Welcome to our comprehensive guide on the Morph system in Throne and Liberty, a unique feature that allows players to transform into different creatures to enhance exploration, disguise themselves from enemies, and navigate through the world in exciting ways. Whether you’re dashing across the plains, gliding through the sky, or swimming in deep waters, the Morph system offers a dynamic way to experience the game. This guide will cover everything you need to know about the available morphs, leveling them up, and using them effectively in the game.
Introduction to the Morph System
In Throne and Liberty, mounts are replaced by a system where players morph into different creatures to move faster, glide from high places, or swim efficiently. These transformations are not just for travel, but can also serve strategic purposes, such as avoiding enemy detection by shapeshifting into similar creatures.
Morph vs Shapeshifting
- Morphing: This is primarily used for faster travel. Players can transform into creatures that allow them to run faster on land, glide through the air, or swim underwater.
- Shapeshifting: This is used to disguise yourself as a creature in the world. When shapeshifted, enemies of the same species will not attack you, making it easier to navigate through hostile areas. However, attacking or interacting with objects will cancel the shapeshift.
Types of Morphs
There are three primary types of morphs available in Throne and Liberty, each designed for a specific mode of travel or exploration:
1. Dash Morph (Ground Travel)
The Dash Morph allows you to move quicker across the ground by transforming into a fast animal, such as a wolf or a feline. This is your main way of sprinting through the world.
How to Use:
- Activate by pressing the Shift key (or default dash button on your controller).
- Morph into a fast-running creature, such as a wolf or saber-toothed tiger.
- Stamina is consumed as you sprint, and once depleted, you will revert back to your humanoid form.
Dash Morph Progression:
As you dash more frequently, the Dash Morph levels up, providing bonuses such as increased movement speed and stamina efficiency. Example bonuses:
– Level 1: +24% acceleration rate.
– Level 3: +5% dash movement speed.
– Level 6: +36% total acceleration rate.
2. Glide Morph (Air Travel)
The Glide Morph allows you to transform into a bird, enabling you to glide gracefully from high places. This morph is essential for traversing cliffs, mountains, and other elevated terrains.
How to Use:
- Jump from a high spot and press the Space key twice to activate.
- Press W to accelerate forward or S to descend.
- Use A and D to steer left and right.
- Running out of stamina or landing will cancel the glide.
Glide Morph Progression:
Using the Glide Morph levels it up, offering bonuses like increased glide duration or reduced stamina consumption when using the morph.
3. Swim Morph (Underwater Travel)
When you enter water, the Swim Morph automatically engages, transforming you into an aquatic creature, such as an otter or a turtle, allowing faster underwater movement.
How to Use:
- Enter a body of water to automatically morph into your aquatic form.
- Use W, A, S, D to control your movement.
- Stamina depletes as you accelerate, and exiting the water or exhausting stamina will revert you back to your original form.
Swim Morph Progression:
As with the other morphs, the Swim Morph levels up based on usage, providing bonuses like increased swim speed and stamina efficiency.
Special Morphs and Shapeshifting
Beyond travel morphs, Throne and Liberty provides special shapeshifting morphs that are primarily used for strategy and disguise, allowing you to blend in with the environment.
What Are Special Morphs?
Special Morphs allow you to shapeshift into creatures like goblins or scarabs, making it possible to navigate through enemy territories undetected. For instance, if you morph into a goblin, other goblins in the area will not attack you unless you engage in combat.
How to Acquire Special Morphs:
- Defeat specific enemies in the world to unlock their shapeshifting forms. For example, killing a goblin may drop a goblin morph stone, allowing you to adopt that form.
- Some forms may be unlocked through quests, achievements, or in-game purchases.
How to Use Shapeshifting:
- Open the Morph menu, go to the Special tab, and select the creature you wish to morph into.
- While shapeshifted, you cannot fight, and using abilities or attacking will cancel the morph.
Examples of Special Morphs:
- Goblin Butcher: Disguise yourself as a goblin to move through goblin camps unnoticed.
- Scarabs: Morph into this desert creature to avoid detection by other insects in sandy regions.
- Turtle (Lava Immunity): Some special morphs, like the turtle, grant additional effects, such as immunity to lava damage, making it useful in certain environments.
Morph Progression and Growth Points
Each morph type—Dash, Glide, and Swim—has a progression system tied to Growth Points. These points are earned by using the morphs regularly or by unlocking new morph skins.
Growth Points Explained:
- Growth Points are tied to each morph, and leveling up a morph requires accumulating these points.
- Different morphs provide varying amounts of growth points. For example, a basic wolf morph might provide 3 points, while a rare morph like the “Ancient Puma” could provide 30 points.
- Even if you’re not using a specific morph, unlocking it will contribute to your overall progression for that morph type.
How to Level Up Morphs:
- Use your morphs frequently to gain experience. Each morph type levels independently (i.e., Dash, Glide, and Swim morphs do not share experience).
- Unlock new morph skins through quests, achievements, or defeating specific enemies to further boost your growth points.
Lithograph Book and Permanent Buffs
In addition to leveling up your morphs, Throne and Liberty features a Lithograph Book that tracks your morphs and provides permanent buffs.
How It Works:
- Each morph you unlock fills out a page in the Lithograph Book.
- Completing a page in the Lithograph Book grants permanent buffs, such as increased stamina, movement speed, and other passive bonuses.
For example:
– Completing the Piercing Eyes entry in the Lithograph Book gives a permanent boost of +4 maximum stamina.
Tips for Effective Morphing
- Use Dash Morph Often: Since you’ll be running across large distances frequently, your Dash Morph will likely level up the fastest. Aim to unlock as many dash morphs as possible for better bonuses.
- Time Your Glides: When using the Glide Morph, be mindful of your stamina. If you run out of stamina mid-air, you will plummet to the ground, which could result in fall damage.
- Shapeshift Strategically: Use shapeshifting to bypass difficult enemies or sneak through hostile territories. However, remember that any interaction will cancel your disguise, so avoid engaging in combat while shapeshifted.
- Complete the Lithograph Book: Prioritize unlocking new morphs to complete Lithograph entries. The passive buffs you gain from this book will help in both combat and exploration.
Conclusion
The Morph system in Throne and Liberty is a unique and engaging feature that enriches the exploration and gameplay experience. Whether you’re dashing through forests, gliding over mountains, or swimming through deep waters, mastering morphs and shapeshifting will make your journey through the world of Throne and Liberty more efficient and exciting. Unlock new forms, level them up, and enjoy the freedom of movement that the Morph system provides!
