Something worth mentioning is that if you waste any ability in the waiting room before the game starts, it doesn't recharge after... Learned it the hard way. So yeah, don't try usign Second Wind or Spells there.
bro just straight chillin making his way through the dungeon no problem but when i played i just hear people scampering around the map like rats and just waiting for my imminent demise
If you haven’t played in the newer season it’s alot easier to play in the normal dungeons with the new gear score system as long as it’s under 25 gear score you’ll face players similar to level and gear as you. Always keep an eye out for open doors as well, keep exits in mind and don’t be afraid to lose your gear!
@@johnmedeiros9378 the gear score thing really isn't working as intended though, i keep getting in lobbies full of higher level players wearing shit armor just to kill new players and get a whole dungeon's worth of loot as easily as possible.
@@spaceghostmiid i hear you, as someone whos been playing since early access all I can say is it’s better than it was before for sure, definitely a skill gap issue hopefully they’ll be able to address that through further matchmaking updates or maybe bring back the under 15 level lobbies

Great video, I tried playing Dark and Darker 1 time a few months back, I died by a skeleton then I alt f4'd and never touched the game again lmao. I came back to try it again and this video helped me.
I died so many times because I did not understand this game. But this video helped me a lot to be more careful and understand the gameplay :) Amazing video!!!
Just downloaded it free to play in Epic games, got in and took a Warlock, then I proceed to get wrecked by the first npc I found for 3 matches, rage quit, here look for the tutorial lmao.
Decided to play for the first time today. Loaded up into a dungeon and got wrecked immediately by a skeleton. Next dungeon, accidently aggro'd 3 skeletons. Next game, got stuck behind some boards and swung at them not realizing you had to hit them multiple times to break them. Spent way too long looking for a way to open them. Yeah I'm doing great. Lots to learn. lol
This video helped so much man. I thought you could only leave with portals but I see theres a rope. This really helped me understand the game a lot man, thanks!
never heard of this game until like 30 mins ago - and im hooked just installed and about to play. It looks like D2 first person and im fricken here for it.
I haven't played since the circle and portals and I just downloaded this on steam and DIED FROM THE EARTHQUAKE and was confused wtf where are the portals and the circle why am i just dying....... your vid basically helped me understand these are gone and there's different ways now.
dude this video was such a massive help to me no joke, i didn't follow it exactly but the part about changing the starting kit was huge and let me get my first successful extract by bringing a longsword and a book as a warlock, turns out having weapons i'm more comfortable with makes the game a bit easier lmao
First time playing tonight. Literally my first chest opening was a mimic, I didn’t even know how to draw my sword yet 😢 good indicator of my luck in video games lol
tried playing this game with a homie for an hour last night and it was miserable. Watching this video it doesnt look so bad. Gonna give it another shot. Thanks dude
just got the game to play free today, thank you so much for the hints ! im still getting smacked from goblins and ice skeletons, i guess that taking to much plate is making me slow till a point that i cannot dodge anymore
Thank you this helped a lot I will use your tips tomorrow and I didn’t know that there were maps for different team sizes I was just playing a trio one as a solo
Good content, very helpful for newer players like me. Definitely helped me get out of many raids. Is a rogue guide planned any soon ? Keep up the good content love to see straight to the point guides like this, good music too 👏
@@dcoiyt Any tips for grouping up? We are struggling because we have to find multiple exits for all 3 of us and thus it's harder and less fun than soloing
This game is fated. The fact that it's back on steam is huge. I'm super curious about the full story. I do wish there was some better option between high roller and normals, but normals are still so fun, and I made friends already on the first day. If they work out a new mode that you can bring some loot Ill forsure purchase it.
Hey man, thanks for this guide! I have just one question though, at 14:24 you say something about selling green items because you can't take them in normals? What exactly do you mean by that? Is it because your gear level is too high for normals if you take them?
No, it's because you used to not be able to bring any gear into normals besides white. They changed this like 2 days after my video lol. So disregard that part.
Great video man this really helps a lot in fact, but I got a question is it possible if you can do a video about high roller and working your way up to high roller? maybe that would be a cool video Idea
Just started playing today (full version, not f2p) and GODDAMN, the shield block is atrociously slow... it genuinely takes at least 5x as long as it would IRL. And the one-handed sword attack animations feel flimsy and limp-wristed as hell. Still fun (even tho out of 5 tries i survived exactly only once xD) tho, even if imo the animations could need a hefty rework to make them actually realistic...
