Getting Started

You start in Sanctuary, a safe town. Walk up to the glowing NPCs and pinch to interact:

Waystone — Travel to unlocked dungeons.
Captain — Pick up bounty quests for gold & XP rewards.
Trader — Buy and sell equipment.
Keeper — Stash items you want to keep safe.

Dungeons & Progression

Use the Waystone in town to enter a dungeon biome. Each biome has 4 floors of increasing difficulty, ending in a boss fight on floor 4.

Kill the boss to unlock the next biome. Biomes in order:

The Crypts — Skeletons, ghouls, wraiths. Boss: Lich Lord.
Overgrown Ruins — Spiders, thornlings, wisps. Boss: Old Druid.
Frozen Peaks — Frostwolves, frost giants, ice bats. Boss: Ice Wyrm.
Infernal Depths — Imps, hellhounds, demons. Boss: Archdemon.
The Tempest Reach — Storm husks, thunderhounds, arc sentinels. Boss: The Storm Sovereign.
The Void Spire — Voidlings, nullweavers, crystal sentinels. Boss: Void Lord.

Each floor has a portal back to Sanctuary. Follow the deeper portal through Floors 1–4, then defeat the boss to unlock the next biome. Defeat all six biome bosses to open The Hollow Throne.

Combat

Your hero auto-attacks the nearest enemy in range — just walk close. Each class has a different attack style (melee cleave, arrows, magic bolts, or bone wands).

Pinch to use your active skill (costs mana, has a cooldown). Skills are powerful AOE or multi-hit abilities.

If you die, you respawn in Sanctuary with a small gold penalty. Your items and progress are safe.

Loot & Equipment

Enemies drop items of varying rarity:

Common — No bonus stats.
Magic — 1 bonus affix.
Rare — 2-3 bonus affixes.
Legendary — 4 affixes; named items change your look.
Mythic — 5 affixes, 2-3 sockets, prismatic aura.

Open the menu → Inventory to equip gear (weapon, armor, ring, amulet). Better gear means more damage, defense, and crit chance.

Leveling Up

Kill enemies to earn XP. Each level grants 3 stat points to spend on:

STR — Increases damage.
INT — Increases damage for mages & summoners, plus mana pool.
DEX — Increases crit chance and a bit of damage.
VIT — Increases max HP.

Spend stat points from the menu → Character screen.

Classes

Warrior — Melee cleave attacks. Skill: Whirlwind (huge AOE spin).
Mage — Fires arcane bolts at range. Skill: Frost Nova (freeze + damage).
Ranger — Shoots arrows rapidly. Skill: Multishot (5 arrows at once).
Summoner — Bone wand at range. Skill: Raise Dead (summon skeleton minions).

Tips

Stock up on potions from the Trader before entering dungeons.
Pick up bounty quests from the Captain for bonus gold & XP.
Dash (↑↑↑) to dodge boss attacks or escape when low on HP.
Stash your best backup gear with the Keeper so you don't lose it.
Rare and Unique items glow on the ground — don't miss them!
