Tutorial
The tutorial was designed to help you get familiar with how to move around and perform basic functions in the game. Below we have listed what you need to do in each room.
Monsters: Large Rat
- Starting Point: You start the tutorial here. We suggest you hit your Left 1 button twice to have the overhead map appear in the upper right hand of the screen. This makes it easier to navigate. Follow the in-game instructions and head north.
- Pick up and Equip: You learn how to open chests, pick up items and use the inventory screen to equip items. Once done, continue north.
- Smashing: You learn how to smash items such as barrels and crates. This is an important skill to know because many of the treasures you find in the game are hidden in such containers. The only way to get to said treasure is to smash open the containers. Smash the three crates and nine barrels and continue north.
- Jumping: You learn how to jump. There are a few jump puzzles in the game, so this is a good skill to master. Jump up and hit the lever and continue north.
- Melee Combat: You have your first battle with two Large Rats. Be careful, you can die in the tutorial. Once you have killed them continue heading north for your next lesson.
- Saving: There is a save pedestal here, so pay attention how to use this. Your best friend in the game is a save pedestal. Nothing is more aggravating than being killed and loosing two hours of playing time. Save at every pedestal you come upon. Once you have learned this, head north.
- Ranged Weapons: You learn how to equip and use a bow and arrows. To aim, lightly press the X button and an aiming pointer will appear. Once you have it aimed, click harder on the X button and the bow will fire. Proceed north.
- End of the Line: Congratulations, you have finished the tutorial. You should now have the basic skills to play the game. Head up the stairs and start yourself a new game of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance.
