Random dungeons do not pop up like [[:Category:Random events|random events]] do.

Random dungeons can also be chained so that one random dungeon leads into another.

Initial random location introduced in [[1.1.1.0]] were dungeons that appeared in low level areas to spice up the early game on successive playthroughs. Version [[1.1.2.0]] expanded the system to include other kinds of random locales, such as large stationary boats in the waterways.

Random locations are new type of content introduced in Underrail version 1.1.1.0.

Mechanics

Initial random location introduced in 1.1.1.0 were dungeons that appeared in low level areas to spice up the early game on successive playthroughs. Version 1.1.2.0 expanded the system to include other kinds of random locales, such as large stationary boats in the waterways.

They do not pop up and later disappear like random events do. They either are there from the beginning of a playthrough, integrated and continuous with the static map, or they are not. All playthroughs will have some random locations, but usually not all of them. Random locations can also be chained so that one random location leads into another.

They should be as indistinguishable from regular areas as possible: A random location will modify one or more zones by adding a small world fragment into the zone that serves as the location's entrance. Usually, any entrance fragment can lead to any random location of matching type (eg. a trapdoor will connect to a ladder, west transition will connect to east transition) but some random locations have pre-defined locations.

In addition to random loot like in static areas, random locations have randomized entrances and other varying random factors.

Zones

Base zones for random locations. The contents of these zones are randomized to varying degrees.

Unnamed

Fragments

Fragments are small changes added to existing static zones. They usually serve as random location entrances, or other points of interests in quests related to random locations.

In Lower Caves:

In Lower Passages:

In Core City:

In Waterways: Expedition

Additonally Waterways can have one or two out of three of these fragments:

In Random locations:

Interiors

Maps of random location zones. Note that parts of the location layouts, such as entrances and which areas are blocked or damaged, can be randomized.

Fragments

Random locations add small fragments to otherwise static areas, usually to serve as their entrance point. Normal areas included for comparison.
