    Timely Accessories are unlocked, offering accessibility options: Ring of Timely Focus (slows time before evadable attacks), Ring of Timely Evasion (auto-evades attacks), Ring of Timely Strikes (simplifies combos), and Ring of Timely Healing (auto-uses potions). Rings of Timely Focus and Evasion cannot be used together.
