- Whether you’re exploring the map or completing quests, make sure you have the defense of your base in the back of your mind. If you can’t protect it from the swarming army of enemies, you will lose on the spot. Hence, keep checking your base from time. You can also use a courier to upgrade the defense of your base.
- As soon as you spawn in the game, don’t forget to pick up your starting bonus called the Adventurer’s Present. Go to the bottom left stairs and talk to the NPC there. It will drop a Christmas Gift for you, which can be used to unlock various starting perks.
- The number of enemy waves indicates their difficulty level:
Easy and Normal Difficulty = 25 Waves
Hard Difficulty = 30 Waves
Impossible Difficulty = 35 Waves
- If you’re speedrunning the game, you can do so by solely focusing on the main quest line and increasing your virtue/essence in the game.
