Each region is gated by an Alpha boss.
Dinoblade's world is divided into distinct biomes, each ruled by a ferocious Alpha predator. The Dry Canyons opening is fully verified from hands-on routing. The later regions are confirmed by Steam achievement data, player reports and the July 25 full-release verification pass, but room-by-room walkthroughs for Canyon, Grasslands and later areas still need screenshot capture.
