Ravenbound is a fast-paced action game that combines the challenge of a roguelite with an open-world environment inspired by Scandinavian folklore. The player is a Vessel to the Raven, an eternal weapon that must rebuild its power one vessel at a time to free imprisoned gods. The game features permadeath and permanent progression, where the player’s strength is not lost upon death, allowing them to come back stronger each time. If you are looking for a complete list of Traits that can be unlocked and utilized by Vessels in Ravenbound, we have a complete list!

How to Unlock Traits in Ravenbound
There are four traits that are unlocked by default, while the remainder you will have to select to unlock by purchasing them using your Legacy. There are three types of traits: Folk (Vessel’s race), Weapon (determines Vessel’s specialty), and Standard (gives different bonuses). When choosing to unlock a trait, you’ll want to make sure you’re aware of any downsides, though many traits only have benefits.
In addition to Traits, as you explore Ávalt, you can discover cards and unlocks that aid in your progression. New cards are unlocked with each lifetime, some by chance and some by player choice, and the rewards increase as you grow stronger. These cards can provide a variety of benefits, including better armor, new playable classes, magical weapons, and relics that enhance your character, each with different synergies to uncover. It’s crucial for a Vessel to find the right combinations of cards, as it can mean the difference between life and death.
