• Bestiary
• Monster description
• Oils

Bestiary

You can find information about types in the bestiary. To enter the bestiary, you must click the arrow at the very bottom of the screen (shown in the screenshot above).

The next step will be to enter the "bestiary" available at the very center of the screen.

In the bestiary, you can find information about all monsters you have met. The descriptions of the opponents include:

1. the option to see the monster in AR,
2. vulnerabilities/weaknesses,
3. the monster's class
4. occurrence,
5. length,
6. weight,
7. a brief description.

Monster description

A quicker way to distinguish a monster type is to check the monster's description before the fight. The type name will be at the very top, between the monster's name and its difficulty level.

Oils

It is worth paying attention to the enemy's species. Oils that work great on specific species:

1. Necrophage Oil - increases melee damage against necrophages by 100%;
2. Ogroid Oil - increases melee damage against ogroids by 100%;
3. Cursed Oil - increases melee damage against the cursed by 100%;
4. Relict Oil - increases melee damage against relics by 100%;
5. Hybrid Oil - increases melee damage against hybrids by 100%;
6. Insectoid Oil - increases melee damage against insectoids by 100%;
7. Draconid Oil - increases melee damage against draconids by 100%;
8. Specter Oil - increases melee damage against specters by 100%;
9. Elemental Oil - increases melee damage against magical creatures by 100%;
10. Vampire Oil - increases melee damage against vampires by 100%.
