Early Game Progression:

After the introductory cutscene, you'll begin in Sewer Town - Southwest. Follow the corridor, pick up the Rusty Longsword, and defeat your first enemies. Continue upwards to find Mud Ball x3. After defeating another enemy, jump down and turn left to find Pure Crystal x3. Be prepared to face a Void Beast; use well-timed dodges and attack from behind, then retreat. Master this combat loop for future encounters. You'll receive Luminous Carbon x1 for defeating it.

Continue through the area, defeating enemies and collecting items like Crystallized Remains x1, Mud Ball x2, and Mini Bomb x3. Learn about Weapon Skills and practice backstabbing. Dodge projectiles from rock-throwing enemies or use Mini Bombs. In the next room, grab Stone x5 and the Old Notepad.

The Sewer Cleaner is a fast enemy; dodge its attacks and be ready to move after defeating it due to its self-destruct protocol. It drops the Railgun, your first Spell. Talk to the old man for exposition, then proceed down the tunnel to find Pure Crystal x1.

You'll meet Asteria, the Branchweaver, who needs help repairing a Branch. Branches serve as fast travel points and are used for upgrading stats and equipment. Return to Asteria for Life Dew x3 and choose one of three starting weapons: Blader Longsword (balanced), Blader Swords (faster, less damage), or Blader Greatsword (slower, more damage). Choose based on your preferred playstyle, as other weapons will be found later.
