To recruit animal companions, first defeat Hecate, the opening guardian, in five separate encounters. During these clashes, deploy the Shovel twice and Pickaxe twice.
Unlocking Essentials
Additionally, rescue one spirit using the Peace Tablet. Upon fulfilling these prerequisites, Hecate grants the Familiar Spirits’ Faith enchantment, requiring two Nectar and one Lotus to activate.
Successful casting produces a Witch’s Delight – a biscuit crucial for taming creatures. Craft extra Delights using Beastloved Morsels, needing Stardust and Nectar. Stardust costs 600 bones from the Broker, limited to single purchases nightly.
Raki – Strategic Corvid Ally
After multiple runs with Frenos, encounter Raki in Erebus’ fountain chamber. Initiate interactions repeatedly before offering the raven a Witch’s Delight.
Combat Mechanics
This black-feathered partner enhances critical strike probabilities by 4% while pecking adversaries for 5 damage and applying vulnerability marks. Its material-finding prowess boosts discovery rates for Stone and Metal deposits vital for gear progression.
The familiar’s triple-damage critical multiplier – exceeding standard game mechanics – makes its statistical boost particularly potent. Enemy marking creates tactical advantages during skirmishes.
Delight Production System
Creating additional treats involves strategic timing. The Morsel recipe mirrors crop cultivation, requiring passage of in-game time through expeditions, social interactions, or fishing. Acquire extra Stardust via Chaos Trials unlocked after evolving three curses, completing zone challenges for rewards.
