STAMINA COST

You will use Stamina (the blue circles) when blocking, moving and attacking.

Parrying and Counter attacking are stamina cost-free.

BLOCKING

If an enemy has a higher STR stat than your TGH stat, you will take chip damage even if blocking for the difference between the two numbers.

BREAKING ENEMY BLOCK

You can keep attacking to reduce an enemy's stamina, or better still use the BOW or certain items.

NODE ABILITIES

The patches of dirt halfway between yourself and the enemies are called NODES. You can use some items on these, and so can the enemy.

Attacking diagonally will avoid any obstacles on the Nodes.

NAVIGATING THE WOODS

Simplewood has 16 glades (rooms) with up to 10 levels of depth (difficulty). After a 'room' is complete, you can choose to CONTINUE on the current level or 'GO DEEPER' to increase your difficulty level.

Deeper depths mean better loot.

You can rest at campfires to heal a little and eat a meal, but you will automatically be sent deeper into the woods afterwards.
