Tips
  • Conserve ammo and health; resting is risky as it speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable.
  • Save blue potions for later levels, as poison can be deadly.
  • Use the yellow crystal to talk to the dead; keywords are crucial for obtaining information.
  • Be aware that monsters respawn over time.
  • Understand that not all monsters can be killed conventionally.
