The amount and type of materials received will depend on the items being used. Materials can be obtained by sacrificing items or weapons. Summon Night divides materials into four elements: fire, water, lightning, and wind. After the main game is completed, the player will receive techniques by finding them in treasure chests or monsters, and completing special tasks. Also, as with swords, Bron will add to the number of techniques by each day. Other weapon techniques can also be received from Bron, but the preceding weapon must already have been crafted in order for him to teach the next technique. Sword techniques are given once every day by Bron and are impossible to miss. To forge a weapon, the player needs the weapon technique and the materials to create it. One of the main focuses of the game is to forge weapons for fighting. The rewards of these quests are usually enchanted weapon techniques. During the night, the player can choose whom to spend the night with, which will control the following cutscene.Īpart from the story quests, there are multiple side-quests, offered by re-occurring NPCs.
A day normally ends after a tournament or boss battle. Each day, more levels of the Labyrinth are unlocked and the player is required to travel deeper to complete mandatory quests. The entire game consists of 10 days, where the player traverses through the town of Wystern and the Labyrinth Dungeon. Summon Night: Swordcraft Story progresses through the story on a day-by-day basis.
