Last update: 24 April 2024

No Rest for the Wicked, a new game by Moon Studios, focuses mainly on dynamic combat and exploration. A set of diverse systems and mechanics can, however, cause confusion and a sense of being lost among new players. The tips here will help you delve into the world of the game and make the first few hours with the title more enjoyable.

Pay attention to the weight classes

The weight class mechanic present in the game determines what set of moves is available to your hero depending on how heavy is the equipment they are currently wearing - No Rest for the Wicked: Tips and tricks - Basics - No Rest for the Wicked Guide

The weight class mechanic present in the game determines what set of moves is available to your hero depending on how heavy is the equipment they are currently wearing. The available classes are:

  1. Fast;
  2. Normal;
  3. Heavy.

Each of them is characterized by a different type of dodge, stamina consumption, and even a special move. In the first few hours with the game, it's worth testing all the available weight options and deciding which one suits you the most. You can find more about the weight class mechanic on the guide page How does Weight Class work.

At the start, improve Health, Stamina and Equip Load

After leveling up in No Rest for the Wicked, the game will ask you to spend 3 attribute points among the character's statistics - No Rest for the Wicked: Tips and tricks - Basics - No Rest for the Wicked Guide

After leveling up in No Rest for the Wicked, the game will ask you to spend 3 attribute points among the character's statistics. The attributes that we believe are best to focus on at the beginning are:

  1. Health - a larger health bar will help you survive dangerous fights (especially with bosses);
  2. Stamina - improved stamina will allow you to perform more attacks and dodges without having to stop to regenerate it. This will be particularly important when playing heavier weight classes, which quickly deplete their stamina bar.
  3. Equip Load - increasing this statistic by 1 point increases the equip load by 10 units. It expands the weight class scale and allows for carrying heavier weapons and armor, while maintaining the preferred class.

Next, you can consider developing Focus, which will allow you to perform complex special attacks more often. In the later stages of the game, you can stick with the statistics that you will need, for example, to use specific types of weapons.

Experiment with different types of weapons

In the new game by Moon Studios, you will encounter many diverse weapons and their combinations - No Rest for the Wicked: Tips and tricks - Basics - No Rest for the Wicked Guide

In the new game by Moon Studios, you will encounter many diverse weapons and their combinations. Daggers or a Rapier will work well for a fast and agile character who swiftly leaps towards the opponents. Heavy two-handed swords and hammers will appeal to players who prefer dealing single, powerful strikes. In the early stages of the game, experiment with different configurations to find the one you like the most. Once you decide on your favorite play style, you can focus on developing your build in a specific direction.

Remember to dismantle gear

The equipment you carry in No Rest for the Wicked gets damaged over time, and in extreme cases it may become completely useless - No Rest for the Wicked: Tips and tricks - Basics - No Rest for the Wicked Guide

The equipment you carry in No Rest for the Wicked gets damaged over time, and in extreme cases it may become completely useless. Pay attention to its condition by opening the equipment menu and hovering over the selected piece of equipment (the number of hit points is located in the lower left corner, next to the hammer icon). When one of your items is close to being destroyed, you will be warned by an icon appearing in the bottom right corner of the screen. An item with a 0 value will automatically disappear from your inventory and then added back in its unusable form. However, you will still be able to fix it.

There are 2 ways to repair your equipment:

  1. On the way to the Sacrament town, you will encounter Fillmore the blacksmith. In exchange for saving him from aggressive soldiers, he will repair your equipment for free. To do this, select the "Repair" option in the conversation menu. After defeating the first boss and reaching the city, Fillmore will return to his workshop, but from then on his services will become paid.
  2. Traveling around the world, every now and then you can come across items called Repair Powder. Using them partially repairs equipped items.
