1. Communicate with your team
  • Typing or voice chat can make or break runs.

  • Tell your party what the color potion you drank does. The color and effect changes each run.

  • If you find a heart ask your party members how much health they have. They may need it more than you do. 1.5/3+.5 if you have 1 and a half hearts filled, out of 3 max hearts. As well as half an armor left.

  • If you find an important room tell others where it is if they're not with you. Same thing if you die.
    Example

    The purple block being Shop,
    the yellow block being Item Room,
    and red block being Boss.
    A way to say it would be.
    Shop+Item Room bottom left. Boss top mid.

  • Where you are on the map is the white dot. It's 2 below boss in this picture.
    If you're dead and asking to please be revived. You can also add details like this based on the example picture.
    Boss top mid, I'm dead 2 below boss


  • That or you just guide them room by room which direction to take to get to you.

    Using "View Next Player" default key Z. You can change view from yourself, to the person your guiding, back to yourself. To help give an idea which direction you are to the one you're asking to please revive you.

  • It requires you to give half a heart to the person your reviving. You giving half a heart will of course, damage you. It can kill your character if you have half a heart left.

  • Reviving can trigger effects from giving up half a heart. One being the most avoided item in the game which will kill you, and others. Including the one you're reviving.


  • Please don't be rude or rush others. It's just going to cause trouble and might end up with people leaving/stopping the lobby.
2. Use voice chat if you can.
It accelerates how fast you can communicate and generally helps make everyone more effective. I like to use discord. Never Split the Party: Community[discord.gg]
3. Come up with a game plan early on.
Are you wanting to attempt a run under 20 minutes for an unlock? That, or are you trying to look through every room for consumeables and money for items.
4. Can't grab a green gem and confused why?
Green gems recharge spacebar items. Currently Fighter doesn't have one. Though other clases do.
5. Loremaster gone and grabbed an item?
No worries
  1. Press "Esc"


  2. Look for the new icon of the item


  3. If you don't know what it is, then click "Stats"


  4. Look for the item in the ugprades, and click it...


  5. to get the info
6. Someone tracking color/effect for potions.
It can save your party from a lot of harm, but remember if you don't tell them what your potion does and the color. They won't be able to keep track of it. Also, the color/effect changes each run.

Way to try and keep it short.

Example:
White/+Bomb Grey/Dmg+ Black/Heal Orange/-Bomb Yllw/Reveal Pink/BulletSpd- Red/16LiveBombs DRed/AtkSpd+ Blue/BulletSpd+ DBlue/AtkSpd- Prpl/Hp+ Green/+$ Lime/-$ DGreen/Hp- Gold/Spd- DBrown/Spd+ LBrown/Key+ Cyan/Key-

Abbreviations
Yllw = Yellow
D = Dark
Prpl = Purple
Lime = Light Green (Just shorter then LGreen and less confusing then LG)

Reveal = Current map is revealed
Dmg = Damage
Spd = Speed
Atk = Attack
Hp = Health Points = Hearts
$ = Coins

+ = More of it, or Double
- = Less of it, or Lose All
Both of these depend on the type it effects.
Damage, Bullet Speed, Attack Speed, Hp, Speed = +More or -Less of.
Coin / Bombs / Keys = +Double or -Lose All

Colors:
White, Grey, Black
Blue, Dark Blue, Purple, Cyan
Red, Dark Red, Pink
Dark Brown, Light Brown, Gold
Green, Dark Green, Lime
Yellow, Orange
7. "Book of Knowledge" player grabbing unknown potions.
They can see what each potion is, though they have to remember the names.
8. Unsure how to unlock an item?
Take a look at the steam achievements. It tells you how to get them them.

4 of them can also be unlocked by following Legend Studio on media.
  1. Press Esc

  2. Click Legend Studios


  3. Then click all 4 links to unlock each upgrade.
Note: Some are only obtainable if you have the dlc.
9. Careful placing bombs. Could kill a teammate.
Especially when using either of these 2 items.





Special mention, again.
BE CAREFUL REVIVING TEAMMATES WHEN YOU HAVE THIS ITEM.


You take half a heart of damage to GIVE a teammate half a heart to be revived.

If not just avoiding this item all together. You could also position yourself as far away as possible but still within range to revive the teammate.
10. Entering a room, take a sec before shooting.
When you don't shoot, you have a few moments of invulnerabilty (Take no damage).
ESPECIALLY good if you're not the first person to enter the room.

Pro tip: Pot of Gold doesn't double gold bags, so I guess this one you can leave for others

good advice

Imo Living Bombs is much better than Ring of Vengance, spawned bombs can make you stuck and trying to throw them at enemy is not always good idea, the first one on the other hand makes nearly all kind of grouped enemies die at same time, only metal enemies are able to survive this iirc

Also, personally I think the Living Bombs item is the worst in the game. It's the one that makes enemies explode on death and has the appearance of a red vortex. Every singe time someone has gotten that item, it leads to over half of the deaths in the party.
At least with Ring of Vengance, you can throw the bomb after being hit, but with Living Bombs, every enemy is a ticking time bomb chasing you down. There are even some rooms where damage ins unavoidable with Living Bombs without the use of invincibility or freezing items.

If the potion is identified, or if you have the Book of Knowledge, then you can pause the game with ESC, hover your mouse over the potion in the bottom right, and it will tell you specifically what the potion does when you close the menu, so you don't need to remember potion names.

This is really cool. Didn't know that potion color changes every run, thought it didn't matter at all.

You can use /stuck command to get to the starting room for easier revival or retreat from any room that is too hard for you.
You can't check what items you have in eq now when Loremaster is not in the same room as you.
I think you missed silver from potion colors list.
Watch out for your teammates when you have Destruction - the items that cause to use bomb projectiles cause explosions from them hurt others and you too.
Also you can throw bombs at enemies, and pots, too. Pots always deal 30 damage.
When you find a room with chest being at the center surrounded by spikes then find pots and throw them from the side or top into chest - it will push it from behind spikes. Bombs work too, but they are useful for other stuff.
