Alternative Routes

Secret Areas and Alternative Routes

Marika’s world is full of secret areas—some easy to find, and some less so. Secret alcoves may contain bonus items, such as rare elixirs and gold.

More importantly, larger areas may contain entirely different routes. In the first few areas you may see doors that Marika cannot reach. As she gains additional abilities, she will be able to reach them. Alternative routes count as entirely different areas in the high score table, so these routes will go a long way toward helping Marika gain experience.

Once Marika enters an alternative route, none of her actions in the original area count toward the Rogue Rating rank—neither for or against.

Tip! In the first two chapters, every area (except outposts) have two alternative routes. In the third chapter, every area (except outposts) has one alternative route.

Exception! One special area breaks this trend by having an extra alternative route! Marika will learn where it is eventually…
