Dark Den

Dark Den is an NPC Skill Event in Mewgenics where your cat discovers a dark cave with the musky odor of a large animal resting inside. The Investigate option (Intelligence check) can result in befriending a bear that joins your party as a familiar, making this one of the few events that can add combat companions to your team. Players can also choose to Ignore the den and walk away safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Dark Den event in Mewgenics?

Dark Den is a Skill Event categorized as an NPC encounter where your cat finds an animal's den. Despite being classified under NPC events, the encounter involves befriending a wild animal rather than interacting with a named character.

What stats does the Dark Den event check?

The Dark Den checks Intelligence (INT) for the Investigate option. The Ignore option requires no stat check.

What is the best strategy for the Dark Den event?

If your cat has decent Intelligence, always choose Investigate. The common success outcome befriends a bear that joins your party as a familiar, providing a significant combat advantage for the rest of the run. Bears are powerful familiars that can tank damage and deal solid hits. Only choose Ignore if your cat's INT is very low and you cannot afford the risk of whatever the failure outcome brings. Familiars are one of the most impactful rewards in Mewgenics, making Dark Den a high-priority event.
