To access the Soul Sand Valley level in Minecraft Dungeons, you must follow a specific unlock path through other levels found within the Flames of the Nether DLC. This area is a "secret secret" location, meaning it requires finding hidden elements within other levels to gain access.
Unlocking the Soul Sand Valley Level
The Soul Sand Valley level is not available from the start. As a hidden level within the Flames of the Nether DLC, it is unlocked through a secret that can generate in the Crimson Forest. To reach the Crimson Forest in the first place, it in turn can be unlocked from a secret in the Warped Forest.
Here is the required sequence of steps to gain access:
- Step 1: Access the Warped Forest. The Warped Forest is one of the standard levels included in the Flames of the Nether DLC. Ensure you have this DLC installed and accessible.
- Step 2: Find the Secret to Unlock Crimson Forest. Play through the Warped Forest level. Somewhere within this level, a secret entrance or trigger can generate that leads to unlocking the Crimson Forest level on your map. You must find and interact with this secret.
- Step 3: Access the Crimson Forest. Once the secret in the Warped Forest is found, the Crimson Forest level will become available on your map.
- Step 4: Find the Secret to Unlock Soul Sand Valley. Play through the Crimson Forest level. Similar to the Warped Forest, a secret entrance or trigger can generate within the Crimson Forest that unlocks the Soul Sand Valley level. You need to locate and interact with this specific secret.
- Step 5: Access the Soul Sand Valley. After finding the secret in the Crimson Forest, the Soul Sand Valley level will be unlocked and appear on your map, ready for you to explore.
Important Considerations
Remember that finding these secrets requires careful exploration within the respective levels. The exact location of the secrets can sometimes vary with level generation. The Soul Sand Valley is considered a "secret secret" because it is hidden behind another secret level (Crimson Forest), which is itself unlocked via a secret.
