Tips
  • Conserve ammo; monsters respawn, and you move at similar speeds.
  • Save blue potions for poison cures in later levels.
  • Resting to regain health is risky as it speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable.
  • Explore thoroughly to find all items and treasures.
  • Pay close attention to dialogue keywords for puzzle hints.
  • Understand that not all monsters can be killed conventionally.
