Work in progress!

When arriving at towns currently under the shadow or getting certain random encounters while driving, the protagonist will have go through a dungeon and preform a certain task. These dungeons can contain loot, in form of bullets, equipable items, lockpicks, notes, clues about the banishment ritual, or spells. When in a dungeon, the player may find corpses on the ground and runes on the wall, which may reveal details about the Gods.

Details

Every dungeon contains specific details about the god controlling it.

  • Corpses will reveal the aspect of the controlling god through their descriptions
  • Runes are always written in the color of the controlling god
  • Runes also reveal the relation of the controlling god to the others. for instance, if you find runes A, B, and C written in red in a dungeon and rune C is upside down, then you can infer that either A or B is the controlling god, that Gods A and B are allies, one of them is Red, one of them is the invader, and that God C is their enemy.

Missions

There are four basic missions that need to be completed. leaving the dungeon will result in a hefty loss of sanity

Find an occult text

These missions take two basic versions: The text lying on the floor and text hidden in boxes.

Lying on the floor version

This is the simplest version. The text is placed in a room randomly, so it is simply a question of finding it and grabbing it. However, grabbing the text will result in a pursuit monster spawning. It is therefore advisable to navigate the entire dungeon and getting all the loot before one takes the text.

Boxes

This version is a lot more tricky. The text is hidden in one of three boxes placed in the dungeon and one must try to open op the right one. In the entrance, there will be a corpse that when examined, will hint at what box the text is in(ex. only open the box with god X' rune/colour). Opening a wrong box will give a prompt, saying that the box is completely empty. Prior knowledge given in clues is not factored in, so one is often left with guessing which box is the right one. Opening any of the boxes will result in a pursuit monster spawning. If one opens the wrong box, it is still possible to try the others, albeit quite harder with the pursuit monster after one. Likewise with the simpler version, it is advisable to navigate the entire dungeon and getting all the loot before one opens any of the boxes.

Kill large monster

This mission entails killing one large monster hidden in the dungeon. Killing the monster is result in a note dropping.

Finding survivors or their remains.

Depending on the mission, one has to navigate the dungeon and find either one or three corpses, or the survivor if alive. When approached the survivor may either stand up and run to the exit or draw a pistol and attack the protagonist.

Killing congregations of monsters.

In this mission, one must enter and kill multiple monsters in three rooms.

Special Missions

Find the Underground Chamber and Cast the Banishment Ritual

Stonehenge only. The player must explore the dungeon until they find an opening near the floor with a ladder in it which will lead to the underground chamber where you must cast the banishment ritual. The entrance to the chamber is always behind a locked door.
