How do I end the game?
A. There are five different ways.
- Death - Very typical ending for IVAN (as the title itself suggests). Simply, get killed by something, like monsters or land mines, but not limited to those...
- Knighthood - Can be achieved by giving Petrus the Shirt of the Golden Eagle.
- Avatar of Chaos - Kill Petrus and take his left nut out of town. Mortifer takes you in personally.
- High Priest - Kill Petrus, become Valpurus's champion and sit on the golden throne wearing the Shirt of the Golden Eagle.

What is the "Ommel Cerumen Trick"?
It is a way to maximize the player's Intelligence and Wisdom with extreme ease. Of course, this is an exploit of a bug regarded as a cheat and will be looked down upon if you have been informed and still tried.
First find a Scroll of Change Material, read it to change something large enough into Ommel Cerumen and eat it. Although you can't make other ommel stuffs or holy banana flesh, it works because DevTeam failed to forbid player to make ommel cerumen. Usable in v0.50.
What is the "Library Exploit"?
It is a simple trick utilising a flaw in the game's shop mechanics involving the use of Attnam's library building, allowing for the cost-free repossession and thus resale of items in order to make a substantial amount of gold with no consequences for the player - provided it is done correctly. It is widely regarded as cheating.
First off, any eligible items for sale in the library (scrolls, books) should be dropped on the door tile of the shop, once the door has been opened. Once all items have been dropped, stand on the tile directly above the open door and 'k'ick the items downward so that they leave the store and sail forth into the snow outside. Once all items are removed from the store, pick them up and sell them again, repeating the process until the Librarian is broke. You can also buy everything in the library and gain your money back, allowing for access to many great items (such as the SoCM) early on in the game. Caution: be careful of when you kick the objects out of the store, as they may collide with the patrol guard who patrols the outer walls - this will turn all of Attnam hostile towards you.
