# Landstalker: The Treasures of King Nole
|
|
|
|
## Where is the options page?
|
|
|
|
The [player options page for this game](../player-options) contains most of the options you need to
|
|
configure and export a config file.
|
|
|
|
## What does randomization do to this game?
|
|
|
|
All items are shuffled while keeping a logic to make every seed completable.
|
|
|
|
Some key items could be obtained in a very different order compared to the vanilla game, leading to very unusual situations.
|
|
|
|
The world is made as open as possible while keeping the original locks behind the same items & triggers as vanilla
|
|
when that makes sense logic-wise. This puts the emphasis on exploration and gameplay by removing all the scenario
|
|
and story-related triggers, giving a wide open world to explore.
|
|
|
|
## What items and locations get shuffled?
|
|
|
|
All items and locations are shuffled. This includes **chests**, items on **ground**, in **shops**, and given by **NPCs**.
|
|
|
|
It's also worth noting that all of these items are shuffled among all worlds, meaning every item can be sent to you
|
|
by other players.
|
|
|
|
## What are the main differences compared to the vanilla game?
|
|
|
|
The **Key** is now a unique item and can open several doors without being consumed, making it a standard progression item.
|
|
All key doors are gone, except three of them :
|
|
- the Mercator castle backdoor (giving access to Greenmaze sector)
|
|
- Thieves Hideout middle door (cutting the level in half)
|
|
- King Nole's Labyrinth door near entrance
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The secondary shop of Mercator requiring to do the traders sidequest in the original game is now unlocked by having
|
|
**Buyer Card** in your inventory.
|
|
|
|
You will need as many **jewels** as specified in the options to use the teleporter to go to Kazalt and the final dungeon.
|
|
If you find and use the **Lithograph**, it will tell you in which world are each one of your jewels.
|
|
|
|
Each seed, there is a random dungeon which is chosen to be the "dark dungeon" where you won't see anything unless you
|
|
have the **Lantern** in your inventory. Unlike vanilla, King Nole's Labyrinth no longer has the few dark rooms the lantern
|
|
was originally intended for.
|
|
|
|
The **Statue of Jypta** is introduced as a real item (instead of just being an intro gimmick) and gives you gold over
|
|
time while you're walking, the same way Healing Boots heal you when you walk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## What do I need to know for my first seed?
|
|
|
|
It's advised you keep Massan as your starting region for your first seed, since taking another starting region might
|
|
be significantly harder, both combat-wise and logic-wise.
|
|
|
|
Having fully open & shuffled teleportation trees is an interesting way to play, but is discouraged for beginners
|
|
as well since it can force you to go in late-game zones with few Life Stocks.
|
|
|
|
Overall, the default options are good for a beginner-friendly seed, and if you don't feel too confident, you can also
|
|
lower the combat difficulty to make it more forgiving.
|
|
|
|
*Have fun on your adventure!*
