Slipping Away Second Chances

Slipping Away is a Dark and Darker quest assigned by the Armourer merchant, part of the Second Chances quest line. The objective is to bring 2× armor (uncommon). 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 Armourer in the lobby to turn in the quest and receive the reward. This quest requires completing Damned Survivor before it becomes available from Armourer. Completing Slipping Away rewards 🪙 50, Random Uncommon Armor, 75 XP. 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 Armourer quest chain unlocks higher reward tiers and increases merchant affinity, which can affect prices and open additional quest tiers in future seasons. The Second Chances chain provides a structured progression path through the Armourer 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.
