Understanding these elements is crucial for mastering the game’s progression and uncovering its secrets.

Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights Complete Guide

To begin, grasping the core mechanics of Ender Lilies will smooth your journey through this dark fantasy world. Managing your level, spirits, and collectibles can quickly become overwhelming without knowing how they interconnect, so focusing on essentials early helps build a strong foundation.

Your current level is displayed at the top left, capping at 100. Experience is earned by defeating foes and is tracked as “Blight” under your Records. This experience type is distinct from the Stagnant and Furious Blight scattered in the world.

• The gauge on the top left of your screen represents your level, which currently maxes out at level 100.
• You gain experience by defeating enemies, and this experience is labeled as “Blight” on your Records page. This is different from the Stagnant and Furious Blight that you collect throughout the game.

Stat Powers

• As Lily levels up, her attack power increases based on whether the level is even or odd:
  • Even levels: Attack rises by 2 points.
  • Odd levels: Attack rises by 1 point.
• Starting attack power is 50; upon reaching level 100, it climbs to 200 due to an unusual boost at one odd level.

World Difficulty Settings

• World difficulty scales up after each area boss defeat, boosting enemy health and damage, steadily raising the challenge.

Lily Appearance Changes

• Each purified area boss alters Lily’s visual appearance, marking the effects the Blight exerts on her physically and symbolically.

Collecting Blight from Containers

• Once all static Blight in the game is collected, future Blight acquisition depends solely on breaking containers.
  • Breakable objects offer roughly a 20-25% chance for Stagnant Blight and 10-15% chance for Furious Blight.
  • Containers also may yield small Red and White Flowers, useful for healing and spirit stamina restoration.

Leveling Up Spirits

• Spirit leveling requires Blight, scaling up as follows:
  • Level 1: 0 Blight
  • Level 2: 10 Blight
  • Level 3: 30 Blight
  • Level 4: 90 Blight
  • Level 5: 270 Blight
  • Level 6 (Max): 800 Blight
• Note the unique case of the Umbral Knight spirit, which requires Ancient Souls instead of Blight to upgrade.

Collectibles

Collectibles enrich your journey, measured categorically in the game’s menu for clear tracking and completion awareness.

• Items: Passive stat boosts that stack infinitely once acquired, no need for equipping.
• Relics: Provide stat enhancements requiring equipped slots at respites; slot capacity can be increased via Chains of Sorcery.
• Findings: Lore fragments scattered around that deepen game world understanding.
• Spirits: Obtained from bosses or minibosses, divided into Main Skills with unlimited use and Sub Skills with cooldown and use limits.
• Blight/Ancient Souls: Materials used to upgrade spirits, with Ancient Souls currently unavailable in early access.
• Actions: Abilities gained from area bosses that unlock new traversal mechanics, always active without needing to equip.

Map Completion

• Map rooms marked in blue are still missing one or more collectibles, while orange indicates full completion of that room.

Enemy Health and Poise Bars

• Enemies possess both health and poise bars; health depletion means death, poise depletion causes staggering, opening them to extra damage.
• Falling damage applies when staggering airborne enemies, offering tactical opportunities.

Non-Aquatic Creatures and Water

• Water instantly kills non-aquatic enemies, a mechanic players can exploit in certain scenarios.

Umbral Knight Combo Attacks

• The Umbral Knight spirit’s attack combo scales with Lily’s attack power:
  • First strike: 0.9x attack power
  • Second strike: 1.0x attack power
  • Third strike: 1.1x attack power
• A full combo delivers damage equivalent to 300% of Lily’s base attack power.

Aerial Attacks with Umbral Knight

• Airborne attacks with Umbral Knight deal 30% less damage due to a 0.7x multiplier, so plan accordingly.
