Scene Difficulty

Some scenes have a spike with skulls next to their exit archways. These are not simply decorations, those skulls are "tier markers" and they indicate the difficulty of nearby enemies; the more skulls on the spike, the more challenging the enemies.

Tier One Difficulty Scenes Tier Two Difficulty Scenes Tier Three Difficulty Scenes Tier Four Difficulty Scenes Tier Five Difficulty Scenes Tier Six Difficulty Scenes Tier Seven Difficulty Scenes Tier Eight Difficulty Scenes Tier Nine Difficulty Scenes Tier Ten Difficulty Scenes

Tier Eleven Difficulty Scenes Tier Twelve Difficulty Scenes Tier Thirteen Difficulty Scenes Tier Fourteen Difficulty Scenes Tier Fifteen Difficulty Scenes Tier Sixteen Difficulty Scenes Tier Seventeen Difficulty Scenes Tier Eighteen Difficulty Scenes Tier Nineteen Difficulty Scenes Tier Twenty Difficulty Scenes

For higher tier scenes, the spike may contain Daemon Skulls, which indicate two tiers each, and/or bloody skulls, which indicate four tiers each. A tier with two daemon skulls and three normal skulls is a Tier 7 scene. A tier with one daemon skull and four bloody skulls is a Tier 18 scene.

Scenes may also contain paths with their own difficulty markers; for example, a Tier 5 scene may have a Tier 2 path leading to a specific location, and within the scene a spike with two skulls will be displayed at the entrance to that path.

Some scenes are designated with a Plus (+), which are shown in-game with a ribbon at the top of the spike. This indicates that the scene is more dangerous than a typical scene of its tier, or contains pockets of higher tier opponents, and is generally designed for a group. However, the general level of enemies, resources, and quests is on par with other scenes of its tier.
