The Faith and Worry quest in Dark and Darker is a deceptively simple challenge that tests endurance, consistency, and dungeon control rather than raw mechanical skill. On paper, killing undead skeletons sounds easy, but the catch is that all 30 kills must be completed in a single session inside the Crypt dungeon. One death, one extraction, or one failed run resets your progress entirely.

Despite the pressure, this quest is absolutely worth pursuing. The rewards include valuable Dark and Darker Gold and high-tier Dark and Darker Items, making it an efficient way to build wealth and strengthen your character if approached correctly. This guide explains how to complete Faith and Worry safely and consistently.

Quest Overview

Objective

Kill Undead Skeletons in the Crypt dungeon (30x)

Must be completed in one single session

This means you cannot extract early, disconnect, or die during the run. Every skeleton kill must occur before a successful extraction.

Quest Rewards

Completing Faith and Worry grants:

150 Unique Gold Coin

2 Random Epic Armor pieces

300 Experience

The two Epic Armor rewards are the standout here. Even if they aren't perfect for your class, they can be traded or sold for a solid amount of Dark and Darker Gold, making this quest a strong economic play.

Why This Quest Is Trickier Than It Looks

Skeletons are common enemies in the Crypt, but killing 30 in one run introduces several complications:

You must stay alive for an extended period

Resources like healing and durability matter more

PvP encounters become a serious risk

Time management is critical

Many players fail not because skeletons are hard, but because they rush, overcommit, or underestimate how long the run will take.

Preparation Before Entering the Crypt

Preparation is everything for Faith and Worry. You want a build that excels at efficient PvE clearing rather than burst damage or PvP dominance.

Recommended Loadout

Reliable weapon with good durability

Armor that balances protection and movement speed

Healing supplies (bandages, potions, or spells)

Utility items like shields or throwable weapons

Avoid bringing your most expensive Dark and Darker Items. The run takes time, and unnecessary risk can turn one mistake into a full reset.

Best Classes for Faith and Worry

Almost any class can complete this quest, but some have a clear advantage:

Fighter – Excellent sustain and control in long PvE runs

Cleric – Healing allows for safer extended sessions

Barbarian – Fast skeleton clears, but requires careful health management

Ranger – Safe ranged kills reduce damage taken over time

Solo players should focus on survivability. Group play makes the quest easier, but coordination is essential to avoid accidental wipes.

Efficient Skeleton Farming Strategy

The key to this quest is consistent skeleton engagement without overextending.

Where to Find Skeletons

Hallways and chambers throughout the Crypt

Crypt rooms with coffins and bone piles

Areas with low elite enemy density

Avoid rooms with sub-bosses or high-risk enemy combinations. Skeletons respawn frequently enough that you don't need to chase danger.

Kill Counting and Pace Management

You don't need to rush the 30 kills. In fact, rushing often leads to mistakes.

Smart Pace Tips

Clear skeletons methodically

Heal after every few engagements

Keep mental track of your kill count

Avoid unnecessary PvP fights

If another player engages you, disengaging is often the smarter choice. PvP deaths invalidate the entire run.

Managing PvP Threats

Because the Crypt is a shared dungeon, other players are the biggest wildcard.

PvP Survival Tips

Stick to quieter routes

Avoid high-traffic central areas

Listen carefully for footsteps

Don't reveal your position unnecessarily

Remember: this quest rewards patience, not dominance. Winning a fight means nothing if it costs you the run.

Resource Conservation Matters

Thirty skeletons take time, and poor resource management can end your attempt late into the run.

Repair or swap weapons if durability gets low

Save healing for emergencies

Don't tank unnecessary hits

Use positioning to reduce damage taken

The goal is to reach the final skeleton kill with enough health and supplies to safely extract.

When to Extract

Only extract after confirming all 30 skeleton kills. Double-check your quest tracker before leaving. Extracting early, even accidentally, resets all progress.

Once complete:

Avoid looting excessively

Head directly to the safest extraction point

Stay alert until the run officially ends

Many players fail at this final step by relaxing too early.

Why Faith and Worry Is Worth Doing

Despite the risk, Faith and Worry is one of the better mid-tier quests for players focused on progression. The Epic Armor rewards can significantly improve your build or be sold for Dark and Darker Gold to fund future dungeon runs.

Additionally, the experience gain helps bridge the gap toward higher-tier content, making this quest an efficient stepping stone rather than a time sink.

Final Thoughts

Faith and Worry is a lesson in discipline. The quest doesn't demand perfect mechanics, it demands smart play, patience, and consistency. By focusing on safe skeleton farming, avoiding PvP, and managing resources carefully, the quest becomes far more manageable than it first appears.

Complete it cleanly, extract safely, and you'll walk away stronger, richer in Dark and Darker Gold, and better equipped with powerful Dark and Darker Items for the challenges still ahead in the Crypt.
