Q & A
What are the three variants of the icons on the heads-up display in ELD, and what do they indicate?
-The three variants are a square, a diamond, and no shape around the icon. A square indicates a permanent buff or debuff, usually from an equipped Talisman like an HP up Talisman. A diamond signifies a temporary effect, such as consuming the item Exalted Flesh for a 30-second attack buff. No shape around the icon means the effect is situational, like being near a Stalk of America for revival.
How can you reveal items hidden inside glowing statues in ELD?
-You can reveal items by luring a large enemy to hit the statue, causing it to break and reveal the item inside.
What is the trick to access items hidden inside small wooden structures in ELD?
-Approach the wooden structure as closely as possible, then save and quit the game. Upon reloading, the game will automatically destroy the wooden structure, allowing you to pick up the item inside.
What visual cue indicates that an enemy has dropped an item in ELD?
-Strands of white particle effects coming out of the enemy's body indicate that they've dropped an item for you to pick up.
How can you increase the amount of runes gained when defeating enemies in ELD?

What is the Silver Scarab Talisman in ELD, and how can you obtain it?
-The Silver Scarab Talisman increases item discovery by 75. It can be found in a chest in the hidden path to the Halig Tree, which requires the left and right Halig Tree Secret Medallion key items to access.
How can you defeat the Dragon Grol early in the game for a massive amount of runes in ELD?

What is the benefit of using stealth in ELD, and how can you perform a backstab attack?

How can you duplicate a boss remembrance in ELD, and what are the limitations?
