ROCKtropia Adventure Survival Guide!

​

Below is your 101 Guide To Adventure Survival
Basic Guidelines and Tips

• All Adventures have a time limit assigned to them, make sure to keep track of your time and get through the adventures as quickly as possible.
• There are set time limits for the looting, meaning when it’s time to loot… LOOT!!!
• All adventures are broken up into two separate experiences, Single Player and Team. All entry points are clearly marked, for example “Abandoned Mine (Team)” or if its single player “Abandoned Mine”.
• Adventures can be accessed by obtaining varying levels of LockPick Kits. There are 10 + types of lockpick kits to be crafted.
• Dungeons in Hell Require a Hell Key
• You can revive in some adventures, but others need to completed on a single life. Best bet is to not die. The penalty can be a failure of the dungeon. (Wink Wink don’t die in a Booty Raid)
• Walls, Objects, Explosives, Keys etc, there are a ton of things that might be interactive. So make sure to take a look around. There might be a door you have to blow your way through or a combination you need to unlock, so if you get stuck take a look around your environment, shoot out some glass and fight your way through.
• You don’t have to loot enemies. Just take em down and progress. The loot will be accumulated at the end of the adventure. You MUST complete the adventure in order to access the loot.
• Make sure to stock up with tons of ammo prior to entering an adventure. Some adventures have trade terminals inside, but others force you to complete the adventure with the items in your inventory only. Some adventures are over 3 hours long and you might encounter hundreds of enemies so make sure to keep your inventory heavily stocked with the things you need to survive.
• Do NOT Use the Dungeon Exits unless there something goes terribly wrong. These are used for resetting the instance and to respawn you back on the planet. If you exit, there will be no confirmation message, your lockpick kit will be consumed and the adventure will reset. Dungeon Exits are clearly marked with the word “EXIT”.
• Most interactive objects can be activated through a right click.
• Waypoints are laid out to help you find your way around. Make sure to pay attention to them.
• Make sure to have your sound and music turned on. Some puzzles might require the use of all of your senses in order to complete.
