When Rynn and Arokh are given a new quest or map location, a description
of the entry will appear in the upper-left of the screen with either a
journal or map icon next to it. When Rynn picks up new items or gold,
the item description will also appear in this list. Open the Items Menu
(press the SELECT button) to see any new items, quests, or map locations.
See the “Items Menu” on page 13.

Each time Rynn or Arokh takes damage, the blood force in the glass drops. If
it empties, Rynn or Arokh collapses and the game is over. A white flash of the
health glass tells you that one of the pair has just been attacked. A blue flash
indicates that health is being restored, usually by a magical spell.

Press the R2 button during combat to lock onto a target. A yellow spinning
aura will appear around the locked target. Use Target Lock with Arokh to hit a
targeted enemy with flame or other dragon magic. Use it with Rynn to target
a specific enemy during all forms of combat. Rynn or Arokh will always face
the locked target, and all turn controls become sidestep (left/right) controls
while targeted.

As Rynn gains combat experience, the meter fills. When it reaches the maximum,
Rynn moves up one experience level and wins a skill point. Use the skill point
to raise the level of one of Rynn’s skills. See “Skills” on page 16.

Mana is the force that powers Rynn’s spells and power is what delivers Arokh’s
fire. Arokh can replenish his power from within. But Rynn must find and
drink mana in order to recover it. As mana or power is used up, it drains
the Mana/Power glass.
Tip: To replenish Arokh’s power, stop attacking for a few moments.
• Find Half Mana or Full Mana to restore Rynn’s mana.
• When Rynn is equipped with the bow or magical weapon, a number appears
in the Mana/Power Glass showing how many arrows or charges remain.
• Later in the quest, Rynn can increase her magical skill, which will restore her
mana slowly over time. This rate will increase as her magic skill level increases.