Are the blue parts the exits? I'm a new player and have no idea what I'm doing, I wasted 2 hours playing to only level up I guess, I start with basically no armor and a weapon that takes like 10 hits to kill a mob
Blue icons on the map are exits, if its a staircase it will light up blue as well. All exits are on some type of timer and typically dont open until just past half way through the match timer
Good question. It used to be that you were only able to bring in white/gray gear in ALL normal lobbies. When the game went free to play people made negative reviews about this so they changed it so you can bring in pretty much anything into normals.
@@dcoiyt but it seemed available and the clock still had 2-3 minutes, are fake extraction points a thing in this game? or did the stairs collapse because someone already used them? if so, is there any way to tell that someone already used them? i have so many questions. ima check if you have video about these lol
@@yay0land88 Ask all the questions bro, no problem. No fake extractions, some maps have stairs that glow blue when they open and the light turns off when its taken, some maps have no light but rocks will fall and be at the end of the tunnel if its taken.
incredible guide! small improvement suggestion: the music is a tad loud. im here for your guide, not to listen to music. english is not my native tongue, so dimming down the music a bit makes the info more accessible. cheers!
Did i just make the worst mistake ever and picked qizard..? I feel like the fact that i need like 4 fireballs to kill a mob and that i need to sit and recharge for the spells to come back up is pretty brutal...
Wizard is one of my favorites, but its one of the worst first classes to learn on. Youll only want to use a melee weapon or magic missile to kill mobs for the most part. Meditate is a nice ability to use since you wont have to sit as much
@@AlunethMaster yeah you need to kite and stay out of melee range as much as possible. Use fireball when they are medium/far and when they get closer use slow and zap. Slow is VERY good
@@dcoiyt idk, 2.5 seconds baseline sounds like its bad... im playing fireball missiles, haste, invi, and 1 spell im trying all but zap, or arrow so far are my fav i don't have trouble now with mobs, but w/e i feel lik,e im doing good, finishing 5-6 rounds without dying and escaping and selling stuff, next round i get a player that just runs at me swinging tank a fireball and 2hit me with a sword .. man that is depressing..
It does sound like I said "under wipe", I actually said end of wipe. It was basically the last day of the "season" when I recorded this, so doing quests was pointless at that time.
I just started the game, and when I go to the Squire he has nothing for me at all. And all of my skills are locked. So this guide seems to not actually be starting from the beginning.
No hate just giving some tips. As someone not super experienced but knows a little bit. For a beginners guide you should explain more on how to dodge mob attacks, how many times u can hit them before u need to run, etc. like for goblin 2 swings move back. Not to mention, u said move back a few times but never actually showed how to move back, in this game u want to look right and hold d or vice versa. But new people wouldn’t know that, hold s, and later learn they’ve been wrong. An editing tip, when explaining the timer for the rounds highlight or put a circle around the bottom right of the timer otherwise most people won’t see, trust me, and with how vague you are I would definitely suggest outlining more things.
Great guide, but your music is a little loud at some point in this video, such as around the 7:00 mark. Otherwise very informative and helped me a bunch.
Dark and Darker discord, check announcements channel. There will be a lot to go through, but it might help. Watch warlock streamers and ask questions too, Smolk0 is very good
1. Base gear is protected if you end up dying? and like what if you put gear that you found on the dungeon on the base gear or you can't even put them as base gear? 2. Do you need to find two ropes for duo game?
Ropes only give 1 person an exit, so youll need to find another one for a duo. There are some elevators/rafts/and triple portals that allow a group to escape. You'll always spawn with base gear, use the squire merchant to set that up.
@@Smallp0at0 the base gear that you spawn with can get more options as you complete quests, but you wont spawn with higher grade gear. You'll need to equip it prior to loading in
idk i personally would not recoment ranger as a starting class, purely because i think learning the melee combat as fast as possible will be the best path to having fun in this game. i have a friend who only plays ranger and he literally has no idea how melee combat works... its frustrating to say the least
Something worth mentioning is that if you waste any ability in the waiting room before the game starts, it doesn't recharge after... Learned it the hard way. So yeah, don't try usign Second Wind or Spells there.
Very good point. I think most of us had to learn that the hard way too.
Nice! Now I won’t have to learn it the hard way!
It’s like all the people who figured out what plants are poisonous IRL. Shout out them.
OMG no wonder i thought my fighter sucked XD
I think it goes for any consumables and ammo as well.
I was so mad lol
