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 Six Difficulty Scenes Tier Seven Difficulty Scenes Tier Eight Difficulty Scenes Tier Nine Difficulty Scenes Tier Ten Difficulty Scenes

For higher tier scenes, the spike may contain Daemon Skulls, which indicate two tiers each. So a tier with two daemon skulls and three normal skulls is a Tier 7 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.
