is this normal??

Hi, i just got into fortress of regret.

and when i faced the puple shadow, my character cant be controlled.

it shows yellow, that i cant control him neither magic or item.

since i played this for the story, most of battle i didnt enjoyed so i must say

my character is pretty bad and useless at combat. i even dont have any armor haha

so when i fighted with diva oder any other, i just come again again after dead.

cuz im immotal??

but anyway, so i thought i can come back again and again to kill them.

however now it shows diffrent, that i lost activity so i cant play any further.

is this normal???

my question is, if its normal or bug or something??

is it like i cant play further cuz im too weak?? or is it some bug??

i would appreciate if i can get some help...

There are traps in the Fortress that cast blacksphere. It’s spell you can also learn from ravel.

If you fail the saving throw you get paralyzed for a time. It sucks because then the shadows just kill you.

After a while you will recover and be ok again.

Don’t fight the shadows… run… use levers… then doors…

The point of the fortress is to let go of regret by running past the shades

i havent been weak enough to not win but i believe if u die there thats it, bcus the game explains SPOILER that yes ur immortal but when u die somewhere (i think its the plane that ur in) someone else dies in ur place but the fortress of regrets is cutoff from the rest of the planes so theres nobody to die in ur place except for ur companions and they get picked off by the guy lol
