Early in Pragmata, you will start noticing clusters of glowing blue crystallised matter embedded in doorways, corridors, and along walls. These formations, known as 'Lim', are hard to miss. They are visually striking, they block progress into certain areas, and they appear well before you have any means of dealing with them. The first time you approach one, Diana will tell you directly that you cannot pass through it. Most players will take that at face value, mark the location mentally, and move on. That is exactly the right instinct.
What the game does not tell you is that Lim is not a permanent obstacle. It is a signpost. Every cluster you cannot pass is a marker for something worth returning to, and the game is quietly cataloguing your patience.
The question is what, exactly, changes between your first encounter with Lim and the moment it stops being a problem. The answer is not a weapon upgrade, not a new ability unlocked from a skill tree, and not something you can buy or grind towards. It comes through story progression alone, which means there is nothing to do but keep playing.
How to unlock the Lim Eraser
After completing the first area, you will move on to the second, called the Mass Production Array. This level has its own main objectives to work through, and during the course of solving them you will come across an upgrade called the Lim Eraser. This is Diana's ability, not yours. The Lim Eraser allows her to dissolve crystallised Lim matter on contact, clearing it from paths, walls, and blocked rooms entirely.
You cannot rush this unlock or find it early. It is tied directly to the Mass Production Array's main story progression, so simply playing through the level as intended will hand it to you naturally. You will not need to hunt for it.
How to use the Lim Eraser
Once the upgrade is obtained, using it is straightforward. Approach any cluster of Lim crystals and hold L1. Diana will activate the Lim Eraser and melt the formation, clearing the path. The game will prompt you the first time with the relevant button indicator, so you will not miss the moment it becomes available.
Go back and explore
With the Lim Eraser unlocked, every previously blocked area across the earlier levels is now open. It is worth returning to the first area and any other locations where you noted Lim clusters during your initial run-through. These spots almost always conceal items, collectibles, or routes that were deliberately gated behind the upgrade, so clearing them out is rarely a wasted trip.
