Crystal Sphere



The Crystal Sphere is an addition to the player's heads-up display in the Catacomb Adventure Series. An evolution of the Compass from Catacomb 3D, the Crystal Sphere is much more useful, not only showing the player which way is north, but functioning as an early-warning system of sorts, giving the player the real-time positions of enemies relative to the player on the sphere. It also reveals when the player shoots and also when the player is being shot at.

A very useful piece of equipment, the sphere has only two flaws; it will only detect enemies aware of the player's presence, and it can't detect certain enemies on its own. To upgrade its effects, the player will need to find Jewels that will let it detect additional enemies.
