Combat & Tactics: Parries, Grappling Hook & Stealth
Plan every encounter with verified systems: precise parries, fast combos, the grappling hook, and the stealth that still matters in the shadows.

How to use the Combat & Tactics hub
The Combat & Tactics hub turns each encounter into a plan built on what official footage shows. Sophia's combat is direct and challenging — precise parries, chained combos with dagger and sword, lethal finishing moves, and a grappling hook that pulls enemies closer or hurls them into hazards.
Stealth still matters. Tense stealth mechanics match the island's unnerving atmosphere, and evasion, environment and misdirection keep Sophia alive against the presence that hunts her.
Everything here is based on official trailers and previews; damage numbers, timing tables and hidden values are not published.
