Tips

Conserve ammunition and health; resting is risky due to time acceleration and vulnerability.
Blue potions are crucial for healing and curing poison; save them for later, more dangerous encounters.
Utilize the yellow crystal to gather information from the dead, which is vital for puzzle-solving and strategy.
Be aware of the five-day in-game timer; plan your exploration and combat accordingly.
Not all monsters can be defeated conventionally; learn their weaknesses and the best approach.
