Tips
  • Combat requires careful planning; running and gunning is not effective.
  • Monsters respawn, so manage your engagements.
  • Conserve blue potions for poison cures, as they are rare.
  • Resting to regain health speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable.
  • Pay attention to dialogue keywords to unlock information from the dead.
  • Some weapons use different ammo types like HE and Sabot.
  • Crystals have limited uses and longer recharge times after each use, except the yellow crystal.
  • Treasures increase score and health.
