Playing with others

Each Archipelago slot uses its own Caves of Qud character and save; items and checks travel between slots. DeathLink is an optional in-game setting.

Known scope and limitations

Use Archipelago 0.6.7 or newer with the matching v0.8.2 mod ZIP and APWorld. Extract the mod into the game's Mods directory without renaming its folder, install the APWorld, enable the mod and start a new character in Joppa. Roleplay mode is recommended by the maintainer so death need not erase the run.
Only the Joppa start is documented. Traps can harm important NPCs, appear above your power level, or hang/crash the game when a backlog arrives; disabling traps is the cautious choice. Some derived stat increases may be incorrect. An initial connection failure can hang character creation. Exact current game-version compatibility and runtime behavior have not been independently verified.
Keep the client, game and APWorld versions paired; compatibility with other combinations is not established in the reviewed sources.
