Introduction
This guide aims to answer some questions you might have. I won’t list every item, spell, or wand, as exploring the game is where the fun lies.
Press T to open the emote menu.
By pressing F to switch the wand to your left hand, you can use two wands at once
A good start
At the start of a new game, don’t forget to pick up the free Wind Rod from the tree.
Then, look around and look for mushrooms or sprigs of moonsage near the trees. Store them in the storage by holding down the E key . Break open the crates and store the items you find there as well.
Keep in mind that potion ingredients should only be carried while you’re crafting them. If you have one in your inventory, drop it with the Q key , then hold E to store it.
Don’t forget to collect gold from the stairs leading to the grimoire. Combined with the gold from the frogs, this could be enough to buy a torch or an inexpensive wand.
Opening the door to the potion brewing area will give you a free torch before heading down the spiral staircase (this door can’t be opened yet, but it’s good to know).
I have no idea what the screaming gnome is for.
CHAOS!! and Contracts
This section contains tips on how to maximize chaos in a dungeon.
Contracts are a way to gain extra chaos, but frankly, they’re not necessary. Sometimes you’ll find an additional contract in a dungeon—usually for clogging sinks and toilets. Occasionally, you’ll find a contract for brewing potions, but the ingredients for those are much more expensive than the chaos they provide, so I’d ignore them.
Torches are great for causing chaos: they can be used to burn paintings, tapestries, and furniture.
Some things can’t be simply destroyed – they must be burned with a candelabra or a torch.
Urinate on objects before destroying them! Sometimes you can still get points for destroying them later.
Look up!
Use Up Dog and Teleport Ana spells to reach hard-to-reach places – sometimes you can find a chest there.
This section is under development.
Frogs!!
If you stand next to the frog for a few seconds, it will burp 5 gold or a gem (which can be sold for 30 gold).
Frogs can be collected and placed in one place – after Hotfix 2 they will remain there.
If you find a frog in a dungeon, you can bring it to the lobby and add it to your collection.
You can only get gold or gems from frogs once per night.
In the dungeons, frogs don’t give anything.
Grimoire and Secret Spells
Every time you receive a new wand, hold it up to the grimoire—perhaps a special spell or interaction will be revealed. I’ll list only the most useful or less obvious ones.
In my opinion, the Wand of Illusions is one of the best.
Poof Anima – transforms you into the object you’re looking at.
Float Oculus – allows you to possess guardians! Also great for finding your way out of a dungeon.
*One of the special interactions for the Grotesque Rod is to urinate on Achoo’s green slime to increase its size. But after several tests, this doesn’t seem to have any effect.
Potions
The two most important potions are Health Boost and Stamina Boost . Your brewing area will always have three of each once you unlock it.
Be sure to learn the ingredients for these potions and buy them from the store, stocking up for future use.
Frog Potion temporarily grants double jump.
Don’t drink the splash potion! 😂
Instead, hold Q to throw it at enemies.
Shop
You can sell items to a merchant by holding them in your hand and getting close enough for the sell prompt to appear.
You can replenish the store’s inventory for a fee by interacting with the box to the left of the merchant.
The Fairy in a Bottle is an extra life (it just needs to be in your inventory).
Candles are only needed for light and burn out over time (a rather useless thing).
Torches can be used to set fire to a variety of objects, and they don’t burn out like candles. However, the flame can be extinguished, requiring the torch to be relit.
Questions
If anyone has any ideas for these riddles, please leave them in the comments! (Some have already been mentioned above.)
I found a spinning blue-green ball in the dungeon that I can’t break. I can bring it back to the lobby, but it only costs 3 gold, so it probably has a use.
In Hotfix 3, a similar orb was added to the lobby area.
One of the special interactions for the Grotesque Rod is to urinate on Achoo’s green slime to enlarge it. But after several tests, this doesn’t seem to have any effect.
Why does the phrase “Good boy” activate the emotion of stroking?
What’s the gnome for? I haven’t tried taking him into the dungeon yet.
