Asterigos: Curse of the Stars Cheats, Tips Strategy

Below is a collection of hints and tips that will help you to progress in the game. These include how to unlock all the weapons for Hilda and where the Archive Items can be found.

Explore Everywhere

You play Hilda, a warrior from the Northwind Region, who enters a cursed city named Aphes, and it is essential that you explore everywhere as there are plenty of hidden collectibles as well as story fragments that you will only find if you venture off the beaten trail. In order to strengthen Hilda, so she is as strong as possible you will need to explore the world of Asterigos: Curse of the Stars thoroughly.

Search for New Paths

Investigating every nook and cranny in Asterigos: Curse of the Stars is crucial as it will enable you to find new paths that will alter the environment. If you are not diligent when you are looking around areas you are liable to miss the paths which will slow down your progress in the game as plenty of things will go unseen.

There is No Map

In Asterigos: Curse of the Stars there is no map that you can use as a guide to track where you have and haven't explored in the world. This means paying attention to environmental cues and landmarks is important. Always keep an eye out for a set of strange blue markings that are often found on walls and other surfaces as these can be used to mentally map the area in your head and prevent unnecessary backtracking while you try to get to where you need to go.

Visit the Shop

You will gain access to the shop in the Shelter early in the game and provided you have the required amount of money you will be able to purchase useful things such as healing items. The shopkeeper also sells materials that you can use to upgrade your weapons and equipment. It is also possible to sell items at the shop if you are short of money, but this is not recommended as most of the items you can sell are better used as crafting materials.

Unlock All the Weapons

In Asterigos: Curse of the Stars Hilda has access to 6 types of weapons - sword and shield, daggers, hammer, spear, staff, and bracelets. Each weapon has different styles of fighting and can be enhanced further. At the start of the game you will begin with the sword and shield and also the hammer. If you then complete the 'Retrieve the Stolen Weapons from the Thieves', main mission quest you add the spear, daggers, staff, and bracelet to your inventory.
