FAQ (en)

A list of commonly asked questions and answers (in English).

## General

### The phone's screen is too small. Can I play on a computer?

UCdevs' website allows you to play on a computer, but it doesn't have the Adventurers Guild. To also play the guild, download a free Android emulator (see Adventurers Guild on computer for more details).

### How to complete secret achievements?

There are 4 secret achievements. 3 require you to solve a specific nonogram and the 4th is related to guild.

* Play > Black-and-White Nonograms > 30 - 50 > **Katana** (40x30).
* Play > Black-and-White Nonograms > 30 - 50 > **Kabuki** (32x50).
* Play > Colored Nonograms > Colored Nonograms by belko61 Part 2 > **Dream came true** (75x75).
* Adventurers Guild > Airship > Complete 20 flights (to any destination).

### How to disable sound?

The sound is coming from broken ads, which Google doesn't want or know how to fix. Here are some possible solutions:

* **[Temporary solution]** Remove the app from "Recent apps".
* **[Temporary solution]** Go to the title screen > Play. There should be an interstitial ad. When this ad is closed the music will stop playing.
* **[Semi-permanent solution]** Disable Wifi (disconnect from internet). Because of no internet access, the ads won't be able to load. Although there must be no sound coming from ads in the first place (see points above).
* **[Permanent solution]** Buy VIP. This removes all interstitial (and banner) ads. The optional ads in Bourse are still available, but those do not cause the bug.

See Problems with ads for more details.

## Adventurers guild

### I'm new. How to develop faster, get resources?

The whole point of the guild is to give the player a little extra content on top of nonograms. Solve nonograms and follow the building order on this page: Tips for Adventurers Guild.

This largely depends on your goal. Geologist (Wood and Stone) is generally good. Adventurer (Coins, Gold ingots and Treasures) is also nice, if you need a lot of Coins. If you are solving nonograms with weapons, Samurai and Zen Master are your best options.

Weapons (Mortar, Katana, Arrows, etc.) don't reduce loot. Using hints (lightbulb) **does** reduce loot - use Fans and/or Boomerangs instead.

Depository in unlocked with Warehouse lvl. 5 and serves as a "safe" for items. While items are in the depository they can't be used for anything. If you want to use them, you can take them out of the depository.

Then you can throw every weapon in the cauldron and you will still have 10 Arrows left. After you are done throwing weapons in the cauldron, you can take these Arrows from the depository and go on an expedition.

## Dungeon

### I just built the dungeon, what should I do here?

Dungeon is an RPG (Role Playing Game) in which the player controls a hero and battles enemies (monsters). After entering a dungeon the player has to tap a tile where they want the hero to move and the hero will "float" to that area. Heroes can encounter enemies and traps, for which they will need "mental power" (in-game resource) to overcome them. More information: Dungeon: RPG.

### What is the best hero to pick in a dungeon? What skills to learn first?

All heroes have the same parameters, they only differ in appearance. Best skills to learn are the passive skills like Martial arts, Hardening and Agility. Smashing blow lvl. 2 is also very important. In order to progress further you should also learn Doctor and Equipment preparation. Traps should not be learned for early levels as the MP (mental power) spent is not worth the little amount of health lost.

### How can I transfer items to the hero? Why mushrooms and berries don't transfer?

While a hero is in the dungeon no items can be transferred to them. Items can only be transferred before entering the dungeon. Mushrooms and Ultraviolet Cherries can't be transferred to the dungeon. Only those which are found in the current level can be used. They can be cooked into Mushroom rice (Bento) and Cherry bun, and those can then be taken into the dungeon.

### In the dungeon at level 1C, I met a dragon with 500 mental protection. What to do with him?

When you make a move (any move) with the hero, the dragon will poof away. (Please take a screenshot of the text the dragon says.)

### I passed 1B, opened 1C, but I can't get into 1B anymore. Why?

"A" levels are always open. "B" and "C" levels close after the hero exits them (either successfully or unsuccessfully). To open 1B, you must first complete 1A. To open 1C, you must first complete 1B.

### I went around the whole dungeon 2 times, killed and looted everything, but the "Complete dungeon" button does not appear, and the passage counter shows 90%. Help!

In order to complete the level, you must open all violet chests, collect all Ancient pages from violet book podiums and slay the boss.

1. Look behind pillars and cages (they become invisible when hero is one tile away).
2. Look for any unopened doors (especially if you have a key).
3. Look behind boxes, crates or other objects.
4. If you are in 2B and above, also look for a lever on the floor, ladder on the wall or a trapdoor on the floor and tap on it.
5. Go to stairs (the entrance) and pick a wall. Follow that as you have a hand on that wall. Once you reach the stairs, choose the opposite wall and follow that. This way you will explore the whole dungeon, except there are any "roundabouts" in the middle of the level.
6. Use Ariadne's thread, if you have any. This will lead the hero to a missed violet chest, violet book podium or the boss - or to a closed room which contains these goals.
