Ashen Vigil

Your sword can attack on its own; your escape route cannot. Ashen Vigil places a knight in a dark graveyard with a ten-minute survival goal. Automatic skills handle attacks while you move around incoming demons and collect souls to level up.

From the camp into the graveyard

Pilgrim’s Camp is the place to choose a hero before setting out, with the Holy Knight available at the start. Stone floors, torches and a red magic circle define the dark graveyard, while separate health, level and dawn-timer displays help you track the run as you seek room to evade enemies.

The guide lists WASD or arrow-key movement on computers and touch-drag movement on mobile. Weapons fire automatically, shifting attention toward positioning and escape routes. Q uses a health flask and P pauses play.

Bring something back from each run

The tutorial explains that collected silver coins return to camp even after death and can fund permanent upgrades. The camp includes hero selection, permanent powers, special weapons and a collection section, giving future runs a progression goal beyond surviving the current attempt.

The in-game Season 1 announcement introduces a vigil candle, a forge and cursed equipment. Tada Choktanasombat’s announcement also introduces the Plague Warden hero, adding progression goals beyond surviving an individual run.
