The brutal world of Dark and Darker rewards only the most cunning and persistent adventurers. Each dungeon run is a battle for survival, and for those willing to face the horrors that lurk below, great riches and legendary treasures await. One of the most challenging and rewarding early tasks in the game is the Inferno Obstructors Quest, a test of skill, coordination, and patience. Completing this quest grants players valuable Dark and Darker Items and a generous amount of Dark and Darker Gold, helping you power up your character for tougher challenges ahead.

 

If you're ready to brave the Crypts and face one of the deadliest enemies in the game, here's everything you need to know about completing the Inferno Obstructors quest.

 

Quest Overview

 

Objective: Kill Demon Berserker in the Crypt Dungeon three times (must escape in the same session)

 

Difficulty: High

 

Quest Type: Combat / Survival

 

This quest is offered by one of the mid-tier quest-givers in Dark and Darker, typically after you've proven yourself capable of surviving the lower-level dungeons. It's a true test of endurance: not only must you defeat three Demon Berserkers, but you also have to escape alive in the same session for the quest to count. If you die before extracting, the kills are lost, and you'll have to start over.

 

Understanding the Challenge

 

The Demon Berserker is no ordinary foe. Found deep within the Crypt dungeon, this towering monstrosity wields immense power and can tear through unprepared adventurers in seconds. He's known for his aggressive playstyle, devastating melee attacks, and relentless pursuit once aggroed.

 

Each encounter with the Demon Berserker can quickly spiral into chaos if you're not careful. To complete this quest, you'll need to kill three of these beasts within a single run, meaning resource management, awareness, and efficient combat are absolutely essential.

 

The kicker? You must escape successfully afterward, surviving until extraction is the only way the quest will register as complete. Failing to reach the exit negates all progress made during the session.

 

Preparation: Gear and Party Composition

 

Success in this quest begins long before you enter the Crypt. Preparation is everything in Dark and Darker, and your choice of Dark and Darker Items, weapons, and allies can make or break your run.

 

Recommended Gear

 

High-Quality Weapons: Bring your best loadout, preferably Epic-tier or higher gear. The Demon Berserker's thick armor and high HP pool make weak weapons ineffective.

 

Potions and Bandages: Healing is vital. Stock up on potions or spells that can restore health between fights.

 

Light Source: The Crypt dungeon is dimly lit, so carry torches or lanterns to spot traps and enemies.

 

Protection Charms: If you have resistance-boosting accessories among your Dark and Darker Items, equip them, the Berserker's attacks can cause bleeding or debuffs that quickly drain your HP.

 

Ideal Party Setup

 

While solo players have completed this quest, it's far easier (and safer) with a group. A balanced party of three typically works best:

 

Fighter or Barbarian: Acts as the tank, drawing aggro and absorbing heavy hits.

 

Rogue or Ranger: Provides mobility, crowd control, and ranged support.

 

Cleric or Wizard: Essential for healing, buffs, and magical damage to counter armored enemies.

 

Communication and coordination are key. The Demon Berserker punishes disorganized teams, so make sure everyone knows their role before engaging.

 

Locating the Demon Berserker

 

The Demon Berserker spawns in specific areas within the Crypt dungeon, usually near large open chambers or ritual rooms. His loud, guttural roars can often be heard before you see him, serving as both a warning and a lure.

 

When exploring, move cautiously and clear surrounding mobs first. Engaging the Berserker while surrounded by skeletons or cultists can lead to instant disaster. If you're playing in a group, assign one player to scout ahead while others hold defensive positions.

 

Battle Strategy

 

The Demon Berserker uses a combination of wide sweeps, overhead smashes, and enraged rushes to overwhelm his targets. His attacks are telegraphed but hit extremely hard, so dodging and blocking are critical.

 

Combat Tips:

 

Stay Mobile: Don't get cornered. Keep circling the Berserker to avoid his slower strikes.

 

Watch the Rage Phase: When he roars and glows red, his attack speed increases dramatically. Step back and let your ranged fighters take over during this phase.

 

Use Terrain to Your Advantage: Columns, stairs, or obstacles can block his charge attacks.

 

Coordinate Timing: Have your healer manage cooldowns efficiently and your tank maintain aggro while DPS focuses on critical strikes.

 

Loot Quickly: After defeating each Berserker, collect your Dark and Darker Items fast, lingering too long can attract other enemies or rival players.

 

Repeat this process until you've slain three Demon Berserkers in a single session, then head immediately toward the extraction portal. Escaping successfully will mark the quest as complete and unlock your well-deserved rewards.

Final Thoughts

 

The Inferno Obstructors Quest is a true test of endurance, coordination, and courage. Slaying three Demon Berserkers in a single Crypt run, and escaping alive, is no small feat. But for those who succeed, the payoff in Dark and Darker Gold, high-tier gear, and prestige is well worth the struggle.

 

Whether you're a solo adventurer seeking glory or a battle-hardened group tackling the depths together, this quest will push your limits and reward your perseverance. Gather your gear, rally your allies, and descend once more into the dark, the Inferno Obstructors await.
