Beasts of the Dark Forest
Beasts of the Dark Forest is a Dark and Darker quest assigned by the Alchemist merchant, part of the Endless Inquiry quest line. Creatures able to survive in a near pitch black forest are worth studying in their own right. Of particular interest to me are the wolves known to dwell there. There must be a reason they endure in conditions like that. I find myself wondering if the answer lies in their eyes. Bring me one of those unnaturally gleaming eyes. The objective is to bring 1× blue eyeballs. All progress requires a successful extraction — items retrieved or kills made during a failed run do not count toward quest completion. Once every objective is fulfilled, return to Alchemist in the lobby to turn in the quest and receive the reward. This quest requires completing Behind the Deception before it becomes available from Alchemist. Completing Beasts of the Dark Forest rewards 30 Gold, Random Uncommon Armor, 25 XP. The quest is completed in Ice Cavern, Goblin Caves, Ruins or Ship Graveyard. Merchant quests in Dark and Darker are one of the most consistent gold and experience sources in the game, independent of loot luck on the Trading Post. Completing the full Alchemist quest chain unlocks higher reward tiers and increases merchant affinity, which can affect prices and open additional quest tiers in future seasons. The Endless Inquiry chain provides a structured progression path through the Alchemist quest tree, and finishing each quest in order is the fastest route to the higher value objectives later in the line. Use the MetaBot Dark and Darker quest tracker to check all open objectives across every active merchant before extracting, so you can turn in multiple quests from a single run and get the most value out of each session.
