As Jaeden ventures deeper into the swamp, he reflects on his progress and the skills he has acquired. Satisfied with his development, he notes the effectiveness of his new abilities, including Symbiosis and the Lady's Boon, which provide him with passive healing and enhanced awareness. His confidence grows as he realizes he has options to explore, akin to open-world games he loves.

Testing the symbiosis effect, Jaeden draws his sword and deliberately cuts his palm, eager to confirm the healing power.

Excited by the success of the healing factor, he is reminded of a superhero and reassured of his abilities.
