What are the controls?
Use WASD or the arrow keys on a keyboard. On touch devices, move with the on-screen joystick. Menus support touch, mouse, keyboard, and controller navigation. See Controls and settings for the complete list.
Do I need to aim?
No. Base and Advanced Spells cast automatically during a standard chapter run. Focus on movement, spacing, collecting drops, and choosing upgrades.
What carries between runs?
Gold, purchased Ancient upgrades, unlocked Ancient powers, your selected Character, chapter and difficulty unlocks, collection progress, and achievement progress are persistent.
The spells, levels, Parchments, Synergies, seals, and Advanced Spell choices assembled during a run belong to that attempt and do not carry into the next run.
How does Continue work?
Continue restores the latest safe checkpoint for a valid saved run. The restored state can be slightly earlier than the moment play stopped. For an eligible alive Chapter run, starting from the same chapter offers Continue or New Run; New Run ends and replaces the saved attempt. Confirming Quit also ends it. Dead, revive-pending, and ending runs cannot use that replacement choice.
What if I leave after reaching zero health?
The current build offers one free revive per run. If a revive needs Save Required or Retry Save, finish the displayed save action. Continue Later applies only to an unresolved saved Chapter account revive request; it is not a general option at every death or in RIFT. See the revive guide.
How do I unlock another difficulty?
Clear Mortal to open Haunted for that chapter. Clear Haunted to open Forsaken. A Mortal clear also opens the next chapter’s Mortal path when that chapter is available.
What are Gold and Gems used for?
Gold pays for Ancient upgrades. An available Store exchange can convert Gems to Gold; Character and Family pairs use their own current offers. You do not need a Gem purchase for Ancient progression, but a linked account must have verified, synchronized Gold and Ancient state before an Ancient purchase. Store offer availability alone does not establish that readiness.
Gem packages, rewarded ads, and the permanent Free Revive purchase are hidden in this build. Use the price and availability shown for any other current offer.
Does reading an Inbox message collect its gift?
No. Reading and claiming are separate. When Inbox is available beside your Chapter Select profile, open the message and use Claim before the gift expires. Claims require a connection; retained messages can be read offline. See Inbox news and gifts.
Which Characters can I use?
See Characters and Families and the Family catalogue for Cinder, Moonwake Dancer, Ashbound Warden, and Veil Oracle, their signature Spells, and their Family paths.
