Completing Jackdaw’s Rest

Attending Flying Class

Here, you’ll meet Madam Kogawa, your Flying Professor, who will guide you through the initial steps of summoning your broom.
First Flight and Broom Acquisition
The flying class isn’t just a cutscene; it’s an interactive tutorial where you will learn the basics of controlling your broom through on-screen prompts.

Once you have purchased your broom you can customize its appearance, and you can do this from the gear menu. Head to the gear section where you change your clothes, and on the right side, you’ll see the brooms option.
