Talents | Abilites Styx: Shards of Darkness Guide
Last update: 07 July 2017
Amber vision
Styx has a special ability that allows him to observe the surroundings from the perspective of possible threats and locating points of interest, and secrets. It is free to activate, so you can use it as much as you want. After the ability is activated, enemies are marked in red, allies in green elements that can be picked up (mission items, ingredients and crafting materials, usable items and collectibles) in yellow. Elements that you can interact with and make noise (e.g. smaller pieces of furniture) are displayed in blue.
This ability can be upgraded in the Perception tab. To learn about details, see Abilities.
Cloning
Cloning allows you to make a simple copy of your character, which you can then use to perform simple actions, such as opening the door or distracting an opponent. The duration of such a clone is limited. Also, a clone cannot perform certain actions connected with picking up objects and placing them in specific spots. However, since it does not consume much amber, you can use it as much as you want.
Odnowienie
This is a special ability that you first have to unlock. Thanks to this you can, after you have created a clone and directed it into any location, turn it into Styx. The usefulness of the skill stems from the fact that you can send a clone whenever you want to make a risky move. After it has succeeded, you can change the clone into Styx and continue from there.
Invisibility
Invisibility is Styx's main ability
Invisibility is your main ability. You will have to use it quite often. Unfortunately, it consumes a lot of amber, which is why it is a good idea to upgrade it and lower its amber cost. By default, Styx can still be smelled out by the dwarfs. Also, he makes sounds, as a result of which he can be tracked and captured. Also, invisibility does not allow you to escape opponents after you have activated the ability near them.
