5 Step EZ Start Guide For Noobz

[macro46]

1. Start with a 7 character. You want at least 1 slot open to recruit Little Rosy.
2. Start in the Sanctuary and explore it fully. There's some really good items, maps, and a shrine that will give everyone in your party 1000 xp. At least a few of your chars should level off this.
3. Make your way through Crowl and go to Briarpatch Woods which is on the eastern side of Crowl. Crowl is still dangerous at this level so save and rest often.
4. When you enter Briarpatch Woods, Lil' Rosy will pop and talk to you. Recruit her. She's an OP murder hobo with crazy stats and skills that will wreck monsters for you.
5. Clear out Briarpatch Woods and the two low level dungeons in it (Shrine of the Raptor and Aquavia).

Your characters should now be around level 4 and you should have some decent equipment and spells.

Little Rosy is a Feyfolk Thaumaturge so if you don't want to double up on races or classes then don't make a Feyfolk or a Thaumaturge.

Detect Secret is an essential spell. Sages can start off with it but my Wizard was able to learn it around level 3 or so.

Aeorbs with Mindflay power and Bards with sleep lute are op early game.

Between rounds of combat you can switch characters around by clicking on their name tab and the character you'd like to swop them with. This can be useful as the first two characters will be the ones taking the majority of melee hits.

Great guide. You should also remember to place your tough cookies at the front of the party (the two positions at the top of the screen). Otherwise your 2 HP wizards will just keep dying. Also, remember to rest regularly to recover vitality, or you will never get penetration (just like IRL).

The starting location is chosen in the options screen, which might not be obvious.

With those tips, even the sapiens should be able to get started with Grimoire.

Has anyone even gotten past the first few dungeons in this game yet?

What do I say to recruit Lil' Rosy? I am really struggling with the NPC conversations in this game, loving it otherwise.

when shes on your screen (sharing the same tile) your characters will have a "talk bubble" icon (where you normally choose attack/spell/look etc.) - Right click on that icon or scoll through and you will find a recruit option.

Near the door, there's a brick you need to press on the wall which lowers a draw bridge over the water leading to a chest behind you which holds the key

What does the mindflay ability do? Also I'm assuming it only works on creatures that aren't just plants, right?

This may be an absolutely derp question but how do you look at an items stats? I can get into the inventory screen and equip/unequip them but I cannot figure out how to open the detailed item information that I could see in charachter creation.

Not a 'derp' question at all

Drag the item to the 'assay' icon (magnifying glass) to get stats and pertinent info- Drag it to the 'look' icon (the eye) to get descriptive text.

edit- Must be identified to work

Thank you : )

Im playing on a 55 inch tv and the fonts on the items and trying to read their descriptions are nigh impossible... Enjoying the gameplay but well see if I can overcome the difficulty. Problem is the "identify" screen is TINY, there should be some way to either scale it or transpose the information somewhere where it is more easily read.
