In the world of Afterimage, Confluences are mystical trees imbued with a unique energy, serving as vital points of connection within the sprawling landscape of Engardin. These trees manifest in two distinct forms, each playing a crucial role in the player's journey. Both types of Confluences offer rejuvenation, allowing Renee to recover her strength and prepare for the challenges ahead.
Crucially, resting at any Confluence, whether Great or Lesser, resets the map of Engardin, respawning enemies and allowing for the collection of resources that may have been depleted. This makes strategic use of Confluences vital not only for healing and saving, but also for managing the game's dynamic world. In addition, using a Resting Potion, Renee can teleport from any location to any Confluence, feature that can come in handy in certain situations.
Great Confluence[]
Great Confluence
Great Confluences 
are towering, ancient trees that resonate with immense power. These serve as major hubs, acting as fast travel points that allow instant free transportation between widely separated regions.
Discovering and activating Great Confluences is essential for efficient exploration and navigating Engardin. Each area will contain only one of this type of Confluence.
Lesser Confluence[]
Lesser Confluence
Lesser Confluences 
, while smaller and less visually imposing than their greater counterparts, are equally important. These trees offer respite and rejuvenation, providing safe havens where Renee can rest, recover, and save her progress. They are often found in strategic locations, offering crucial support during challenging explorations.
While they don't offer the same fast travel capabilities as Great Confluences, Lesser Confluences are indispensable for survival and progression. They can be found in multiple locations around the same area, providing crucial save points.
