Tips
  • Conserve ammo; some monsters require specific tactics or cannot be killed conventionally.
  • Resting speeds up time and leaves you vulnerable; use it cautiously.
  • Blue potions are rare and cure poison, essential for later levels. Save them.
  • The yellow crystal for conversations has unlimited uses.
  • Other crystals have limited uses and require charging time.
  • Pay attention to puzzle clues from conversations and item descriptions.
  • Treasure items increase your score and health.
