Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a tutorial?

Not really, but playing in beginner mode will give some hints on the controls.

How do I enter towns or dungeons?

Move on top of the town or dungeon and press >.

Where can I find the controls?

In game you can press the enter key or ? (depending on your keybinding). You can also view the controls here.

Why am I getting sick travelling the wilderness?

This is usually a result of travelling around while bloated or overfed. A more detailed explanation is provided here.

How do I avoid starvation?

There is a guaranteed food shop in the starting town. Ranks in the survival skill reduce the amount of food needed when traveling the wilderness. Exploring dungeons and fighting random encounters usually gives a net increase in satiation.

What skills are implemented?

Archery, athletics, detect item status, dodge, fighting with two weapons, find weakness, healing, literacy, open locks, pick pockets, survival, and tactics are known to work.

How do shops work?

Pick up items and press C next to the shopkeeper to buy. Drop items (using d or :d) of the type stocked to sell. More detailed information is available here.

How can I traverse deep water and mountains?

You can cross deep water with a boat, and mountains with a climbing set. Magical means such as flight also work (and are more readily available).

How do I deal with big heavy-hitting monsters?

Warrior monks and nuns as well as archers generally have an easier time of it, as do trolls. If you are faster than your opponents, kiting them around can work wonders.

I've heard about magic, praying, sacrificing, wands, herbs, smithing, etc.; where are they?

You were probably hearing about the original ADOM. ADOM II is still in the early stages of development and doesn't yet have these features.

Where can I get more help?

You can ask in the ADOM II forums.
