Controls

Delver can be played with just a keyboard, keyboard and mouse, and controller. If you want to rebind any keys, press pause (esc) and go to Options>Input. Mouse bindings are in the Input menu while keyboard and controller bindings can be accessed through Keys and Gamepad next to Back.

Notes:

• Gamepad controls are not binded, so the player must manually bind every button on a controller to use it.
  
• Mouse Button 1 and 2 are left and right click, and Mouse Button 3 is middle/scroll click.
  
• Holding Mouse 2 on dialogue like NPCs and notes can skip through them extremely fast.
  
• The WASD keys are to move while the arrow keys are to look (if using keyboard only).

Player Stats and Leveling

Notes:

• Every stat starts at 4.
  
• Every time the player levels up:
  -Hp increases by 1 for every odd level achieved and at level 2.
  -Enemy hp and damage is increased.
  -Better loot and more gold can be found.
  
• Stats show the player's total exp out of the exp required to reach the next level, so the exp counter doesn't reset when the player levels up.

Level Exp Requirements

Level	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15
Exp (req)	default	8	32 (24)	72 (40)	128 (56)	200 (72)	288 (88)	392 (104)	512 (120)	648 (136)	800 (152)	968 (168)	1152 (184)	1352 (200)	1568 (216)

Health

Increases maximum health points.

Health Upgrade

Stat	4 (default)	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17	18	19	20
Hp added	0	3	4	4	5	6	6	7	8	8	9	10	10	11	12	12	13

Attack

Increases attack power with melee and ranged weapons.

Attack Upgrade
Attack damage is increase by 1 for every upgrade.

Magic

Adds additional charges to magic wands

Magic Upgrade
Charge additions depend on the wand type, but the minimum amount added is 1 for every upgrade. Magic damage is increased by 1 for every upgrade.

Defense

Reduces amount of damage taken when hit.
Having more defense can prove useful near the end of a run when the player encounters harder enemies like goblins, eyes, skeletons, and the Lich.

Speed

Increases movement speed.
Increasing movement speed can counteract the speed disadvantages of shields and armor or just make the player more versatile and dodgy.

Agility

Increases attack speed and movement speed while charging an attack.
The longer an attack is charged, the more damage the attack will deal. This skill, when upgraded, is beneficial for using weapons with a long charge time like swords and the longbow.

The Dungeon

The Dungeon contains 4 areas with 2 levels for each, 3 intermission levels between each area, and the boss room, which adds up to a total of 12 explorable levels.

Camp

The Camp is where the player spawns before they can enter the Dungeon. There are several NPCs at the camp, 2 of them being shopkeepers, that the player can interact with. Near the camp is The Dungeon entrance itself. Once the player has entered it, they cannot return outside until they've retrieved and successfully brought back the Yithidian Orb.

Dungeon

Not to be confused with The Dungeon in its entirety.
The Dungeon area is the first main area the player enters. Most of the area is held up with wooden and stone structures that contain many storage containers, furnishing and decor, and several adventurers that still linger within. There are some areas that show the sky, but most of the Dungeon area is located underground.

The Well

The Well is the intersection between the Dungeon area and the Caves area. Two shopkeepers are located near a well, one selling general items and the other selling bag and belt expansion items. There's also a subsection of The Well called The Pit, which is straight ahead from where the player entered. The Pit contains loot that can be useful for a run and several spiders that spawn if the player has entered the loot room.

Caves

The Caves area is the second main area of The Dungeon. The cavernous terrain is uneven and contains pitfalls as well as things like minecarts, crates, and lifts. Many bugs like spiders and worms live in the Caves along with floating eyes and bats.

Lost City

The Lost City is the intersection between the Caves area and the Sewer area. It is a cold, frosty, and seemingly abandoned area that has two things that can be discovered: a room filled with bookshelves and paintings with a secret and a possible unique weapon, and a big inaccessible gate that presumably leads to the Lost City.

Sewer

The Sewer area is the third main area of The Dungeon. It contains a complex sewers system filled with pipes, drains, storage containers, and of course water. Stronger monsters like goblins roam the sewers which make traversing the sewage tunnels more difficult than in previous areas.

The Breach

The Breach is the intersection between the Sewers area and the Ruins area. A shopkeeper that sells scrolls is located there.

Ruins

The Ruins is the fourth and final main area of The Dungeon. The area is filled with lava and ancient structures as well as many traps and reanimated skeletons that the player must be extra wary of.

Yithidia

Yithidia is the final level of The Dungeon where the Yithidian Orb is located. It is heavily guarded by the Lich and many skeletons guarding it. Once the Yithidian Orb has been grabbed, the player must backtrack through every area and level until they've reached the first level, Dungeon 1, to exit where they entered. While going back, The Dungeon will shake constantly while striking purple lightning randomly and skeletons will spawn in every area to stop the player from escaping.

