Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

The tutorial is a helpful introduction for new players to Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup. Featured in both offline and online versions of Crawl, it is a text and gameplay integrated mode designed to teach you the controls and basic gameplay functions. You play as a Human, with fixed rooms, items, and tasks for each lesson. Once you have finished the tutorial, you may go into hints mode for a guided, but complete and randomized experience.

There are 5 tutorial lessons available:

A summation of each tutorial is detailed below, for viewing convenience. Note that commands are case sensitive.

Movement and Exploration

  • You can fire ranged weapons manually with f, or auto-target your quiver with p or Shift-Tab. Throwing weapons can be thrown immediately, while launchers (like bows) need to be wielded first.

Items and Inventory

  • You can wear armour with W; armor gives AC.
  • Autoexplore will automatically pick up useful items, such as potions and scrolls, if you aren't in danger.
  • You can read scrolls with r and drink potions with q.
