Learn how to start Rogue Legacy 2, including the tutorial, first heir Sir Lee, and the Manor upgrades.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin the game and pay attention to the introductory tutorial sequence, which sets up the story. You start as an unnamed character in sepia tones.
  2. 2
    Navigate the initial castle area, following on-screen prompts. You can interact with objects like statues and chandeliers.
  3. 3
    Encounter early enemies that are easy to defeat or ignore.
  4. 4
    Proceed through a hallway with statues to a door.
  5. 5
    Enter a large chamber and defeat the king sitting inside.
  6. 6
    After defeating the king, you begin your legacy. You will start as a new knight in full color, known as Sir Lee, a paladin with no traits, unique stats, or skills, making him a weak starting character.
  7. 7
    You can explore the Manor to upgrade skills with collected gold or practice controls in the field.
  8. 8
    When ready, enter the castle. You will arrive in the lobby room, which contains a teleporter (usable after discovering another one), the golden door to the inner castle, the map, and the journal.
  9. 9
    Proceed past the lobby into the main dungeon area.
Tips
  • The game incorporates permadeath (permanent death) and randomly generated levels, a combination the developers call a "rogue-lite".
  • Instead of starting over completely after death, you choose a new heir, retaining collected gold for equipment and stat upgrades. This makes death a necessary part of progression.
  • The castle is composed of 4 main areas plus a fifth smaller one: The Castle, The Forest, The Maya, The Darkness, and sometimes the Inner Castle.
  • The randomly generated levels mean the arrangement and order of rooms vary each playthrough, though the rooms themselves are pre-built and may contain different monsters over time.
  • The goal is to progress as far as possible and improve with each subsequent heir.
  • Use a mixture of maneuvering and swift attacking to succeed in the dungeon.
  • Don't worry if you die quickly at first; the game is designed that way. Your second run will be different with upgrades purchased using gold from your previous attempt.
