Getting started
Tierfall is a top-down pixel MMO. You start in Haven, the safe town, and fight your way out through five tiers of zones, a dungeon and two world bosses. The deeper the tier, the tougher the monsters and the better the loot.
Your first hour
- Look around Haven. The guild hall, the chapel, the glassblower and the homes are all here. Nobody can attack you in town.
- Gear up. Press I to open your inventory and check your weapon before you leave.
- Head to Tier 1. Press M, pick Green Meadows and clear its quest: five slimes.
- Use your skills. Keys 2 to 6 fire your hotbar. Heal with 6 when your bar drops.
- Level up and go deeper. Each tier has its own quest. Finish it, then pick the next tier on the map.
