Ollvaror Caves

GUIDE

The Ollvaror caves are treachoerous places. Not necessary hard, but punishing anyway. Death is death, so dont die today.

This guide will give you some basic instruments to prosper in the hard life of a fighter slave. But nothing teachs better than a teacher. You can search for a group in our discord server.

Some good advices

These are good advices that most players dont follow on their beggining. Would you be different?

In doubt, flee

You can exit most situations without risking. Always look before entering a fight, and in doubt, press ESC, wait for then seconds and you are out. Dont risk you live for a small reward.

Dont enter the caves alone

Not with your favorite character. Some characters can heal you even if you are heavily wounded, but never will miss ever know about you if you die alone.

Ask the veterans

There is a lot of oral knowledge in the caves, not only about the places themselves, but also about the secret mechanics than can help you to progress.

Save your login file

We cannot restore you characters if you lose your login. Make a backup of the file "login.ini" present on the game folder after you play your first time.

Character creation

Your game looks like this on your first, as you have not a character right now. Press create.

Choose one in the first row. Gunear clan warrior is perhaps the easiest one, but the others are also great in groups. Second row are for people who know what they are doing.

Important note: this is not one of those trivial soulslike games. If you use a supernatural slave, you will die in one or two strikes. If you choose your attribites (miserable slave) you can access (nearly) unplayable combinations.

Put a irrelevant name to your character. It will die soon. Press create, and you are almost ready.

Perhaps you can altere the input pressing "input" tab.

First caves and money

Ready to action? Press "caves" tab. You can play in any server you want, but perhaps the most accessible is "Afkermat Cave". Select it and press "JOIN" button.

Afkermat mountains have (now) eight caves, but you have to reach them. You can enter only "Kristlam mine" in this moment. Good new, it is an easy one.

Note: most caves are instanced, that means the cave is created for you and your party, while others play other instances, but some caves are persistant. If you enter "The hard way" you will have to interact with other people there.

Press enter and start. And you are ready.

There are a few things you have to know about basic controls.

You can walk with "left" and "right". You can crouch with "down", and you can interact with "up". Take black metal from the ground with "up" and get paid.

You can run with "run". The more you press, the fast you run, but you get tired. Everythin gets you tired, take some rest.

You can jump with "jump". You will jump more while walking, and you will jump a lot more while running.

You can attack with "attack". If you keep the button pressed, you will make a stronger attack.

You can block strikes with "block", and you want to.

You can look abobe. Keep pressed "look" botton and press directions to take relevant information.

There are a lot of advanced control mechanics, but you can survive with these.

Find your way up to the exit of the cave. Dont take risks, you dont get paid for killing.

Perks and inventory management

If you survive, you can get money, and you can buy things.

Perks

Perks are the first way to improve your character. A lot!

The first perk a character buys costs 10 coins, the second costs 20 coins, the third 30, and so on. Premade characters have four perks, so the next perk costs 50. If you survive enought, you will buy all the perks available to your character attributes.

Items

You can buy different or better items on the market. Market is player driven, so it is impossible to know the availability or price of a sword or armour.

Premade characters have lvl 0 items (crap quality). Crap quality items are destroyed on unequip, but otherwise work like level 1 items.

High level weapons attacks faster.

High level armour weight less.

High level shields blocks more damage.

Chaotic powers

You can get as chaotic powers as your extension attribute. You get them when your white bar gets empty, but you get also stun and damage, take care!

There are six chaotic powers with a lot of differente basic, advanced, aerial or combined possibilites.

  1. Chaos healing
  2. Chaos Aura
  3. Ball of darkness
  4. Chaos teleport
  5. Chaos strength
  6. Fire breath

It is possible to pay the ollvaror masters to choose your chaotic powers, but it is not cheap and perhaps not affordable for your first character. Accept your destiny (die painfully).

Secrets in the world

There are a lot of ways you can alter the world, and the world can alter your character. Most of them are not obvious, and does not appear in the basic interface. You can explore the knowledge site (in construction) or ask veteran players.

Dont worry a lot in this point. Just avoid to die.
