Sacred Gold difficulty order and Underworld entry
Choose the right campaign and export a qualifying character.
Edition covered
Sacred Gold combines Sacred, Sacred Plus and the Underworld expansion. Pictures include the Underworld-only Dwarf and Daemon classes. Base Sacred has six classes; Gold has eight. This guide does not cover Sacred 2 or Sacred 3.
Start on Bronze or Silver
New single-player characters begin with Bronze and Silver available. Higher tiers are unlocked through campaign progression, and they increase enemy difficulty rather than merely changing a label on the save.
| Order | Difficulty | Single-player context |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bronze | Available to a new character |
| 2 | Silver | Available to a new character |
| 3 | Gold | Unlocked through the preceding progression |
| 4 | Platinum | Later unlocked difficulty |
| 5 | Niobium | Highest standard difficulty tier |
Meet the Underworld level requirement
The Underworld campaign requires a character of at least level 25. Export the character from the in-game menu, select Underworld and import the appropriate hero; the manual also supplies prepared Dwarf and Daemon exports.
| Step | Action | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Qualify | Reach at least level 25 | Use an eligible character |
| Export | Open the in-game menu and export | Choose the intended slot |
| Select campaign | Choose Underworld from the main menu | Gold or Underworld installation |
| Import | Select the exported character | Verify level and equipment |
| Begin | Speak with Baroness Vilya in the opening | Follow the expansion objective |
Do not overwrite the wrong export
Export slots preserve a character for another game or campaign, but replacing an occupied slot removes the previous exported copy. Keep distinct slots for builds or campaign milestones you want to retain.
Prepare for stronger enemies
A higher difficulty raises enemy strength and changes the value of healing and equipment. Check resistances, reliable damage and regeneration before importing an underprepared character into a harder run.
