Common Questions
Is Alundra similar to The Legend of Zelda?
Yes, Alundra is frequently compared to early 2D Zelda games for its top-down action-adventure gameplay, dungeon exploration, puzzle-solving, and acquiring new tools, though it is notably more puzz-centric and has a darker, more mature story.
Can I save the game anywhere?
No. You can only save your progress by finding and sleeping on a bed within dungeons (the red door rooms) or by using the inn in town, which also fully restores your health. There is no save-anywhere feature; the in-game 'sleeping' act is the save point.
Where can I get additional bottles/healing potions?
You can find a bottle in a specific optional dungeon cave. The Witch later sells bottles. Another extra bottle might be in one of the later desert areas. Potions themselves can be purchased at the item shop vendor.
