* EldritchLocation: The game takes place in a series of impossibly vast caverns deep beneath the earth, [[ChaosArchitecture whose layout and architecture change every time Eshe dies]].

** The Valkyrie Encampment is fairly normal, being a lush, jungle-like region with strange rock formations and seemingly endless waterfalls in the background. Then you realize that the only living things in this area are strange metallic plants that can grow through metal, and hideous man-sized arthropods with electrical powers that throw themselves at the player character in suicidal swarms. And the robots that guard the abandoned Valkyrie military base have tumorous organic growths coming out of them…
** The Holy City of the Eschaton is located in a rocky cavern where the walls are covered in carvings of bones and alien eyes, geysers of purple energy erupt from the ceiling, stone stairways float in midair, dark tentacles occasionally form within the shadows (sometimes forming walls to block your passage), and towering structures and statues loom in the background. And that’s not getting into the masked, robed, shrieking monstrosities that call this place home…
** The Cathedral is a gargantuan edifice where AlienGeometries are in full effect: pieces of the structure float in an endless void, giant fists made of tentacles will lash out at the player from patches of dark fog (which can appear out of nowhere), and glowing fungi will spew clouds of poisonous spores if you get too close.

* RegeneratingShieldStaticHealth: Eshe’s Shield will quickly regenerate if she doesn’t get attacked for a few seconds, but her health remains static and can only be replenished using Health Elixirs.
