Hello, brave warriors! With the recent release of Asterigos: Curse of the Stars on PlayStation, we wanted to tell you a little more about the gameplay, locations, and monsters. These insights will help you prepare for the locations and enemies that await you in Asterigos: Curse of the Stars, so you can be battle-ready when the time comes.
World of Asterigos
The city of Aphes is stunning in its grandeur and vastness. From suburbs and markets to military academies and shimmering mines, each region of the world offers you a unique visual experience, challenging battles and boss encounters. .
Beneath the city you will find a unique hub that connects all regions of the world together and is the starting point for your adventure. Shelter provide Hilda with a place where she can return and be safe. Here you can get new quests from the Adherents, use the document archive, the vault, talk to the blacksmith, visit the shops, and even find a side partner if you need training!
There is also much to do in Shelterand as you progress through the game you will discover more opportunities. We want players to have a sense of a ‘global connection’ as they explore it. So it’s not just where you teleport or load in and out, but where real city exploration begins.
Monsters of Asterigos: Ethrus, the Dark Cult
The streets of the city are fraught with danger around every corner. Each neighborhood of the city, including the surrounding areas, is occupied by a host of unique and deadly enemies, each with their own special abilities and looks. Let’s talk about one of the opposing factions, The Dark Cult of Ethrus.
These cultists have strayed from the doctrine of the gods of the stars, believing that only a call to the wild hearts of the beasts can save them from their curse. To do so, they perform a magical “Sublimation Ritual” that transforms them into werewolves and other mythical creatures. The ritual allowed them to use the powers of beasts: the strength of bulls, the sharp fangs and claws of wolves or the swift wings of birds.
Using Starite – the magical mineral used to power many things in Aphesian life – some cultists are able to create powerful spells, such as chains of fire or even fireballs. even shock waves. Remember to be extremely careful when traveling through the city as the cultists often ambush or attack from blind spots. They also tend to run in groups, making it harder to fight.
Adjust the way of hitting
Hilda mastered and wielded six weapons: Sword and shield, magic staff, dagger, enchantment bracelet, warhammer, and spear. She can use any two weapons simultaneously in battle and change them on the go depending on the situation. Each weapon has its respective pros and cons. For example, when fighting enemies armed with small arms, using a shield against them will give you an advantage, as it can easily block such attacks.

However, a warhammer will be much more effective than a sword against strong shield or armor wielders, as its powerful blows can easily pierce an opponent’s defenses.
You can use any combination of all the weapons available to Hilda to better adapt to the situation on the battlefield. But most importantly, you will be able to create your own fighting style using the unique and improved features of different weapons!
Going down to the abyss
During her journey, Hilda will not only explore the surface of Aphes City, but also descend into ancient caves full of mystery and danger, where locals mine the magical mineral Starite. These crystalline minerals shine and emit illuminating lights, like the stars themselves, hence the cave’s name – Sparkling abysses.
Glittering Deeps’ history is so ancient that even modern historical chronicles of Aphes can’t trace it. There are even ancient ruins in the depths that suggest there was another, even older, city at the site of present-day Aphesians. With so much mystery surrounding them, Glittering Deeps is a dangerous place for adventurers.
Monster of the Abyss
In the deepest recesses there is an unusual magic that makes many cliffs come to life and behave hostile towards anyone who dares to trespass here. In addition to the stone creatures, there are also ‘crystallized monsters’ living here. Their appearance harmonizes well with their surroundings and they pose a real danger, lurking among the crystals, stalking their next prey.
One of these terrifying creatures is called Breathless.
Breathless is a fearsome stone creature, possessing a very hard and solid body and able to harness the magical power of tranquilizers, his body also partially formed. This monster is dangerous not only in close combat but also in ranged combat. It can attack with its giant stone arms, as well as launch a variety of projectiles: rockets, cannons, or explosive rocks.

His only weakness is his slow movement and each of its attacks takes time to prepare. You would be wise to take advantage of this!
