Map & Routes

8 entries

1
Base Safety Loop
Use the base loop to gather nearby food, fuel, and scrap while learning the exits around your campfire.
Start from campfire and sweep only nearby connected rooms.
2
Near-Room Scrap Sweep
Use it when you need bench materials quickly and do not want to risk a deep resource push.
Check adjacent rooms and return before adding too many turns.
3
Wall-Follow Exit Search
Use wall-following when searching new halls so panic does not erase the path back to safety.
Choose one wall direction and reverse it when returning.
4
Lighted Corridor Chain
Use light chains when night is approaching or when your team needs clear callouts for retreat.
Travel from one lighted landmark to the next.
5
Resource Detour
Use a resource detour only when you know what you need and exactly when you will turn back.
Branch from a known route and return after collecting the target.
6
Trial Portal Approach
Use it to carry supplies to a trial entrance, check threats, and back out if the window is bad.
Travel as a group to the trial route with supplies ready.
7
Rescue Return Path
Use it after trials because players often die by celebrating before they have actually returned safely.
Reverse your approach route and avoid new rooms after the rescue.
8
Night Emergency Retreat
Use it when night or an entity catches you away from base, then head toward light and known corridors immediately.
Turn toward known light, call the route, and stop looting.
