Save a like weapon for the troll blacksmith if you can and move past the level if you don't have one yet. Back through a 2nd doorway whenever safe & possible. Your goal is to 1 shot them as you back through the doorway. Since brutes enrage and spiders poison, you really do not want to stand toe-to-toe and trade blows so again, use any ranged you can to get them low enough. If you are unlucky enough to have not found a tier 4 weapon by now, you will have to settle on a tier 3. Levels 11-14: Brutes and spiders start to do some serious damage so you need your end game weapon now. Don't worry about starving, once you get your end game weapon you will start 1 shotting mobs and your pace will accelerate tremendously. Starving for a few points of health is still better than getting hit for 5-10 health multiple times. Use these as kill rooms whenever you can safely pull mobs to them.

Since thieves now can permanently steal items, it can be a good idea to lead them to a dead end room and walk around them to the door, giving them a free hit or 2 on you but blocking them from leaving before you start attacking them.Īs mentioned in the beginner's guide, using a single tile of high grass in the middle of a room lets you land multiple surprise attacks as you dance around it. Again, avoid trading blows with mobs whenever possible. If you happen to get any damaging wand, your goal will be to open door to room > damage mob just enough with wand or ranged so that when you retreat behind the door, your surprise attack 1 shots the mob or retreating behind another door kills it with a 2nd hit. You want to save your upgrades for your end game weapon. With the new patch, you should look for any tier 2 weapon that can be used without upgrading or maybe with 1 to 2 max upgrades.

Levels 6-9: You cannot survive long in these levels without starting to upgrade your weapon. Yes, it is dangerous not knowing which potion is health but you can find out by killing flies since they always drop health or if you start getting a lot of 1 potion type since health is the most common potion. Not identifying scrolls and potions is also important since you can buy them much cheaper at the shop if they are not identified. Try not to use any potions in case you need fire, lev, or invis for a special room. Try not to use any scrolls until you have at least a tier 2 weapon to upgrade in case you use a SoU. Don't be afraid to use all your food, starving early hurts but starving later isn't a big deal. You don't want to miss a hidden area with a strength potion or upgrade scroll. Levels 1-4: Fully explore each level, kill everything, try and find all hidden doors & rooms.

I won't go into how to defeat the Goo boss since I'm sure that's been covered many times before and the other bosses are easy enough. Now that you've got the basics of fighting down, and you're upgrading only your weapon, let's look at how to play each group of levels. I played over 100 games without much success before I learned these 2 tricks and then started winning around 1 in 10 games without any more knowledge listed below. You may want to spend 1-2 SoU max on a tier 2 or 3 weapon just so you can get to your end game tier 4 weapon. The latest version of Shattered requires 2 upgrade scrolls to lower strength requirements by 1 point so tier 5 weapons have become almost worthless. Tier 2 is too weak and tier 5 will typically take too long to use effectively and you will use all your health potions trying to get to that point. Tier 4 is ideal but tier 3 is still very doable. You don't need great armor or upgraded rings or artifacts if you can 1 or 2 shot every mob with surprise attacks. The 2nd strategy here ties in with the first: spend all your SoU on your weapon, never on anything else. Trading blows at the higher levels is bad. Using surprise/ambush attacks is essential to killing mobs while taking as little damage as possible and it becomes even more important in the higher levels as mobs have very high evasion and can hit very hard. I assume this was done to prevent you from using a weapon that is way too heavy for you and one-shotting everything at the lower levels (a good change). The latest version of shattered requires that you have the correct strength to use your weapon for this to apply. If the mob cannot see you and has to spent their turn moving into position to see you, your next attack cannot miss. The key here is breaking their line of sight with you. Even better, you can use a single tile of high grass in the middle of a room to dance around and land multiple surprise attacks. Most posts will reference using doorways to land guaranteed hits and this is your bread and butter, but you can also use 180 degree walls (like making a U-turn).

The most important thing to learn first is how to use line of sight when fighting.

There are plenty of ways to win the game and other strategies out there. The moderator asked me to consolidate all guides to one post.
