The Power Glyphs, also referred to as simply Glyphs, are objects that appear in the Sonic Boom series. They are a set of nine powerful and ancient relics that can be collected and equipped to the playable characters to improve their abilities.
Description[]
The Power Glyphs resemble ancient stone tablets, each with their own unique coloration and glowing patterns engraved on them.
Overview[]
In Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric the player can equip a Power Glyph to a playable characters on the menu at any time. When equipped, they grant that character a special passive ability in gameplay. This includes improving the damaging power for certain attacks, increasing or granting additional rewards, and more. The player can only equip one Power Glyph to each of the playable characters, but each Power Glyph can be equipped to multiple characters at once.
To obtain Power Glyphs, the player must complete the missions given by the non-playable characters in the game's hub levels (except for Foreman Fred's which is obligatory). Once a mission is completed, the player will be able to pick any of the Power Glyphs available to receive as their reward. However, the player can only pick of each Power Glyph, meaning the selection to choose from shrink for each mission completed. Characters in the game that hand out Power Glyphs include:
- Foreman Fred
- Chef Woody
- Doc Ginger
- Old Tucker
- Perci
- Salty and Pepper (Bygone Island)
- Hayward
- Fastidious Beaver
- Pokey
