Maximize your score, gold, and treasure rank in Dragon's Crown with chain runs. Learn about allies, online play, enemy scaling, experience, and loot.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Choose to continue your adventure instead of returning to town after finishing a dungeon to initiate a chain run.
  2. 2
    Chain runs provide increasing bonuses to score, gold, and treasure rank and quality, up to a certain point.
  3. 3
    Manage gear durability and limited use skills; extend chain runs by filling multiple bags.
  4. 4
    Switch bags when choosing your path in the dungeon.
  5. 5
    Each item can only be in one bag, but skills can be in multiple bags, and using a skill in one bag does not deplete it in others.
Tips
  • Fill multiple bags to extend chain runs.
  • Skills can be duplicated across bags to avoid depletion.

Walkthrough:

  • Manually add specific AI allies at the Dragon's Haven Inn.
  • AI allies you have resurrected can join your game if you have open slots.
  • When online, other players can randomly join your game.
  • Friends on your friends list can also manually join your game.
  • When leveling an alternate character, resurrect high-level AI with your main character and add them to your alt's party.
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    When online, there is a chance you will randomly join someone else's game, even when selecting a dungeon through the stables.
  2. 2
    This can also happen during Labyrinth of Chaos (LoC), where you may join a random floor even without completing all stages.
  3. 3
    If you finish a dungeon alone and choose to continue, you might be placed into a random player's game, resetting your life points to 2 and disabling food buffs.
  4. 4
    If you join a floor deeper than your current progress, you will not receive credit for the clear.
  5. 5
    To avoid these random joins and their consequences, play offline.
  6. 6
    When online, other players can randomly join your game if you have open slots.
Tips
  • Enemy health increases with more party members, even if they are AI-controlled.
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Score equals experience in Dragon's Crown.
  2. 2
    Prayers affect score: Adventurer's Boon (500) gives a 10% bonus, Explorer's Boon (4000) gives a 25% bonus, and Trailblazer's Boon (10000) gives a 50% bonus.
  3. 3
    Difficulty multipliers affect score: Normal (10%), Hard (50%), and Inferno (200%).
  4. 4
    Chain Run Score Bonus can add up to +200% score.
  5. 5
    Score is also affected by the Food Minigame bonus.
  6. 6
    The order of effectiveness for stage completion bonuses is: Path B completion > Path B Escape ~ Path A > anything else in the stage > LoC.
  7. 7
    Labyrinth of Chaos (LoC) is not ideal for experience gain due to the lack of a completion experience bonus.
Tips
  • To get the most experience, use the best prayer available, play on the highest difficulty setting (Inferno), and focus on completing Path B chain runs quickly.
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Prayers affect spoils: Athena's Blessing (7500) increases the chance of gaining extra spoils from chests, Jula's Blessing (20000) improves the percentage of higher-ranked loot, and Vernas's Blessing (40000) improves the percentage of higher-quality loot.
  2. 2
    Chain runs increase the rank and quality of spoils.
  3. 3
    Golden chests tend to offer better ranked spoils compared to wooden, metal, and red chests, which are roughly equal.
  4. 4
    Chests found in optional rooms generally have better ranked spoils than those on the mandatory path.
  5. 5
    Bosses typically drop two highly ranked spoils.
  6. 6
    Difficulty does not affect spoils; loot will always be around your character's level.
Tips
  • To obtain good loot, use a prayer that boosts spoils, run through a couple of dungeons to build up the chain run bonus, and then explore all optional rooms.
  • You can perform these loot-focused runs on Normal difficulty since it does not impact loot quality or rank.
