Mental-World Combat
Throughout the game, you are faced with people who are infected with Silent -- which is the root of all Shinen manifestation. Silent is what distributes Shinen, whether it be 'good' or bad.
Now for the different types of Silent "dots." The game does a horrible job of explaining how to eliminate all the "dots." Here are the three different types.
- Enter the Mental World -- When the mental-world combat occurs, the 'reality' screen will shatter -- it will look like a bunch of glass shards, and it also sounds like breaking glass. Tap the shattered 'glass' several times to enter the mental world.
- Reduce Silent's Life Force -- There will be dots that appear on the screen and get larger (there are three different types of these "dots," which I will explain down below). When you click on them, it does damage to Silent's life force.
- Remove Silent -- When the blue bar that represents the Silent's life force is completely gone down, you have succeeded in removing Silent. When the battle is over, you return to the 'reality' screen.
Now for the different types of Silent "dots." The game does a horrible job of explaining how to eliminate all the "dots." Here are the three different types.
- "Regular Dots" are regular white circles that only need to be slashed (diagonally dragging the stylus across the screen over the dot, or just up and down over the dot) to be destroyed.
- "Glass Dots" are white circles that are surrounded by a yellow box. The box will be spinning, and as soon as the box stops spinning, you have to click on the box until it shatters. The box continues to spin until you get rid of it. As soon as the box is gone, the circle will turn into a "Regular Dot," and all you must do is slash it and it will be destroyed (eventually).
- "Rope Dots" are white circles that are dots that never really are fully grown. There will be four little silver triangles that you have to click and drag to their respective corners. Once that is done, slash and they're destroyed (eventually).
