In Dark and Darker, players can engage in various quests given by NPCs, which often involve locating specific areas within the game's dungeons. One such area is the Four Rooms—a location that some quests, like the Doctor's Orders mission given by the Surgeon, require you to find and explore. Here's how you can locate the Four Rooms and successfully complete your quest.

Overview of Four Rooms

The Four Rooms is a specific map tile characterized by four square rooms arranged in a grid-like pattern. This area is not always guaranteed to appear on the map, which adds an element of luck to finding it. However, by knowing which maps it can spawn on and where to look, you can increase your chances of locating it.

Maps Where Four Rooms Can Be Found

1. Forgotten Castle - Crypt Level

The Four Rooms is most commonly found in the Crypt level of the Forgotten Castle map. When searching for it, focus your exploration around the center of the map.

The room layout is distinct and should stand out once you locate it. Watch for a configuration of four adjacent square rooms.

2. Ice Abyss

The newly added Ice Abyss map also reportedly features a Four Rooms area. Players have found this location on the right side of the map, specifically in a room with elevators.

To access the Ice Abyss, you need to survive in the regular Ice Cavern until there are 2 minutes or less remaining, then jump into the reddish abyss that appears.

Tips for Finding Four Rooms

Patience and Persistence: Since the Four Rooms do not appear on every map variant, you may need to explore several maps before finding it. Keep reloading the map until you encounter the correct layout.

Use Online Resources: Watching gameplay videos or referencing fan-made maps can give you a visual understanding of what to look for. For example, the YT video by Nox_proxY shows the exact layout of the Four Rooms, which can be extremely helpful.

Completing the Doctor's Orders Quest

Once you've found the Four Rooms, your objective is to explore the area and survive the entire run. Be prepared for possible enemy encounters within these rooms, and ensure you have enough healing items and equipment to make it through.

Collecting Gold and Items

As you explore the Four Rooms and other parts of the dungeon, keep an eye out for valuable Dark and Darker Gold and rare items. These resources are crucial for upgrading your character's gear and enhancing your survival chances in tougher dungeons.

By following this guide, you'll be better equipped to find the Four Rooms in Dark and Darker, complete the Doctor's Orders quest, and gather valuable loot along the way. Happy dungeon crawling!
