Torchlight Infinite is a free-to-play action RPG in the Torchlight series, designed as a cross-platform competitor to Path of Exile and Diablo. The Hero Trait system gives each character class multiple distinct build paths with unique skill modifications. Seasonal leagues rotate every 3 months with new mechanics, keeping the meta fresh. The Pact of Darkness crafting system offers deterministic gear crafting (choose what stats you want) as an alternative to pure RNG. Endgame revolves around the God of Hunting mode with escalating difficulty tiers for the best loot.
Torchlight Infinite features distinct areas with increasing difficulty. This guide covers every major location in progression order — what to do, what to get, and when to move on. For the step-by-step path, see our walkthrough.
