To spawn the biome, your Camp's Fire Level should be level 3 or more. Here's the step-by-step process to access this new content:
Pro Tip: Ignore exploration in the early game - every second counts when trying to unlock the volcanic biome quickly. I learned this the hard way after wasting precious daylight wandering around!
The Ram spawns exclusively at night in the Volcanic Biome. Once the Ram spots you, it begins chasing at normal speed but can suddenly charge forward with a speed boost. This formidable new entity has unique characteristics:
Survival Strategy: Always carry a flashlight when exploring at night. Shining a flashlight at the Ram will stun it, giving you precious seconds to escape.
The Goatman is a scary, strong enemy with uncontrollable rage, feared by other big monsters. This new addition brings unprecedented danger to the volcanic landscape:
Fire Bandits are a new enemy class that attacks with infernal crossbows from a distance. These enemies change combat dynamics significantly:
To start the Cultist King Ritual, you first have to find special items called Cultist Gems. The Cultist King can only appear if summoned with 4 Cultist Gems at the Cultist King Base. Follow these steps:
The Cultist King looks a bit small and slow at first, so you might think it's easy. But it's still a strong opponent that you have to watch closely. Key tactics include:
The update introduces a new Fire Bandit class, which starts with an Infernal Crossbow and a Wildfire Potion. This class revolutionizes fire-based combat:
This makes the Fire Bandit class particularly useful for dealing with groups of enemies in the Volcanic Biome. The synergy between fire damage and the volcanic environment creates powerful combo opportunities.
The Infernal Crossbow is a Crossbow variant added on 20/09/2025. It has similar properties to the crossbow but once an enemy gets hit it will be inflicted with the burning effect.
How to Obtain:
Pro Tip: You can dually wield them for medium damage + fire damage since the Infernal Crossbow doesn't replace the regular crossbow!
| Weapon | Damage Type | How to Obtain | Special Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infernal Sword | Melee/Fire | Volcano sacrifices, Infernal Chests | Sets enemies ablaze instantly |
| Infernal Crossbow | Ranged/Fire | Fire Bandit class, Volcano rewards | Burning effect on hit |
| Wildfire Potion | Area/Fire | Crafting, chest drops | Creates lava pools |
| Regular Crossbow | Ranged | Volcanic chests, Cultist drops | Infinite ammo |
| Lava Mine | Trap/Fire | Blueprint crafting | Fire damage explosion |
One of the most dramatic additions in Part 2 is the periodic volcano eruption system. The volcano can erupt every 20 nights, flooding parts of the map with lava and shrinking the safe areas.
Eruption Timeline:
When the volcano erupts, follow these critical steps:
There are four new badges in the Volcano Biome, each tied to unique tasks. Here's your complete achievement guide:

The volcano, in which you can sacrifice Cultists for loot, whether it's alive or dead, with the exception of the Deer and the Owl. The sacrifice mechanic is central to progression:
Sacrifice Rewards Include:
The Ammo Furnace is a big structure where Cultists are stationed. The place will have several Infernal chests spread throughout the area.
