Escape from Squid Coast Walkthrough — Minecraft Dungeons II

What is Escape from Squid Coast?

Escape from Squid Coast is the first quest in Minecraft Dungeons II — a 13-step tutorial worth 550 XP set in the Squid Coast region. The story opens with your hero fleeing the coast and fighting toward safety, which is how the game teaches movement, melee, ranged attacks, and dodging without a separate tutorial menu.

What does the quest teach you?

The 13 steps walk you through the core loop in order: basic attacks, your first weapon pickup, dodging through enemy packs, and interacting with objectives. Unlike the first game’s linear missions, the quest ends by delivering you into the connected world — the road onward leads to Brave Haven, the hub town with the quest board and merchants.

Tips for the opening quest

• Grab everything. Early drops are weak, but the Blacksmith in Brave Haven upgrades gear to your level later — nothing is wasted.
• Dodge through, not away. Rolling through an enemy repositions you; rolling backward leaves you cornered.
• Projectiles recharge. Dungeons II gives ranged weapons regenerating ammunition — don’t hoard shots.
• Follow the Guiding Light. The on-screen guidance trail marks the next objective in the open world — useful in every later quest too.

What comes next?

Completing the escape opens Brave Haven and puts the next main quests on the board: The Illagers from the Rift and The Lost Merchant, both in Honeycomb Fields. See the full 42-quest list for the whole story order, or start with our beginner guide for what to do in the hub.
