Forspoken – How To Unlock Parkour
Athia is a huge place, with four main regions and a host of wilderness besides. This isn’t a place you’ll be able to make progress through without some serious speed.
Thankfully, early in Forspoken’s second chapter, Frey gains access to the Flow magic. This particular magic allows Frey to perform parkour moves, sprinting across the environment of Athia and dodging enemy attacks.
Forspoken Parkour – Flow
Once Flow has been unlocked, Frey’s movement capabilities grow exponentially. Activating Flow grants Frey a huge boost in movement speed, and she will automatically vault over obstacles and enemies while Flow is active. Flow runs off an energy meter, and once it drains, Frey will be temporarily unable to activate Flow again until the meter recharges. Thankfully, this only takes a few seconds, but it can still leave you vulnerable when up close with enemies.
Additionally, momentarily activating Flow and moving will allow Frey to perform a dodge in combat, without using up too much of the Flow meter.
