It will also refill your sacred flasks.

However, most of the enemies you’ve defeated will be revived.

You can find sites of grace by going where light converges.

Use your map to check your current position, as well as the terrain and surrounding structures.

You can update your map with new information by finding Map fragments at steles along the road.

You can also use the map to freely place beacons of light to serve as landmarks as you explore.

(This rule is in effect when the Roundtable icon is displayed.)
