Savage Boss Gates Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I find my first dungeon gate?
Dungeon gates spawn naturally across your world at various locations—explore your terrain and look for large glowing dimensional portals. Gates are ranked from E-rank (easiest) to S-rank (hardest), so start with E-rank gates near your spawn to begin progression.
What's the best way to start the campaign?
Enter E-rank dungeons and complete the early campaign tasks in Chapter 1, which guide you through basic combat and exploration trials. These tasks reward your first skill points, which you should invest in Vitality or Ferocity depending on whether you prefer defense or offense.
How do mana crystals work and why should I farm them?
Mana crystals are embedded in dungeon walls and can be extracted by mining them—they convert into runes and materials used to upgrade your equipment and unlock new abilities. Farming crystals is essential for progression, especially if you invest in the Fortune skill to boost your yield.
Can I use shadow soldiers to help me solo bosses?
Yes—defeat bosses and use the Arise skill to raise them as loyal shadows that fight alongside you in future battles. The Dominion skill specifically strengthens your summoned shadows, making them more effective in tough encounters.
What's the difference between regular dungeons and Red Gate challenges?
Red Gates are special high-difficulty dungeons that modify room conditions and battle rules—for example, Blood Moon Forest darkens the sky while The Storm Highway closes in until all enemies die. They're designed as endgame content and reward rare loot for hunters ready for extreme challenges.
Which hunter skill should I prioritize first?
Vitality is safest for beginners since it increases your health pool and survivability, but Ferocity lets you clear dungeons faster if you're confident in your combat skills. Your choice depends on playstyle—experiment with different skills as you earn points through the campaign.
Do the five hunter guilds affect my gameplay?
Hunter guilds claim gates throughout the world and create competing factions, which can influence which gates are available or contested in your world. Check your mod configuration if you want to disable guild claims or adjust how they interact with gate spawning.
How do I adjust boss difficulty or loot drops?
Open the slrdungeons-common.toml configuration file and modify the multipliers for boss health, damage, and item drop rates to suit your preference. The config also contains forty-two game rules to toggle dungeon breaks, guild claims, and skill systems on or off.
What are artifact sets and how do I get them?
Artifact sets are special equipment pieces that grant bonuses directly from your inventory without needing to equip them—they drop from bosses and high-rank dungeons. Collect matching sets to unlock powerful passive effects that stack with your hunter skills.
Are there special locations I should know about?
Yes—the underground Double Dungeon and Jeju Island volcano are unique world locations with exclusive challenges and rewards. These areas typically contain higher-rank gates and rarer boss encounters, so visit them once you've progressed through earlier campaign chapters.
