Stalker Corrupted Dungeon loot runs

Stalker Corrupted Dungeons in red and black zones, entered through an open-world entrance or Antiquarian’s Den.

Before you go

Choose a Stalker entrance and prepare your full set before entering; equipment cannot be swapped inside.
Enter alone and leave the Demonic Shrine unused if you do not want to queue for invasions.
Clear corrupted mobs toward the progress bar, taking miniboss and treasure rewards on the way.
Watch for an invader and stop taking risky pulls while deciding whether to fight or evade.
If you choose to banish, break all three Demonic Shards that appear after the invasion.
Fill progress, summon the demon boss and defeat it once the route is clear.
Open the boss chest, leave and value or sell the loot in town.

Check the current tier soft cap before buying an expensive set; power above the cap is heavily reduced.
Loot can include silver, gear and artifact-enchanting materials; compare the expected value with the replacement cost of your build.

Repeatable: each dungeon is a separate run; chest contents vary and no specific item is guaranteed.

Entering in a set you cannot replace; use a lower cost build until Stalker losses are manageable.
Standing to fight every invader; choose the shard banish route if survival is more valuable.
Following old advice that Infamy makes chests better; current loot no longer scales with Infamy.

Bank after a valuable chest or end the run when hostile pressure or low durability makes another clear a poor risk.
