Use our Possessor(s): Unlock the “Resonance” Trophy by Finding All the Abilities Guide to learn where to get all of Luca and Rhem’s demonic abilities.
I had a great time with Possessor(s), which I speak of in my review, but I felt that there were things I wish I knew going in. So, with that in mind, here’s something things to bear in mind as you head into this great game.

Possessor(s): Unlock the “Resonance” Trophy by Finding All the Abilities Guide
Like all good Metroidvanias, Possessor(s) grants you new abilities as you progress through the game. These will give you the ability to get into previously accessible areas. Thinking about that, here’s the full list of the abilities you can find. That way you know not to waste time trying to get into an area you can’t. You’re looking for strange looking multicoloured fleshy things (see the image below).
All abilities listed in the order found. Please note this isn’t designed as a walk through, more a guide where to find them. I suspect you can’t get the next ability without getting the one before it.
Whip
The first ability you find, very early in the game. This lets you grab grapple points to swing across gaps and to ledges. It also lets you grab enemies, and move large objects. Most importantly, and something it doesn’t tell you, you can use it to grab sections of walls that have a crack in them, indicated by an orange glowing crack. The wall grabbing is only on vertical, full walls. I spent way too long not knowing this, hindering my progress.
The whip is located super early on in the game, I can’t imagine it’s possible to miss this. It’s in the Buried Streets area, at the beginning of the game. Just head right and keep heading right until you can’t go any further.
Parry
Allows you to deflect projectiles and enemy attacks. Timing it right can do stun damage to larger enemies, opening them up for lots of attacks.
You can find the Parry ability in the Skyscraper Remnants area.
Slide Breaker
This ability lets you slide through small gaps. It also lets you break through small gaps that have sections of wall in the way. You’ll spot these as they have an orange crack in them.
The Slide Breaker ability is located in the Campus Hill area.
Wall Run
This lets you jump to a wall and then run up it allowing you to reach higher up areas, providing there’s a wall space that allows it.
You can find the Wall Run ability in the Sunken City.
Water Dash
Gives you the ability to dash when underwater. You can use this to break through walls (orange glowing cracks in the wall) as well damage underwater enemies. Use this ability to travel up through pouring water / waterfall type areas of the game to get higher / pass through them (you’ll just be forced down without it)
You can find the Water Dash ability in the Rusted Dockyard location.
Air Sprint
.Allows you to dash across a much larger space in the air.
You can find the Air Dash ability in the Inverted Plaza. This is the area above the Skyscraper Remnants. It’s on your way to find one of the eyes. I suspect this is the last one you can get.
Finding all the abilities will nab you the “Resonance” trophy.
I hope that was helpful. Be sure to keep an eye out for more Possessor(s) guides.
