The Cogah is a hard mode activated by consuming The Cogah Elixir, crafted from Agaric Mushrooms. Enemies grow stronger as you defeat Agari, but rewards are also better. Hard mode ends when you stop playing or die.

Pact Arts Renames in Preludes 15

Q: Does Soulframe have a tutorial?

Yes. The opening quest Rise Envoy serves as the tutorial, guiding you through basic controls, the Nightfold hub, and your first objectives via the Sparrow guide.

Q: Which Pact should I pick first?

For new players: Oscelda (Spirit) for casters and support, Tethren (Courage) for melee, Sirin (Grace) for stealth and ranged. Oscelda has the most forgiving skill kit.

Q: How do I remove fog of war from the map?

Find World Trees — dead trees with spears in them. Pull out the spear to reveal the surrounding area on your map.

Q: What are Motes and where do I find them?

Motes are glowing collectibles that unlock location names and codex entries. Only one spawns per area per in-game day, so revisit areas regularly.

Q: Does Soulframe support multiplayer?

Yes. You can team up with up to 3 players to explore Midrath and complete quests together.

Q: What is the Nightfold?

The Nightfold is your personal hub. You can access it at any time outside of combat to swap weapons, upgrade Pacts, craft items, and interact with Ancestor NPCs.

Q: What are Agari and how are they different from bosses?

Agari are respawning sub-bosses that drop crafting materials and Agaric Mushrooms for The Cogah hard mode. They respawn approximately 30 minutes after being defeated.

Q: What is Spectral Sight?

Spectral Sight is a mode that highlights interactable objects, helps find Motes, and triggers special interactions like Smiting enemies or bonding with wandering souls.

Q: How do I unlock Tuvalkane the Blacksmith?

Head east from the starting area to a crater with enemies. Clear the enemies, collect the helmet at the centre, then follow your Sparrow to the abandoned forge nearby.

Pact Arts Changes in Preludes 15

What changed in Pact Arts (Preludes 15)

Several Pact Arts were renamed in Preludes 15 — their effects remain intact, but the in-game labels shifted. If you are returning from Preludes 14.5 or earlier and cannot find a passive in your Pact tree, consult this list before respeccing.

Renamed Pact Arts (P15 patch notes)

| Old name (P14.5) | New name (P15) | Pact line | Notes | |------------------|----------------|-----------|-------| | Swiftfoot | Forestall | Garren Rood | Mobility passive — same mechanic, renamed label | | Unyielding | Stalwart | Tethren | Defense passive — behavior unchanged | | Shadowstep | Glimmer | Sirin | Stealth passive — same proc condition | | Bastion | Redoubt | Oscelda | Spirit shield passive — identical effect |

Additional Pact Arts may have shifted labels in subsequent hotfixes — check the individual Pact page for the current skill name and verify against your in-client Pact tree.

What did NOT change

Arcana names (Courage, Spirit, Grace abilities) were not renamed in P15 — only passive Arts were relabelled.
Pact unlock paths are unchanged from P14.5: Garren Rood still unlocks after Torment Stag, Ode Tempest from Ode'n gear progression.
Virtue scaling formulas were not adjusted — the same Courage/Spirit/Grace ratios apply to each Pact's Arcanics.

How to check your Pact Arts

Open the Pact menu in Nightfold (not the field equip screen — the full tree).
Scroll to the Passive Arts section below your Arcanics.
Compare the listed names against this guide and the individual Pact page on this site.
If a passive name does not match either column, it may be a hotfix addition not yet catalogued — report it via site feedback.

Respec considerations

Do not respec just because a passive has a new name. Verify the effect text matches before spending respec resources.
If you respecced in P14.5 and now see unfamiliar labels, the point assignment is likely still correct — the system maps old passive IDs to new names automatically per community reports.
Respec tokens are limited per Preludes cycle. Save them for actual build changes, not label updates.

Related guides

Pact Art names are derived from P15 patch notes and community reports. Labels may differ slightly in your client after hotfixes — always cross-check the effect text, not just the name.
