Basic controls
CheckIn short
Three inputs — attack, parry, and dash — cover nearly everything you do in combat.
The control scheme is small but each button has more depth than it first looks. Enabling Shift Lock is recommended; it locks the camera to your character's facing direction, which makes chasing enemies and landing hits much easier.
- Left-click to attack enemies
- Right-click or F to block and parry
- Q to dash out of danger
- Turn on Shift Lock it keeps the camera lined up with your movement

02
How parrying and dashing actually work
StepIn short
A well-timed parry doubles your damage output for a short window, so it is worth practicing.
Both parrying and dashing have a timing window that rewards precision. On mobile, dedicated buttons replace the keyboard inputs. Note that some enemy attacks are marked UNDODGEABLE — neither a parry nor a dash will protect you from those.
- Parry press F or right-click just as an enemy attack lands; the word PARRY appears and the enemy becomes VULNERABLE
- Counter hit a VULNERABLE enemy quickly and your attack deals double damage, shown by the word COUNTER
- Dash press Q to dodge; a perfectly timed dash shows a '0' damage number, meaning you took no hits
- Air dash dash while airborne for a longer-distance yellow dash, but this version has no invincibility frames
- Spear parry spears poke when you parry, making enemies VULNERABLE but costing stamina
- Watch for UNDODGEABLE those attacks go through both parries and dashes

Combat keywords at a glance
Table
In short
Reading the floating words during a fight tells you exactly what is happening and what to do next.
Pixel Blade displays keyword labels during combat to explain what each hit or action did.
| VULNERABLE | enemy can be countered for double damage |
| COUNTER | your hit dealt double damage on a VULNERABLE target |
| BLOCKED | you hit a shielded enemy from the front; no damage went through |
| SHIELDED | boss is protected; attacks deal no damage until the shield drops |
| UNDODGEABLE | this attack cannot be parried or dashed through |
| ESCAPED | you completed the minigame to break free from a black circle |
| OVERPOWERED | you dashed through a laser attack and removed it temporarily |
| RESISTED | your stun attempt on a resistant boss had no effect |
05
Stage and difficulty progression
Step
In short
Work through Normal on each stage before tackling Nightmare, and clear Arc 1 by defeating the Lord of Wrath.
The campaign runs across named stages, each with a Normal and a Nightmare version. Arc 1 ends when you beat the Lord of Wrath in the Crimson Abyss.
- Grasslands clear it on Normal, then return for Nightmare
- Ancient Sands Normal and Nightmare versions available
- Haunted Tundra Normal and Nightmare versions available
- Crimson Abyss final stage of Arc 1; defeating the Lord of Wrath here completes the arc
06
Raids mode and merchant Perry
Tips
In short
Surviving deeper into Raids changes what drops you get, so knowing the wave thresholds helps you plan.
Raids is a wave-defense mode separate from the main stages. Merchant Perry can appear at any campfire with a 20 percent base chance; each campfire where he does not appear raises his odds at the next one. Reaching wave 30 earns the Defender badge, and wave 50 earns Immortal.
Tips worth knowing
- From wave 10 onward, normal ring drop rates drop by 10 percent per wave
- From wave 30 onward, Super Rings start appearing but their drop rate falls 7.5 percent per wave
- From wave 50 onward, the Super Ring drop multiplier doubles
07
Fishing and the void
Summary
In short
Fishing is a side activity with its own long-term goal and a way to earn currency by selling your catch.
There is a dedicated fishing spot called the Void. You sell fish rather than just collecting them. The long-term fishing goal tracked by badges is 560 catches.
- Location the Void
- First sale sell one fish to earn the Fish Dinner badge
- Mid-range goal 100 casts earns Pro Fisher
- Long-term goal 560 casts earns Void Master
08
Loot, weapons, and enchanted books
Tips
In short
Legendaries and enchanted books are long-term goals; keep farming drops and buy from merchants when they appear.
Weapons drop from monsters and can be bought from Merchant Perry, ranging in rarity up to Legendary. Atlantis is currently the rarest weapon in the game. Enchanted books unlock special upgrades and can also drop as loot. Secret Ominous Chests are rare finds worth watching for.
Tips worth knowing
- Farm monsters consistently — drops are the main way to upgrade your character
- Check Merchant Perry whenever he appears — good equipment can show up in his stock
- Unlock enchanted books as you go — getting 10 unlocked is a notable milestone
- Legendaries are rare, so treat getting even one as a big achievement
- Atlantis is the hardest weapon to obtain right now
