Tips and Tricks

## Advice for New Players

* If you defeat the tutorial boss (instead of dying) she will drop a weapon which is pretty good until the next ark. It also unlocks an achievement.
* Stat point-wise, i finished the game at lv24 with Vigor: 13, Savagery: 21, Mastery: 23, Focus: 10. I probably could have done fine with less Vigor and more Sav/Mas. I found that having 2 more mastery than savagery always yielded a higher damage.
* You can only get armor from the forge and only at lv2 & lv4 forge. Lv4 Forge is the max. They are always worth getting.
* Charged attacks are different depending on the weapon. Gauntlets as the charged attack will actually make you go higher with your Up Charge (useful for getting to certain spots)
* If the area you are in has a rare item or trinket, there will be a "chest" icon on the map. Everything else related to map completion 100% is simply those shards.
* In the 4th act you will unlock the ability to redistribute stat points. So if you mess up, don't worry too much.
* All the trinkets are worthwhile EXCEPT the "Whirlwind Ring". You can try it out if you want, but i found it to be extremely annoying and wasted my energy.
* Teleport ring was my favorite. When you use your Up Charge attack it will do a teleport attack to the nearest enemy. SUPER USEFUL FOR FLYING ENEMIES
* Gauntlets were IMO the best weapon until end-game. They provided a boost to both stun and crit which was nice.
* When trying to reach areas that require hitting those orange orbs, do yourself a favor and use A SWORD. The attack ark makes it WAAAY easier.
* There is only one weapon to find in ark 4/5 and it is superior damage wise to anything else you can craft. So make sure to find it for the final boss. Worth noting that I still found it worth crafting a gauntlet in my Lv4 Forge
* Stun means nothing on boss fights when they have their shield up. Once their shield is broken, use a charged attack to knock them down for free hits. They will always regain more shield once they get up.
* For the final boss i found the cerulean armlet to be a hinder as i was constantly out of mana for my teleport charged attack. If you get to the final boss keep in mind that you might benefit from taking it off mid-fight.
* Early on, you have to traverse the map completely on foot. But later, you’ll start unlocking Nexuses (Nexii?) that allow you to teleport to another Nexus. There’s still some backtracking involved, but it’s a lot better than going back all the way on foot.
* Use the map to see whether you’ve gotten all the loot and treasure in an area. If it says 100, you can rest easy and move on. Otherwise, look for hidden passages or high platforms you may have overlooked.
* If you’re finding the game too difficult, remember that you can grind for more currency. Note that the same currency is used to buy items as to level up, so don’t go squandering it. But it’s not too hard to find more if you spend a little extra time grinding. Most enemies respawn when you revisit an area, and they should be easier to take down once you’re stronger, giving you some easy loot.
* Fairly early on, you can reach a chest with a Charted Greataxe in it. It’s a powerful weapon that I highly suggest going for. It’s only slightly hidden and pretty easy to access, considering how great it is.
* You can dash through through fire-breathing statues in your way or smash them with your axe to get rid of them for good!
* The game saves automatically and puts you back at the last REST point before you quit the app. If you die, you also get sent back to the rest point, and there is no penalty for dying.You will have to find your way back to where you were, though!

Good luck new players, i hope this helps :)

## Beating the game as Level 1

This will be one of the hardest achievements you have ever done.

First off since you won't be using any of the souls to level up, you will be spending them on Mending flask upgrades and buying trinkets. You seriously only need to buy 1 trinket, the Witches Watch(act 4)

Make sure you collect all of the treasures prior to fighting the final boss.

Use Charge attacks when only necessary. By act 4 you should have a lvl 4 Moonlight Rosary trinket.

If using touchscreen controls I recommend never holding the atk button down because it will make Charge attacks get wasted.

### **Act 4 slayer boss (as lvl 1) tips**

* You must have lvl4 Moonlight Rosary trinket, 9 Mending flasks, Witches watch trinket, windcutter, the champion, Nelaag's Will, and the highest level armor.
* From the rest statue equip the Moonlight Rosary and then rest. Now switch the Rosary out for Witches watch.
* Equip Nelaag's Will as primary attack an the Champion as charged attack
* Learn all the attacks slayer will use for both versions if her.
* Stop her from becoming fireform. When she is about to transform hit her with a charged attack only if her shield is completely depleted. This will postpone the transformation.
* When she does go into firemode the difficulty is enhanced immensely . But keep in mind that when her Shield is entirely depleted when she is in her fire form one charge attack will break the fire form.
* Never hold down attack button if using touchscreen controls. Instead only tap the attack button.
* When shield is broken switch to windcutter for main attack. When shield is present use Nelaag's Will for attacks.
* most of slayer attacks can be dodged twice. With you out of the way but still being able to use that slowing effect of the watch to your advantage.
* You can prevent fire form easily clear up to when she spawns her copy.
* when she spawns her copy only Focus on the main slayer as much as possible.
* Utilize the copies attacks to further Slow Time and attack the Slayer even more so . When the Slayer is in fire form and the copy is present life becomes very very difficult.
* When in fire form try to force the Slayer to use the slam at one end of the map .
* When the slam attack is about to happen in fire form when running away tap the Dodge once while running and then press and hold the Dodge . That should get you away quick enough because that slam attack as you will learn is a one shot kill it don't matter how much health you have it kills you in one hit .
* Slam attack in original form has a smaller hit window if you are behind the Slayer opposed to you being in front of the Slayer the distance is less from behind her for her to perform the one shot kill on you. It is also possible in this form to actually Dodge the slam attack altogether and if you are behind her you only have to do one Dodge while if you were in front of her you would have to also Dodge when the blade comes down this dodge is tricky though very very tricky.
* When down to the last 5% of her health use windcutter for attacking.
* if you need Charge attack switch to Moonlight Rosary trinket and run back and forth until you have maxed your Charge attacks. Don't try attacking if your evading the fire form and the copy. Just Dodge as much as possible and don't let them hit you because they will kill ou nearly every time because if 1 hits you your most likely to be hit 3 more times quickly and that will be your death. You only can take 3 hits on a full health bar.
* Never touch the fire.
* this might take months to complete. Or a few hundred attempts to beat this slayer.
* It is possible to beat.
