Getting Started in The Severed Gods

## Before You Start
Try the free Chapter One demo if it's still available -- it's confirmed to offer a fully playable first chapter with core combat, build customization, karma-based choices, and meta progression.
Since the game is in active Early Access with a confirmed price increase planned at full release, joining now is confirmed to be the more affordable entry point.
## Mastering the Break & Sever System
Since enemies are confirmed to have distinct Low, Mid, and High body sections with their own weaknesses, target strategically rather than attacking randomly -- breaking the right section opens the door to severing away a boss's most dangerous ability.
## Building Around Relics Deliberately
Since relics are confirmed to transform your base abilities into entirely new versions, experiment with combinations that complement your hero's strengths rather than equipping relics randomly.
## Engaging With NPCs Thoughtfully
Since the Hero Sigil System is confirmed to carry real consequences for how you interact with NPCs -- stealing, hiring, learning, or extracting information -- consider the long-term impact of each choice rather than picking the most immediately convenient option.
## Common Mistakes
* Ignoring the vertical body-section system -- targeting without considering Low/Mid/High weaknesses is confirmed to be far less effective than a targeted approach.
* Treating NPC interactions as consequence-free -- the Hero Sigil System is confirmed to carry real, lasting effects.
