In combat, use the mouse to select the monster you want to attack. Your hero will automatically attack monsters and collect their loot. If you fall in battle, you will be returned to town. Upgrade your equipment to increase your power. Hold down the SHIFT button and click to dismantle unwanted items. Once you have dismantled enough items, you can use the forge to craft new rewards. Additionally, you can specialize your character with stats and custom talents, which will change your gameplay style. There are multiple ways to build your character, so experiment with different options to find what works best for you. Good luck!
