Greak: Memories of Azur is a thrilling platform adventure game starring three siblings — Greak, Adara, and Raydel. These siblings must work with one another through a gorgeous set of diverse areas while trying to escape the Urlag invasion. A plague threatens the land and its people and our heroes must do what they can to reunite and help others in their journey.
Greak: Memories of Azur features action combat, rewarding exploration, an emotional tale, and even some cooking thrown in for good measure. Starting out in this game is quite simple with the game providing a good tutorial, however, many first-time players might need an extra boost in order to survive this harsh world.
10 Talk To Every Character
Greak: Memories of Azur features a good number of NPCs to speak with during your adventure. Talking to each and every NPC is a great idea early on in the game, since they not only doll out quests, but also provide extra tidbits of lore and world background.
Since this game does provide a complex, emotionally-charged tale, new players might get a bit confused about what exactly is going on with Greak, Adara, Raydel and why there are all separated from the start. Plus, there is a rampaging plague that no one quite seems to understand. Talking to NPCs ensures you get more out of the game.
9 Utilize Your Dodge Ability
Early on in your adventure when you can only play as Greak, you learn the dodge ability. Each of the siblings has their own unique dodge move, however, Greak’s might be the best since it’s a dodge roll that can maneuver him out of harm’s way.
One of the best skills to utilize early and often is the dodge. Since enemies are quite vicious and often lunge at you and are seemingly on the offensive, dodging can save you from taking damage. You only have four health points at the start of the game so negating damage is critical to success.
8 You Can Freely Explore
In Greak: Memories of Azur, you can freely explore the many beautiful landscapes even if you can’t always get past certain junctions. Exploration is one of the highlights of this game since it often rewards you with secret items and buffs that can aid you in your overall adventure.
However, keep in mind that you don’t get a map right away, and even when you, it isn’t very detailed, instead only providing your overarching locations. Even with that setback, you should get used to exploring the many nooks and crannies in this world since there is always something to find.
7 Gather As Many Items As You Can
There are a lot of items to gather when exploring throughout this game. It’s not always clear what the items are for and your inventory seems to fill up very quickly early on. However, it’s a good idea to gather as many items as you can because many of them are simple healing items. Since it’s easy to take damage in this game, more healing items mean more success. Certain items such as berries and seeds can stack, too.
Once you do eventually get your next sibling, Adara, you can freely swap between them to carry more items, should you need.
6 Cooking Is Your Friend
One of the best reasons to seek out materials and food is for cooking. Yes, Greak: Memories of Azur features a simple yet fun cooking mechanic whereby you combine three items to make a better one. For example, you can cook three seeds to make a muffin that heals two health points.
There does seem to be a good amount of trial and error components to cooking. Fortunately, certain quests teach you the cooking mechanicsuch as an early side quest that tasks you with finding three mushrooms. By gathering lots of materials, you can cook more often from the pots strewn about the world.
5 Don’t Forget Your Bow And Arrow
While this might be the simplest beginning tip on the list, it might just be the most practical and overlooked. Each of the siblings has an alternate type of ability. Since you spend the majority of the few couple hours of the game as Greak, it’s a good idea to master the use of your bow and arrow.
By holding down a shoulder button on a controller and aiming with a thumbstick, you can shoot arrows in rapid succession. These arrows do need to be refilled from time to time but they do a great job at hitting out-of-reach healing crystals, as an example of how useful they can be. They don’t do much damage to enemies, but it helps in a pinch.
4 Your Crystals Are Currency
Defeated enemies (especially bosses) drop blue crystals that can be picked up. It’s not clear from the start of the game what these blue crystals are for. However, if you speak to one of the shopkeepers in the first village, you quickly learn that you can buy, sell, and trade in this game.
Sometimes these currency crystals can drop in hard-to-reach or even out of reach places such as a vine pit. Make sure to gather as many as you can so you can buy new items from the various villages and NPCs.
3 Swap Siblings Depending On The Situation
One of the most unique gameplay aspects of Greak: Memories of Azur is the ability to freely swap between siblings (when you have them with you) with the quick press of a d-pad button on a controller. Each sibling plays differently from the last. More often than not, you will need to switch between them for the various environmental puzzles.
Early on in the game, you come up against some light beam puzzles that require you to turn cranks and move platforms in order to open gates or to simply move ahead. Make sure to get used to swapping between characters because it’s a major gameplay element here.
2 Don’t Be Afraid To Take A Chance
Since Greak: Memories of Azur is so explorable with each new location begging to be fully discovered, you should get used to taking a chance at dropping down a pit or jumping up to an otherwise unknown area. Fortunately, you can hold the right thumbstick on a controller to gently and slightly move the camera to see where a path leads.
Save points are plentiful in this game, and even if you do fall down a pit thinking there would be some treasure down there, you will just quickly respawn back on the platform. Don’t be afraid to take a chance at exploring a desirable area; it might just reward you with a fancy chest.
1 The More The Merrier
This tip specifically focuses on the boss battles in this game. They can be quite challenging and frantic, especially when you have more siblings to take care of. Make sure to swap between your siblings depending on how the bosses’ attack patterns are being used against you.
For example, Adara can’t jump as high but she has a long-range magic attack and she can float when she jumps. Knowing this early on can help you to overcome the more punishing battles and combat encounters.
