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.

  • Killing monsters

  • Looting chests, corpses, and bookcases
