All right so basically to start off when ya boot up the game dont get any gold otherwise you'll miss out on some extra gold.

Skip all da interesting ♥♥♥♥ and go straight to the chapel. Do the puzzles their get a little spooked and grab yourself a cool looking rock!

once you've done that head towards the overlook and enter the cabin. go inside and enjoy yourself and rest a little bit! god knows you deserve it after all that walking and puzzling.

Once done start respecing your skills so you can acquire Keen Eye and boost your awareness while your at it. Their shouldn't be any BIG fights until after you pass the gate so just go around collecting your extra gold!

Gold can be spent on Healing Potions and Exploding potions but are also really good for offering! Remember a lil charity never hurt anyone (seriously donate your money it goes a long way if you have enough).

There will be two (maybe 3) big fights you'll encounter on your way to the end of the demo. Healing potions are great and having 5 or 6 is very possible and goes a LONG way. also the dark stones you have would be the item you collect and save for something greater but for now use any stones you come across! it'll give you extra skills if you feed and the demo is so short there is practically no point in holding onto them.

The bosses themselves are pretty easy if you maintain a safe distance and play smart. just remember that you can save right before a boss and go in, fail, switch up your skills and strategy, and then try again! Don't be afraid to have fun and enjoy the game. I did and I dont regret a single second.
