Which Gloomhaven Scenarios Lock You Out Of Other Scenarios?
For the storyline in Gloomhaven to make logical sense, some scenarios must have specific conditions for them to become available. In this manner, dead characters can’t give you quests, your party can’t complete scenarios that require privileged information they don’t have, and places you haven’t discovered yet remain hidden.
You will have to choose which Gloomhaven scenarios you want to complete and in which order. Some scenarios are mutually exclusive (either the one or the other), and some you can only do if you haven’t completed another.
The following scenarios are mutually exclusive from one another:
- Gloomhaven Warehouse (8) and Diamond Mine (9).
- Gloomhaven Square A (11) and Gloomhaven Square B (12).
- Infernal Throne (21) and Gloomhaven Battlements B (36).
- Gloomhaven Battlements A (35) and Gloomhaven Battlements B (36). You can do both scenarios if you first do the Gloomhaven Battlements A (35) scenario.
- Timeworn Tomb (41) and Realm of the Voice (42).
- Rebel’s Stand (49) and Ghost Fortress (50).
Completing some scenarios in a particular order allows you to embark on them all if you wish, depending on how you would like your story to proceed. Many people want to complete all the possible scenarios, and having the possibility to complete them removed may be frustrating to them. In some cases, completing them all might also give you better access to rewards and specific achievements.
The following groups of scenarios can only all successfully be explicitly done in their given order:
- Inox Encampment (3) before Gloomhaven Warehouse (8).
- Gloomhaven Battlements A (35) before Infernal Throne (21).
- Plane of Elemental Power (10) before Gloomhaven Battlements B (36).
- Plane of Elemental Power (10), Infernal Throne (21), Gloomhaven Battlements A (35), and Gloomhaven Battlements B (36) before Ruinous Rift (27).
- Decrepit Wood (32) and Ancient Defense Network (40) before Realm of the Voice (42).
- Completing the Savvas Armory (33) scenario before the Scorched Summit (34) and Realm of the Voice (42) scenarios allows you to complete all of them.
- If you wish to complete all the Gloomhaven Square A (11), Gloomhaven Battlements A (35), and Rebel Swamp (45) scenarios, you will do them in this order.
