Forspoken: Quick beginner's guide

1. Scan the environment: the main character of Forspoken can use Cuff Scan to mark nearby interactive objects and enemies. Use this ability to have a better orientation.
2. Enemies' invulnerability: some enemies will be immune to a certain type of magic. As soon as you notice that the enemy is resisting attacks, change the type of magic.
3. Mana Nodes: In various parts of the world of Athia, you will find short pillars of white light rising from the ground. When you notice them, get off the path and collect Mana points, which are required for developing the heroine's skills.
4. Autoloot: Forspoken has the option for autolooting. Enabling it means you no longer have to manually pick up items or crafting ingredients - all you have to do is to run right over them and Frey will collect them automatically.
5. The Bellfries: As you explore the world map of Forspoken, keep an eye out for the tall golden-colored towers. You can use them to scan a nearby area and discover additional activities.
