As for fetishes, they grant their wearer a new active ability in combat. Although there are only 8 in the current version, you can find them in the same locations as accessories.

Whether it's breaking rocks, hunting animals, or deciphering clues during special encounters, you'll find plenty of opportunities to acquire these valuable items. We now have 34 valuable items in game!
You'll likely come across these on your journey, but be cautious, as they are often locked and require a lockpick to open. Of course, you can sell them as is, but the price isn't really advantageous. Instead, open them and keep what's inside; it'll surely be worth it. These chests can be quite bulky, so use your lockpicks wisely.
We've also added quest-specific items that are non-disposable and non-sellable. Keep them safe to continue your adventure.
We hope you enjoy these new additions and look forward to discovering them in-game. Thank you for your unwavering support, and stay tuned for exciting new updates and devlogs to come!

"Every decade, the Mka tribe sends caravans of adventurers into the Phithi, the meteorological chaos that keeps the Uwando tribes isolated from each other and makes life outside the refuges almost impossible.
Their mission: to establish diplomatic and trade relations, to explore and reclaim the lands left to the mercy of monsters and pirates, and, most importantly, to plant a new tree city that can become a refuge for the Mka and their allies. Regardless of the success or failure of their mission, the caravans must send the memories they have gained back to the capital, using the crystospheres carried by traveling beetles.
At the start of your run, recruit four characters to lead the caravan and achieve your goals in an ever-changing landscape. Each character has a different job and a unique skill that significantly impact gameplay. It's up to you to explore lost ruins as an archaeologist or to track down massive creatures as a hunter.
While managing your food supplies, explore the different regions and benefit from the various biomes by gathering unique resources. Visit cities, establish diplomatic relations with other tribes, and make both short-term and long-term decisions.
Fight and survive through acid rain, sandstorms, or heatwaves. The weather influences character movement and combat difficulty.
Expand the number of shelters by planting new tree cities, pass on your knowledge to a new caravan through memories stored in the crystal library, and put an end to the meteorological chaos. Don't lose sight of your main goal: reviving the Mother Tree, Umama.
