Sorry about that! You might have encountered a bug. Could you send me your save file for testing? The file is located at: C:\Users\%YourUserName%\AppData\LocalLow\AgooStudio\mota24\save
I checked all the items, and the added stats are all correct. However, I found that when you give the cross to the fairy, she increases your stats, and this time it is a percentage increase. Since there are no prompts for this in the game, you might have misunderstood. (Spoiler: it increases by 33%) I submitted a new version(v1.1.1) with the corresponding prompts and also fixed some missing localizations, hope it can help you.
Pay attention to the fairy’s dialogue. After collecting the three staves, you need to talk to the fairy to break the seal. otherwise, you won’t be able to defeat the boss.
This game doesn’t have many hidden elements, so no hidden passages or hidden items.
The staircase design on the 20th floor is intentional. In the original version, there’s only one save slot, and once you enter the 21st floor, you can’t exit. This setup ensures players get a fair shot at defeating the boss on the 21st floor. Plus, there’s a hidden floor after the 21st. If players could submit the cross later, it would make the hidden boss easier to beat.
I love TotS for its minimalist RPG style. Actually, I’m planning to create my own version of TotS with a major overhaul of the combat system. The challenge will come more from using relics and floor layouts rather than just numbers.
