In the second half, Brass's friend Wolfheart faces off against Brass's seemingly kindly mother Azalea. This seems to be the end, but it's actually only halfway through the game. In Chapter 2, Brass faces off against Blackear, up until then the Big Bad, in a one on one battle in front of the Moonpool.However, if you want to grind for prey, the game's currency, she's handy. Again, actually a subversion, because you have to go out of your way if you want to fight anything, and since the only other character in your party at the time leaves the party shortly after she does, she's also useless for level grinding. At the end of Chapter 2, Azalea joins you and accompanies you home after the final battle with Blackear.She makes the battle easier due to her large amount of HP. During Chapter 2, Goldenfur joins you for the battle against Blackear and his warriors on the island.Actually a subversion because at that point in the game, you can only fight enemies if you've previously done some Sequence Breaking. During a patrol, Sandflower, one of RiverClan's warriors, accompanies the player.As well, all of these characters choose their own actions rather than being controlled by the player. Crutch Character: At several points in the game, the player's party is joined by older, more experienced warriors, who make battles a breeze.However, it's pretty easy to fall into a strategy of just using Sweet Breath, Paw Blow, and Shout over and over, given that they don't have any MP cost and are effective against every enemy, including bosses. Boring, but Practical: The game gives you a variety of different attacks to use.
