Evaluating difficulty level

Each enemy has their own difficulty level. It's very easy to see. Skulls appear next to the enemy:

1. no skull - easy,
2. one skull - medium,
3. two skulls - hard.

Enemy weaknesses

Every enemy has some type of weakness. They are worth taking advantage of. These are listed before the fight begins. It's a good idea to select your equipment based on them.

Weaknesses most often are:

1. a particular type of weapon,
2. attack speed or power,
3. attack types.

Preparing the gear

The game is very helpful in choosing equipment. Items that will work best on a given opponent have a gold rim. This applies to all types of items, whether swords or oils, bombs or potions.

It is worth paying attention to the enemy's species. Oils that work great on specific species:

1. Necrophage Oil - increases melee damage against necrophages by 100%;
2. Ogroid Oil - increases melee damage against ogroids by 100%;
3. Cursed Oil - increases melee damage against the cursed by 100%;
4. Relict Oil - increases melee damage against relics by 100%;
5. Hybrid Oil - increases melee damage against hybrids by 100%;
6. Insectoid Oil - increases melee damage against insectoids by 100%;
7. Draconid Oil - increases melee damage against draconids by 100%;
8. Specter Oil - increases melee damage against specters by 100%;
9. Elemental Oil - increases melee damage against magical creatures by 100%;
10. Vampire Oil - increases melee damage against vampires by 100%.
