Plan your boons around a goal. Legendary boons only appear once you hold the right prerequisite boons from that god, and Duo boons need specific boons from two gods, so commit to the gods whose boons unlock the one you want.
Drive Parry (MP+MK) drains Drive Gauge while held, but a successful parry gives some gauge back. Use it against predictable pressure, and watch out for throws, which beat it.
Read every notice board. They trigger contracts and quests nearby — missing notice boards means missing significant content, including some of the best quests.
Put early points into Endurance, which raises your equip load. Stay at or below 25% equip load for a fast roll, or 50% for a medium roll; going over 50% causes a slow fat roll that makes fights much harder.
Beasts you keep in the Vivarium produce materials, such as Jobberknoll Feathers, when you feed and brush them. Gear upgrades and traits at the Enchanted Loom need these beast materials, so keep a few of each beast type to have a steady supply.
Practice deflecting normal attacks first to learn the timing. Red-glowing Critical Blows have a delayed deflect window, and deflecting too early turns into a dodge, but landing the deflect deals big Spirit damage.
Skelly's keepsake, the Lucky Tooth, automatically restores 50/75/100 HP (by rank) when your Life Total is depleted, once per escape attempt. It works like a bonus Death Defiance, which helps cover mistakes while you learn each biome.
Don't buy the map until you've died at least once in a new area. Cornifer the cartographer sells it cheap once you find him — exploring without a map first builds spatial understanding.
