Thankfully, shrines can restore techniques upon interacting with them. These powers cost technique bars located on Aragami’s cloak so they’re uses are limited. Scattered across the levels are hidden scrolls which grant Aragami special abilities and techniques such as brief invincibility, throwing kunai (daggers) at enemies, summoning shadow monsters to dispose of enemies, and even summoning a shadow version of himself to distract enemies.
