A Cardinal Amulet is a holy item forged by the Cardinal Gods. There are four of them in Mazeworld, each representing each of the Gods themselves. Collecting all four Amulets is the ultimate goal of a contestant to attain endgame.
The four Amulets are named after cardinal directions: North, East, West and South, the same way each Cardinal God is associated to each of those directions.
The Amulets have been forged in the Gods' image by the Game Masters, as symbolic representations of each deity's powers. Although many legends and rumors circulate about the Amulets, many of them claiming that even possessing just one or in any case, less than all four, may grant their beholder great powers, those rumors are false. The Amulets' powers may only be harnessed when all four have been found, as they fuse into one and grant access to the elusive White Area to their beholder.
Overview
- The Amulet of the North is black and has the Japanese kanji for "North" (北, pronounced Kita) engraved on it.
- The Amulet of the East is blue and has the Japanese kanji for "East" (東, pronounced Tou) engraved on it.
- The Amulet of the West is white and has the Japanese kanji for "West" (西, pronounced Sei) engraved on it.
- The Amulet of the South is red and has the Japanese kanji for "South" (南, pronounced Nan) engraved on it.
Benefits
Each Amulet, because of the representation of their respective Gods, grant different effects, all of which beneficial to the contestant.
- Amulet of the North: Maximum Pain threshold increased by +10%, Maximum Bleeding counter increased by +2, Maximum Poison counter increased by +2.
- Amulet of the East: Strength increase x2, Pain sensitivity decrease x2.
- Amulet of the West: All shops and paid services propose a -10% buying discount and a +10% sell value. Is applied to the total checkout before transaction, not every individual item.
- Amulet of the South: Max damage counter +1 on all clothing and armor worn/spared until leaving equipment or backpack of the contestant. (Clothes with less than 1 unit will be destroyed in this case)
When all four are reunited, they fuse into a single Fused Amulet and teleport the contestant (and his/her ally, if applicable) inside the White Area. The benefits that each individual amulet previously provided will be then provided by the Fused Amulet.
After the endgame period is completed and the contestant chose his/her fate, the fused amulet is destroyed, turning to dust, and the original four Amulets reappear in the Mazes, their effects disappearing along the way.
- The Fused Amulet is silver, has all four kanji in their respective positions, around a fifth: 中 (Naka), meaning center.
