Here's a few hints and tips for anyone who is starting the game and would like to know a few tricks!

- Undead monsters such as the Ghost, Lich, Zombie and Reaper can be damaged by casting the healing staff at them or throwing healing items such as health potions.

- The strongest sword in the game is the Hero Blade and the best shield is the Hero Shield. The Dragon Blade will cause extra damage agains dragon enemies (Red Dragon and Dragon Skull)

- If you are in a sticky situation, use your items! While it may be tempting to try to save items for later, it's often better to just use them and ensure your survival for a little longer. When you die you lose everything in this game and items are of no use to you if you're dead!

- Drinking health potions or restore potions when your HP is at maximum will increase your max HP by a couple of points.

- Eating bread when your fullness is at max will increase your max fullness by a few percent.

- Try to learn what abilities each type of monster has and adapt your strategy accordingly. You should try and keep your distance from monsters such as the Lich (who can freeze you) or the Hydra (causes confusion).

- Most status effects wear off after a certain amount of turns however poison status (which stops HP regeneration) lasts for as long as you are on the current stage. As soon as you go to the next stage the poison will be cured.

- The Mega Bomb Scroll deals huge damage to all nearby enemies but will also damage you, causing your HP to drop to 1! Use this scroll very carefully!

- Try not to let the enemies surround you, it is often a good idea to try and fight the enemies while in corridors, as they can not overwhelm you as easily.

- Beware cursed items! If you equip a cursed item you will not be able to remove it, unless you find and use an Uncurse Scroll. You can also remove equipped cursed items by finding and stepping on an Unequip Trap.

- The Fullness Ring will slow down the rate that your fullness decreases meaning that you will be able to surive longer without eating as often.

-Watch the monsters carefully and observe how they move, there are a number of different AI patterns in the game and not all monsters will behave in the same way. Learn which monsters will chase you and which ones can be easily avoided.

- Traps only appear in rooms, they never appear in corridors.

- Have fun and don't give up! The game is different every time it is played, so if it goes badly one time maybe your next run will be more successful (Or not!)
