There is also a satisfaction to finding something that you know not every player is going to see and knowing that you’ve had a unique experience. However, our feeling has always been that, as a player, knowing that such secrets exist in the world gives it a sense of mystery and provides a greater thrill and reward to exploration, even for the player who only finds a small portion of the secrets.

The last two floors of this sprawling five-floor underground encompass the rogue-like dungeon.

The first such dungeon, known as the Steps of Torment, can be accessed in the wilderness of Act II. Unless you have started a hardcore character, you will not die permanently in Grim Dawn but we have tried to capture the thrill of rogue-likes in these special challenge dungeons. Rogue-likes are characterized by random layouts and permanent death that made the experience intense and final victory all the more satisfying. For those not familiar, “rogue-like” games were early predecessors to the modern action-RPG and the name is derived from the 1980’s game Rogue.
