From Dark and Darker Wiki
Difficulty Grades
There are currently 3 types of grades for monsters:
- Common
- Elite (red features)
- Nightmare (dark grey features)
Damage, health, movement speed, action speed all increase with each grade bump, these changes are separated with a "/" in the tables below. Meanwhile, loot table odds will be increased for high rarity items and decreased for low tier items.
Elite monsters have 2x action speed (animation play speed) and Nightmare monsters have 3x action speed.
Only normal monsters can spawn at Nightmare tier.
Furthermore, monsters inherit special attacks or properties on Nightmare grade.
General Information
Flying type monsters can travel through the air and over terrain, while floating type units do not, they basically act as grounded units.
Monsters are subject to the body part damage modifier system, so hitting them in the head does more damage, while hitting their limbs does less.
Unlike player characters, monsters' shields are always active, even during their attack animations.
Monsters have the ability to destroy doors with either melee attacks, arrows or fireballs.
To learn more about boss move sets or any other specific monster, please check their individual pages.
