Prologue: The Glade | Walkthrough Dust Guide

During the introductory animation, when the fighting warriors appear, you will be able to practice melee attacks. After the skirmish, you will have the opportunity to choose from three dialogue options (from the top):

- You don't look like a guardian to me

- Your name is Fidget?

- What is this sword, anyway?

It does not really matter which dialogue option you choose, Fidget will challenge you to a fight anyway. Again, you will have to choose from two dialogue options. Whichever answer you give, the fight is not going to take place. This is where the game proper starts. Go left where, in the next area, you will find a key that you are going to need to open a treasure chest. Return to your starting point and go right. You will reach location called The Glade. Go right, jump over scarps and you will reach a wall. Destroy the wall by attacking it and collect the chicken- it is used for healing. Go right and you will reach a cutscene. Fidget will let you know that there is a treasure around (the chest icon with a question mark). As you go further, you will reach a monument with a glowing orb. Use the Jump button and you will receive new abilities, which are quick attacks to the left and o the right. Return to the fallen tree and press "back" and jump simultaneously. This way you will drop own. Jump down and smash the wall to the left. Collect the treasure note and the chicken. From now on, you can embark on quests. As you go left, you will reach a locked chest. Use the key - the "forward key". This will initiate a minigame. You need to press arrows in the direction that they are displayed. You will receive the Revival Stone and access to your inventory. You bring up the inventory with the "inventory" key, and you can see there what items you currently have. As of now, you cannot go left, so go right until you are attacked by monsters. The best way to deal with them is by pressing the melee attack button several time. If you continue your attacks without getting hit by any of the monsters, you join them up into a combo, which is rewarded with more experience points. For the enemies you defeat, you will also receive gold and items. The talking sword will tell you that there is a village nearby, where you can recall things from your past. The equipment key also has some other functions.

Chicken replenishes your health

- Character - allows you to reach higher experience levels

- Inventory - you already know that

- Map - to displays your current position

- Quest - the current quests

- Materials - these are items that you find throughout the game, you can sell them, or craft new ones

- Stats - statistics

Thanks to the statistics window, you will learn many interesting things

- Time Played - How long you have actually played

- Total Completion - percentage progress in the game

- Word Explored - percentage of the discovered world

- Treasure Found - percentage of the treasures that you have found

- Max Hit Chain - the longest combo that you have pulled

- Enemies Vanquished - number of killed enemies

- Friends Found- how many friends you have saved

Go right and you will reach a monument where you can save your game. At the "casual" difficulty level, the monument replenishes your energy bar, at the "normal" level, only a half. Go right and kill your enemies, best if you press the melee attack several times. Walk into the next area. At the monument with the orb, press the jump key and you will unlock Dust Storm - a new ability. If you combine the Dust Storm with Fidget's attack, this will start a projectile attack. Using this ability consumes some of your power, which replenishes after some time. You can replenish it by using melee attacks. Watch out for longer uses of the Dust Storm. This makes your character turn red, and the area shake. Then, you need to stop using this ability Defeat the enemies and approach the game save monument. As you proceed, you will, eventually, reach a place where Fidget will let you know that there is a treasure around. Defeat another wave of monsters. It is best to use the melee attack, get back to dodge and attack again. Also, use the Dust Storm but, not for the whole time. Make some breaks. You also need to watch out when the monsters attack from both sides. Go right and jump onto the scarp, to the right you will find a note "Leap of Faith". Note that, when you leave this area and go back, the monsters respawn. Thanks to this, you can gain more experience points. Soon you will gain the next experience level. You will also receive the skill gem.

Depending on your strategy, you can invest in offense or defense

You can decide if you want to improve on your health, the attacking strength or work on Fidget's statistics and increase the statistics for the Dust Storm. At the very bottom there displays your current score and the amount of points that you are lacking to gain the next experience level. Smash the wall where you have found the note, to collect the key. Return to the left and jump onto the scarp above. Walk over the fallen tree and go to the right over the slope. Jump onto the scarp above and walk into the next area. Fidget will let you know about the nearby treasure. You will reach a spot where a cutscene starts. Dust will state that he has already seen this view and will notice a village in the distance. This is where you complete the first part of the "Dust to Dust" quest. Its next part assumes that you reach the village. Jump down and go left. You will reach a game save monument. As you go below and to the right, jump over the crack and reach a tent. Smash the wall and you will find two keys beyond. Return to the left and go down next to the ladder. You should now gain the third experience level. In the next location, Fidget will notify you about another treasure. You will reach a monument where you will gain a new ability. Press the "jump" key and you will have the ability to use the Dust Storm while up in the air. Defeat the enemies ad go right, then jump down. Fidget will tell you about another treasure. It is located to the left. You need to jump down to the left. Open the chest. To the left, there is a wall with sparkling yellow patches. Go right and you will reach a tent. It is a shop where you can buy items for the gold that you have gathered. Approach it and press the "forward" key.

You can buy all the delicious things from the merchant

At the bottom of the area, there is a "Switch to Sell Mode" button - it switches you from the buy mode to the sell mode. The items are grouped together in the following manner.

- Health Item - they replenish energy

- Pendants - they boost statistics

- Augments - they boost attacks statistics

- Armor - armors

- Rings - rings

- Materials - materials for crafting new items

While leaving the shop, you will learn from the merchant that, if you supply him with a material that he does not have in stock, he will pay you more. This will initiate a quest called: "A New Venture". Sell to him a material that he does not have, and you will complete the quest. The merchant will replenish his supply of that material and, with time, it will be available to buy from all merchants. At the same time, you will earn experience points. Go to the right and jump down. By going this way, you will find a fruit bomb.

This fruit here is definitely good to eat.

Use the Dust Storm to release the fruit and return left, to the yellow wall, and initiate the Dust Storm here and there. This way, the bomb will follow you and explode at the wall. The bomb, after it explodes, respawns where you have found it. Behind the smashed wall, you will find a key. In the same way, destroy the next wall above. You will reach a game save point. Once you reach the next area, Fidget will traditionally, inform you of the next treasure chest, and the supplies in the shop will become replenished. Go further until you find a fruit bomb - destroy the wall below. This way, you will reach a cage. To open the cage, you need to use four keys but, this will allow you to free a friend. He will give you a 5% bonus to your health and you will be able to visit him in the Sanctuary on the World Map. Use the bomb on the wall to the right of the cage. Backtrack to the top because, as of now, you cannot do anything here. Go right until you reach lianas.

Take it ease, you will have your share of climbing.

As of now, you cannot achieve here anything either so, go right. Watch out for a jelly monster. Go right until a cutscene starts. You will be attacked by the jelly monster, you will learn to parry blows and counter-attack. When the monster attacks, press and hold down the melee attack - this will parry his blow. Also, make use of the Dust Storm attack. Go right and you will reach a hut. You will notice a character there: use the "forward" key to talk to the person. You will learn that the village is near here to the east behind the fields. Fidget will hear someone screaming and will dash to the rescue. You will also gain some experience points. Go right to the game save point and save the game. As you go to the right, you will reach two characters. It is the time to match up against the firs boss - it is a giant.

Notice that the tougher enemies have their healthbars yellow.

Keep landing blows and retreat to regenerate your health. Also, make use of the Dust Storm and Fidget's projectiles. This way you will bring the enemy down. You will see another cutscene, after which you will be attacked by two giants. Use a similar tactic and use the revival stone if you die. After you win, you will gain the next experience level. Go right and chapter one begins - Bestiny. You will find yourself in the Aurora village.
