DUNGEONS OF HINTERBERG

Dungeons of Hinterberg Skills and Magic: Eight Regional Spells, Conduits and Charms

It is easier to find an upgrade when you separate regional magic, Attack Conduits, charms and friendship perks. Check your current region and equipment screen to find the feature you are missing.

Four regions, eight spells: use the tools for your current region

Each region’s Skill Shrine gives you the two spells for that region. You cannot freely carry every region’s spells into every other region. Not every Japanese UI name has been checked, so use the English names and their functions to identify them.

RegionSpellsWhen to use them
DoberkogelWrecking Ball / Ball and ChainPlace, roll and detonate the ball. Pull targets with the chain. Check rocks, pull-out platforms and minecart mechanisms.
HinterwaldWhirlwind / Wind ProjectileCarry Luisa or objects with Whirlwind. Use Wind Projectile to turn targets, collect explosive fruit and deliver it to goo eyes.
KolmsteinHover / Light RayRide rails and ramps on the board. Shoot eye targets with the ray and drop ceiling icicles.
BrünnelsumpfJelly Block / Plasma BallUse the block as a platform, a plug for water jets or a weight to stop moving parts. Send the plasma ball through pipes.

Check equipment before exploring

Prepare by combining the current region’s two spells with the equipment you own.

  1. Check both shrine spells and learn how they work on platforms and distant targets.
  2. Equip a Conduit. Check MP and cooldowns, and choose when to use it alongside normal attacks.
  3. Equip charms and check that their slots have not been left empty.
  4. Leave a difficult entrance for now and progress through other entrances, friendships or upgrades first.

Frequently asked questions

Why can I no longer use the previous region’s magic?

The pair of regional spells changes with the region. Check the current region’s shrine and magic display. Do not assume you can choose every learned spell anywhere.
