  • Resting speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable; use it cautiously.
  • Blue potions are rare and crucial for curing poison; save them for later levels.
  • The yellow crystal for conversations can be used an unlimited number of times.
  • Picking up items grants points, with every two points awarding one health point.
