BAROQUE（Sega Saturn / PlayStation / PlayStation 2）
🥩 Using Meat, Hearts, Crystals, and Item Identification
Items demand different handling: meat and hearts supply recovery, Idea Sephirah crystals serve synthesis, and unidentified items conceal their effects until used. Deciding what to eat, throw, or save directly affects survival. This guide organizes the major item groups and approaches to identification.
BAROQUE — what should I check first in Meat, Crystals, Equipment, and Identification?
Different meats replenish health, while hearts replenish vitality. Eating either while its corresponding gauge is full raises that maximum by a set amount. If you can spare the item, deliberately eating while that gauge is full can therefore build long-term durability. Vitality keeps falling, however, so judge whether maximum increases or immediate recovery matter more.

- ▸ Meat restores health and hearts restore vitality
- ▸ Consuming them with the corresponding gauge full raises its maximum by a set amount
- ▸ Raising maximums when safe helps over the long term
- ▸ Since vitality keeps draining, distinguish recovery from maximum increases
Many consumables are found unidentified, their effects unknown until eaten. Some help; others cause harmful effects such as paralysis or poison, making blind experimentation dangerous. Try them gradually in safe situations or prioritize items whose effects are known. Harmful items may sometimes become weapons when thrown at enemies.
- ▸ Many consumables remain unidentified until eaten
- ▸ Effects can be beneficial or harmful, so careless use is dangerous
- ▸ Experiment in safety or prioritize identified effects
- ▸ Harmful items may also be useful when thrown at enemies
Special crystals called Idea Sephirah are materials used in synthesis with particular angels. The required quantity and synthesis result depend on the crystal type and can improve equipment or items. For deeper floors, collecting crystals deliberately for synthesis is worthwhile. Using them toward a defined goal is more reliable than stockpiling without a plan.
- ▸ Idea Sephirah are special crystals used in synthesis with angels
- ▸ Required quantities and results depend on crystal type
- ▸ Prepare for the depths through equipment and item improvements
- ▸ Synthesize toward a goal rather than hoarding without purpose
