THE ADVENTURER’S FIELD GUIDE

Every step matters.

Find the potion of cure dianthroritis on Volcano 5 and return home before 400 mobuls pass. The Eye of Larn, on Dungeon 15, reveals the demons guarding your way.

Explore & fight

Arrow keys or the direction pad move you. Step into a creature to attack. Click a known tile to travel; travel stops at danger. Time advances with actions, not while you think.

Enter & descend

Stand on a landmark and use its contextual button. E enters buildings, > descends, and < ascends. Use o to open doors and chests.

Hazards

Visible pits yawn underfoot. Dart traps sting and steal strength. Express elevators whisk you up or down without asking — sometimes toward safety, sometimes toward Hell. Press ^ near danger to identify traps. Hover a known hazard for a short caution.

Relics

Unique artifacts on the dungeon floor reveal their nature when you study them (hover). Common scrolls, potions, armor, and weapons keep their secrets until you identify or use them.

Prepare

i inventory · w wield · W wear · q drink · r read · d drop · c cast. F2 toggles auto-loot for items (gold is always collected); F3 pins your inventory. The town’s stores, bank, and college can help.

Survive

Wait with . to recover slowly. Your expedition saves automatically between actions. Death ends the expedition. Reloading restores your last saved turn, not a new life.

The complete Ularn rules are preserved. Press ? during play for the original command reference. Camera rotation never changes the compass directions.
