Want to unlock all the powers to access new areas in the new Ori? This Ori And The Will Of The Wisps Ability Powers Location Guide will tell you where to find each of the different powers we’ve discovered in the game so far. Some provide access to secret areas while others are often required to progress in the story.
Inkwater Marsh Ability Powers Locations
You can’t miss this one. It’s in the prologue in Swallows Nest, part of the story. You need to grab the vine to open the door to the tree-like house, then climb to the top and search the chest for the feather. You lose this power early on but gain it again as part of the story later. It can’t be missed.
This is your main attacking ability. This one cannot be missed, it is unlocked through story progress. After you defeat the Howler and enter the Howlers Nest, drop to the bottom and travel to the right to find a large tree. Interact with the glowing orb inside.
The legendary Double Jump. This is one of the most important skills for navigating each area in Ori and the Will of the Wisps. It’s available quite early, but you’ll still need to play for 30-45 minutes before you get there. You learn it at Inkwater Marsh, at the location where Ori is standing above.
All attacks now deal 25% more damage. You can’t get this ability until you are further into the story and heading to The Burrows. There’s a
flower music puzzle here. Play the solution backwards to open the door that’s blocking the spirit tree.
You can get this buffed to 25% by planting all of the mysterious seeds.
