Glory of Heracles III: Kamigami no Chinmoku — what should I check first in Weapons, armor, and recovery items?
Weapons include swords, axes, bare hands, spears, whips, and bows. Characters perform best with categories matching learned specialties. Other types may still be equipped but tend to suffer accuracy or other disadvantages. Choose each character's category and upgrade accordingly to reduce waste.

1. Frequent encounters prevent progress
Cause: Heavy healing consumption repeatedly interrupts exploration
Solution: Carry ample healing and use escape as well to take the shortest route through dungeons
2. Enemies suddenly feel much stronger
Cause: Progress has outpaced equipment upgrades
Solution: Update gear in new towns and train a little in earlier areas if needed
3. Boss attacks wipe out the party
Cause: Insufficient resistances and healing preparation
Solution: Prepare resistance gear and rebuild your position with the healer's action order in mind

Stronger armor directly improves boss survival. Rusty equipment such as the Rusty Sword can sometimes be restored into useful items at specialist polishing shops. Rather than immediately selling rusty finds, take them in for inspection; they may yield unexpected gear.
- ▸ Armor upgrades improve boss survival
- ▸ Polishing shops can sometimes restore rusty gear
- ▸ Check rusty items at a shop before selling
- ▸ Always inspect stock in new regions
Carry consumables rather than relying entirely on healing magic for long expeditions and bosses. Automatic combat may use items too, so keep replenishing them. Split funds between upgrades and consumables, restoring stock whenever you visit town.
- ▸ Carry consumables instead of relying only on healing magic
- ▸ Automatic combat may also consume items
- ▸ Balance spending between equipment and consumables
- ▸ Restock on every town visit
