Dream Slayers: Basics Guide

Keybinds in Dream Slayers are critical — especially your attack binds. Let’s break down one of the most important parts of your setup.

In Dream Slayers, every weapon type has three different attack variations, and mastering your controls is the key to surviving tough encounters. Make sure you bind these attacks to keys you can reach quickly, comfortably, and repeatedly, as fluid combat is a huge part of your success in the Dream Realm.

Each unique 3-attack combo you execute will also grant you a damage multiplier, rewarding players who stay intentional and precise with their inputs.

As your multiplier increases, your overall attack damage increases with it. You can always check your current damage output by looking at the number displayed beneath your Health and Stamina bars.

Resource Gathering is one of the core systems in Dream Slayers, and mastering it early will set you up for long-term success. Nearly everything you collect in the Dream Realm — from ores and herbs to monster drops — plays a role in crafting, upgrading gear, and progressing your character.

Let’s go through some of the gatherable items:

Magic Mushrooms are a consumable item that will restore your Health, making them especially useful during early-game encounters or long expedition runs.

Stamina Mushrooms are consumable items that provide a temporary stamina boost while also restoring any stamina you’ve lost. These are great for longer fights or quick escapes.

Death Mushroom is a consumable that won’t actually kill you. Go ahead and eat it — its effects are surprising, but harmless… mostly.

Wood Planks are primarily used for crafting and can be combined to create Refined Wood, which is essential for higher-tier recipes and upgrades.
