Tips and Tricks for New Players

This page contains essential tips for new players starting their journey in Remixed Dungeon.

Conserve Resources: Potions, scrolls, and other consumables are rare in the early game. Use them wisely, especially healing potions during minor fights.
Identify Important Items: Use scrolls of Identify on important equipment or items with unknown effects rather than on basic weapons/armor.
Explore Thoroughly: Search each level completely before moving on. Look for hidden rooms and secret doors (search near walls).
Manage Hunger: Keep an eye on your hunger status. Food becomes increasingly important as you descend deeper.
Read Scroll Effects: Most scrolls have utility functions. For example, Magic Mapping reveals the entire level layout.

Retreat When Needed: Don't be afraid to run from difficult enemies. You can always come back later when you're stronger.
Use Terrain: Corridors can help you fight enemies one at a time. Doorways can be used to rest between battles while blocking enemy movement.
Understand Enemy Stats: Pay attention to enemy attack ratings vs. your defense. If you take too much damage, consider using food to heal or retreating.
Close Range: Melee heroes should try to attack from close range for maximum effectiveness.

Enchanting Weapons: Enchanted weapons provide special effects (like Shock for lightning damage or Lucky for critical hits). Identify them to see the benefit.
Armor Glyphs: Similar to weapons, armor can have glyphs that provide special effects. Some glyphs are defensive, others offensive.
Strength Requirements: Equipment has strength requirements. Don't over-encumber yourself with things you can't properly use.
Quickslots: Use quickslots for frequently used items. You can assign items to quickslots by dragging them there in the inventory screen.
