</>What does Deep Breath (Endless Air) do?
Deep Breath keeps Ori's breath full underwater. Swim as deep and as long as you like: the breath meter stays topped up and Ori never starts to drown. It's great for exploring flooded areas for hidden Spirit Light and secrets, or for lining up tricky underwater routes without a timer ticking in your head. Enemies and poisoned water still hurt, though: the air timer is gone, not the danger. Nothing is saved to your game, so switching it off simply puts breathing back to normal.
</>What is Deep Breath (Endless Air)?
Deep Breath removes the air timer from underwater exploration in Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Flip on Never Run Out Of Air and Ori's breath meter refills the moment it starts to drain, so you can search flooded areas for Spirit Light without panic. Enemies and poisoned water still hurt.

</>Common questions about Deep Breath (Endless Air)
What does Deep Breath do in Ori and the Will of the Wisps?
Deep Breath is a ProjectMods mod for Ori and the Will of the Wisps that stops Ori from running out of air. It has one switch, Never Run Out Of Air. While it's on, Ori's breath meter refills whenever it starts to drain underwater, so Ori never begins to drown no matter how deep or how long you swim. It's made for relaxed underwater exploration: checking every flooded corner of Niwen for Spirit Light, taking the long way through a tunnel, or simply enjoying the water without a timer in the back of your head. Switch it off and breathing works normally again.
Does Deep Breath teach Ori the Water Breath skill?
No. Deep Breath doesn't teach Water Breath and doesn't add any skill to your save. Water Breath is a separate movement skill in Ori and the Will of the Wisps, and Deep Breath works whether or not Ori has learned it: while Never Run Out Of Air is on, Ori's breath meter simply stays topped up. Because nothing is saved into your game, switching it off returns breathing to exactly how it was, and Ori's skill list is untouched. If you want the real skill on your save instead, Full Kit, another ProjectMods mod for the game, can teach Water Breath directly.
Does Deep Breath protect Ori from enemies and poisoned water?
No. Deep Breath only takes care of air. While Never Run Out Of Air is on, Ori can't drown in Ori and the Will of the Wisps, but enemies in the water can still hurt Ori, and poisoned water still does its usual damage. Think of it as removing the breath timer rather than making Ori safe underwater, so keep an eye on your health during long swims. If you'd like to explore flooded areas with nothing able to hurt Ori, pair Deep Breath with Unbreakable Light, another ProjectMods mod for the game, which blocks every source of damage while its own switch is on.
Can I switch Deep Breath on and off in the middle of a swim?
Yes. Never Run Out Of Air lives in the launcher's mod panel for Deep Breath and can be switched on or off while Ori and the Will of the Wisps is running, even halfway through a swim. Turn it on and Ori's breath meter refills as soon as it starts to drain. Turn it off and breathing goes back to normal straight away, so the meter starts draining again and you'll want to reach the surface in time. Nothing is saved into your game, so there's nothing to undo afterwards: the switch is the whole story.
Why use Deep Breath in Ori and the Will of the Wisps?
Deep Breath is for players who love Niwen's underwater stretches but not the countdown that comes with them. With the breath meter always full, you can hunt flooded areas of Ori and the Will of the Wisps for hidden Spirit Light and secrets, take a slower route to look around, or retry a tricky underwater passage without surfacing between attempts. It's also a gentle help for younger or newer players who find drowning stressful. And because it changes nothing in your save, you can use it for one difficult swim and switch it straight back off.
