Progress Netherrealm maps at a sustainable Timemark
Build reliable map access and character strength before committing to harder farming.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Progress Netherrealm maps at a sustainable Timemark
Netherrealm map device and its available Timemarks, after the campaign and Netherrealm introduction quests.
Before you go
- Complete the campaign and unlock Netherrealm.
- Follow the introduction objectives that open mapping.
- Have enough map access to continue after a failed or slow run.
Farming steps
- Choose the lowest available progression objective shown by the Netherrealm quest route.
- Open a map at the current Timemark and complete its marked encounters.
- Defeat the regional boss when the objective calls for it.
- Return to the progression NPC after an objective completes and read the next task.
- Keep track of ordinary enemy time, deaths, boss reliability, and resources consumed.
- Try the next difficulty only when those measures remain manageable.
- Return to the comfortable tier if the harder version interrupts the map loop.
- Treat unlock runs and farming runs as different goals; the best progression map need not be your regular farm.
- Use a boss you already understand to judge readiness, rather than assuming map clear speed predicts boss success.
Repeat, collect and use
Progression objectives are completed in sequence; comfortable maps can be repeated while gathering upgrades and access materials.
Common mistakes
- Pushing difficulty because it is unlocked: go back when slow kills or deaths make runs unreliable.
- Spending all map access on a progression attempt: reserve enough access to resume farming afterward.
When to stop or switch
Stop raising difficulty when bosses or ordinary encounters become inconsistent; upgrade the bottleneck, then test again.
