Caves (Roguelike) Tips: Potions

Here are Caves (Roguelike) Tips about potions, what they do, and how to best use them.

Health Potion: 

Heals you overtime.

Fire Potion:

  - Throw on mobs to deal fire damage especially on the location of certain mobs that go invisible not only to spite them, but also for a chance to destroy them off screen.
  - Throw on the floor to stall mobs while you make you escape.

Acid Potion:

  - Throw on mobs to deal poison damage especially on the location of certain mobs that go invisible not only to spite them, but also for a chance to destroy them off screen.
  - Throw on the floor to delay mobs while you make you getaway.
  - Throw on yourself right after activating the Inversion Scroll to heal yourself.

Teleport: 

To help you escape a compromised position;
  - whether it be to escape a pincer attack from two or more mobs,
  -  escape live explosives about to go off right at your feet, or
  - hop over crystal stalagmites blocking a narrow path in order to escape your pursuer(s).

Random Teleport: 

Serves two purposes.

Firstly, throw on the floor to teleport a random item to that location with a small chance of summoning an armored mob which will try to end you.

I almost exclusively only use this the instant a Demon Portal opens nearby.

Secondly, throw on a mob to teleport them away to a random location.

I almost exclusively only use this the instant a Demon Portal opens nearby.

I'll throw it on the floor until either the closest demon comes within range or the Armored mob gets summoned. Whichever happens first.

If I'm lucky and said mob gets summoned, I'll cleverly fight alongside it to defeat the demons all the while damaging it enough so that it barely has any health to challenge me with after we've wiped out the demons.

The only other time I use it is to teleport away Crystal Golems and the members of the Mop Up Squad.

I make sure to immediately start excavating after doing this, as walking around increases my chances of running into them again.

Health Crystal: 

Heals you a tonne instantly.

Energy Crystal: 

Replenishes a lot of your energy instantly.

Resurrection Crystal: 

Prevents you from rage quitting when you die.

Stockpiling useful weapons at the entrances to the buildings housing the Ancient ruins and Portal respectively ensures that I can immediately replace weapons and items that where not saved after my demise.

This makes it less painful I'm defeated.

Caves (Roguelike) Inventory Tips

Caves (Roguelike) Tips: Inventory Here are Caves (Roguelike) tips on how to manage your inventory space so as not to hoard unimportant items nor waste ones you might need down the line. Inventory Size Extension There are certain items that will enable you to increase the max capacity of your inventory, thereby giving you more room to work with. They include: Quiver Tactical Belt Large Inventory   - the Large Inventory from the Installer in the home base,   - the Tactical Belt from the Crating Table, and occasionally   - Quivers and like which you can find in the caves. Item Collection Guide Once you teleport to the cave for the first time, its fine to grab every single item you come across. As time goes on, and your inventory space begins to diminish, you'll have to be picky about what you collect, and drop items at strategic locations. Keep in mind that the only items you'll have the liberty to do this with are mostly weapons and o...

Caves (Roguelike) Scroll Tips

Here are Caves (Roguelike) Scroll Tips for each scroll and how to effectively use them to greatly enhance one's gameplay experience. Scroll of Death I don't always use this scroll. In fact, when I'm low on space this scroll is the first thing to go. But when I do use it I make sure there is a ton of mobs around. Scroll of Vampirism Here is another scroll I don't use very often, but when I do I make sure I use the Death Scroll right after to destroy a lot of mobs at the time or I use one of the two Experimental Guns; you know, those ones that destroy everything in the direction where it was fired. That way I get more bang for my buck. Scroll of Rage I only use the scroll when there is a ton of mobs around and there is one or two Elite mobs. That way I can fight alongside the elite mobs against the weaker mobs and then defeat the now weakened Elite Mob at the end. Scroll of Destruction I used this scroll to uncover mobs that are hiding using inv...
