Secrets

A slot-machine-style device that turns Medallions into items: drop one in, stop the spinning colors by pressing the action button, and matching colors across the slots pays out. Which Medallion you feed the machine decides what comes back. If you're ever completely out of basic supplies, the bowl in the room also hands out free Magnesia and Antimony Powder.

Appears next to the Perpetua Machina in every Alchemy Room once you've cleared the game. It doesn't take Medallions — it takes finished Plate Keys.

The "default" activation word for the Golem — used before you have access to METH.

Swapping in METH instead of the default EMETH word turns the same Golem interaction into an item reward.

Opens the red box among the dolls, paying out two pieces of equipment at once.

Only usable post-completion, on the plate-key equipment machine that appears next to the Perpetua Machina.

Used on the same post-completion equipment machine as ADAMAS, MORGAN, and POWDER.

Used on the same post-completion equipment machine as ADAMAS, ALCHYMIA, and POWDER.

Used on the same post-completion equipment machine as ADAMAS, ALCHYMIA, and MORGAN.

The only plate-key built by combining two partial ones instead of being spelled out directly.

The game's one pure joke Easter egg — inserting the SALTATIO plate-key into the Crypt's Rock Golem sets off a ten-second dance routine instead of anything ominous. It also happens to fully heal Fiona, so it's worth using again whenever you're back in the Crypt and running low.

Lets you trade in certain key items you're still holding onto for something new, instead of using them for their original purpose. It's a separate system from the Prima Materia refining chain that produces the White Godstone elsewhere — check this machine before assuming a spare key item is dead weight.

Clearing the game unlocks a growing wardrobe of alternate outfits for Fiona, some tied to a specific ending rather than just completion — try each on from the closet in the Castle Bedroom.

Hewie gets his own alternate looks tied to prior clears — the Stuffed Dog Outfit in particular is worth chasing on a Hard Mode run, since making him unkillable removes the game's harshest fail state.

A repurposed version of the Castle Bedroom, unlocked once you've cleared the game. Alongside the usual bonus-content gallery, it hides a genuinely different minigame: you play as Hewie, guiding Fiona away from a pursuer toward each level's goal, escalating from Debilitas up through Flaming Lorenzo.

A genuinely different run rather than a stat bump: Hewie can now die outright if his health hits critical, Camomile and Lavender are removed from the world entirely, Failures show up far earlier (including during the very first Debilitas chase), and Luminessants are more numerous and respawn after you lose them. Every pursuer also gets a palette-swapped redesign. Treat it as a New Game+ challenge run, not the way to experience the story for the first time.

Fiona and Hewie reach the castle gate together. As they leave, Debilitas himself appears one last time — not to chase them, but to bow respectfully before going back to tending the garden alone.

Fiona and Hewie make it out through the castle gate with no extra epilogue beat — a solid escape, just without the added closure Ending A gives Debilitas.

This route lets Fiona leave through the front gate long before the story would normally end. As she and Hewie escape, Lorenzo chases after her down the stairs, collapsing before he can stop her — a rare glimpse that he wanted more than just her Azoth.

Without Hewie there to save her, Fiona is captured at the cliff. The game closes on her, months later, kept in what used to be the castle bedroom — pregnant, and no longer entirely herself.
