This does cause a lot of backtracking where you’ll unlock a certain area only to find out that there’s another area up ahead you need the spirit-ability for and you’ll have to go back to find more flowers. Your fox will then glow like the spirit herself to indicate that this ability can be used. The ability to wake up and unlock new areas of the ruins can only be used once, by calling to your fox spirit friend when standing on top of a pile of glowing blue flowers. Doing so may open up a new area for players to explore or it may create a bridge, open a hole in the wall to let water escape and fill up the area or many other things to help you traverse the land and solve puzzles. After chapter 2, players meet the fox spirit and are given an ability to “reawaken” certain areas of the ruins. You’ll be tasked with solving puzzles, traversing the sometimes dangerous landscape and returning items to beings that died long ago.Īs Spirit of the North has no dialogue, players are left fully to their own devices to discover the secrets of ancient ruins. Together with the fox spirit, you’ll explore lands long forgotten and discover the secrets that the ruins hold. In Spirit of the North you play as a red fox who gets intertwined with a guardian of the Northern Lights, a fox spirit.
