Instead of rapid firing into the group of fire gators, you can use the tiny cloud you used to solve a puzzle earlier to rain water down on them, turning them to stone and then spin-attacking to shatter their statues. Most enemies avoid вЂњbullet-spongeвЂќ syndrome, and instead have some creative way of being taken down that can sometimes earn you a treasure chest if done properly. (Sometimes literally!) But having those characters there to represent each ability and contextualize their unique contributions to your adventure just adds to OwlboyвЂ™s immense charm and personality.ДЄ good variety of enemies, all with different behaviors, weaknesses, and interesting placements within each dungeon, prevent combat-heavy sections from becoming repetitive. You can cycle between buddies instantly using a teleportation device found in a dungeon early on, which adds some internal logic to the convenience of what is essentially switching weapons and abilities on the fly. Picking Geddy up, flying him through dungeons, and shooting at enemies with his blaster controls with ease on a gamepad, like a simplified twin-stick shooter. His self-proclaimed вЂњbest budвЂќ Geddy, for instance, is armed with a tiny short-ranged, but quick-shooting pistol that can blast through wood and some types of rock, and take out most enemies. Instead, Otus must rely on his allies and their unique abilities to fill in where heвЂ™s lacking.

вЂњOtusвЂ™ weakness is a key part of his character, so highlighting his failures and vulnerabilities during dialogue-heavy portions and then turning him into a gun-toting superhero once you enter a dungeon wouldnвЂ™t make sense.
