The Foetor, The Scorch, The Tangle, and The Sluice are all filled with dangers and any given run can be more (or less) punishing depending on what directions players choose when making their way through each area. That sounds simple on the surface, but thanks to Darkest Dungeon 2's punishing world, it's rather easy for players to find themselves restarting from the beginning, especially during the early hours of their journey. It doesn't matter in what order players tackle these zones, so long as they manage to make it through three of them intact. In order to reach the freezing summit, players will need to first make their way through three zones. But players can still get a loose grasp of what to expect when traveling towards The Mountain. It's rare that any two journies will ever be the same, thanks to a cavalcade of skills, ailments, enemy compositions, and zones. Many aspects of Darkest Dungeon 2 are randomly and procedurally generated. But how long does it take players to reach the summit and what's waiting for them when they cross the veil? Here's a look at what it takes to reach the precipice and how to take down the final boss of Darkest Dungeon's Act One. Right now, players have the entire first act to sift through, with multiple characters, a few bosses, a handful of zones, and a final battle culminating at the top of a massive mountain.

This gives players a lot to look forward to concerning the future of the game but it is important to note that, in its current state, things appear to be "episodic" with Darkest Dungeon 2 and developers will look to add new content in an "acts and chapters" style structure. Darkest Dungeon 2, like its predecessor, is being offered to players as an early access title, meaning developers will be listening to community feedback to help shape the iconic sequel to the Indie smash hit.
