#General Things
When walking diagonally relative to your facing, you move at normal speed both forward and sideways, which means you move about 40% faster diagonally, so do this whenever possible. In addition sprinting is obviously faster, so do this whenever you have endurance charged. Also, Berserk makes you move at the same speed as sprinting, so in times between fights, alternate Berserk and Sprint to maintain top speed. However, be sure to hold back on Berserk immediately prior to fights so you will have the mana to use Berserk during the fight.

Unlocking Glitch: If you open your inventory, then switch the left screen to the bag tab, you can move items there to drop them. If you are opening a chest, this screen instead corresponds with the contents of the chest. If you are facing a chest and open that tab, it will also correspond with that chest, without bothering to check to see if that chest was unlocked.

When looking at any loot or chest, you can press L to automatically move all the items to your inventory. You can also press B to leave the loot screen.

Unless otherwise specified, just mash A when talking to any character.

Don't waste time fighting most enemies, unless they are in your way.

Don't bother spending your points every time you level up. Save them up and spend a bunch all at once. This way you don't have to be faffing with the level up screen 30 times over the course of the run.
