The Serpent Rogue: Quick beginner's guide

Below is a list of some useful tips for beginners:

1. The game does not have an option of making manual saves - however, it often creates saves: when changing location, accepting/completing tasks, resting and doing other activities considered important by the game.
2. The character can't be developed like in RPG games - you will not find classic skill trees here. Everything you can do depends on what you discover and what you create. However, you can find items that will, for example, increase your maximum health or provide resistance to given statuses.
3. Knowledge is power - you can research your opponents and gather information about them in the Bestiary. You can also research the materials to discover new recipes and blueprints, or learn about effective methods of fighting enemies. Any data discovered is recorded in your journal.
4. Don't forget about the activities - the game often requires you to grind - focusing on repetitive activities to obtain the right amount of raw materials or gold. However, it is worth constantly trying to discover new locations and face new challenges - you will often discover new ways to speed up the game and make it more interesting.
5. Plants grow back - in most locations, such as the starting Abandoned House or Camp, plants will reappear in the same places when you move to another location and return soon afterwards. However, this does not apply to all items, only the basic resources.
6. Ghoul army - use the ability to farm Ghouls and simply research their skins to create potions that summon a group of creatures. They are a big help in difficult battles.
7. At the beginning, kill/steal - in order not to slow down the game, in the first stages you need to get basic tools from other NPCs.
