Akatori quick start for the released PC build
A source-backed Akatori first-session checklist covering staff combat, gliding, wall hooks, world traversal and the Amber Storm premise, with demo-era evidence labelled.
Start by treating the staff as both weapon and traversal tool. Practise ground and aerial attacks, gliding and wall-hooking in the released game when available; keep demo-era route details separate until tested.

Walkthrough checklist
0 / 4 complete
Test ground, aerial, throw and recall attacks in the current build before hunting for a damage build.
Gliding, sliding and wall-hooking are documented traversal functions; exact release-build inputs still need your own test.
The staff also interacts with tricky mechanisms and secret places, so revisit paths after upgrades.
Full routes and ability order are not verified by this source-only guide; record them separately after playing.
One item, three jobs
Akatori’s staff is the cleanest thing to practise first: it handles combat, traversal and environmental interaction. In the current PC build, test one move in a safe space, then use the same move to cross a gap or reach a mechanism. The older Steam demo is evidence for named mechanics, not a promise about the final route.
The abilities guide lists only shown functions. The map progression page keeps route advice conservative until a release-build playthrough is recorded.
