PostsIn the mysterious dungeon they find themselves in, the only thing they can do to discover things and relearn their abilities is to use words. If you want to rediscover your abilities and uncover the mystery of this necromancer, you must take your first steps with your reanimated bodies in the first chapter of the game, Crypt.
How To Complete Crypt Chapter
Open The First Chest
When you start the game, Cryptmaster will greet you and ask if you can hear him. Then, he will ask how you are feeling. After answering these questions, proceed towards the light.
You will find yourself in a dungeon. After moving forward a bit, you will encounter a name gate.
At this stage, you need to write the names on the gate one by one: JORO, SYN, MAZ, and NIX.
After writing all the names, proceed straight ahead and you will come across the first chest in the game. Open the chest by typing CHEST.
Each time you encounter a chest or a box, Cryptmaster will inspect it for you. The goal here is to discover what the chest contains. To find out, you need to give commands such as LISTEN, TOUCH, SMELL, and so on. Based on what Cryptmaster says, you will have to guess the contents of the chest.
Remember, you have a limited number of guesses, and if you fail, you will never discover the contents.
When you find the word corresponding to the chest's contents, its letters will be placed in the white boxes next to your party members' images. These boxes contain the names of skills or spells your characters once knew but have forgotten. You can unlock them by opening more chests or making correct guesses.
At the end of this guide, we have listed the words that your party can learn.
The answer to the first chest is HELMET. After taking the chest, proceed straight to the right and open the wooden door. In this new open room, the chest on the left contains RAT, and the chest on theright contains BOOK. After identifying the items in these chests, leave the room and go to the wooden door ahead.
Fight The First Enemy
There is nothing noteworthy in the next room, so exit through the door. After passing through the next wooden door, you will encounter the first enemy in the game.
Battles are quite simple. You can use the skills your characters remember by typing them on the screen. Each character's remembered skills or abilities can be viewed by pressing the button next to their picture. Remember, after using a skill, the character will enter a cooldown period, so you shouldn’t use the same hero repeatedly.
Remember that your heroes are not immortal even if they are dead. If you are playing the game in real-time rather than turn-based mode, you must not be too slow in using skills, or your heroes will take damage and eventually die.
Each hero’s health can be seen in the black name blocks to the right of their picture. The health of all characters except JORO is three.
After defeating the monsters, some letters will drop from them. You can pick up some of these letters, and they might help your heroes remember their skills.
Reach The Altar And Meet Agda
After finishing the battle, continue forward and pass through the iron-barred door. In this new room, when you reach the front of the pit and see the ‘Over the Ravine’ text, you can type JUMP to cross the pit.
Alternatively, you can proceed along the path on the left side of the pit. Before entering the corridor leading to the door, there is a chest on the left side of the room. The answer to this chest is SWORD.
Exit through the wooden door. In the wide room you have now reached, if you go straight ahead, you will reach the EYESTONE. For now, ignore it and proceed to the right of the Danger sign. Before reaching the wooden door, you can fight the monster on the left in the open area. Behind the monster, you will see a box. The answer to this box is ARROW.
After taking the box, turn around and proceed straight, then exit through the wooden door on your left. In the corridor-like part of the room, go straight ahead and fight the enemy. After defeating it, go to the ALTAR marked on the room map.
Interact with this altar by typing STATUE. After learning that this altar is only for the living:
- SMASH
- PEE
- DESTROY
- DESECRATE
Use words like these to destroy it and thus heal yourself. You can return to the area where you destroyed the altar at any time to regain health.
Find The Soulstone
After destroying the altar, turn around and go forward, then turn right. You will see a chest. The answer to this chest is MAP. Now, go to the corridor-like part of the room and proceed right. Here, you will encounter a lizard-like enemy different from the other monsters. During the fight, you will not be able to use skills containing the letter ‘B’.
After defeating the monster, go straight ahead and pass through the door to find the Soulstone.
Remember that after the Crypt, the skills you use in the subsequent chapters will consume Soul per letter. Therefore, Soul is a very important resource, and from this point on, it will be beneficial to look at the walls as you proceed. You can gain Soul by typing the names of the insects you see on the walls.
At this point, you can go back and check the rooms you have already cleared to hunt insects and make the next section easier. Especially in the room where you typed JUMP, there are three different insects.
Deceive The Eyestone
Now you need to return to the room with the EYESTONE. Before talking to it, you will see a chest on the left side. The password for this chest is COIN. Finally, it's time to face the EYESTONE. First, it will ask if you are dead. Answer ‘NO’. Then it will doubt whether you are lying and ask for the name of the last fruit you ate. Some valid answers are:
- APPLE
- ORANGE
- BANANA
- STRAWBERRY
- DRAGONFRUIT
Then it will ask how you describe the sun. Some valid answers are PLANET, BIG, YELLOW, and HOT. After passing the EYESTONE, proceed through the door behind it. In this room, there are some insects on the walls that you can collect. After collecting them, approach the Ladder and type CLIMB.
While climbing up, Cryptmaster will ask if you want to go to the surface. Then he will ask what you want to do on the surface. Give him some answers, and thus you will complete the chapter and reach the second chapter, Bonehouses.
