There are multiple ways to find Might Crystals - from clearing rifts and completing dungeons to hiding beneath rocks and cutting grass. Due to this, we've put together a Might Crystals locations list to help you find them all.

At times you'll also have to progress to a certain point in the story to unlock an upgrade for a certain aspect of the Swordfighter Form.

Each weapon you can use in Swordfighter Form, such as the Sword and Bow, can be upgraded to increase their power. These upgrades will also add new abilities to these weapons, giving you another reason to use Swordfighter Form despite its limited time use.

You can also upgrade the Swordfighter Energy Gauge itself to ensure you can stay in this form for longer. For this reason, we highly recommend upgrading the Energy Gauge first. After all, there's no point in having powerful weapons if you can't wield them for long.
