Hidden passages

In each location of D&D Dark Alliance, there a lots of hidden boxes, resources, bags of gold as well as story items (tomes, tablets, paintings). While exploring, it is recommended to look around for hidden passages to have a chance to get additional items.

Environmental hazards

All locations that you will visit while playing Dungeons & Dragons Dark Alliance feature additional obstacles in the form of environmental hazards. When your character stands on such an area, you will begin to receive continuous damage.

Finds (Story items)

While playing, you will come across various finds - stone tablets, tomes, reliefs and paintings. These items develop the plot of D&D Dark Alliance and allow players to explore the history of Icewind Dale and Forgotten Realms.

Short rest

After completing certain stages of a mission, you will be able to use the campsite to regenerate the life points, stamina and all consumable items or to increase the quality of the found loot. Each short rest reduces the loot buff level by 1 point.

Shrines

While completing a mission in D&D Dark Alliance, it is worth looking for characteristic shrines that will give the character additional attribute points. The shrine can sometimes be surrounded by a force field and you will need to solve a simple puzzle to neutralize the obstacle. Other times, after using the shrine, you may be attacked by a group of enemies.
