Tools

Throughout the game, your characters will find special items called Tools. Tools are used on the field screens (except the World Map) by pressing the Square button, and are used to solve puzzles or perform other actions. Each character has 3 Tools that are unique to them, and with the exception of the Radar, the Tools are mandatory to find before you can complete the game.

Tindercrest A highly flammable Crest Graph that Virginia can toss. Press Square to throw it in front of you, and it travels in a straight line. Can be used to burn things, light candles, stun certain objects, heat up metals, unthaw frozen things, etc. Gob's Hideout
Galecrest A Crest Graph that allows Virginia to travel short distances by floating above the ground. Press Square to start Virginia moving nonstop in a straight line. Use this to jump over pits that are one space wide, or simply to run through rooms quicker. Nidhogg Pass Part 3
