All 20 Dungeons in Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent — A Complete List

Here is the complete list of all 20 dungeons in Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent, broken down by the game's four main chapters.

01

What Are the Four Chapters of Terrinoth?tag

The campaign of Heroes of Descent is a sprawling adventure divided into four distinct chapters, each with its own geographical focus, narrative arc, and escalating threat level. Each chapter contains five main dungeons that must be cleared to advance the story. Understanding this structure is key to preparing your party for the challenges ahead.

• Chapter 1: The Barony of Rhynn: Your journey begins in the relatively peaceful lands of Rhynn, where a creeping darkness threatens small villages and ancient woods. The dungeons here are classic fantasy fare—forests, crypts, and abandoned mines—designed to test your initial party composition.
• Chapter 2: The Greyhaven Marches: Moving into the bustling city of Greyhaven and its surroundings, the threats become more organized. Here you'll face political intrigue, criminal syndicates, and arcane experiments gone wrong in dungeons that require more tactical thinking.
• Chapter 3: The Sunken Lands of Nerekhall: The campaign takes a dark turn as you venture into the corrupted city of Nerekhall. The environment itself is an enemy, and dungeons feature demonic influence, eldritch horrors, and foes that test your party's mental resolve.
• Chapter 4: The Shadow of the Dragonlord: The final act pits you against the ultimate threat: the High Dragonlord Valyndra and her fanatical cult. These are epic, high-stakes dungeons set in volcanic lairs and otherworldly planes, demanding a fully upgraded and synergistic team.
