Tips

Conserve ammunition and health; resting is risky and speeds up time.
Blue potions are crucial for curing poison and should be saved for later levels.
The yellow crystal for conversations has unlimited uses.
Pay attention to clues from conversations to solve puzzles and defeat monsters.
Not all monsters can be killed conventionally; some may respawn.
Players move at roughly the same speed as monsters, so direct confrontation may not always be the best strategy.
