Basic Tips for Drakensang Online | Starting Tips Drakensang Online

The page below contains a few starting tips that will help you get acquainted with the game.

1. Engage in quests. The quests you receive may not always be of the highest quality, but there's no reason to skip them. Sometimes, the quests complete themselves automatically after defeating a certain group of monsters or after reaching a certain place in the world. Quests serve as a secondary source of experience and gold, as well as useful items. The quest givers are marked as exclamation marks on your map, while your goal is marked with a question mark.
2. Complete daily challenges. Challenges are a special type of missions that can be completed once a day. You'll receive access to three quests of varying objective, difficulty, and reward. Your missions may involve smelting items at a smithy, defeating some opponents, or even facing other players. The rewards are also varied - from coins, up to essences that strengthen your hero. As always, choose those missions, which you are capable of completing. Daily challenges are available from level six.
3. Navigation. If you are stuck and cannot reach your target, click on the mission description window in the upper right corner of the screen to activate arrows that will help you navigate to your objective.
4. Log-in daily. Drakensang Online contains a system that rewards you for daily logins, enabling you to gain treasure chests, potions, valuable gems or even weaponry.
5. Pay attention to your health bar. Drakensang Online is an action-packed game. Always monitor your health bar (found in the bottom left corner of the screen), especially during combat - the ensuing chaos may distract you and dispose you of your health.
6. Make use of dodges. Your character can dodge incoming attacks, both ranged and melee. Avoid your opponents' attacks and counterattack at the right moment. Some enemies can be beaten by utilizing a tactic, where your hero constantly runs from the opponent and returns with brief counterattacks.
7. Pick up all items. Especially important in the initial stages of the game. You can replace your items with better ones, and sell the remaining items at any vendor to gain small amounts of gold. You can press CTRL to light up items that are lying on the ground.
8. Pick up health spheres. A defeated enemy may leave a red sphere that replenishes a part of your health - simply walk up to the sphere to pick it up. This free way of replenishing health will save your skin on more than one occasion.
9. Use health potions. Health potions will prove to be indispensable during tougher encounters. You can acquire them cheaply at vendors, so always prepare a supply before going into battle.
