Dark and Darker is currently on update: Patch:6.7#Hotfix 81.

Currently, there is only one type of portals in the game, blue Escape Portals, allowing players to extract from the dungeon.

How to Use

Locate the portal and initiate its activation by pressing the F key. Once activated, a blue circle will materialize over 1-2 seconds. Once the portal is fully materialized, you can instantly escape by coming into contact with the portal.

It's crucial to exercise caution and be mindful of your surroundings, as any disruptions or enemy attacks while activating the portal could thwart your escape.

Escape Portal

Static Escape Portals appear as pedestals with a blue glow on the ground. After some time they will emerge from the ground as a set of 3. Each of the 3 count as a completely separate Prop, so activating more than 1 from a set will grant more AP/Exp.

You can check Escape Portals Locations on the Map.

Down Portal

In previous iterations of Dark and Darker, red Down Portals existed that allowed players to go down one level deeper. These have been replaced with Static Down Stairs.

No, rogues can open escape portals just fine. Make sure you are close enough to one of the stone rectangles, and make sure your reticle is directly over it. If you really can't get it, you can try requesting a knight (a real player) to show you by going to the escape menu->Community->Request Knight.

Closed after use?

Can you use the headstones after someone has already used it?

anonymous | Posted on Jul 17, 2024 at 1:47 pm

No. They emerge as a set of three though, so once one stone is used, the two others are still available.

Time when it opens?

Precise Time when it Opens?

anonymous | Posted on Jul 11, 2024 at 5:09 am

around 3:30 left to end

do some portals not open? if they didn't open around 3:30?

Tilo | Posted on Aug 8, 2024 at 12:33 pm

they always open but sometimes later like around 2:30; also i think they take longer to open if players are around so its not that easy to just camp at a portal and wait for it (but im not sure abt that)
