How to Unlock Warren Continent in NTE (v1.2 Story Requirement)

The official Warren Continent unlock path

Warren Continent opens through Version 1.2’s main-story episode, “Fighting with a Dragon.” The official requirements are:

1. Complete Dreamwalk Corridor.
2. Reach Hunter Level 26.
3. Continue through Fighting with a Dragon until the story opens the new location.

There is no separate shop item, redeem code, or limited-event task listed as the unlock method. If Warren Continent is not available, use the main-story tracker to see whether the previous chapter or Hunter Level gate is still incomplete.

A quick pre-unlock checklist

• Check that Dreamwalk Corridor shows as complete in your story progress.
• Check your Hunter Level; it must be 26 or higher.
• Open the main-story menu and select Fighting with a Dragon once it becomes available.
• Follow the active objective rather than trying to enter Warren Continent directly from the map.

The in-game quest tracker is the best way to identify your exact missing step, especially if localized quest names differ slightly after an update.

Do not mix this up with Shinku’s board requirement

Shinku’s Version 1.2 board had a different early-story condition: Prologue – A New Destination – Head to Eibon Antique Shop. That requirement only governs access to that board; it is not the Warren Continent unlock.

For a patch-wide view of what else Version 1.2 added after you reach the new area, see the v1.2 feature checklist. New to the game? The beginner guide and farming guide can help you turn your current daily progress into the Hunter Level requirement.

Source and verification

This guide uses the official Version 1.2 “999 Nights” Patch Notes, checked July 22, 2026. The patch notes confirm the prerequisite chapter, Hunter Level, story episode, and Warren Continent unlock; the in-game quest tracker remains the final source for an individual account’s progress.
