    Ender Magnolia Guide

    Here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist, covering essential gameplay tips, boss strategies, and how to achieve both endings.

    Getting Started

    General Tips

    • Resource Gathering: Smash glowing boxes scattered throughout the game to collect materials. These resources are crucial for purchasing items at the Craftery, enhancing your abilities and equipment.

    • Utilize Homunculi: Early in the game, you will encounter various Homunculi like Yolvan and Muninn. Assign them to your attack slots to maximize your damage output while maintaining a steady flow of attacks.

    • Healing Items: Obtain the Helix Crystal early on, which restores a percentage of your health with each enemy defeated. This passive healing can be very beneficial during challenging segments.

    • Difficulty Settings: If you find the game overwhelming, feel free to adjust the difficulty at any Respite to better suit your playstyle.

    Boss Strategies

    Shackled Beast

    • Attack Patterns:

      • Chain Swing: A wide AOE attack; stay behind him to avoid damage.
      • Chain Slam: Creates a shockwave; keep distance when he prepares this attack.
      • Charge: Invincible while charging; dodge out of the way.
      • Summon Chain: Summons chains from the ground when at low health.

    • Recommended Homunculi: Use Nola with Vanquisher and Lito with Glacial Fist for effective damage.

    Yolvan, The Black-Winged Huntsman

    • Phase 1 Attacks:

      • Bullet Combo: Fires three bullets; dodge using jump attacks.
      • Bullet Strafe: Flies across the arena shooting bullets below.
      • Single Shot: Deals heavy damage; avoid it by timing your jumps.
