Aderyn's Cradle is a non-linear game, your skills will determine which areas you can access, but exploration will help you even the odds. In addition to new weapons, the Cradle is also home to Augments, which are ancient Aderian tapestries and garments containing a small amount of Aderyn’s power. By taking the hidden Augment and imbuing it with the essence of one of the five forces of the world you can give your favorite weapon a series of powerful upgrades, to assit you in your explorations around the Cradle. <br /> |

| − | Questing in Aderyn's Cradle is not about crossing off items on a to do list, but embarking on a journey to discover lost secrets or overcome momentous odds. Rather than having a “quest log”, in Cradle you have a journal of information that keeps track of your progress on your various adventures. <br /> |

| − | Your main quest, to save yourself from the Wrath of Ostia and restore Aderyn’s lost lands, is only part of your adventure in Cradle. Additional quests are given by the guides or survivors of the Soulfire Crisis, acting as calls to action, not tasks on a to do list. Furthermore, for many “quests” in Cradle, the quest giver will be the world itself or items discovered rather than an NPC. From treasure maps and diagrams of catacombs long forgotten, to lost scrolls detailing battles from a time past, Cradle gives the player vital clues about the world, and leaves it up to them to explore and solve mysteries. In Cradle, you’ll never have to collect 15 boar skins or kill 25 beetles. This is an adventure for you to discover and explore, not a list of chores. <br /> |

As you explore the recesses of that forgotten place, you come across a scroll that tells of a great weaponsmith who lived high in the cliffs of the Quarry, with a clue as to the location of his forge. The description of the location along with its context is then recorded in your Journal, for you to refer to in the future. Sometime later you may journey to this place, and discover that this smith had once forged a weapon of great power, specific to your class, located somewhere in the lowlands of the Quarry.<br /> |

Progression
Aderyn's Cradle is first and foremost a game dependent on your skill as a player, not the countless hours put into leveling up your character. Progression through the game is not based on leveling or advancement through skill trees. Instead, Cradle’s combination of strategic combat and augmentation systems, in addition to its emphasis on exploration and skilled observation, makes the way you move through the Cradle experience dependent on your own skill, wit, and creativity.
Aderyn's Cradle is a non-linear game, your skills will determine which areas you can access, but exploration will help you even the odds. In addition to new weapons, the Cradle is also home to Augments, which are ancient Aderian tapestries and garments containing a small amount of Aderyn’s power. By taking the hidden Augment and imbuing it with the essence of one of the five forces of the world you can give your favorite weapon a series of powerful upgrades, to assit you in your explorations around the Cradle.
Secrets
Aderyn's Cradle is filled with many treasures that can assit players along their journey. These treasures, some being weapons like the Sword and Shield of Rolling Hill, will enhance how players fight enemies and traverse the Cradle. There are many secret treasures and equipment hidden throughout each of the four environments in Aderyn's Cradle.
Books & Library
Book's are a rarity in Aderyn's Cradle. Players can find books hidden around the world, using them to learn about ancient Aderian times, sometimes reavealing hidden items scattered across the world. In the Cathedral of Aderyn, players can store their books and other belongings in its library.
Movement & Exploration
From the highest peaks, to the deepest recesses of the world, the player will find themselves in a different kind of combat- not a battle fought with steel and a hearty resolve, but a challenge of their observation of the world, and their ingenuity in overcoming the land itself. Many secrets will be hidden throughout the world, and uncovering them will be paramount to fully realizing the story the player is entwined in. The player will encounter several different types of puzzles as they explore.
Weapons
Each character class can use up to six unique weapons, all exclusive to each class. Weapons are explicitly designed to shine in different types of combat situations and fighting styles. In Cradle, new weapons are rare and powerful items, often heavily guarded and hidden. Finding one is a big deal.
