Dark and Darker XP Extraction Guide

The game's XP system works similarly to most games, where players must do specific actions, such as killing monsters to level up. However, players only earn the full amount of XP after successfully extracting in Dark and Darker. If players do not make it out alive and extract, they gain only a fraction of their earned XP. Extracting as soon as possible is recommended to avoid losing valuable XP.

How to level up in Dark and Darker

There are many ways to level up in Dark and Darker, such as killing monsters or opening chests. The following listed below are the best methods:

  • Killing monsters
  • Killing Bosses
  • Looting chests, corpses, and bookcases
  • Using portals
  • Using Shrines

Players can earn more XP using a red portal to access more challenging dungeons. You can also find bosses inside red portals that grant large amounts of XP when defeated. We only recommend using the red portal if you have good equipment or friends.
