11Overview22Focused Force Palm is a Spirit Skill Tree ability exclusive to Kliff. While in Focus mode, you unleash a Force Palm that penetrates the target. This ability also shatters magical walls and barriers scattered throughout the world, making it essential for accessing hidden areas, secret rewards, and the Greymane Camp fast travel point. It is widely considered one of the most important abilities in the first third of the game.66Skill Details88PropertyDetailSkill TreeSpiritSpirit Cost5 SpiritCharactersKliffParent SkillFocus / Force PalmUnlock TypeWatch and Learn (observation only)1010How to Unlock1111Focused Force Palm cannot be purchased with Abyss Artifacts. It can only be learned by observing a spirit using the ability during Chapter 4's quest line. Here is how to find it:1313Complete the House Roberts faction questline, which requires clearing Fort Perwin (southwest of Hernand) and defeating the Red Nightmare boss and his bandit army.After clearing Fort Perwin, travel west on the main path toward the Institute of Scholastein.You will reach a small passage through a mountain. Inside, a spirit stands before a rock wall with shimmering multicolored stone.Observe the spirit as it demonstrates Focused Force Palm. Kliff automatically learns the skill. The screen darkens and a "Learning in Progress..." notification appears.1515Warning: This skill is missable. If you take an alternate route to Scholastein and advance past this point in the main quest, you will not encounter the spirit guide until Chapter 9. Prioritize unlocking it during Chapter 4 to avoid a long wait.1717How to Use1919Focused Force Palm requires entering Focus mode first, then aiming and releasing:2121PlatformFocusAim / ReleasePlayStationL3 + R3Hold R3 to aim, release R3 to fireXboxLS + RSHold RS to aim, release RS to firePCX keyHold middle mouse to aim, release to fire2323When breaking magical walls, a green clover-shaped icon serves as your aiming reticle.

It also temporarily reduces enemy defense values, similar to standard Force Palm. Against certain bosses, you must hit them with normal Force Palm four to five times first to break their posture before Focused Force Palm can deal damage.3030Exploration3232Focused Force Palm breaks through magical stone walls with shimmering multicolored surfaces. These walls hide rewards, shortcuts, and key items throughout the world. Notable rewards behind breakable walls include:3434The item required to activate the Greymane Camp fast travel teleporterAbyss Artifacts hidden in sealed chambersEquipment, consumables, and crafting materials in hidden rooms3636Combat Tips3838At only 5 Spirit per use, Focused Force Palm is extremely cheap.

Many hidden rewards are tucked behind these walls throughout every region of the game.4242Focused Force Palm pairs naturally with other Focus-branch abilities like Focused Repulsion and Focused Insight. A Focus-centric playstyle lets you slow time, break defenses, counter attacks, and shatter walls all from the same stance.
