• Get used to kiting enemies around while waiting for your poise to recover. Don't take health damage that you don't need to.
  • After it's made available to you, open up the Divinity screen to see how to earn and spend points with the gods. This is the closest you get to leveling (and does boost your stats as well as give you powers).
  • Bump into water to get wet and be wet to not be on fire.
  • Use an empty vial to make a potion (this takes a herb and usually 2 phials of blood to do)
  • The first dungeon is not easy. Some enemies are hard to beat, and you are expected to flee from them and get hits in when you can, instead of fight them head-on. Make use of spider-webs to slow them down, and traps to damage them, as well.
  • How to beat the first dungeon, if you're bouncing off it:
    The stone you need is in a chest in the middle of a lake. The key to the chest is held by a tough beetle enemy somewhere near the lake. Kite it into spider webs, and spike traps, and damage it slowly while you regain poise.
    .
  • If you enter quiet mode you won't trigger traps when you walk over them, and you'll clear spider-webs before you walk over them, so they don't slow you down.
