Exploring

Take time to explore. You want to uncover the entire map, which gives you access to critical resources and vendors, not to mention enjoying the game experiences along the way.

• In an unknown area, systematically uncover the map until you find a question mark, which points to either a fast travel point or an abyss artifact.
• Use Blinding FLash frequently and scan the landscape — you'll often see distant glows that indicate a teleport point or an abyss artifact.
• You can climb almost any cliff/wall/house as long as your stamina holds out.
• Don't forget your flying ability! Using X while in the air will give you quick access to places that might otherwise be hard to reach.
• Explore cliff ranges to find ore deposits.

Skills

• Early on, focus on increasing Stamina and Health up to level 4, you won't regret it!
