Soulslike games are renowned for their intense gameplay and rich storylines, andDolmenis no exception.The game takes place in an alien galaxy, and players encounter bizarre creatures as the game proceeds.
When initially entering this gloomy and ominous world, there is a lot to take in. Let’s briefly go over a few key points players should be aware of as they go on their trek through the perilous planet of Revian Prime
RELATED:The Best Things About Dolmen (& The Worst)
Craft a Stronger Armor
The starting armor isn’t strong enough to protect against enemies as the game proceeds. Therefore, players must get defensive armor as early as possibleto keep up with challenging enemies. To do so, players will need to head back to the ship, where they can craft armor, weapons and level up their stats.
Be Mindful of the Slow Stamina Recovery
InDolmen, stamina recovery is a rather slow process. Once players have depleted their stamina, it may take several minutes to refill. Usually, heavy weapons briskly drain stamina. Players need to pay close attention to their health bar so that they know when to cease fire and wait for it to replenish.
Heal Carefully
Unlike most Soulslike games,Dolmenuses an energy meter to indicate ammunition and healing. For instance, using the Sharpshooter rifle’s default shot will deplete the energy meter. Every consumed drop will eventually refill, though.
Healing is no different. Potions can be used to restore the energy meter, but consuming them takes time, leaving players exposed. Therefore, make sure to keep a safe distance from enemies before using one and carefullychoose the right moment to healbetween their attacks.
Respawn Bosses for Finer Weapons
Dolmenfragments are crystals that can be used to swiftly gather nanites and farm for boss weapon ingredients by respawning challenging bosses. Each boss drops three special materials that can be used to construct a special weapon. Furthermore, completing these boss fights also rewards players with nanites, which are essential for leveling up. After collecting the required crafting materials, players can craft weapons and use them to take down even tougher enemies.
Frequently Spend Nanites to Level Up
Players should use their experience points as frequently as possible to level up inDolmen. When players die, the nanites they possess are temporarily lost and can only be recovered by retrieving the body from the death location. However, failing to recover the body and dying again will result in permanent loss of the nanites.
Dolmenwas released on July 29, 2025, and is available onPC,PS4,PS5,Xbox One, andXbox Series X.
