Relics & Their Enhancements
In Sword of the Sea, the primary goal is to restore water oases by activating water orbs or lanterns using your Resonate ability. Along the way, collect Tetra, the main currency, to unlock new trick abilities from the Mysterious Vendor. These tricks, while not essential, are a core feature of the game, resembling skating and snowboarding mechanics.
Performing tricks involves holding LB and then pressing X, A, B, or Y. Successful tricks earn scores, and combos boost these scores. Your overall score from each chapter is tallied at the end of the game. Additionally, each area contains various collectibles: secret shells, frogs, and fish tiles.
- Tetra: The main currency, used to unlock new trick abilities from the Mysterious Vendor.
