The description for both items and treasures will pop up underneath the status screen when they are highlighted. The item and treasure screens are pretty self-explanatory, as they simply show the gear you have picked up over the course of a run. It simply shaves off the listed percentage of a Skill's base cooldown. Skill Cooldown is somewhat different from the other skills as all boosts to it will be lowering the cooldown by a percentage. Health determines your total HP, Attack determines your damage output, Defend determines the damage enemies will deal to you, Speed determines your movement speed and slightly influences your attack speed, Critical determines your chance to strike a critical hit. As for the function of the stats, they are all very basic. The three status screens provide information regarding your character's stats, items, and treasures.įor the character stats, the number in parenthesis indicates the total stat boost you have from the weapon and armor you are equipped with, whereas the number before the parenthesis includes your base stat as well as any stat boosts you have from other sources. And though it is probably obvious, the Exit option simply returns you to the main menu.
The fourth option shows you the credits for Lost Castle. You also have the option to set them to their default controls schemes. The second and third options allow you to see and edit both the control schemes of the keyboard and the controller, respectively. There is also the option to delete your data in the bottom left corner of this screen. The first option allows you to adjust sound levels, turn controller vibrations on or off, turn auto-combo on or off, select your language, and to adjust the game resolution/screen size to your liking. When selected, a small window will pop up with another five options to select from. Note: This Compendium guide is currently out of date. To reduce the heavy load of images while still covering all the information that I can, I have created a separate guide that contains all of the information found within the Compendium. The Compendium can be accessed even when playing. You can select individual listings for extra information about them. It has four tabs on the left side: Equipment, Item, Monster, and Boss. Previously referred to as the Manual, the Compendium will fill up with information as you play through the game. The Continue option only appears when you have quit a run early, and it allows you to jump back in from where you left off. I will only be providing information for the less obvious options. The Menu screen for Lost Castle has up to 6 options that can be selected. I apologize for the poor quality, but I hope that the few videos featured in the guide are bearable enough to get the point across. I have added a small number of self-recorded videos regarding the secret Nightmare Mode path near the end of this guide, and the quality is mostly okay but it does get pretty choppy at certain points. This guide is up to date with Lost Castle v2.01. When using direct quotes from the game, I will continue to leave in any errors I come across, both on the off chance that they may noticed and corrected and also so that people will be able to recognize descriptions as they are found in-game. Now that the game is fully released, nearly all of the spelling and grammatical errors have been corrected. After a short while of playing, I fell in love with this game and I decided to put this guide together in order to help others who may be seeking such a resource as I had been early on.Ī lot of the provided information may very well be superfluous, but I wanted to do my best to make the mechanics of this game as clear as possible to newcomers. When I started playing Lost Castle, I was surprised that there were not yet any English guides or even a wiki of some form available to check for details and information regarding various parts of the game.
