Tips

- Combat requires careful strategy due to monster respawns, rare ammo, and similar movement speeds.
- Conversations with dead individuals via a magic yellow crystal provide puzzle clues, monster strategies, and story information. Keywords are used to elicit responses.
- Health is regained by resting (risky) or rare blue potions, which also cure poison.
- Items found grant points towards health, and include weapons, crystals with special powers (limited uses except the yellow crystal), potions, miscellaneous puzzle items, and treasure.
