Dark and Darker Boosting

Dark and Darker's EA Season 7 will release on September 23, 2025. With the arrival of a new season, everything players currently own will be wiped out: your Dark and Darker gold, levels, and collected items will all be lost.

Dark and Darker EA has experienced significant player churn in the year since its release, with many players and streamers reporting that the current content lacks reward and freshness, feeling more like repetitive tasks and tiresome.

However, the new season is said to return to its roots, making it as fun as the first season. A trailer for Season 7 was recently released, revealing that the next season will revolve around a shipwreck and feature new monsters, enemies, and weapons.

EA 6.9

Before Season 7 officially launches, there will be a brief EA 6.9, a four-week mini-season transitional update. It is not a major update with any major new content. However, character levels, items, inventory, quest progress, and more will still be reset.

In addition to new equipment and rewards, the good news is that Dark and Darker gold required to unlock additional storage slots has been significantly reduced. Additionally, significant balance changes have been made to Druids and Mages, along with adjustments to the item stat system. Players can consider this a fast-paced, data-gathering season, with major new content expected in Season 7, starting on September 23rd.

Trailer Content

The new map features a pirate-themed shipwreck environment, including shipwrecks and underwater sections, complete with fog effects. The map appears more open and fluid than before, potentially moving away from the rigid grid-like modular wall design of the past and perhaps with a change in how boundaries are determined.

Shipwreck Section

The trailer shows the shipwreck's masts, various above-and-underwater structures, coral, anemones, seagrass, and more. You and your party can explore the shipwreck, but you'll obviously also encounter enemies like pirates and murlocs.

Some monsters will throw weapons like Francesca's throwing axes instead of using bows. New pirate humanoid monsters. They attack with a classic pirate-style scimitar with a domed gauntlet. This weapon is also a melee weapon available to players, as the player in the trailer also attacks with a wooden shield in one hand and a scimitar in the other.

You'll notice that the monsters' animations seem to have improved somewhat, as the developers are reportedly heavily revising or even reworking their model assets, including rerigging and reanimating them. This suggests they're focusing on enhancing the game's originality and quality rather than simply using off-the-shelf assets.

Underwater

The underwater areas aren't just for decoration, because players can swim around. Furthermore, there are glowing anemones and vertically floating coffins in the underwater areas. These coffins could be decorative items, loot points, or monster spawn points.

This may indicate that players will need to swim between islands or structures to move around, dealing with monsters along the way. This suggests that shipwrecks aren't the only setting in Season 7, as previously hinted at in leaks.

While the trailer hints that Season 7 may include underwater combat, possibly even an underwater boss battle, the trailer doesn't show any underwater combat action.

Unpacked Content

Besides the trailer, players have also gotten a sneak peek at Season 7's game assets through unpacking the game. Season 7 features a wide variety of creatures. They may not all be enemies, and some may be just environmental creatures.

Marine Creatures

There are a variety of new underwater resources, including swordfish, great white sharks, piranhas, large jellyfish, giant hermit crabs, octopuses, sea urchins, and squid.

These may be enemies or supplies. If they are supplies, Season 7 may also feature a fishing system. After catching a large fish, you can return to extraction and exchange it for Dark and Darker gold. Of course, these fish may also be used for cooking or as temporary supplies.

Humanoid Enemies

Season 7 apparently features a number of pirate enemies, primarily melee types wielding scimitars and ranged types that may throw knives and axes.

Murlocs are also a major enemy in Season 7, with types wielding maces, mages wielding ceremonial staffs, and harpooners. There's also a humanoid creature resembling a siren or mermaid, with many fangs in its mouth, which clearly falls into this category.

Elite Enemies (Or Bosses)

The unpacked content includes an enemy similar to a Crocodile Man, which resembles Skeksis from The Dark Crystal or Renekton from League of Legends. It has one normal arm and a ball and chain in the other.

Another pirate is a pirate who looks similar to Udyr from League of Legends (at least he looks like a pirate). He also has only one arm, and his other hand is equipped with a knife instead of a hook.

New Items

Besides the pirate scimitars mentioned above, there's also a new boat model, which may serve as a new extraction point or interactable object.

The above is the information about Dark and Darker Early Access Season 7. This season may give you the feeling of playing for the first time, but we still need to wait and see how it performs.

Welcome to our complete Dark and Darker Skeleton Warlord boss fight guide. 

In this guide, everything you need to know about the boss’ attacks, mechanics, locations, and more is provided. Without further ado, let’s see how to defeat Warlord.

Location

The location of this boss is fairly simple, as every boss on Inferno map has a chance to spawn there. 

The major difference from Skeleton Warlord is that they can only spawn in non-High Roller game mode. This is because these bosses feel easier than others. Therefore, players who are new to Inferno map boss battles can easily enter!

Skeleton Warlord has some mechanics and abilities to note. But with a little preparation and research, this battle is pretty simple. A boss battle begins whenever the player enters one of the 8 entrances.

Attack

Next, let’s talk about each attack mechanism of Skeleton Warlord.

• Summon Skeleton Rogues: This is a skill used by Skeleton Warlord between phases to summon multiple Skeleton Rogues to attack you.
• Bone Prison: Skeleton Warlord will stand within his aura and after reaching 5 stacks of debuffs, he will trap you in a Bone Prison.
• Throwing Knives: This is a throwing enchanted knife that is regularly used to catch players from a distance. It deals with 25 points of physical damage.
• Soul Steal: Skeleton will use the souls of dead players to create a shield for itself, absorbing 250 points of damage.
• Realm of Domination: With this attack, Warlord can paralyze players within AOE range for 6 seconds.
• Teleport Attacks: This will cause Warlord to teleport behind a random player and attack with his sword.

Strategy

The first thing we should do when entering Skeleton Warlord boss fight is buff. Clerics and Bards pre-casting their protection and damage buffs are key to starting a fight. Meanwhile, it is also important to spend Dark and Darker Gold in advance to purchase Potion of Protection.

Once the battle begins, Warlord will summon his Skeleton Rogues and cast a shield on himself. You can find chains leading to bosses on these Rogues. To lower the shield, you need to kill Rogues. If we do not kill Rogues in time, the chain connected to the boss will break.

In the first phase, Clerics is best pushed directly to Warlord and use Holy Purification. Doing so will hit each Rogues, making it easier for the team to kill them.

Once Skeleton Warlord’s barrier is down, he will begin to initiate Onslaught. This is where Fighter with the shield becomes most important. They can block most of Warlord’s attacks by holding down block while raising their head slightly!

In the meantime, be aware of who Warlord is targeting and his tendency to teleport. So prepare accordingly. Have one player tank and the rest DPS.

After the damage phase ends, Warlord will return to the first phase and his barrier will rise, pushing Warlord into the second phase.

At this point, Warlord behaves exactly as it did during the first damage phase. Therefore, the method of dealing damage to the boss is the same as in the first damage phase. Rinse and repeat a few times and you’ll kill the boss!

Reward

If you and your party have defeated Skeleton Warlord, the dungeon’s loot is yours! Warlord will drop a total of 4 pieces of loot. Plus, there’s a treasure here! Treasures are unlimited loot points, as long as your inventory can hold them all!

Hopefully, this complete Skeleton Warlord boss battle guide will successfully help you get all the glory and loot in the dungeon!
