Dash

In Infernium walking is not the only way of locomotion. You can also use your dash to reach far places or simply just move by dashing.

Dashing is really easy in Infernium. Hold the Dash button (right mouse) and uour hand will extend. You will see a ray comming from it and a sphere at the end. If you keep holding the sphere will start to grow. After a second the sphere will be fully grown and you will be ready to dash when you release the button.

However, you can't dash everywhere. You can only dash a certain distance and only on plain surfaces. If the surface you want to dash is invalid or is too far away from you the pshere at the end of the dash will turn red instead of orange.

Dash everywhere everytime
Dashing is a key mechanic in Infernium and probably the most important one. If you take a look at the guide you will see you will constantly dash to solve riddles or just navigate the maps, but not only that. You can dash to gain some quick distance between you and the enemies or you can dash to places they can't reach you to run away to safety.

Also, do you see those weird banners with strange leters? Aside from being a key portion of the Lore, you can sometimes dash through them, finding secrets and hidden arenas at the other side! You can also find absurd ammounts of light when doing this but take in mind that in some of the banners there are enemies behind. Take special care on the Waterfall.

On the other hand, take in mind dashing is not a teleport. You actually travel there, not just pop. That means that enemies will see you while dashing and if there is danger between you and your dashing point you won't skip it!

In general try to use the dash as much as you can. It is a really powerfull tool at your disposal that will save you more than once. Infernium has a really vertical level design and the dash is the best tool you have to navigate it.

Tips

 * You can still walk while loading the dash, however you will become slower.
 * You can dash to thin surfaces from below like hanging bridges.
 * While falling you can have the dash loaded and activate it during the first second of falling. You won't take fall damage and doing this will make you get to far places or skip big chunks of the levels.
