Hints & Solutions

Welcome to the old-fashioned instruction manual.

Please only read it if you're hardstuck because it spoils the experience.

Note that these are not the only possible recipes.

General

You can pick up the knife and scissors, but don't overuse them.

Multiplying the proportions while keeping the ratio will spawn the same monster but with a higher level.

Adding extra ingredients may still summon the desired monster but with a higher level.

All necessary recipes are in the book.
