Tips & tricks

  • Although generally unwise to read, it is useful when exploring the Shoals, as the noise it creates can break the mesmerizing abilities of mermaids and sirens.
  • If you utilize shouting in your play style to draw monsters to you (e.g. ambushing, hit & run with stairs, verifying an area is cleared of monsters, etc.), a scroll of noise is not entirely useless to you, as its greater noise will draw monsters from further away. Keep that in mind as you run across them.
