Eldritch Esoterica



Eldritch Esoterica (陰陽の大全集) is one of Zexion's lexicons in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. It can be upgraded to Eldritch Esoterica+.

Design
The Eldritch Esoterica lexicon is rectangular with covers that curve upward slightly at the ends. The spine of the book sports a white oval with a pale green symbol comprised of three spikes at the top and bottom. Both covers are decorated by a large, blue heart-shaped symbol with a pale green outline. The rest of the lexicon is black.

“Eldritch” can mean “supernatural”, “weird”, or “eerie”. “Esoterica” can refer to things that are impractical, understood by few, or private. A collection is a group of related objects or information. “Yin Yang” is a Chinese philosophical concept of spiritual balance.

Gameplay
It allows Zexion to perform extremely well in midair, and also highly increases his Strength. Eldritch Esoterica's combo finisher involves Zexion transforming the Esoterica's shape into that of a bird and making it fly, making the enemy, whether airborne or in the ground, take massive damage.
