Inkwater Marsh is the first area you’ll explore in Ori and the Will of the Wisps. There are four Trees to find here. They’ll give you the Spirit Edge (sword), Double Jump, Regenerate, and Spirit Arc (bow) abilities.

You’ll pick up four Spirit Shards here: Magnet, Sticky, Resilience, and Reckless. Magnet pulls in enemy drops from farther away. Sticky makes you stick to walls. Resilience and Reckless both change the way to deal and take damage.

There are two NPCs in the area. The first you’ll meet is Lupo, who will sell you a map of the area. You’ll also find Opher who can sell you new offensive weapons beyond your Spirit Edge.
