Dark and Darker: How to Discover the Barracks Location
To navigate the maze-like structure of Dark and Darker to find the Barracks can be quite challenging as the layout changes every time you play. This guide will assist you in locating this hidden gem within the game.
Locating the Barracks
Upon receiving the quest from the Tavern Master early on in the game, it is advisable to prioritize completing it promptly. Not only will you uncover one of the Old Tombs, but you will also be on track to find the Barracks. Keep in mind that the dungeon layout changes with each playthrough, so keen observation and map referencing are essential to locate the Barracks in Dark and Darker.
When searching for the Barracks within the crypts, be prepared for the possibility that it may not appear at all during a run. If this happens, you may need to restart the run for another chance. The Barracks will spawn in random locations each time, adding to the challenge of finding it. However, there are certain distinctive features that can help identify its presence.
The Barracks typically stand out due to its unique zig-zag shape and tendency to spawn on the outline of the map. Look for the word “SO” inscribed in an up-and-down pattern, as this can be a helpful indicator of the Barracks’ location. Refer to the image below for a visual reference.
Once you locate the Barracks, it is recommended to explore its contents and exit to reap the rewards it offers. Keep in mind that entering the Barracks is essential for completing the Missing Map quest given by the Tavern Master. Be prepared to potentially encounter the Skeleton Champion if the Barracks spawn, and consider utilizing a strong Druid build to aid you in Dark and Darker.
