Your appearance is crucial in the game's RPG system. A dirty or poorly dressed Henry will be treated poorly. Wash at basins or bathhouses and use soap to clean your clothes. Repair or buy better clothes to influence how others perceive you; dressing well can make persuasion easier, while armor and bloodstains can intimidate. Use the preset option in your inventory to switch outfits for different situations.

In combat, your stamina depletes quickly. When your screen grays from exhaustion, retreat to recover. Without stamina, you can't block attacks, and taking hits reduces your maximum stamina. Avoid overeating, as it lowers your stamina cap. An opponent who tires slower than Henry will rarely leave openings.
