Left-click on a hidden cell to reveal it. (The first click on a brand new puzzle is always safe, so just click near the middle of the grid)
-The revealed cell turns into a number to show how many of the 8 neighbors (up, down, left, right, or diagonal) contain a monster.
-If the cell has zero neighboring monsters, the cell is emptied out and the game automatically clears neighbors until it gets to cells with 1 or more neighbors. This might clear out a whole chunk of the board. Hooray!
- -If you made a mistake and the cell contains a monster, the monster is revealed! This generally causes you to lose life (and if you lose all your life points, you lose the quest). Oh no!
Along the way you might also reveal other things – loot (like coins) strangers (like mercenaries), or other objects (like signposts).
Right-click on a hidden cell to flag it as containing a monster. The objective of each level is to correctly flag all the cells containing monsters. Once all the monsters are flagged or revealed, and no extra flags are placed, the level is complete. If you notice you flagged a cell by mistake, right-click it again to un-flag it.
If you click on a number (a revealed cell), and you’ve already flagged enough neighbors, the game will automatically reveal that number’s neighbors. For instance, if you click on a 1 after flagging one of its neighbors, clicking the 1 again will reveal all hidden neighbors except that flagged cell.
In general, you want to avoid having to guess by revealing a cell you’re not sure is safe. Clear as much of the board as you can without guesses – then, if you can, use items to avoid guesses, or prevent taking damage from a wrong guess.
