Don’t let your evil master get the best of you
Soul Sacrificecan be a pretty deep, rewarding experience, but it can also be a bit difficult to learn at first. The confusing menu system and large variety of spells can be extremely overwhelming. But once you’ve bested a few stages and start to learn the flow of the game, it’s a lot easier to get into.
Everything starts to make sense, as you augment and combine spells into your desired build, learn ways around the “sacrifice” mechanic that’s core to the your success, and get a grip on the pacing of the game’s combat.
General tips:
Make sure you don’t overuse your upgraded spells in combat though, otherwise you’ll have to waste Lacrima on them after they “break” (the game will warn you). While there is a sold supply of Lacrima available throughout the game, it’s best to save them for Dark Rites on bosses than waste them when you don’t need to. Also keep in mind that you may use environmental items like weapons, which don’t take casting power to use — just scour each battlefield if you’re running low on Rites.
Also, keep in mind that bringing allies makes bossesharder. Try going solo if you’re having a crazy amount of trouble on your first boss encounter.
If you use a shield it will stun Cerberus when he charges you. Use your dodge move liberally, bring a Golem, and you should have no issues with Cerberus.
