Dark LegacyYour first hour in Dark Legacy, step by step.
Welcome to Dark Legacy! Work through these steps in order. Each one names a HELP word if you want to know more.
| 1. LOOK AROUND | LOOK (or L) shows the room. EXITS shows the ways out. Walk with N, S, E, W, U, D, NE, NW, SE, SW. |
| 2. KNOW YOURSELF | SCORE shows your character. INVENTORY (I) shows what you carry, EQUIPMENT (EQ) what you wear. |
| 3. GEAR UP | GET <item> picks things up. WEAR <item> puts them on. COMPARE <item> tells you if it beats what you wear. Then PRACTICE your weapon skill at the trainer: an untrained weapon barely hurts. (HELP PRACTICE) |
| 4. FIND A PLACE | AREAS <your level> lists areas that suit you. |
| 5. FIGHT | KILL <target> starts a fight, but you do not attack on your own: keep typing JAB (or THRUST, LUNGE, CAST) until the enemy is dead. Going badly? FLEE. (HELP COMBAT) |
| 6. RECOVER | REST or SLEEP to heal faster, then STAND. Constructs heal with REPAIR instead (HELP HP). |
| 7. GROW | Each level brings practice sessions; SLIST shows new skills. QUEST talks to quest givers; JOURNAL tracks quests. |
| 8. ASK | newbie <question> reaches helpful players. |
| 9. IF YOU DIE | Type DEPART. HELP DEATH explains how to get your things back. |
| 10. STOP SAFELY | SAVE, then QUIT. You cannot quit during or right after a fight. |
