Sea of Stars Beginner's Guide: How to Master Your Powers as a Solstice Warrior

Sea of Stars is a beautiful turn-based role-playing game that adds an element of real-time mechanics to its combat, giving players a chance to much more influence the outcome.

Developed by Sabotage Studio, Sea of Stars tells the story of two Children of the Solstice who train to become Solstice Warriors to rid the world of the dangers brought by The Fleshmancer. The game features a lot of mechanics and elements that can catch some players off guard.

Fortunately, this beginner's guide helps newcomers understand the basic elements and features of Sea of Stars and how to master their powers as Solstice Warriors. Keep these tips and tricks in mind when journeying through the game's campaign.

Don't Forget To Explore

As is customary with role-playing games, the world of Sea of Stars is littered with hidden secrets and off-path treasures that players can find. There are plenty of chests that contain armor, accessories, coins, and weapons scattered throughout the lands, according to CBR.

This means that taking the time to explore other paths can be rewarded for their efforts with powerful equipment or useful items. Other than these, simply exploring the world is a reward in itself as Sea of Stars also has a beautiful world.

Make Use of the Abacus

In Sea of Stars, there is an item called the Abacus that is immensely useful, especially in the early stages of the game. This is because when you have one of your characters equipped with it, you can see the health points of all non-boss enemies.

This lets you strategize your attacks and spells better to make sure that you are as efficient as possible in taking down foes. For example, if you see that one particular enemy can be killed with just a basic attack, you won't need to waste mana in using a powerful spell.

Always Check Your Map

There is no convenient to-do list or quest marker that players can view in Sea of Stars to remind themselves of where they need to go next. And unlike other role-playing games, such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, there is no indicator for where you should go each step of the way, said DigitalTrends.

Sea of Stars instead features a star symbol that marks the general direction in which you should be going to progress the story. You can view this by opening your map from the main menu, so checking in every now and then helps to keep you from getting lost.

Camp and Prepare Food Often

Players also have the ability to camp in the overworld as well as in some areas and you can cook food during this time. At the beginning of the game, you will only have access to basic recipes that produce simple food.

However, as you progress through Sea of Stars' story and find hidden chests, you can get more recipes that produce better and more efficient food, according to IGN.
