Your Four Regions

Dungeons of Hinterberg is broken into four very distinct regions, called Overworlds, that each have their own pockets of adventure, weather, and monsters. We asked Reisinger to summarize each of these unique regions.

Doberkogel – “Doberkogel has this lush green meadow and it’s a very chill and sunny atmosphere. Oh, and you can pet the cow (if you want). You can also climb up to the very top of the mountain where it gets a bit rougher, but in general it’s a very relaxing hike up to the Upper Lush Green.”

Hinterwald – “Very deep, dark, and dense. Lots of covered space where you get to hike in various nooks and crannies. It’s a great place for you to get lost in.”

Kolmstein – “Kolmstein is a perpetually snowy mountain, but it’s also very bright with a beautiful blue sky — but always covered in snow. It’s here you get to use a magic hoverboard, so it’s very much like a giant ski slope feeling. Another mountain peak with great sights.”

Brunnelsumpf – “Brunnelsumpf is a perpetually rainy (and a bit foggy) marshland. There are lots of different islands for you to explore – you can rent a canoe to travel to each of them. It’s a bit more like the type of place you’d want to cool down a bit, thanks to its more cloudy and tempered weather.”

The Must-See Monsters

Hinterberg and the surrounding biomes are filled with a wide variety of monsters and bosses that you’ll have to contend with on your adventures. Here’s a quick breakdown on what type of nasty fiends you can expect to encounter.

Doberkogel – “Kobold’s are everywhere but if you go to the mountains, all the dungeons are mine-themed. The boss is a big worm that can burrow through the earth and lives in a cave in the mountain.”

Hinterwald – “There’s an enemy that looks kind of like an old woman, and she’s called Buschweibchen, which is kind-of “bush woman” in German, so very literal. She will throw poison mushrooms at you, and she can heal. She’s kind of like a forest witch.”

Kolmstein – “There’s an enemy called a Drood. She’s a flying woman with talons. You encounter her a lot and she can conjure thunderstorm clouds and make lightning and bad weather.”

Brunnelsumpf – ”For Brunnelsumpf, it must be the Irrlicht, which is German translation of “Will-o’-the-wisp”. It’s said to be a spirit of people who vanished in a swamp and come back as this little light and kind of lead people astray.”

Meet the Locals (Klaus in Particular)

There are many locals you can befriend during your time in Hinterberg that can give you the lay of the land and help you get acquainted to the peculiarities of the region. There are a few folks you should seek out once you arrive in town, but one of the most important is Klaus.

“He used to be a famous mountaineer in his younger days and is now the guide for onboarding tourists – he will help you on day one and you can go see him at any time. If you visit him later, he will suggest some tips and tricks. And if you’re a good person that collects trash up on the mountain, you can also give it to him for some special rewards.”
