Combat Ability unlocks
Verified
Supernatural Combat Abilities are earned by defeating Resonants (major boss encounters); some offer branching ability choices.
Verified
Not everything can be unlocked in a single playthrough; that is intentional.
Traversal unlocks
Needs review
Traversal abilities such as Reach are unlocked through Fault-style missions (official preview gameplay).
Not yet verified A full ordered list of every traversal gate is not verified here yet.
Suggested priority
Recommendation
Follow the active story objective first, then backtrack for optional Resonants or Fault missions when the log or map clearly requires a new tool.
