I’ve been playing this game for years. I’ve gotten past the blobs. Made it to the shop. But I can’t get much past there.
Is there some pattern, or technique, or something that you’re all doing?
I search rooms. I watch my food. I use my items. Upgrade them. Am patient in battle, and avoid battle if required.
What am I missing?
Thank you
There’s have been some years since I don’t play the game (started to bike instead of taking the metro) but I remember that the thing that switched from hundreds of games losing to winning one each 10 or so games was using all the available resources: potions, seeds, scrolls, throw weapons. Everything can give you a help little help, until you are strong enough. Also, saving the maps scrolls (each vendor have one)to skip past the last levels directly to the final boss was fundamental.
I’m a bit like OP and so far almost every potion and scroll is indecipherable, expect for the scroll of rage which feels pretty useless for a beginner.
Use scrolls of identify on scrolls. You can also cook them in an alchemy pot to turn them into stones, identifying them in the process.
Also you’re guaranteed to get 3 scrolls of upgrade in each chapter.
For potion identification, if a floor have a “puzzle” room, there’s a potion on the same floor to solve it. Like piranha room would have an invisibility potion, trap room a float potion and so on.
