Let’s turn your first chaotic deaths into meaningful, permanent strength.

1. Understanding the Core Loop: Survive, Die, Grow

Inferno’s entire design revolves around learning through resets.
You will die—often—and that’s expected.

✔️ Run Objectives

Every run has the same core goal:
Complete a mission (collect SPLithium or reach a Depth milestone) → Find an Escape Pod → Evacuate.

A successful evacuation raises your Body Rank, the key to unlocking deeper layers of Hell Gate.

✔️ Permanent Progress

These stay with you forever:

Mastery Points → Buffs engraved on your Spine
Storage expansions
Blueprints
Weapons in your Safe Box

✔️ What You Lose on Death

If you die in the field:

Backpack items
All carried weapons
Equipped Body resets to Rank 1

This is normal—Inferno expects you to die, stash valuable items, and try again.

2. Your First 60 Minutes: Path to Body Rank 3

Reaching Body Rank 3 is your first major milestone. The game becomes more dangerous afterward, so efficiency matters.

⭐ Step-by-Step Flow

1. Begin Exploration
Enter your first randomized zone of Hell Gate.

2. Complete Your Mission
Use your Crouch SP Radar:

Blue → SPLithium (Weeping Skulls)
White → Enemies
Red → Raiders
Yellow → Escape Pod

Gather at least 100–300 SPLithium.

3. Locate the Escape Pod
Pods spawn in large, square rooms.
Clear the area fully—activation immobilizes you.

4. Evacuate → Rank Up
Store your loot → Repeat once more → Achieve Body Rank 3.

🔥 Why Rank 3 Matters

Reaching Rank 3 unlocks the Demon Gate Labyrinth, your first real difficulty spike.

3. Best Starter Bodies (Beginner Tier List)

Community consensus based on early impressions:

🥇 S-Tier: Timothy – The Survival King

Comes with a healing skill
Balanced stats
Best forgiving kit for new players

🥈 A-Tier: Rae – The Mobile Hunter

Great early mobility
Fast animations
Good synergy with dual-wield builds

🥉 B-Tier: Jamila – The Aggressor

High strength
Best if you already understand enemy patterns

Recommendation:
➡️ Start with Timothy for an easier, safer early game.

4. Best Starter Weapons (Comparison & Tips)

Weapon	Rating	Why It’s Good	Best For
Wheel Blade	⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐	Long lunge attacks, safe Deathblow, extremely forgiving	Versatile, safe playstyle
Katana	⭐⭐⭐⭐	Fast, sweeping Deathblow that clears groups	Aggressive, crowd control
Bat	⭐⭐⭐⭐	Reliable hits, strong Guard Breaks	Consistent damage
Arm	⭐⭐⭐	Long reach, decent poke	Keeping distance
Greatsword	⭐⭐⭐	Massive damage, slow but devastating	Single-target bosses

⚔️ Weapon Pro Tips

Dual-Wield Immediately: Enables Guard Breaks and combos.
Use Deathblows Early: Rage generates fast—don’t hoard it.
Prioritize Rarity: Higher rarity = higher base damage.
Look for “Normal Attack+” Perks: Best early DPS boost.

5. Early PvP Guide – How to Stay Alive

PvP happens naturally—Inferno is PvEvP, meaning Raiders can appear mid-run.

✔️ PvP Basics

Other players appear as hostile Raiders.
If they kill you → you lose all carried gear.
You can run from most Raiders.

✔️ Best New Player Strategy

➡️ Avoid all Raiders until you fully understand combat.

✔️ How to Avoid PvP Deaths

Use bushes/tall grass to break line-of-sight.
Turn corners and dash—Raider lock-on breaks easily.
Never fight another Raider if you’re carrying valuables.

6. Essential Survival Tactics & Common Mistakes

🌱 Survival Tactics

Fight enemies one at a time.
Create distance using dash + crouch.
Heal often—don’t save Vitanon for “later.”
View every room before entering.

❌ Costly Mistakes to Avoid

Buying store items early → Always expand Storage first.
Forgetting the Safe Box → Never carry Blueprints or rare weapons into danger.
Triggering Escape Pods without clearing enemies → Free death.
Rushing fights → Study animations before committing.
