Tap a quest to complete it — tap again to undo. Log workouts and meals — and tend your companion — from the Quests tab. Everything you do before 2am counts for that day. At 2am the game scores your day, sets your Grace, applies the boss's attack, and adds Ember.

Runes are your points — the game's currency. Almost everything pays Runes: quests, workouts, meals, boss kills, and opening the app each day. Hitting all four macro targets (set in Settings) pays a bonus at 2am. Your Ember multiplier increases everything you earn — up to 2.4x at Ember 180 — and a happy companion adds a bonus on top. Spend Runes to level up — yourself and your companion. Death takes half your unspent Runes, so spend them.

Your Daily Score comes from your required quests, plus a workout and a meal log if enabled in Settings. The score sets your Grace at 2am: 90+ Blazing · 50+ Burning · 20+ Flickering · below 20 Forsaken. Higher Grace means less boss damage that night, more Ember, and HP restored when you Rest at Grace. Tier 3 and weekly quests pay well in Runes but don't affect your Daily Score — Blazing means a perfect day on your required quests, workout, and meals.

Ember rises each night with your Grace: Blazing +1.5 · Burning +1.0 · Flickering +0.5 · Forsaken +0. Every 10 Ember is a Site of Grace: your Ember can never fall below it again, any active debuff is cleared, and a reward is granted. Ember 70 and 150 permanently add a Flask charge. Ember also drives your Rune multiplier — higher Ember means higher Rune earnings: +0.08x per 10 Ember, capped at 2.4x (Ember 180).

Vigor is your HP. The boss attacks every night at 2am — hardest on Forsaken days, lightest on Blazing. At 0 Vigor you die: half your unspent Runes are lost and your Ember drops to your last Site of Grace. You respawn at full Vigor with Burning Grace. Levels, gear, and collectibles are never lost. Away for a while? Ask the Game Master for Last Rites — nightly judgment pauses until you're back.

A new boss is assigned every Monday. Every Rune you earn deals damage to it — your equipped weapon sets the rate. Kill it by emptying its HP or completing its weekly goal. A kill pays Runes, the boss's signature item, and a loot drop; a first kill also awakens a permanent Echo perk and grants the boss's Remembrance. Each boss also has a rage trigger and a debuff: trigger its rage and it hits much harder; on low-Grace nights it has a chance to apply a temporary debuff to slow you down.

Each morning the realm deals you one Daily Quest, and each Monday one Weekly Trial — bonus challenges beyond your own quest list, judged at 2am. Winning pays big Runes (and sometimes loot); failing costs nothing. The realm never deals a quest you already do routinely — a Trial always asks for a genuine push. A Key of the Realm (rare loot) can be spent on any day to unlock one extra hidden quest — every Key quest pays Runes and guaranteed loot. And on every new-content day, all Runes from your tasks are doubled.

Quests, workouts, boss kills, and milestones can drop loot: Common, Uncommon, Rare, or Legendary. Duplicate gear can be sold for Runes. Arcane skill points and a happy companion raise your drop chances.

You equip one weapon, one shield, and one talisman (Armory, on the Grace tab). Weapon: sets how much boss damage your earned Runes deal — higher rarity, more damage. Fighting with no weapon equipped deals only half a common weapon's damage. Shield: reduces the boss's nightly damage. Talisman: a passive perk. Swap anytime.

The Flask restores 10% of max Vigor per charge — refill it by Resting at Grace. Extra charges unlock permanently at Ember 70 and 150. In an emergency, you can spend Runes for an Emergency Flask Refill — not cheap, but always an option. The Pouch holds consumables: greases (more damage against this week's boss), boluses (clear a debuff), wards (stop one night's Grace drop), and more.

Your companion brings two daily companion quests to the Quests tab — each pays Runes and restores 20 happiness. Happiness fades 20 every night at 2am, so completing both quests keeps them thriving. A happy companion boosts your Rune and loot gains: full perks at 50+ happiness, halved at 25–49, suspended below 25. Level your companion with Runes to grow their gifts — up to +20% Runes and +20% loot at Level 10.

Spend Runes to level up. Every 5 levels you ascend to a new class, from Hollow to Elden God. Each level grants a skill point for your six stats: Vigor +4 max HP · Endurance +1% flask potency · Strength +3% weapon damage · Dexterity +1% all Runes · Faith +0.05 Ember/night · Arcane +3.5% loot chance. A respec costs 100,000 Runes — you get every Skill Point back to reassign however you'd like.

Your Daily Score expects a workout each day (if workouts are enabled in Settings). Log a Rest Day instead and you keep full workout credit — up to your cap of rest days in a row. A real workout resets the count, and days with nothing logged also count toward it. Past the cap, rest days stop giving credit until you log a real workout. The cap defaults to 4 — adjust it in Settings.
