Can Grab And Move Iron Objects
Magnesis can be used to grab iron objects. You can grab not only chests, but also weapons like swords if they are made of iron.
Able To Pull Up The Treasure Chests Buried Under Water Or Snow
Magnesis can be used to pull up treasure chests buried underwater or snow. There are many situations where you can use, so use it when you find it.
Deal Damage By Throwing Against Enemies
You can inflict damage to enemies by hitting them with something you grabbed. The damage depends on how hard when you throw.
Can Be Used To Push Heavy Objects
▲ You can not only grab large boxes, but also push them with Magnesis.
Heavy objects that you are not capable to move can be pushed indirectly by Magnesis. Although not all objects can be pushed, it is effective in removing obstacles.
How To Use Magnesis
Check The Mark That Appears Directly Below The Object You Grabbed
When using Magnesis, it is sometimes difficult to tell the distance between the object and the enemy/player. A mark appears directly below the object, so do not look at the object alone, but use the mark as a landmark.
Ensure That No Obstacles Are Placed Between The Lines
If there is an obstacle between the line and the object when using Magnesis, the line will stretch and break. A little bit is acceptable, but basically, try to avoid obstacles.
Check If Magnesis Is Available When You Get Stuck
▲ With the above, you can use the object as a shield and push it off a cliff.
If you get stuck, look around to see if there is anything you can move with Magnesis. Magnesis may provide a clue to you.
