Daimon Blades – How to Safely Exit Expeditions

Learn how to properly exit an expedition in Daimon Blades and actually keep all your loot. Stop losing progress by quitting to the main menu and find out the secret to bailing on a run safely.

The struggle is real in Daimon Blades. You’re deep in an expedition, your inventory is full of amazing loot, and real life calls. The game’s tooltip helpfully says you can exit the expedition to keep your stuff, but the button is literally nowhere to be found.

If you’re pulling your hair out trying to figure out how to leave a run without losing everything, you’re not alone. This guide spills the tea on how the exit system actually works so you can avoid taking a major L.

How to Safely Exit Expeditions

First off, let’s get the most important warning out of the way. Whatever you do, do not just quit to the main menu or close the game, thinking it will save your run. It won’t. This is the fastest way to lose every single item and all the progress you made during that expedition.

The Big Misconception: Don’t Quit to Menu

It feels like it should work, right? But the game is not designed that way. The “Exit to Main Menu” option in the pause menu is basically an “Abandon Run” button. It’s a hard reset for your current expedition.

  • Quitting to the Main Menu: You will lose all your progress and loot from the current run.
  • Closing the Game: You will lose all your progress and loot from the current run.
  • The only safe way: You must use the specific “Exit Expedition” prompt that appears inside the run itself.

The Real Answer: You Have to Reach Zone 5

So, where is this magic button? The big secret is that the option to exit an expedition safely isn’t available right away. You have to prove yourself first. The option to leave with your loot will only become available once you have successfully cleared several combat zones and reached Zone 5. Before that, you’re locked in. The developers want you to risk it for the biscuit. You can’t just jump in, grab one piece of loot, and bail.

How the Exit Option Appears

Once you hit Zone 5, you’ll see the option pop up in the safe area between combat zones. It appears on the same screen where you select your next reward or choose which path to take. The game’s confusing tooltip is actually telling the truth, but it just shows up way too early and causes a ton of confusion for new players. Once you’re deep enough into the expedition, you’ll finally see a clear button or prompt that lets you safely end your run.

Is The Exit Option Guaranteed?

Here’s where it gets a little fuzzy. Most players agree that the option reliably appears in Zone 5. However, some have suggested that it might be a random chance to appear in the safe zones after that point. The general consensus is to just push for Zone 5. If you can make it that far, you should have your ticket out. Anything before that, and you’re better off just fighting until you either die or beat the final mentor boss after 10 levels, which automatically ends the expedition and gives you your loot.

To make it super clear, here’s a quick breakdown of what to do and what not to do.

ActionResultWhen It Happens

So, next time you jump into an expedition in Daimon Blades, just know you’re in it for at least a few zones. Plan your time accordingly, push for Zone 5, and you’ll be able to cash out your hard-earned rewards without any stress. Happy looting!
