Quick Links
Starting upCaves of Qudfor the first time can be an intimidating experience.
AV and DV are two important stats that it’s possible for you to increase in Caves of Qud.
Here, it’s possible for you to learn the differences between the two.
So, let’s begin your journey, water-sib.
Surviving can be hard, so these tips will help you gain your bearings a bit easier.
Eat From Ovens
Almost every settlement will have an oven tucked away somewhere.
When auto-exploring, your character will automatically stop to read all important objects.
Barter With NPCs
Nothing is more valuable than fresh water.
Not all creatures will accept water as the catalyst for their water ritual.
For example,robots will need oil, andcannibals will require blood.
Above all though, the most important feature of the world map is fast travel.
Fast travel is simply moving your character on the world map.
This means thatyou don’t have any encounters with enemies, and move one parasang per step.
You’ll also be able toinvest in skills to prevent yourself from getting lost.
Keep in mind thatyou cannot view your map while you are underground.
These items includecopper, silver, and gold nuggets, along with gemstones.
you might also store items in chests and on tables if you are carrying too much stuff.
Don’t Be Afraid To Die
Death is inevitable.
If you started Caves of Qud with the tutorial, then you may die shortly after completing it.
Don’t worry though, it happens to all of us.
Overall though, just know that death is common in Caves of Qud.
When it happens, take it as a learning experience.
once you get the hang of things, you’re able to opt for a more hardcore mode.
If you are on the brink of death in combat, consider running away too.
There is no shame in fleeing from the scene to recover some HP and take a breather.
A little bit of HP will be recovered each turn.
