How to Survive New Dungeon Enemies and Guards

Clearing Exterior Monsters

Threats begin before you step through a dungeon doorway. While crossing grassy fields, watch out for small black dragons roaming near scattered custom blocks. When approaching a massive stone castle or snowy fortress, scan the upper battlements and stone roofs first—small spider creatures gather along the exterior and can ambush players climbing or entering below. Clear rooftop and perimeter enemies from a safe distance before heading indoors.

Fighting Inside Dark Chambers

Inside the dungeons, skeletal guards and other custom monsters protect the treasure rooms. Low light and hidden hazards make reckless melee charges dangerous.

1. Use stone pillars for cover: Fight around the large stone pillars in dark chambers to break line of sight and keep groups of enemies from surrounding you.

2. Pull guards into safe halls: Lure skeletal guards backward into corridors you have already lit and checked. Fighting in unexplored rooms risks stepping onto trap blocks mid-combat.

3. Use dungeon gear upgrades: Equip the mod's standard weapons, protective equipment, and any Relic Weapons you uncover to turn special combat abilities against tougher inner-room guardians.
