Black Geyser: Couriers of Darkness v1.2.62 – The Definitive Update Guide
6. Tips for Success
- Save Often: Use the F5 (Quicksave) key liberally. Hard fights can appear out of nowhere.
- Rest Management: You need to rest to recover spells and health, but resting consumes rations. Always buy rations at inns.
- Identify Items: Do not equip items that say "Unidentified." They might be cursed. Bring them to a shopkeeper to identify or use the Lore skill.
- Don't Hoard Gold: Because of the Greed mechanic, sitting on millions of gold is bad for the world state. Spend your money on upgrades, potions, and donations to temples.
- Read the Combat Log: If you are missing attacks constantly, check the log. It might tell you that the enemy has "Concealment" or "Damage Reduction," requiring you to switch weapon types.

Tatiana’s hand went white on her sword. The scar along her jaw jumped as if some muscle remembered an old instinct. “They lie,” she said.
