Placing a bomb in crawling-stance close to an enemy will auto-attach the bomb to it, which will be your only option to defend yourself in small tubes. 

TREASURE MEDALS AND WOZAN MINERS

Use treasure medals to break walls and rescue Wozan miners. Wozan will support you in boss battles with health drops. 10 Wozan is equal to one assist. 

Step close to a cage door and press the Action key [LB].

You can also feed treasure medals to dark creatures called Soul Eaters by approaching them and holding the Action key for a longer time. This will grant you a Soul-Eater batch right next to your health indicator and a one-time resurrection in battle. 

Be careful. Feeding too many medals to Soul Eaters might result in the inability to rescue all Wozan miners. 

PROCEDURAL MAP

Keyboard players use [Ctrl] + [Arrow Keys]

The map shows the location of all Wozan, as well as major powerups (P) and boss rooms. Door types are indicated by the colored lines separating some rooms. Minor powerups like missile tanks, hacking protocols and treasure medals will not be shown. 

- Green key icon = Room solved. You beat an encounter, saved a puzzle or freed the Wozan.

- Blue checkmark icon = You found a powerup in that room. 

- P-Icons will persist after collecting an upgrade!

- <!> = An important key room you need to remember, maybe come back later if you find yourself unable to proceed in such a room.
