Of course, this slight wonkiness means you’re likely to be caught out by an enemy here and there. I ended up taking an almost unseemly joy setting up acid mines, hiding behind a corner, and whistling - beckoning soldiers to their doom like some ugly, green little Siren. As you progress through the game, skill points earned by completing story missions and meeting side-goals can be spent on expanding both his mystical abilities and the kinds of tools he can craft. The perfect fall guy for your crime spree.Īside from magic, Styx also has some more mundane methods at his disposal: poison darts, pockets of sand to snuff out torches, some glass breakables to toss as a distraction, the usual tools of the trade. He can be used to create a (almost certainly fatal) distraction, or as a second set of hands when solving a puzzle or pulling off a particularly complicated heist, and when you’re done with him, you can make him explode in a cloud of poisonous smoke. At any time, Styx can choose to make himself invisible (perfect as a last-second panic button when your cover is about to be blown) or mystically vomit up a clone of himself that can be independently controlled.
What really sets Styx apart is his exotic collection of magical abilities. Of course, I suppose every thief or spy can shimmy up a wall or stuff a body in a broom closet these days (even if they don’t look as good doing it).
