Dark and Darker gives players a thrilling adventurous experience of going through the dark dungeons and fighting challenging bosses and minor AI enemies. Now, if you think these AI enemies are the only something you need to be careful of, you’re mistaken. Other players have the same intention as the AI enemies, to kill you, and if you die, you’ll lose everything you collected. So, to survive and return safely is the only way to get the items you collected, and that’s why you need to know how to Extract in Dark and Darker.
How does the Extract Mechanism work in Dark and Darker? Explained
In the playtest mode, Dark and Darker give players a thrilling and challenging gameplay experience, and the thing becomes more challenging if you are a solo player. As you enter the Dungeon, not only the AI monsters are your enemies, but the other players are also your enemies. Players must survive in these adverse conditions, where the game shows no mercy.
Like other games, this game also has chests containing various items and equipment to collect. Also, players can loot the bodies of the dead players to get some valuable items. But if you can’t safely extract them, you’ll lose everything. So, before you jump into the game, ensure you know how to extract all the valuables you have gathered during your journey.
The extraction process is different and complicated in Dark and Darker. If you want to extract, you have to look for the Extraction Portals (as shown in the image). These portals are not in the game from the beginning; instead, they spawn a little later after the game begins. Also, they spawn randomly at a place, so there’s no fixed location to get them.
Another thing to note here is that these portals don’t open automatically. Players need to interact with the Escape Portal stones to open the blue portal. Initially, you’ll probably get the blue escape portal stone you need to interact with by pressing the ‘F’ button (default). Once the portal opens, you can escape safely with all your items. However, make sure there’s no enemy nearby. The portal takes some time to be opened, so if you have enemies nearby, it’ll be highly risky for players to stand still in a position and open the portal. Also, remember, one portal can be used by a single player at a time.
That’s all you need to know about how to extract safely in Dark and Darker. Before concluding, let me remind you there are also red portals to take you deeper into the game. So, be aware and check the portal stone before you open the portal. The game is still in the playtest mode, and we are not sure when the game will officially come, but this game will surely give players some challenging experiences.
