Fighting against the seemingly never-ending hoards can seem like an impossible task, after all, you'll encounter giants, beasts, the undead, hybrids, and more.
In such a situation, information is power, so what if we told you that a powerful tool is at your disposal? Introducing the Encyclopedia!
As you take on wave after wave of fearsome monsters, you gradually learn more about the enemies that you fight. All of this information is stored within the Encyclopedia.
How to Use the Encyclopedia: A Guide to Mastery
Step 1: Where is the Encyclopedia?
Select your character, load the world map, then look to the bottom left of the screen, there you'll see a scroll. Click on it, this is where you will find your encyclopedia.
Step 2: Encountering Monsters.
If you're new, you'll notice that the Encyclopedia will be (mostly) empty. To begin recording data, simply take up arms and defend Ithaca!
As you encounter and vanish an opponent, you'll learn more about it. This information will be stored as a new entry in your Encyclopedia.
What you've learned!
Each monster is unique, from the weak Skeleton Swordsman type 1 to the deadly Death Cavalry.
The data on each monster can be split into three sections.
The first is the general stats
The second is the special stats
All monsters have these two sections. However, some monsters have a third, the special abilities.
Strategic Insights
How can this information help you? While at first, taking on the basic Skeletons should be no problem, as you progress, you'll encounter more powerful enemies, and if you're lucky, you may find items that have bonuses against specific types of enemies.
So, if you're stuck on a level (and trust us, you will be at least once). It would be well worth your time to look at the information of the enemies in that level and plan your gear accordingly!
As our earlier playtesters found, an item is often what separates victory from defeat.