Enemies

Enemies, aka monsters, are the opposing force in the game that tries to prevent the player from getting the Yithidian Orb and escaping with it.

Notes:

• As the player progresses, levels get more difficult with different and harder enemies and more dangerous terrain.
  
• If an enemy dies regardless of whether or not the player killed them, they still give exp.
  
• Enemy hp, damage, and exp yield scales up based on player level.
  
• Surprise monsters have a chance to appear when breaking breakables.
  
• Most ranged enemies can melee hit players if they're too close.
  
• There's a small chance for sewer monsters like goblins and vampire bats to spawn in the Caves area.
  
• The Ruins monsters start spawning in all areas once the Yithidian Orb is grabbed.

• Gold can appear as a coin, a piece of gold, a pile of coins, or a pile of gold.

Bombs

Bombs are explosives that can be thrown to destroy breakables and damage enemies in an area.
They are a new addition to the game from the 1.0 update.

Notes:

• Bombs can only be obtained from breakables.
  
• There's a chance that a bomb from a breakable can be lit, but it can be picked up to prevent it from exploding.
  
• The fuse time for bombs is 2 seconds, which starts once you press attack (left click, space).
  
• *Holding a bomb when it explodes results in a bug where the explosion will repeat extremely fast resulting in instant death or lag that can result in a potential crash (i.e. spawning too many fire and arrow entities.
  
• Bombs have a chance to become a dud when fused. Fusing a dud takes around half a second to explode.
  
• Hitting a bomb will instantly explode it.

Bomb
The bomb deals 9 AOE damage maximum.


Fire Bomb
The fire bomb deals no AOE damage. However, its explosion produces an area of fire which inflicts burning to the player and enemies, and it can destroy items that are in contact with the fire.


Arrow Bomb
Rather than dealing AOE damage, the arrow bomb shoots out 8 arrows that can be picked up if not broken.

Bag and Belt Expansion

The bag expansion item increases the inventory slot by 1 and the belt expansion item increases the hotbar slot, which also counts as an inventory slot, by 1.

Tall spider eggs have a chance surprise monsters as well as a zombie and can drop random items and bombs. When a grounded spider egg is broken, a spider web is created on the ground that inflicts 1 slow when walked on.

Hazards

There are many hazards in the dungeons that can damage or kill the player as much as any enemy would.

Notes:

• Spikes and spike traps in the ruins have a gold appearance rather than white.

Traps

Magic Missile Trap
Magic missile traps deal 3 damage and fire red bolts when a player or enemy is near its line of fire. They're fairly hidden until they fire a missile, which can be avoided easily once discovered.





Spike Trap
Spike traps deal 2 damage and are inactive until an enemy or the player goes near one. When close or on one, spikes start popping up and down repeatedly until anyone in proximity leaves it. Some spikes automatically pop up and down in specific generated rooms, so the player must know when to cross them. It's possible for the player to safely go across a spike trap with default speed once the spikes have retracted as long as there's nothing blocking the way like a door or an enemy.

Teleport Trap
When activated, the victm is teleported to a randomly designated area on the map, which can prove to be either beneficial or hazardous to the player.





Damage Trap
Deals 4-5 AOE damage upon activation. There's a chance for the explosion to inflict 6 burning.







Poison Trap
1 damage is dealt and inflicts 10 poison.

World Hazards

Spikes
Unlike the spike trap, regular spikes are static. When in contact, they deal 2 damage and bounce or knock back whoever touches them, so it's easy to not get caught in them.





Water
Water generates in the Dungeons and Sewers. Anyone that wades through the water is slowed by a small amount. If an enemy or the player is burning, they can extinguish themselves by going into water. Items and small monsters are hidden when inside water, making it considerably difficult to locate items and fight monsters.


Lava
Lava can generate on any floor. When in contact, damage is slowly dealt and can inflict 6 burning, so one can afford to swim through lava. In the Wilderness (the very first level of a save), the player must walk through lava in order to reach the end of the level, which shows that lava doesn't result in instant death.


Pitfalls
Pitfalls can generate on any floor except the Dungeons and Sewers. If a land enemy or player falls off into a pitfall, they will instantly die. However, such a death can be avoided if the player is careful enough since not many enemies can knock the player back very far.



Purple Pots
Purple pots explode when hit and deal 7 damage maximum. They can easily be discerned between normal pots due to their difference in color and pattern on the pot.





Crushers
Crushers appear in the Ruins. They deal fairly fast intervals of 4 damage while getting crushed by one. Depending on the level generation, some crushers are slow while others can go fast, but they're fairly easy to avoid getting crushed.




Falling Tiles
Falling tiles appear in the Ruins. When stepped on, they shake and make a cracking noise which leads to the tile falling into lava. They can be avoided if the player gets off once they hear the noise or run across tiles fast enough.




