What are heirlooms?

Heirlooms are permanent, powerful pieces of equipment you can find throughout the kingdom, that permanently upgrade you in one way or another.
 
 
Some are found randomly in certain locations, some are always in the same spot. Some are given to you after completing the heirloom’s challenge, some are given to you after doing certain quests or tasks. You cannot lose them once obtained, including across heirs and threads, but they are not shared between save files.
 
 
Throughout heirloom challenges you may see orange or blue torches, which are guaranteed to drop meat or a potion.

In the next area, you will have to fight two skeletons while flamethrowers blast from above. Two spear maidens will spawn after them.
 
 

 
 
The next room has multiple platforms, and several static blades spawn in.

Location: It is found randomly in Citadel Agartha, in a tall room filled with lanterns.

Climb up the platforms until you reach the second spinning lantern. Spinkick off of it to reach the platform above you, then climb further up until you reach a loop of lanterns. Here you can spinkick through the gap to land on the platform, then spinkick through the top to continue on.
 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
In the next area you will need to do some platforming, then travel through a hallway and open doors while avoiding nightmares- which shoot a projectile at you whenever you attack.

The next room has a nightmare in the centre, and two lamp enemies spawn to the sides. Next, two soldiers enemies spawn, and finally two ember hatchets.
 
 

 
 
Finally, all you need to do is climb the steps up to the heirloom, and complete the challenge.

After that is more platforming with a lot of lanterns that you will need to spinkick, dash, and double jump around.
 
 

 
 

 
 
Lastly, you just need to climb upward by dashing and jumping across the platforms, and complete the challenge.

Next up is another arena with two platforms, with void doors between each area, which you can dash through. Two pupils spawn on either side of the arena. After killing one of them two yorbs will spawn, and after both pupils are dead a visionary will spawn at the top.
 
 

 
 
After that you will have to do more platforming with your void dashes and spinkicks. That’s all there is to say, really.
 
 

 
 

 
 
Lastly, you just need to dash over a few more platforms and complete the challenge.

Gilgamesh’s Anchor

 

 
 
Hold [Use] to activate Binding Stones.
 
 
Location: In the depths of Castle Hamson, after you defeat Cain.
 
 
Challenge: In the first room you will have to climb and spinkick upward until you reach the binding stone. Activate it and travel upward to continue. With the next binding stone you should not activate it all the way, so you have room to jump to the next.
 
 

 
 

 
 
Next, spinkick across the lanterns and move that binding stone as far as it will go. Wait underneath it until it moves back and continue on. Activate the next binding stone and spinkick across the lanterns, and either double jump up or wait for the stone to return to its original position to climb on it. With the next stone, move it as far down as it’ll go and walk on top of it until you reach the dead end, then wait for it to teleport back.
 
 

 
 
The next room simply needs you to hold longer than normal for the large binding stone to slowly rise up.
 
 

 
 
In the last room, use the binding stone to quickly travel up, and complete the challenge.
 
 

 
 
Usage: Currently only used in the ending sequence, to open up the basement and raise Castle Hamson up to the surface.

There are many ways to get up there, including but not limited to flying with house rules, dragon lancer’s flying joust, and comet form. The easiest way to get there without a specific weapon or talent is jumping off of the ledge to the right, which at most will need a single dash in the air.
