  • sign_w "sign"

    Here you can test your shooting weapons or spells if you possess any. If you have readied a bow and have some arrows handy, you can fire by holding the SHIFT-key down while pressing a direction. Your arrows fly for ever if they do not hit anything. Make sure you pick up your arrows. Arrows easily burn ... You apply a bow by clicking on it with the middle mouse button.

  • sign_w "sign"

    Spell training area. To cast a spell e.g. small fireball type: 'cast small fire (you can usually just enter c+s+f+<return>) When you have done this you will notice that the Range line changes to: "spell (small fireball)" You now do the same as you do when you fire arrows. Hold down the SHIFT-key and press a direction key. But beware. Spells can and often do hurt you...

  • sign_e "sign"

    All doors are not the same. Some need keys and some need strange button mechanisms :) If you don't have a key, you can try to hack the door to pieces. Beware of standing on a gate when it starts to go up.

  • sign_e "sign"

    Not all monsters have generators and not all monsters need a generator to reproduce. Sometimes you get a reward for winning a hard battle. By the way: Chests are opened by applying them while standing on top of them or if you have it in your inventory. The middle mouse button can also be used. Try it out.

  • sign_e "A A A A A ...."

    It is time to get to know some other monsters. Monsters generate from monster generators and you should try to destroy the generators as early as possible, to limit the number of monsters being produced. So, open the gate at your right and destroy the face-shaped generator right away. Do not waste time reading this ;-)

  • sign_e "Read by hitting SPACE"

    Practise to run with the Control-key down once more. Speed is very important in this game. Another thing that you should know is that to fight many beasts at once can be dangerous. You may be badly injured before you manage to kill them all off. Well, go practice now!

  • sign_e "apply to read"

    You survived. That is promising ;-> As mentioned it is better the sooner you kill off the beasts. That way they do not get so much time to hurt you. To go really fast you can hold down the Control-key to run in a direction. Try opening the gate at your right and run in by holding down the control-key and just pressing the direction key (cursor key or keypad) I<once>.

  • sign_e "apply to read (spacebar will do)"

    Congratulations! You are now in the second part of the tutorial, where you can practise some of the things you learned. If you want to explore the city of scorn instead, go south, which will lead you to the southern area of scorn. In the east, near the wall, you will find the newbie tower, a good place to kill some monsters and gain some experience. There is a store nearby where you can buy gear and sell the items you gather form the slain monsters. You can come back to the beginners house any time to practise some more. To start practising, go to the lever to your right and apply it. The gate will then open and a monster will try to attack you. Run directly toward it to knock it down. Remember to put on your armour! Good luck!
