If such an interaction occurs, the Charged Attack will not fire.
The Spiritspeaker state can be activated in mid-air. The player character will hover in place, consuming 2.5 Phlogiston per second.
Spiritspeaking range varies across characters; Ororon's range is much longer than Citlali's, and slightly longer than an Iktomisaur's. This may be linked to their respective Charged Attack ranges.
Usage
Spiritspeaking can be used to:
- Scan Nightspirit Graffiti and Nightspirit Sigils.
- Interact with certain Phlogiston Engravings, such as on Ancient Inscribed Rings.
- Absorb Phlogiston from certain objects to boost jump height. This boost:
- Only affects the special high jump performed by Masters of the Night-Wind characters and Iktomisaurs, not regular jumping.
- Approximately doubles the character's jump height.
- Lasts for about 8 seconds or until the player performs a high jump — whichever happens first.
Tutorials
- Ancient Inscribed Rings...
It is said to be a type of Phlogiston Engraving made by people in the ancient past in imitation of dragon-tongue. Iktomisaurs and some Masters of the Night-Wind can activate the power within when in the "Spiritspeaker" state.
- How to Jump Good...
Iktomisaurs have light and graceful bodies, allowing them to leap up to high places. In addition, they can enter the Spiritspeaker state by Holding to Aim, absorbing Phlogiston from objects within their field of view and further empowering their next jump!
- Special Elemental Sight...
Iktomisaurs and tribespeople capable of Spiritspeaking have the ability to activate a unique form of Elemental Sight, which makes them keenly aware of things that are otherwise not so easily detected...
Trivia
- Spiritspeaking can also be used to temporarily paralyze the Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker's Radiant Reflections.
