Basics
How a run works, the controls, and what happens when you die.
- Your first runThe loop at the heart of VAEL: leave the Sanctuary, descend, loot, and get out alive.
- ControlsEvery key and gamepad button, plus the advanced moves: riposte, roll attack and more.
- Death and extractionThe ways out of each depth, how long you must hold them, insurance, and what dying costs.
- Co-opPlaying with up to three friends: lobbies, loot rules, graves, targeting and friendly fire.
The world
The four depths below the Cursed Forest, and the Sanctuary above them.
- The Cursed ForestDepth I: hills, a winding violet river, a dark lake, campfires, the Broodmother's lair and sometimes a dragon's nest.
- The Hollow RuinsDepth II: roofless courts on the cliffs, a river of blood, stone bridges and the Blood Mere.
- The Forgotten CryptDepth III: torchlit halls of spike plates, dart passages and pendulum blades, where corruption begins.
- The Catacombs of VaelDepth IV: the deepest tier, a bottomless chasm, the Reliquary and the Bone Warden.
- The SanctuaryHome: a walled keep above the forest with traders, your stash, games, a trophy wall and the training yard.
