Brands are crucial movement abilities that unlock new areas and shortcuts. There are four main Brands: Vertigo Brand (wall jump), Leapfrog Brand (mid-air jump), Dart Brand (mid-air dash), and Redshift Brand (phase through red barriers). The Vertigo Brand is obtained after defeating the Mad Alchemist in The Watching Woods. The Leapfrog Brand is acquired after defeating the Kraeken Wyrm in the Stone Roots. The Dart Brand is rewarded after defeating the Untouched Inquisitor in the Dome of the Forgotten. Finally, the Redshift Brand is gained after defeating the Bloodless Prince in the Ziggurat of Dust. Actively seeking out these bosses and their respective areas is essential for full exploration and accessing all secrets. Many optional areas and valuable items are locked behind these movement abilities, so prioritize acquiring them as you progress through the main story.
