Commander Vile

- This strategy works with Sword and Shield and Dual Swords as well
- Using a Scroll of Blessing may also help mitigate the danger
- Killing Commander Vile stops The Corruption of It from spreading and Monsters from spawning on the surface
Rewards
- Recipe for the Homestone
- Commander Vile always drops a random weapon on death, proportional in strength to the player's level
Round and Round
Strategy
- The default key for Recalling (teleporting to the Homestone ) is "T"
- To teleport back to where you were (teleporting from the Homestone ) use "E" while standing near it
- Softcore: Before a difficult encounter (for example a boss fight), it's a good idea to recall once first to set your teleport location to that place. This way, if you die, you can quickly return there, saving a lot of time
Rewards
