RAIDBORN Guides
Everything you need to master RAIDBORN, from your first dungeon to endgame boss strategies.
📖Beginner's Guide
Getting Started
RAIDBORN is a first-person fantasy action RPG with procedurally generated dungeons. You start in Everband City, the central hub where you'll find four shops, quest NPCs, and your outpost. Between dungeon runs, you'll return here to upgrade gear, restock supplies, and manage your crew.
Your First Dungeon
- 1. Buy torches from General Goods — you need them for dark rooms with hidden levers and buttons on bookshelves
- 2. Buy lockpicks — many treasure chests are locked
- 3. Start with the Knight skill tree for balanced combat
- 4. Learn to parry (right-click) — it's basically free and your most important defensive skill
- 5. Use kick to deplete enemy stamina bars, then attack while they're stunned
- 6. Build combo by hitting enemies — 10 hits = 1 combo bar for power attacks
Essential Tips
- • Inventory has unlimited space — loot everything
- • Health/Stamina potions heal 40% but you can die while drinking — use them proactively, not when nearly dead
- • Essences regenerate over 30 seconds but can't stack with potions — use before big fights
- • Torches go out over time and putting them away does NOT reset the timer — carry extras (keep ~20)
- • Look for Knowledge Tomes — they grant Learning Points for the Misc skill section (can't use regular skill points)
- • Knowledge Tomes cost 1,500 Gold from potion merchants — always check their stock
- • Save Mystery Cubes — collect 25 before opening for the Riddler achievement
- • Keep your tutorial wooden sword — needed for the David vs Goliat achievement
- • Treasure items (gem icon) can be bulk-sold with the "Sell all treasure" button at shopkeepers
- • Shops update their stock as you level up — revisit regularly
- • Green numbers = better stats than your gear; Red = worse when buying
- • Quest items (diamond icon) cannot be sold and linger in inventory even after turning in quests
⚔️ Combat System Explained
Combo System
Combo Points: 10 hits = 1 combo barPower Attack: 1 combo bar for power attack (hold left-click, chargeable in 1.0)Rage Mode: 3 combo bars for rage modeCombo Loss: Enemies hitting you removes up to 2 combo pointsBenefit: Higher combo = faster swing speed (capped)
Enemy Stamina System
How it works: Green bar above enemy health. Depleting it stuns them for free hits. Kicking does minimal health damage but reduces stamina significantly — use kicks for trap kills.
Parrying
How it works: Right-click timed parry denies damage (minimal stamina cost — basically free). Works without shield. Two-handed users can still defend themselves effectively.
Shield Blocking
How it works: Shields always block projectiles (changed in 1.0 — no longer requires a skill). Reduces stamina regeneration while blocking. One-handed + shield for defensive builds.
Stealth Attacks
How it works: Crouch + sneak behind = free stealth critical hit. Bow headshot + stealth crit = massive damage. Rogue tree enhances stealth damage and movement speed.
💡 Combat Tips from the Community
- • Parry > Block — parrying costs minimal stamina and denies all damage
- • Kick to stun — kicks barely damage health but devastate enemy stamina, great for trap kills
- • Stealth headshots — crouch + sneak behind + headshot = massive damage
- • Combo management — don't let enemies hit you, they remove up to 2 combo points per hit
- • Power attacks are chargeable in 1.0 — hold left-click and cost stamina, not energy
- • Rage Mode — save 3 combo bars for tough fights; dramatically increases attack speed
- • Possession Meter — keep Potions of Purity for Mind Bane dungeons and certain encounters
- • Burning & Poison — new in 1.0! Fire arrows and venom arrows apply status effects to enemies
- • Iron Hide trait — some enemies are invulnerable to non-armor-piercing damage (not just projectiles anymore)
🏠 Outpost Room Priorities
Your outpost is your home base between dungeon runs. Building the right rooms early makes a huge difference. Developer tip: Don't just build Quarters at the start!Rooms that wouldn't make sense early are locked behind skills/level requirements anyway.
Workshop
#1Unlocks crafting. Essential for gear progression — craft weapons, armor, and tools at your workbench.
Dev RecommendedForge
#2Weapon and armor crafting. Pairs with Workshop for full smithing capability.
Alchemy Lab
#3Potion crafting and alchemist income stream. Dev-recommended as most important early room.
Dev RecommendedGarden
#4Ingredient supply for alchemy. Pairs with Alchemy Lab for self-sufficient potion production.
Dev RecommendedBedroom
#5Healing between dungeon runs. Saves gold on health potions — solid early choice.
Chapel
#6Disease and curse removal. Saves gold on Potions of Purity — very useful mid-game.
💡 Dev's Picks: Workshop + Forge + Alchemy Lab + Garden fully unlocks crafting and provides a sustainable potion income. Bedroom and Chapel are also very solid choices for healing and curse removal.
⚠️ Dungeon Banes
Dungeons can have Bane modifiers that add special challenges. Each bane requires different strategies and preparation. All 9 banes must be cleared at least once for achievements.
Haste Bane
8-minute time limit. Speed is key — skip optional rooms and rush the boss.
Mind Bane
Possession every second. Bring MANY Potions of Purity — you'll need them constantly.
Fatigue Bane
Stamina = life. When stamina drops to zero, you take damage.
Pestilence Bane
Max stamina reduced every second. Use Potion of Vitality to remove the effect.
Greed Bane

Shadow Bane
Total darkness. Bring many torches or use the Wizard's Light spell.
Blood Bane
Damage is your ONLY healing source. Be aggressive — passive play kills you.
