01 / THE GUIDE
Map Prediction
Before entering a new floor, note any hints or keys you have collected. Compare them to the layout you encounter, observing how early clues foreshadow later obstacles and adjusting your route planning accordingly.
- Collect notes and keys early; they often foreshadow puzzles or locked areas ahead.
- Watch for flammable trees—they can be used strategically against enemies.
02 / THE GUIDE
Weapon Pairing Test
Run a short session using two contrasting items, such as a dagger and a torch. Record damage output and survivability against different enemy types to identify effective combinations.
- Pair a ranged dagger with a melee weapon to handle both distance and close combat.
- Use stealth to bypass groups of weak enemies and preserve health for tougher bosses.
03 / THE GUIDE
Puzzle Recall
After solving a statue puzzle, write down the solution steps. Later, attempt a similar puzzle without notes to gauge how well you retain patterns and clues.
- Collect and read every book you find; they frequently contain puzzle solutions.
- Test interactions with statues before moving on, as they may hide essential keys.
04 / THE GUIDE
Stealth Timing
Select a floor with multiple enemies and attempt to bypass them using only stealth. Measure how often surprise attacks succeed versus being detected, refining your timing.
- Focus on unlocking achievements early to gain access to permanent gear.
- Gather as much gold as possible; it carries over automatically to the next run.
05 / THE GUIDE
Crafting Efficiency
Gather a set of base weapons and magical items, then craft each possible combination. Track which upgrades provide the most noticeable perk during boss encounters.
- Combine weapons with magical items before a boss to gain situational advantages.
- Experiment with potion mixes to discover effects that suit your play style.
