Quick start

New to the ruins? Follow these steps before your first expedition.

  1. 1

    Learn how death works

    Anything on your character is lost forever when you die. Stash valuables in camp first — read the getting started guide before you greed for one more chest.

  2. 2

    Study extraction routes

    Knowing exits beats raw DPS. Open the how to extract guide, the Moor map notes, and the Chapel Ruins page so you can leave under pressure.

  3. 3

    Learn what hunts you

    Pack pressure ruins late extracts. Skim the Enemies hub so Fleshkin sprints and Bonekin tunnels do not surprise your leave call.

  4. 4

    Craft a reliable loadout

    Assemble weapons from components at camp. Use weapon crafting and the beginner builds page to stop running naked blades.

  5. 5

    Upgrade camp between runs

    Workbench, forge, and stash upgrades unlock recipes that make the next expedition safer. Follow camp progression and camp upgrades.

  6. 6

    Bring a checklist into co-op

    Use the extraction checklist and party planner so every teammate knows who watches flanks and who calls the extract.
