I’ve been playing this game for years. I’ve gotten past the blobs. Made it to the shop. But I can’t get much past there.

Is there some pattern, or technique, or something that you’re all doing?

I search rooms. I watch my food. I use my items. Upgrade them. Am patient in battle, and avoid battle if required.

What am I missing?

Thank you

    I’m a bit like OP and so far almost every potion and scroll is indecipherable, expect for the scroll of rage which feels pretty useless for a beginner.

      Use scrolls of identify on scrolls. You can also cook them in an alchemy pot to turn them into stones, identifying them in the process.

      Also you’re guaranteed to get 3 scrolls of upgrade in each chapter.

      For potion identification, if a floor have a “puzzle” room, there’s a potion on the same floor to solve it. Like piranha room would have an invisibility potion, trap room a float potion and so on.
