ANSWERS FOR YOUR FIRST SESSION

Balance Due gameplay guide and player questions

Steam edition · Researched Nov 8, 2026 · Guide updated Nov 8, 2026.

Our guidance

How does the timing of my gold payment affect the daily quota?

Submitting gold during the day increases the total Due, while submitting it at night lowers it. You must manage these payments carefully, as failing to meet the daily quota results in a penalty twice as severe as the original amount.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

What is the primary risk of staying in the wilderness after sunset?

After sunset, the wilderness becomes significantly more dangerous. Stronger threats emerge and visibility decreases, making your return journey much more difficult. You must decide if the potential for extra loot is worth the increased risk of a costly mistake.

Our guidance

How can I make future expeditions faster and safer?

You should focus on activating ancient portals while exploring. These portals serve as shortcuts that allow you to travel deeper into the world more efficiently, making your subsequent trips through the dangerous fantasy wilderness faster and safer for your party.

Our guidance

What should I prioritize when visiting the blacksmith?

Visit the blacksmith to improve your equipment by upgrading attack power, maximum health, movement speed, or health regeneration. Choose upgrades that suit your playstyle, but remember that these resources could also be used to pay your daily quota.

Source facts

What happens if I fail to meet the daily quota?

If you fail to meet the daily quota set by the Mage, you will face a penalty. This penalty is twice as severe as the quota itself, which can potentially undo the progress of your entire party in a single night.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

How does cooperative play affect the expedition?

In online co-op, you can divide responsibilities and explore different routes. You must watch each other's backs and help fallen allies return to the fight. Be careful, as one careless decision by any player can negatively affect the whole party.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

What are the benefits of exploring different regions?

Each region offers unique monsters, resources, and hidden rewards. By traveling further into these distinct areas, you gain access to greater opportunities for loot, though the journey back to Base Camp becomes increasingly dangerous the further you travel from safety.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

How should I approach combat with hostile creatures?

Use fast-paced melee combat to battle creatures. It is essential to learn their specific attack patterns and avoid incoming strikes. Wait for the right moment to fight back rather than attacking blindly, as this helps you survive and protect your loot.

Based on source 1.

Source facts

What is the purpose of the Balance in the game?

The Balance tracks what you owe, but your decisions also push it in different directions. These choices lead the journey toward different conclusions, allowing you to pursue order, embrace chaos, or discover other possibilities hidden between those two extremes.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

What should I do with the loot I recover?

Once you return to Base Camp, sell your recovered loot to earn gold. This gold is necessary to purchase new equipment, upgrade your existing weapons at the blacksmith, and pay the daily quota demanded by the Mage to avoid severe penalties.
