deSPIRIA — what should I check first in Hidden elements?
Dives may contain inner voices unrelated to the main thread or fragments that gain significance later. Returning to check intriguing information can deepen later understanding. Thoroughly collecting inner voices helps prevent omissions.
| Phase | Objective | Checklist |
|---|---|---|
| Early game | Learn the fundamentals of Mind Dive and combat through practice |
|
| Midgame | Develop your Minds while solving dive puzzles |
|
| Late game | Approach the truth and prepare for the final battle |

1. You cannot progress because you do not know what to do during a dive
Cause: You have not connected inner voices and memory fragments as clues
Solution: List the words you collected, look for contradictions and repetition, and infer what the person is concealing
2. Your Minds are underpowered and enemies overwhelm you
Cause: Your formation relies too heavily on particular Minds, or development is insufficient
Solution: Retrain in an available nearby farming area and rebuild the formation with Minds that have different roles
3. Progress stops because you do not know the next location or event
Cause: Optional exploration and required events have become mixed together
Solution: Organize recent conversations and objectives, then prioritize people you have not dived into and unvisited locations

- ▸ Collect inner voices even if they seem unrelated to the main story
- ▸ Record potential foreshadowing that may matter later
- ▸ Revisit interesting places after some time has passed
Actions and choices may change how you perceive the story or how it unfolds, so separate saves before apparently important forks offer reassurance. Use different save slots to compare behavior when checking multiple possibilities. Careful records reduce regret.
- ▸ Keep separate saves before choices that seem important
- ▸ Compare developments using different saves
- ▸ Record important points even if the route seems linear
