Soda Dungeon 2 Essence Farming Guide

Soda Dungeon 2 Essence farming guide will help you to maximize Essence per hour gain in both Early Dimensions and Warrior’s Dimension. This will help you to grow your relics and boost your progress.

What is Essence in Soda Dungeon 2

Essence is a resource that you use to level up relics and for some rare quest. It is essential to improve your essence flow as soon as possible to progress fast and grow your relics.

There are several ways to get Essence in Soda Dungeon 2: Dungeon, Fountain, Arena and quests. In this guide we wont talk about quests since they offer only one-time rewards, but we will cover all other ways of earning the essence.

Soda Dungeon 2 Essence Farming in Early Dimensions

When you are just starting out it is very important to understand how the game works, so you wont waste time on useless activities, that will be done as you go or wont benefit you at all.

For early Dimensions your goal is to progress as fast as possible, so dont waste time farming gold, mining or getting your classes to level 50. All this work will go in vain, because you can do it later way faster.

In order to farm essence properly at the early dimensions most importantly you want to get the right Scripts for your team. Read Soda Dungeon 2 Scripts Guide to get help on that. With proper scripts your team might progress from the level 1 straight to the Dimension boss (level 600-700), at least it happened for me.

If you still want to do some essence or Gold Farming runs – here is a sample team that will help you with that.

Thief will be stealing Essences from the enemies, Mystic will regenerate mana for the teammates and Nurse will keep everyone alive. Even if your characters havent reached level 25 yet, use them in order to get them closer to that goal, you will need it later anyway.

For Damage slot you can use either Carpenters or Mystics, depending on what works better for you. Main goal is to kill enemy group in 1 turn, before they will have a chance to strike back, or at least try to. Dont forget that our goal is to go through levels as fast as possible.

Other than that, there is no need to optimize your team too much for farming, you want to get through the Campaign as fast as possible to get to the Warriors Dimension and start the real deal farming.

Soda Dungeon 2 Essence Farming in Warrior’s Dimension

Farming Essence in Warrior’s Dimension is really different from everything you’ve been through before in Soda Dungeon 2. You want to optimize your team for fastest kills of enemy groups and not dying to the ambushes and waves.

Depending on where you are in the Warrior’s Dimension tactics might be different, for latest stages you would like to focus on character strength instead of Gold and Essence bonuses. But lets talk about basics.

Warrior’s Dimension Essence Farming Team

For the basic advises on team building here, check Soda Dungeon 2 Warrior’s Dimension Guide.

You would want to have Thief with you at all times for Ransacking the Essence from the enemies. If you already dropped Mystic and running low on mana remove Boss Ransacking from the scripts. This will allow your Thief to only Ransack essence enemies and do nothing else.

Rest of the team composition is up to you, just make sure that your guys arent dying and have mana for skills.

As for the equipment, at the Early WD areas Essence Magnets are doing fantastic job at boosting the amount of essences you can get from the run.
Rest of the gear should be either + Gold Gain or something that will help you to progress further.

Keep in mind that Essence Magnets only increase the chance of Essence Mobs appearing, so they are extremely useful if you can find them and spare an accessory slot.

For overall Essence gain boost you want to upgrade the Gnomes to the max level.

How Soda Dungeon 2 Essence works (mechanics overview)

Here is how essence works in Soda Dungeon 2:

• Every percent of essence find increases the chance of an enemy having essence.
• Only one enemy can have essence per dungeon level and it is always the first (furthest up) enemy.
• If you have 100 essence find you will find an enemy with essence on each floor.
• The base amount of essence enemy drops depends on the rank of the enemy: Normal = 1 essence; Miniboss = 2 essence; Boss = 3 essence
• A glitch that seems to make litteral dungeon bosses have essence but hides the pink glowing effect=500 essence altough I am not sure if this might just be a price for defeating one of the dungeon bosses, it happened only once
• Janitors cannot have essence.
• Every 200 levels essence drop per enemy get increased by 1 essence. This can infinitely stack.
• Every 7000 gold you throw into the well will give you 1 essence.
