01

Side Bag is reserve space, not a second junk pile

Use it for items that solve a known later problem: burst damage for a boss, a defensive effect for a hazard, or a tablet line you cannot activate yet. Keep the primary grid readable.

Before taking an item, decide whether it belongs in the active route or the reserve. That one question prevents the bag from becoming an untracked inventory.

02

Unlock and verify the chain

The public reference connects Side Bag access to Destiny Inscription. In your current save, capture the node, the unlock prompt, and the first time the extra storage is available.

If the condition changed after early access, label the old path as historical and keep the current UI wording in the main instructions.

03

Swap before the boss, not during the panic

Make the swap at a safe checkpoint before the final room. Choose one burst item, one survival item, and one effect that completes the intended grid; leave everything else out of the boss kit.
