Tips

Save your Ancient Arrows exclusively for the deadliest threats, such as Lynels and Guardian Skywatchers.
Cook wood gathered from cutting down trees in single portions using a lit cooking pot to yield Dubious Food for extra healing.
Unequip all metal weapons, bows, and shields during the lightning-filled early floors to avoid being struck by lightning.
Crouch and sneak slowly without dashing when approaching the rest room ponds so you do not scare away the Fairies.
Carry a flame weapon on cold floors or an ice weapon on hot floors to provide passive temperature protection without consuming elixir buffs.
