A lot of mechanics in this game are often misunderstood, and because it is relatively new, in the market at large, as well as being made by one developer, it may never attract pro gamers who could better flesh out the systems and mechanics. The guide is designed as if you've never played, and also has portions that can be skipped to, for those who have played too much already ;-) Dodging notes at the very bottom- Ziggy

The game can be unforgiving on the hardest settings, and I ignore some strong armor and hold off on using Medium Potions, to further increase the difficulty, so you will have a sharper edge than me when attempting your playthrough!

Whether you want to be a mage, a melee, a beast master, an archer, or ANY other archetype offered within the game, this guide will prepare you with thorough and detailed information. I will demonstrate how to dodge enemies, show you where items are to give you early advantages, and also discuss the biggest things to consider, when you begin the massive undertaking of saving Cedaltia; this land that I love with all my heart.

I have fallen many times, and just as I did in the spirit of Dark Souls, and other high-difficulty games...I also rose again, stronger and more determined than ever.

The timestamps will guide you, if you are a veteran of the game, but I guarantee there is information and approaches to gameplay you overlooked, even if you have played many times. I put my all into everything I do, even my most casual hobbies, and the only thing I love more than figuring out a complicated system, is showing people how to get the MOST out of that system!

You are welcome to ask questions. You are welcome to be skeptical, if you are one of the people who was told that Hard Mode is impossible, and I encourage you take the process I demonstrate throughout the video, and give it a chance. It will blow your mind how fun and how thrilling this game can be.

Watch me risk my file, every step of the way, as I do everything I can to show you why this game means so much to me. It challenged me to grow as a gamer, and a small community on Reddit also became some of my favorite online friends.

I go through as quickly as possible, and play with very little caution, beyond the necessary basics, so that any extra caution, grinding, or prep you add to your file makes you THAT much better off than me!

My next guide will cover the food crafting system, as well as generating infinite money, and overcoming Hard Mode's increased expenses, early on. Then, we'll step deeper into the world of Cedaltia, seek out exotic and powerful creature allies, and fight even deadlier foes!

DODGING NOTES: Every monster has an active attack window during their combat animations. All monsters also have at least 2 attacks. The best comparison I can draw from another game is Crypt of the NecroDancer, where you time your movements and attacks with those of your enemy. This game changes that formula, as monsters follow a personal "beat" once they are within a certain range, and the game doesn't pause them, between those moments.

Think of monster attack animations like the game "The Floor Is Lava." When the monster is in an active animation, or leaping towards you with an animation, they are on fire or "active." When they are stopped, or between tempos, their fire is out.
