Before you set off on your journey
Before you set off on your journey to defeat the villainous god Thelos, familiarize yourself with the Atlas Fallen combat mechanics, as well as your gauntlet’s upgrade options.
When you’re ready to take on the many enemies in Atlas Fallen, be sure to check your equipment before each major battle. Make sure to have the correct perks equipped to your armor, and if you’re in a Wraith fight, be sure to have the correct Stones and Idols inserted into your gauntlet.
Remember that different fights require different strategies, so be sure to check your equipment before each major battle, especially if you’re tackling a new type of enemy. It’s also worth noting that enemies don’t just get harder in terms of HP, but also their attack patterns and speed, so be sure to practice parrying and dodging regularly to adapt to different combat situations.
Wraiths are by far the hardest enemies in Atlas Fallen, but because of that, defeating them is crucial for plot progression. Not only that, but the loot they drop is some of the best gear in the game, so it’s worth the hassle. Just make sure you’re prepared with the correct gauntlet and corresponding Stones and Idols.
Manage your Momentum, the blue bar below your HP. You can use it to unleash powerful attack moves, but they take a while to recharge, so use them wisely. Likewise, you can also use it to activate some abilities, but if you deplete the bar, you’ll be left with no Momentum for powerful attack moves.
Practice with different combinations of key inputs for light and heavy attacks, both on the ground and in the air, to unleash devastating moves. Take the time to learn each gauntlet weapon’s mechanics so that you can enhance your combat fluidity and shorten major Wraith fights.
Finally, don’t forget to upgrade your armor, perks, and gauntlet regularly to gain extra stats and perk points, which you can use to make yourself even more powerful. The game is fairly generous with these points, but you can still miss out on extra points if you don’t upgrade regularly.
