Tips
  • Conserve ammunition; not all monsters can be killed conventionally.
  • Resting to regain health is risky as it speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable.
  • Blue potions are crucial for healing poison and should be saved for later levels.
  • Pay close attention to conversations with the dead; they provide vital puzzle and strategy information.
  • Keywords are essential for effective communication with the dead.
  • Understand that monsters respawn and you move at a similar pace to them, requiring tactical engagement.
  • Equip crystals strategically, as they take time to charge and have limited uses.
