Night of the Raven

Bramble Birds — Map 2/5

Night of the Raven

Darkness hides more than it shows.

Night of the Raven

Night of the Raven swaps daylight for a darkness that closes in around you, lit only by your own glow, a few drifting fireflies, and the will-o'-the-wisps that drift in from deeper in the dark.

Moths flutter in from the edges, spiders still drop from the ceiling, and bats wake up mid-air to dive straight at you once they've flashed their flight path.

Hazard: Darkness closes in around you — only your glow, the fireflies and the wisps light the way.

Moth

Flutters through the dark — once she lights up white, she dives straight for your glow.

Bat enemy in Night of the Raven

Bat

Sleeps hanging from the ceiling, then wakes and flashes its flight path a beat before diving.

Spider enemy in Night of the Raven

Spider

Hangs from the ceiling, trembles for a beat, then drops on its thread right as you pass underneath.

Will-o'-the-wisp enemy in Night of the Raven

Will-o'-the-wisp

Difficulty

Every map, including Night of the Raven, has the same 4 difficulty tiers.

Night of the Raven — difficulty tiers
Difficulty Rules
Easy No extra rules.
Medium Enemies get +25% health, the shop costs 25% more, and each wall gets one more spike.
Hard On top of that: more enemies at once, one less heart to start, and bugs move 20% faster.
Hell On top of that: the nest heals half as much, and the boss has +50% health and attacks more often.

Hell is the final difficulty tier, unlocked once all five maps have been beaten on Hard. It stacks on every earlier rule: the nest heals half as much, and the boss has 50% more health and attacks more often.

Endless mode

Endless mode unlocks by beating a map in Story mode (the first map is open from the start). Once you down the boss, the waves never stop — every fifth one brings back a tougher boss.
