Tips
  • Zombies are very weak and can be killed by a finisher at any time.
  • Fire Golems' attacks (charge, close-range explosive, melee) can be avoided with the dash button. Get away from them before they self-destruct.
  • Blue Dragons' attacks (melee combo, ground slam fire shockwave, fire bolt) are telegraphed and can be avoided by dashing at the right time.
  • Keep an eye on all Demon Soldiers when fighting, as they usually attack in groups.
  • Remember the location of the blue crystals blocking a path, as you will need a different piece of equipment to get through later.
  • Artefacts found can be traded to Vulgrim for souls.
    • 500 Blue Souls (after giving them to Vulgrim)
