I dont remember at all what it told me when that feature was introduced. it just seems to make purple light show up on t he walls? i dont understand what its suppose to be doing

When you activate the Argen in an area, it allows you to see dungeon icons from further, as well as the levels of enemies in combat. It also stops you from being ambushed in most situations in that area.

sometimes those fights drop the promotion argen needed to switch to an advanced class as well

If you are familiar with older Wizardry style dungeon crawlers, it gives an ongoing Light and Identification effect to that map section. The major effects of this in Yomi are seeing enemy levels and not getting ambushed.

is there a point to seeing the enemy levels? i mean the very first group of enemies i encountered was like a group of 5 level 10 bugs. and they died in seconds. so it doesnt feel like knowing their levels matters much

One of my earliest fights of that kind dropped a promotion! I thought it was scripted!
