How do the sorcerer's even work?
I was reading boss strategies, and most of them basically boil down to "Sorcerer OP". So I went into the Yuan Cavern boss fight (the annoying centipede ♥♥♥♥♥) with all 5 villagers as sorcerers (from what the description says and what I've read, this should've increased the speed quite significantly)

So I go into the boss expecting a map-wide nuke within a minute, like I was reading about and.....nothing. Literally nothing. Not a single incantation chanted.

I tried various strategies. I tried attack command, I tried defense command, I tried letting them stand around doing nothing but chanting, I tried only bringing 2 and letting the other 3 villagers fight as woodcutters. I tried waiting 5 minutes (beyond the 3 min time limit). I tried waiting 10. I tried everything AND LITERALLY NOTHING HAPPENS.

What am I doing wrong here? How does the Sorcerer role even work? I made sure it was fully upgraded before doing any of this, and I'm getting absolutely no results whatsoever. Is it a glitch or am I just not understanding the role?

Either way, it's not automatic, when you have sorcerer assigned, you'll see a paper doll (shikigami) on top left of the screen in same area as tsuba guards. Once the doll is fully charged i think it becomes a bead and then you can select it with same key as you use to switch tsuba gears to release the attack, it one shots entire map of trash mobs and will take 3/4 to half health of any boss (especially if you use it when they're stunned).

Playing on Gamepass, FYI. Dunno if this is a glitch specific to that verson or what. Hopefully I don't have to wait until I have the money to buy it on steam, because that'll probably take awhile on my income. :winter2019sadyul:

THANK YOU!!!

The game really didn't say anything about it being manually activated, which is annoying, and I didn't even notice that shikigami charging in the corner while trying to figure it out. Really wish the game had a better tutorial for it, because the tutorial it **does** have seems to imply automatic activation (to me, at least)

Nonetheless, I looked for the paper doll in the corner and sure enough, there it was. Saw it fill up, tried activating it when it was full....AND IT ONE-SHOT KILLED THE CENTIPEDE ♥♥♥♥♥!!! (might not have if I didn't have the laterns lit, but I definitely still had time to hit her again if needed).

Now that I finally know how the sorcerer role works....all the other bosses are ♥♥♥♥♥♥ >:3

It literally does tell you straight up that you need to select the ability and activate it with R2, that's how the rest of us found out. You just probably spam clicked past all the tutorial prompts because you have ADHD.

bro actually skip the tutorial right after got Sorcerer class, tutorial told very carefully that Sorcerer need highest level upgrade and how to use shikigami very detail, try play again NG+ and receive Sorcerer class, assign role and stand next to them to see those tutorial

I did not skip the tutorial. I guess I just simply didn't remember it being so detailed since I didn't use the role right away.

But thanks for the unnecessary hostility, I guess? Don't know why you two want to be blocked so desperately, but w/e. :wololo:

FYI, you can always view the tutorials again if you are don't understand how a villager role works by pressing Start on Xbox Controller or equivalent => Tutorials => Gameplay and find what you need from there. You don't need to wait until you get the actual roles in NG+

In all my years of gaming, I have literally never needed to reread a tutorial even once.

So of course I don't even think of the possibility the one time I do :B

*edit* well, ok I HAVE had more than once where I needed to reread a tutorial...but it was always in games where that wasn't even an option without starting a whole new save file. Fortunately there's also usually a guide or something on gamefaqs I can refresh my memory with when needed. Usually. This game is too new and too niche to have any guides for this early. :<

This game has tutorial section in the pause menu, if you accidentally skip it or want to reread.
