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 after Preludes 15

Spend Pact Upgrade points in the Pact Arts tree when your Pact levels up. Preludes 15 renamed several nodes and moved some old effects toward Totems.

Renamed nodes (official)

| Old name | New name (P15) | Effect (summary) | |----------|----------------|------------------| | Voided | Forestall | Chance to cheat death once | | Sympathy | Stalwart | Chance to resist knockdown | | Healer | Physic | Carry more Life Elixirs |

If your build guide still says Voided/Sympathy/Healer, update to the new names in the Arsenal UI.

Totem overlap

Patch notes: new Totems inherited capabilities from Sympathy and Voided Pact Arts. Equip totems on the Virtue trifecta slots (Courage / Spirit / Grace) — see Totems P15.

Picking a tree

Match Pact Arts to your weapon Virtue — Pact selection.
Courage melee often stacks Forestall + Stalwart for sustain; casters may prefer Physic + Spirit nodes.
