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.

Dry Canyons — the verified opening

Canyon — early full-release expansion
The Canyon region opens after the Dry Canyons route. Achievement data and video cross-checks confirm SHIELD → HAMU → TANK as the boss order here. The Canyon Cleaver and Fossil Mauler legendary weapon detours are in this region. Health Ore collection also has a Canyon checklist pass. Exact save stone positions and room-by-room routing still need screenshot capture.

Health OresGrasslands — midgame jungle
The Grasslands region follows Canyon in the progression framework. MOAUSE THE TITAN → STICK → SPEED is the confirmed boss order. Amber Fang legendary weapon route is in the Jungle Depths. Grasslands Health Ore collection is a separate checklist pass before late-game boss cleanup.
MOAUSE THE TITAN
Titan / aerial-style midgame boss.
Boss indexSTICK
Parry-focused boss tied to PARRYSAURI.
Boss indexSPEED
Forest-speed encounter; short punishes.

Health OresLate-game and endgame regions
The late-game cluster covers KETSURO → HORN → REAPER & SHADE → DOSEI THE GIANT CLAW. The endgame includes AKATSUKI (special/hidden boss) and RED ASH. These regions need longer strings, stricter healing discipline and fewer safe heavy attacks. Boss Rush unlocks after the final boss.
Regional progression framework
Use this as the high-level route map. Each region unlocks after defeating its Alpha boss. Collectibles (Health Ores, legendary weapons, Ghost Summons) may require backtracking to earlier regions.
KIRA → AXE → KASEI. Starter weapon, Red Souls, Heal Ore +1, first build decisions.
