Quick Answer

You save by choosing Save at a Crystal Monument. Resting at the same monument heals you but does not save. The first Crystal Monument is on your left, right behind the wooden barrier at the start.

OptionWhat it does
SaveRecords your progress
RestRestores health, clears bad status effects, brings most normal enemies back

Resting does not save. Pick Save every time you stop at a monument, even if you also rest.

What happens when you die?

You go back to your last save. Anything you did after that save is gone, so save after a hard fight or a good item.

Where players get stuck

  • Lost progress after dying: you rested but never picked Save.
  • Enemies came back: resting respawns most normal enemies; save, then decide if you need to rest.
