Dungeon Field Guide
Your first session
- Choose solo or co-op before investing in a hero. Online and offline characters are separate; keep the account and mode you intend to use.
- Follow the main quest through the interconnected regions. Explore optional caves and ruins when you can handle the enemies, and use discovered fast-travel hubs to return.
- Keep a ranged option even if you prefer melee. Check the equipment screen for helmet, chestplate, leggings and boots rather than expecting the single armor item from the first game.
- Collect enchantment books as you explore. These build a personal library for the Enchantsmith; the loot roll on a weapon is no longer your only route to its enchantments.
Separate the jobs in your loadout
Scroll the comparison sideways to see every column.
| Part | What to check |
|---|---|
| Weapons | A melee approach you enjoy, plus a ranged option for space. |
| Four armor pieces | Check each slot separately when replacing gear. |
| Artifacts | Three active abilities you can actually use in combat. |
| Talismans | Three passive effects that fit the rest of your setup. |
Choose a next step
Use the equipment catalogue to find names and slot types, then record a setup in the loadout planner. For permanent improvements, follow the enchantment workflow. If you are joining friends, use the crossplay guide before starting a separate offline hero.