Wealth Bane

⭐ Is RAIDBORN Worth It? Honest Assessment
✅ Strengths
- • Visceral combat — parry, kick, combo, power attacks feel impactful
- • Excellent atmosphere — lighting, sound design, and ambiance are top-rate
- • Kick into traps — kicking enemies into spikes/abysses is uniquely satisfying
- • Open skill system — mix and match skill trees freely
- • QoL features — sell-all button, chest crafting, pin items, quickslot bar
- • Runs great — solid performance on Desktop & Steam Deck
- • Solo dev — Markus is responsive, quick hotfixes, listens to feedback
- • Great music — immersive and atmospheric
- • Hidden secrets — 11+ hidden spots in Everband City reward exploration
❌ Weaknesses
- • Limited variety — only 2 dungeon biomes, finite enemy types
- • Kick is overpowered — can stun-lock most enemies, trivializing combat
- • Floaty movement — some describe it as "rollerblading" or weightless
- • Story is thin — fetch quest loop, anticlimactic ending, AI-voiced NPCs
- • No health regen — stamina regen slow without potions
- • DLC controversy — Day-1 magic DLC upset many players
- • Bane mechanic — some Banes feel frustrating rather than fun
- • Shallow skill system — mostly number boosts, not transformative abilities
- • Single armor piece — no paper doll, no gear slots variety
🎯 Who Will Love RAIDBORN?
- • Players who want Skyrim dungeon-crawling distilled to its pure essence
- • Fans of visceral melee combat with satisfying kick/parry mechanics
- • Those who enjoy podcast-friendly dungeon runs (low cognitive load)
- • Players who appreciate solo developer passion and responsiveness
- • Fans of exploration and hidden secrets
⚠️ Who Might Be Disappointed?
- • Players wanting deep story or rich NPCs — the story is thin
- • Those expecting Dark and Darker depth — RAIDBORN is simpler
- • Players who need extensive build variety — skill system is more numbers than playstyle
- • Those wanting magic in the base game — it's paid DLC
- • Players sensitive to repetitive dungeon layouts
💰 Value tip: Many players recommend buying at 25% off ($18.74) for the best value. The game is developed by a solo developer over 7+ years — consider supporting indie development at full price if you enjoy dungeon crawlers.
🐛 Known Issues & Bugs
🚨 Save Corruption (1.0 Launch)
- • Symptom: Loading screen reaches 100% and never disappears. "Load Game" button does nothing.
- • What NOT to do: Uninstalling and reinstalling does NOT fix it.
- • Workaround: Navigate to save file location, back up your save, try loading a previous save.
- • Report: The developer (Markus) is very responsive — report on Discord or Steam Forums.
⚠️ Pestilence Bane Persistence Bug
- • Symptom: Stamina drain persists after exiting a Pestilence Bane dungeon.
- • Workaround: Use a Potion of Vitality BEFORE leaving the dungeon to clear the effect.
- • Impact: Your character will constantly wheeze with permanently reduced stamina until cured.
📋 Other Known Issues
- • Floating/stuck enemy projectiles (partially fixed in 1.0)
- • Loot menu allows scrolling arrow types (fixed in 1.0)
- • Coin pouch giving too much gold (fixed in 1.0)
- • Equipment drops not respecting player level (fixed in 1.0)
- • Some objects with missing texture/material (being fixed)
- • Enemy navigation jitter (improved in 1.0, may still occur)
💚 Good news: The developer is known for fast hotfixes. Multiple players report Markus responding to bug reports within hours and pushing fixes the same day. Report bugs on the official Discord for fastest response.
⚠️ Dungeon Bane Survival Guide
Banes add challenge modifiers to dungeons. Some players find them frustrating, but with the right preparation they're manageable. All 9 must be cleared once for the Bane Master achievement.
Haste Bane
8-minute time limit. Speed is key — skip optional rooms and rush the boss.
💡 Tip: Ignore side rooms, sprint to the boss. Use Stamina Essences.
Mind Bane
Possession every second. Bring MANY Potions of Purity — you'll need them constantly.
💡 Tip: Stock 10+ Potions of Purity. Watch possession meter closely. Consider Defender's Bulwark for status protection.
Fatigue Bane
Stamina = life. When stamina drops to zero, you take damage.
💡 Tip: Don't sprint unnecessarily. Use Stamina Essences before fights. Knight's Battle Focus helps tremendously.
Pestilence Bane
Max stamina reduced every second. Use Potion of Vitality to remove the effect.
💡 Tip: Bring Potion of Vitality — it's the ONLY cure. Without it, your stamina will permanently shrink. ⚠️ Known bug: effect may persist after leaving dungeon — use Potion of Vitality before exiting!
Greed Bane
Constant HP drain — only looting heals you. Pick up everything to survive.
💡 Tip: Loot EVERY chest and corpse. Don't skip any rooms. Loot heals you — combat doesn't.
Shadow Bane
Total darkness. Bring many torches or use the Wizard's Light spell.
💡 Tip: Bring 20+ torches. If you have Spellcraft & Wizardry DLC, the Light spell makes this trivial.
Blood Bane
Damage is your ONLY healing source. Be aggressive — passive play kills you.
💡 Tip: Play ultra-aggressive. Barbarian Blood Rage is excellent here. Defender's Bulwark is risky — you need to deal damage to survive.
Wealth Bane
Getting hit costs Gold. Gold = HP. Manage your gold carefully.
💡 Tip: Avoid damage at all costs — every hit costs gold AND HP. Parry everything. Don't buy from shops inside the dungeon.
Carnage Bane
Increased damage for ALL — enemies and you. Fast fights, high stakes.
💡 Tip: Rush enemies down before they can hit you. Glass cannon builds work well. One mistake = death.
⚠️ Community feedback: Multiple players have requested an option to turn Banes off without affecting difficulty. If you find Banes unfun, you can avoid Bane-tagged dungeons. The possession mechanic (Mind Bane) is the most commonly criticized — keep Potions of Purity stocked.
