Firstly, learn how to move your character, fight monsters and go up and down stairs. Take advantage of diagonal movement keys. Pressing ? brings up on-line help which discusses the basics of playing the game and how to move your character. One helpful hint is to press O and set the num_pad option. This lets you use the number pad to move your character. The goal of the game is to get the Amulet of Yendor which is on level 50 or so of the dungeon, so head down slowly and explore the dungeon carefully. For now, your main goal is survival.

  • Firstly, learn how to move your character, fight monsters and go up and down stairs. Take advantage of diagonal movement keys. Pressing ? brings up on-line help which discusses the basics of playing the game and how to move your character. One helpful hint is to press O and set the num_pad option. This lets you use the number pad to move your character. The first lesson a new player should learn is to take it slowly! Never use the auto-repeat feature that keyboards have; press each key deliberately and carefully and take your time. Move using _, g and G to move safely down corridors. Use > and < to go down and up stairwells. If you can't find the stairwell, search along walls (s) until you find a doorway; you may need to search around 10 times on a bit of wall before you find one. If the door is locked and you don't have an unlocking tool, you can kick (k) the door down, although it is preferable to leave the door locked and come back later when you have found an unlocking tool. The goal of the game is to get the Amulet of Yendor which is on level 50 or so of the dungeon, so head down slowly and explore the dungeon carefully. For now, your main goal is survival. When you come across a monster, first look it up in this wiki to determine whether it is a good idea to fight it. Moving into it will fight it. When fighting, watch your HP (health). When it goes below half of its maximum, run away to heal (don't wait until you have only 1HP left!). Healing occurs slowly as you explore the dungeon or rest (.). When you have killed a monster, you will usually want to eat its corpse, although make sure that you check that monster's entry in this wiki to determine if its corpse is safe to eat. If you don't eat corpses, you'll probably die of hunger. In the first few dungeon levels, don't eat kobold corpses, don't eat corpses that you didn't kill the last 50 turns, and don't attack floating eyes with melee. If your HP gets below 6, you are "weak" with hunger or otherwise in a bad situation, use the extended command "pray". Don't do this more often than once every 1000 turns. Engraving "Elbereth" on the ground (type E then - then "Elbereth") will stop most monsters attacking you.
