Enter with a stop rule, reassess after every meaningful haul or major resource loss, and bank progress before the deeper-loot promise overwhelms the cost of dying.
What is verified
- Dungeon death removes the entire unbanked haul from that expedition.
- The official order is Shallow, Overgrown, then Darkest Dungeon.
- Bosses occur at zone boundaries, with traps and special rooms along the way.
- Version 1.0.2 fixed specifically named blocked-passage and floor-load problems.
Write the exit rule before entering
Choose triggers you can recognize under pressure: health below a limit, healing or escape resources exhausted, inventory value above a personal target, or the next zone exceeding your proven gear. A prewritten rule prevents the most expensive decision from being made in the most emotional room.
Use the dungeon-risk planner to document the rule, but keep it tied to your observations. It does not know hidden enemy numbers or drop rates and should never override immediate danger.
Reassess at every value spike
The correct risk level changes when a rare-looking item, required craft material, or quest target enters the bag. The next room now risks not only current health but also the milestone that item could unlock at home.
Count route confidence separately from combat confidence. A strong build can still lose a haul to an unfamiliar trap, blocked-looking route, or confusing transition, especially during the launch patch window.
Progress biome by biome
Prove the loop in Shallow before treating Overgrown as routine, and prove Overgrown before budgeting for Darkest. Boss boundaries are decision gates: repair the plan, inventory, and exit options before crossing them.
Exact floor counts, boss statistics, and drop tables remain unverified in official sources. The biome pages therefore organize confirmed context, preparation questions, and evidence gaps instead of presenting a fabricated map.
