Curse of the Dead Gods Beginner’s Guide
Below we have detailed some beginner’s tips to help you in the early stages of your gameplay.
Don’t Linger in the Dark
The whole mechanic of the game is based on darkness and light, where you venture into the darkness, lighting up areas to explore them. Most of the enemies you will find are lurking in the dark and in the shadows, which means going in blind is a death wish for sure.
While you have a source of light, there are other places that allow you to light up an area, revealing more of the temple. In addition, enemies are stronger in the dark, so make sure you light up all braziers you can spot, or even set an enemy on fire for some source of light.
Learn to Parry
Parrying is the best way to fight enemies as it allows you to block and follow up with the counter-attack immediately. Parrying takes some practice if you are a beginner, but nothing that tough to learn if you understand each enemy’s attack types. If you are struggling with parrying, you can increase your defense by equipping a shield which increases the window of a successful parry.
Parrying enemy attacks not only deflects the incoming damage towards you, but also staggers the enemy for a little while, leaving them vulnerable. The best thing about parrying is that it does not consume any stamina and it can also deflect projectiles thrown at you.
Explore All Areas
The darkness can rob you of some of the best loot if you just trot along to fight enemies. Dark areas in the game usually hide rare loot like weapons, gold, and mystical relics that can easily be missed.
Explore every nook and cranny with a source of light and you might just run into a secret room filled with goodies.
Experiment with Traps
If you thought enemies were the only troubles you will find in the dark temple, prepare for a nasty surprise of booby traps that can take you out instantly. However, if you know how the traps are going to trigger or have a good eye that spots them early, you can use them to your advantage.
Traps can not only hurt you but wipe out hordes of enemies that might after you. Look out for traps that can help you clear out several enemies, or lure them straight into the trap. There is no shortage of being creative in the game.
Watchout for Corruption
Corruption is a love-hate mechanic in the game in the sense that it can make you powerful but also vulnerable at the same time. Corruption is indicated by the purple bar in the lower right of the screen. If the corruption bar fills up, you will receive a curse that can work for you but also against.
Corruption is inflicted on you when you take a certain types of damages from enemies, or if you offer blood to the shrine instead of paying with gold. If you disregard the corruption level and get to 5 curses, your health will start to get affected, depleting over time.
