1. Download client and unzip it in any folder
2. Run the game with mangclient_sdl2.exe
3. Your account will be automatically created when you enter the server for the first time
💡 If the keyboard doesn’t work – switch to English layout or disable Caps Lock.
4. Press a to create a new character
5. Enter your character’s name and press a four times to create Half-Troll Warrior
6. Spend stat points with left-right arrow keys → Enter → Enter → Space
💡 Make sure to increase STRength to 18/30 (to attack more often).
7. You are in the game. Check inventory – i; check equipped items – e
8. Wear item – w; take off – t
9. Move with NumPad (if you don’t have NumPad – check this)
10. To run: Shift+<direction> (works when there is no monster around)
💡 If running doesn’t work – disable NumLock.
11. Speak to the ranger near the tavern’s entrance (to do so just “bump” into him)
12. Buy 40 Throwing Rocks: p → y → 40 → Enter
13. Go along the road to the dungeon Old Ruins (up to the crossroads and then north).
14. To get down: stand on the staircase and press >; get up <
15. Battle takes place in real-time; you attack automatically in melee
16. Throw rocks at the monsters from a distance with h
17. Pick up items with g; drop with d; use with U
18. If your character becomes a “number” – you are hurt; eg “4” = 40% HP
19. Rest to restore HP: R → & → Enter
20. It’s crucial to know how to create macros (hotkeys) to be able to use items fast. It is quite simple. Let’s create a macro to drink healing potions when you press F1:

  • press % (macros menu)
  • h to create ‘Keymap by item‘
  • press key on which you will have macro: F1
  • choose healing potion – Cure Light Wounds
  • - to finish macro creation
  • y to save macro
  • b (‘Save keymaps to file‘)
  • press Enter to confirm saving
  • Esc to exit the macros menu

21. Check who is online: @     to say something in the chat :
22. Play in a party with other players – P
💡 Read r Word of Recall scroll when you’re inside the dungeon to get back to the surface.
23. If you die – delete your character and create a new one.

Short list of commands (see more detailed list in the next chapter):

Ctrl+<direction> – alter. Universal command – works as attack, digging, open/close and disarming/breaking – depending on where it is applied
U – use an item (universal command);
h – shoot/throw missile at the closest enemy
i – inventory
e – equipped items
w – wear/wield
t – take off
< go up staircase; > go down
g – pick up item
d – drop on the ground
R – rest
C – character properties (C → m will show resistances)
Alt+F4 – exit the game
/retire – delete character

Now I strongly recommend checking the next chapter of the guide. If you carefully study it, you will die much less often 😉

P.S.
We have a new feature – hotkeys to control the flow of time:

  • Press 0 to use default value (slow down time when you have less than 60% HP)
  • Press Ctrl+0 to slow down time permanently (so when you have even a small scratch – time will slow down). This is useful in dangerous situations.
  • Press Alt+0 to turn off slowing time. Useful when you fight weak monsters.
