Dimraeth map and regions

The Early Access map is one open world without loading screens. You start in the Lost Caverns, reach Earlwood Village, and push out through the farmlands into the Wildwood Forest; Early Access expanded the Wildwood and added the Goblin Caves. Waypoints are how you get around, and teleporting to one costs nothing. What lives in each region, and which packs catch players unprepared, is on Dimraeth enemies.

The regions in the Early Access build

The starter region runs from the Lost Caverns through Earlwood Village into the Wildwood Forest. Early Access added two regions: the expanded Wildwood forest and the Goblin Caves.

The farmlands, Wildwood forest and Earlwood village were already in the demo. The full release adds new biomes and zones beyond Earlwood and Wildwood. For what else changed between the demo and this build, see what is in Dimraeth Early Access.

The order you reach them

1. The Lost Caverns

   The tutorial dungeon. Its boss is the monstrous droop, which is also the first boss achievement.

2. Earlwood Village and the Sanctum

   Town, the Guild Hall, and your base. The first building steps are on the Dimraeth Sanctum page.

3. Map fragments and waypoints around Earlwood

   Collect map fragments to open up the map, and touch every fast-travel point you pass before taking on quests.

4. The broken bridge

   Repair the bridge by contributing stone and wood; it leads to a second area with a second town. The matching achievement is River Crosser, for completing The Broken Bridge Quest.

The first-hours version of this route, with the quests along it, is on the Dimraeth beginner guide.

Waypoints and fast travel

Once you have found a waypoint (way stone) you can teleport to it from anywhere, at almost any time. There is no cost or penalty, by design, so use it freely.

You can also build a waypoint of your own, which is what the Wayfarer’s Gate achievement asks for:

1. River Crosser Complete The Broken Bridge Quest35.6%
2. Wayfarer's Gate Build a Waypoint18.6%

Do not place anything too close to a waypoint stone you build, or you will get stuck in the object when you teleport to it. Roll or dodge to get out.

Teleporting is also the fix for being stuck in camp

If you are stuck in your camp and cannot walk out, teleport to a waypoint. The cause is a tent placed with a campfire; that bug and its test build are on Dimraeth bugs and fixes.

No loading screens, and the stutter at the Earlwood bridge

The world streams in as you walk, so a short hitch at certain crossings is expected on lower-end hardware. No enemies or quests sit at those points.

A stutter every few seconds away from those crossings is a different problem, which can come from the game’s player.log filling with errors; send that file to the developers on the Discord. What else affects performance is on Dimraeth system requirements and Dimraeth on Steam Deck.

When the map will not zoom

Some players find the map opens fully zoomed in and ignores the mouse wheel or trigger, and the skill tree can do the same. One player fixed it by crafting a workbench, building it and using it; it costs little to try. Other input problems are on Dimraeth controls.

Day and night

The world runs a day cycle of one in-game minute per real second, so a full day takes about 24 real minutes. Night matters for resting at home:

That XP bonus feeds straight into leveling, covered on Dimraeth leveling and respec. The bosses you meet across these regions are on Dimraeth bosses.
