{% endhint %}

## 5-minute setup

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### 1) Prepare a wallet

You need a Web3 wallet. MetaMask is the simplest option.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="I need MetaMask" %}

1. Install [MetaMask](https://metamask.io/).
2. Create or import a wallet.
3. Back up your seed phrase offline.
   {% endtab %}

{% tab title="I already have a wallet" %}
Unlock it and make sure it supports custom networks.

WalletConnect-compatible wallets usually work too.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 2) Add the Somnia network

Use the official network details from [somnia network](https://insomnus-1.gitbook.io/insomnus-docs/web3-economy/somnia-network).

<details>

<summary><strong>Quick add (MetaMask)</strong></summary>

* **Network Name**: Somnia
* **RPC URL**: `https://rpc.somnia.network`
* **Currency Symbol**: SOMI
* **Block Explorer**: `https://browser.somnia.network`

If a field like **Chain ID** is required, use the value in the Somnia docs.

</details>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 3) Open the game and connect

1. Go to <https://insomnus.xyz/>
2. Click **Connect Wallet**.
3. Approve in your wallet.
   {% endstep %}
   {% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Never share your seed phrase. Insomnus will never ask for it.
{% endhint %}

## First run basics

### Controls (the only ones that matter)

* **Move**: WASD / Arrow keys
* **Health Potion**: click the Health potion button
* **Armor Potion**: click the Armor potion button

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="/files/dQTPhLE179IU7QE8zV1b" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

{% hint style="success" %}
Insomnus is auto-combat.

You win with movement and positioning.
{% endhint %}

### Your first 60 seconds

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Spawn and scan

Stay central. Avoid corners.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Pull enemies into your range

Move close enough to trigger auto-attacks.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Keep a clean path

Circle-strafe. Leave an exit route.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Collect XP and level up

Grab the orbs. Take an upgrade immediately.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

<details>

<summary><strong>What should I upgrade first?</strong></summary>

For your first runs:

* Damage first (fewer enemies alive = less pressure).
* Then survivability (HP/armor/dodge).
* Then utility (move speed, pickup range).

</details>