Purple Lightning/Fire
Purple lightning strikes will appear when the Yithidian Orb is obtained at Yithidia, the end/boss room. Purple lightning strikes will occasionally strike the floor the player's currently on and has a chance to spawn purple fire that inflicts 6 burning. It's rare for the lightning to hit the player, but if it does, it deals 1 damage.

Secrets

Secrets are areas that the player can discover in a run.
They are a new addition to the game from the 1.0 update.

Notes:

• When a secret is discovered, the player is notified with the message, "A secret has been revealed!"
  
• Secrets are required to get the achievement Wall Hunter (refer to the Achievements section for more info).
  
• Some secrets don't trigger a "secret discovered" message, which means that it doesn't count towards the Wall Hunter achievement.
  
• In the Lost City, there's a small chance for The Forgotten (refer to the Uniques section for more info) to spawn in the secret room.

Wilderness (very first level of a save)

To find the gravestone, turn right after you break the first wooden barricade. Next to the gravestone is a skull and 15 gold.







Turn right to find a small tunnel after you cross the lava and get into the water. Inside the tunnel is 10 gold and some bones.








Dungeons

Behind several barrels is a door that leads to a bunch of gold and some loot.








There's a door located in front of a magic missile trap's line of sight. Behind it is a random item.








A middle area can be accessed by finding the button to open a hidden and locked door that leads to a teleporter to the middle area, which contains lots of gold and some loot.















Behind the fireplace is a door that leads to a small room with random items.








This secret does not trigger a "secret discovered" message.
A hidden button can open a locked door that leads to a room with gear.






This secret does not trigger a "secret discovered" message.
Behind a cloth cover in one of the jail cells is a small area with a random item. If the button on the jail is pressed, the cell door will close and open after a few seconds.




This secret does not trigger a "secret discovered" message.
To the left of a floating skull is a door that leads to some scrolls.







The Well

Go to The Pit, which is located beyond the bridge straight from entering The Well. When you go down and see a locked door, go to the left and touch the pillar to reveal a key for the locked door. Behind the locked door is a bunch of random loot.





The only way to reach this area is to either use a scroll of levitate or by boosting yourself using a greater fire wand to the door, but both methods are risky and can lead to getting stuck and/or death. Beyond the door is a diamond, an emerald, and a hole in the cave wall.





Lost City

When you enter the Lost City, take the leftmost path and find a stuck door. Break the door and go to the desk with a large painting above it. After you discover the secret, ghosts will spawn in the level.







The Breach

The only way to reach this area is to use a scroll of levitate. When you head down from the shop, you'll see a small pool of lava. Above it is a bloody room filled with letters scattered on the ground, 5 gold indicated as an asterisk symbol instead of gold, and @'s sword of the RNG (refer to the Uniques section for more info). The secret message is different for this secret and says "YASD has been revealed!".











When you reach the ladder that leads down to the Ruins, find an area of lava that looks swimmable. If you go fast enough, you'll lose around 15 health, but discover the secret and find 30 gold.

@Samoth Thanks a lot mate! Your method is the best for getting to that secret.

[Max von der Mühle]

I Think you should add a bit of information to the "Potions" section. Potions can be identified by drinking them, but it is also possible to partly identify them by making them explode, as every effect gives off a different color when it explodes:

1. The poison effect is green
2. The paralyze effect is yellow
3. Iron skin is white
4. Magic shield is purple
5. Restoration, healing and cola are all light blue.

Since all health restore potions have the same color, you can only find out which one is which by drinking them. All the other potions can be identified by exploding them.

I would like to make a potential correction to this guide. Agility does NOT let you charge faster with a bow, It only lets you be more mobile while charging an attack, as the description (sort of) says. I tested this with the builtin debug tools and this seems to be the case. Maybe it's a bug?

[♡ mae ♡]

Having a bit of trouble with the thick skinned achievement. I've fallen into pits, end screen shows 400+ damage but achievement doesn't pop. Any reason why this might be?

[Samoth]

Update: iron skin mitigates burning damage, and magic resist protects you from actually swimming in lava

[Samoth]

The secret that leads to the sword of RNG in The Breach can be accesed by going to the second secret (swimming on lava to get to the gold) and then jumping into the pit, the pit transports you to the sword of RNG room. BTW you can cancel lava damage with a combo of iron skin + magic resistance (maybe only one of the two, but I activated both potions just in case). You can swin into the lava and lose 0 health

[Fyyara]

There is another secret in the caves which triggers the "secret discovered" message. In the area with green pillars and water, there will be a low cave you can swim into. Easy to spot if you're looking for it. @ me for screenshots

[「Galaxy」]

作者太厉害了，很有帮助的攻略，谢谢啦！

[Nem tudom]

The amount of care and effort you've put into this is amazing!
Congratulations, and thank you!

@ TenLetters If you want to use them I took screenshots of that Breach secret awhile ago but never got around to publishing them:
