Skills Guide:

Acquire all of the skills and upgrades. There are only 3 weapons in the game: Shadow Whip, Void Sword, and Chaos Claws. You need 120,000 experience points to unlock all of the skills. Note that some skills needs to be unlocked in a particular order.

Mastering all weapons guide:

As mentioned above, you have 3 weapons in the game and each of them have a skill tree indicated by circles. Depending on your combat style i.e. which of the weapons you use most,  each of the circles for that respective weapon will be filled red. Once they are completely filled, you can unlock them. Each of them have a mastery level of maximum three. So your best bet to each mastery is to take down each and every enemy that you come across and try farming once they respawn.

Gaining More Experience Points:
