As you progress and level up, the monsters encountered will be more dangerous.

For those just starting out and getting the feel of the game, you might consider a Warrior that can wear plate armor for survivability. Characters that can wear plate armor, any of which can be found with enchanted properties, potentially have seven additional magical enhancements over non-plate-wearing characters. With low-level characters, the Warrior class that can wear plate armor has a significant advantage. It's advisable not to proceed forward until you are completely recovered and then save the game once you have. If you rest on the floor, you may be subjected to attack from a random monster. You will never have random encounters if you rest on any raised surface, no matter how little it is raised, which means you can rest as long as you need without being disturbed.

Always find a raised area to rest on until you have fully recovered.

Keep the sound up since monsters usually make a standard sound particular to their type either before attacking or when they come into range (a kind of leitmotif). Always look around you and never assume the creature you just killed is alone.

Attacks will often be ambushes from behind.

Every time you explore a little further, note where there are resting areas.

Rule 4: Rest and recover on a raised platform, save the game.

Rule 2: Before you open a door, save the game.

Save Often! There was no auto save nor quick save option nor any other event driven save back in the days of DOS.

Methodical and careful saving of your games is a must! General Hints However, exploiting the map generation will eventually and inevitably lead to memory issues. When it was released in 1994, Arena was designed to run on very low-end computers with default DOS settings. Like most other Elder Scrolls games you may also continue playing after you finish the Main Quest. Like the later Elder Scrolls games, you can advance a character significantly before even starting the main quest. Essentially, this means your progress and the building up of your character is unlimited. Only the main quest line has fixed, pre-mapped dungeons the rest are generated by the game as you enter the dungeon level.

Because of that, you can either follow the line and do the randomly-generated quests from talking to people, or just strike out on your own, walking the wilderness and letting the game randomly create dungeons to explore. The number of dungeons to be raided is unlimited, as the game will continuously generate new dungeons and land to explore.
