The verified update
Yes. Solving Power Statue challenges frees dormant Power Wisps and yields fruit that can improve stamina and unlock abilities.
The evidence was checked against Natsume preorder announcement and is current to 2026-07-31. The date attached to the underlying source is 2026-05-12.
What the source establishes
- The loop begins with hidden statues
- the Forest Goddess Statue is the exchange point
- rewards affect player capability.
Why it matters
Describe the confirmed progression connection without publishing invented costs or best-upgrade rankings.
That distinction helps players make a release, platform, route, story, or purchase decision using the narrow fact actually supported by the source.
The remaining boundary
The number of upgrades, fruit economy, and ability tree remain unknown.
Any later change should be dated and linked to a new first-party notice rather than silently overwriting the historical source.
