Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Hints Mode is a softly guided version of Dungeon Crawl to help newcomers play their first couple games. Character selection is limited, consisting of 3 archetypes:
- Hill Orc Berserker (Melee character, with Trog and a hand axe)
- Deep Elf Conjurer (Magic oriented character)
- Minotaur Hunter (Ranged fighter, with a Bow)
Hints mode is rather simplistic; whenever you find an item, monster, or other interesting thing for the first time, the game will give you a few lines of text about it. A few skill related options are also disabled. Notably, the game is generated just like a normal Crawl game; with the same difficulty and all.
Once you reach XL 7, you'll get 1 final hint, then hints mode ends. You'll be left to playing a normal game by yourself, at this point.
