Nestled in the idyllic Austrian Alps, Hinterberg became the world’s hottest new tourist destination after dozens of magical dungeons appeared overnight. Today, the town attracts slayers from around the world to conquer them all, including our main character Luisa, a burnt-out law trainee taking a break from corporate life. Welcome to the Dungeons of Hinterberg, a hack-and-slash puzzle game developed by Microbird Games.
Besides clearing dungeons and defeating monsters, a huge part of the game is befriending the inhabitants and tourists around Hinterberg. When you reach friendship milestones, you’ll unlock permanent character buffs and special quests. However, each character has their own requirements, perks, and even favourite gifts!
Important note about gifts: Gifts are a great way to speed up the process, but make sure to wait at least one in-game day after giving the gift in order to skip one interaction (either a milestone or a quest).
With that, here’s a master guide on how to max out your relationships with every character in Dungeons of Hinterberg, sorted in alphabetical order!
