This form allows her to enter an “Awakened burst mode,” deal more damage, and open sealed doors.  • As part of the trials, she must also chase after the Fox Mask through the shrine’s interiors.  • Ultimately, she confronts and must defeat a “Rinko-Like Entity” (a monstrous version of a head priest that resembles Rinko) in the Main Hall.  • Enemies encountered include: Birthing Monsters, Blade Leg Monsters, Drum Monsters, Shackled Monsters, “Oi-omoi,” and others.  • Along the way, there are collectibles and hidden items (Omamori, inventory upgrades, Ema) that require use of the Fox Arm and exploration of previously locked areas.
