Preparation Before the Final Battle
- Total population increases maximum HP. Review culture and old buildings, leveling up if necessary.
- Collect Sources of Magic and equip the gauntlet spell in the Sky Palace. Decide where to use the compass, too.
- Kasandora's Source of Life and Northwall's Light magic have deadlines or order requirements, so collect before finishing each region.
Post-Completion SPECIAL
After completion, reset and move down from NEW GAME on the title screen to reveal SPECIAL. This mode offers harder ACTs without intervening town building. Distinguish it from Renaissance's post-completion content.
