This one feels a lot more like a dirty trick than the other tips, but it’s a legitimate tactic, and in a game as challenging as Children of Morta you need every advantage you can get. You’d think that having an extra companion would be a benefit, but the game definitely makes itself more challenging in two player mode, with a great increase in enemies and (at least in my experience) far fewer health potions dropped too. If you’ve been exclusively playing in co-op mode with a friend, and you’re finding it really hard to even reach the boss in each level, I’d suggest maybe trying to go it alone. Lucy especially has a few skills that greatly improve her survivability, such as the decoy ability and her protective ward, which absorbs the damage from an enemy attack if you haven’t been hit in the last five seconds. With Linda’s arrows and Lucy’s fireballs, just being able to pick off enemies while maintaining a safe distance can be a game changer. If you’re struggling to get very far with swords, daggers, fists or hammers, switching to one of the two ranged characters is a good idea. This takes away a portion of that Bergson’s maximum health, which gets worse the more you use them, but improves if you let them rest and use a different character instead. Not only this, but if you make several failed attempts with the same character, they can get ‘corruption fatigue’. As you level up each of the Bergsons, they can unlock unique buffs that apply to the entire family, so there is definitely a benefit to keep switching up which character you’re playing as. If you’re stuck on a level, and you’re just not getting very far playing with your favourite character, you might need to try switching to a different one. Not only will you likely find relics, runes and graces that’ll give you an edge when you do decide to tangle with the boss, you might be missing out on major unlockables like research tablets that you can use to buy permanent upgrades. If you head straight into the boss room as soon as you stumble across it, you’re probably missing out on a lot of cool stuff. You need to be making sure you explore every corner of the map each time you take a run at a dungeon.

Every upgrade is pretty useful, so don’t be too picky, just improve your stats a little bit with each attempt and you’ll be clearing the levels in no time. There’s not going to be much benefit to saving your gold, best to just keep upgrading every time you get back to the Bergsons’ house. This one might sound obvious, but you should be buying upgrades and levelling up your characters whenever you can. Here’s a list of tips to help you get started, as you join the Bergsons on their quest to restore the spirits of Rea. Like any game with roguelike influences, Children of Morta can pose quite the challenge.
Children of Morta is a rogue-lite hack ‘n’ slash RPG which tells the story of the Bergson family, the protectors of the mystical Mount Morta.
