White World Tendency Events

General Information

White World Tendency decreases enemy's HP, Damage Resistance, Souls, and Item drops, but offers more healing items.

To maintain Pure White World Tendency in a particular World, you must ensure that you do not die in Body Form in that world. The easiest way to ensure this is to commit suicide in the Nexus whenever you regain your Body. Killing the named NPC's that appear in Pure White World Tendency will push the World Tendency back towards Neutral.

Boletarian Palace

1-1 Boletarian Palace

• The door on the left near the starting point will be unlocked. Requires Pure White or Pure Black World Tendency.
  • Once unlocked, it will stay unlocked even if World Tendency changes later.
  • Pick up the set of Brushwood Armor at the bottom of the pit. This is the heaviest armor set, so bring your Ring of Herculean Strength along. Remember that heavy items will disappear forever if you examine them and then leave the level without picking them up.
    • Brushwood Helmet, Wt 6.9
    • Brushwood Armor, Wt 17.3
    • Brushwood Gauntlets, Wt 10.4

    • Large Brushwood Shield, Wt 13.0

  • In the same pit, on one of the beams, is a Colorless Demon's Soul, don't miss it! Look for a broken beam near the ladder, walk carefully into the gap. If you walk straight, you will land on the beam below. You can get further down by carefully dropping to a lower beam; you should line the jump up from the central beam. Walking straight and turning on the narrow beams can be made simpler by using a bow in sniper mode. See YouTube video

2. Fight your way through the miners, until you reach a large pit.
3. Destroy the crates to your right to clear the path.
4. Jump down the platforms carefully until you see a large cave.

• 2F West, Lord Rydell can be rescued if you have the key from 3-2 (see below). The reward is a Dull Rat's Ring.

  • Rescuing Rydell has no effect on his Black Phantom form. Remember that Latria's Archstone will be darker due to its position at the back of the screen, so suicide in Body Form one more time to ensure Pure Black when going for his BP form.
