Get familiar with movement, equipment switching, and resupplying before you start exploring.
Key references use the default bindings as examples; after rebinding keys, refer to your in-game settings.
Detailed steps
Move with A / D and jump with Space. On a safe platform, practise sliding right with D + Left Shift.
Success signal:The character slides right and passes through a low opening.
Note:A slide requires a direction input together with left Shift; stay away from cliff edges.
At a one-way platform, press down+jump to drop to the next level; if you need to keep dropping through, release first, then press again. In a narrow shaft, get against the wall first, then jump in the opposite direction to wall-jump upward.
Success signal:The character passes through the one-way platform and lands securely. Jumping in the opposite direction after getting against the wall lets you reach a higher platform.
Note:Check the landing spot on the next level before dropping through the platform.
Open the relic list in Equipment. Select an item and press Enter, choose the target slot with A / D, then press Enter again.
Success signal:The new relic icon appears in the chosen slot.
Note:After selecting a relic, use A / D to switch the target slot; the third slot can also hold a relic.
First confirm you have potions; after taking damage, come to a stop on safe ground, hold X until the drinking animation finishes, then release it. Do not tap. If you changed the controls, use the in-game bindings. If you have no potions, go to an available save mirror to check supplies.
Success signal:The potion bottle count decreases, and health increases. If nothing changes, first confirm the drinking animation has finished.
Note:Drink potions on safe ground, and wait for the animation to finish before moving or attacking. Healing potions cannot be used while Blackened Heart is equipped.
At an available save mirror, press the interact key E and wait for saving to finish before exiting the game.
Success signal:The game indicates that saving is complete. Step checkmarks and game saves are saved separately.
Note:Before leaving the game, confirm the saving notification has ended.
