Recover
Rest at a Crystal Monument to clear ailments and heal, remembering that resting repopulates enemies. Select a specific curative by the named effect rather than spending an unrelated item.
Do not misdiagnose the controls
When an equipped attack unexpectedly fails, check Status before assuming a broken input binding or empty weapon slot. Distinguish the displayed condition from the symptom: inability to throw and inability to use magic are different restrictions.
