Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition) – The Chains That Rust

About this expansion

Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition) – The Chains That Rust is a Descent expansion for 2–5 players, released in 2016. It continues the heroes’ perilous journey through the Mistlands, the domain of Waiqar the Undying, where shifting mists, uncertain footing, and terrifying undead make escape increasingly difficult.

This expansion introduces an entirely new one-act campaign. It can be played on its own or as a sequel to the campaign included in Mists of Bilehall, giving groups a new way to experience the heroes’ adventures in the Mistlands.

The dangers of the region are matched by new options for both sides of the conflict. The overlord player gains additional tools through a new Overlord class and new Tainted cards, while eight plastic figures expand the forces of new monsters.

• A new one-act campaign set in the Mistlands
• A campaign playable independently or as a sequel to Mists of Bilehall
• New Tainted cards and an entirely new Overlord class
• Eight plastic figures featuring new monsters
• Hybrid classes that let heroes move beyond their traditional Class decks

For the first time, heroes can stretch beyond their traditional Class decks with the addition of hybrid classes. This expands the possibilities available to them as they confront the expansion’s deadly threats.

In The Chains That Rust, the Mistlands become more than a dangerous setting: they are a force that seems to taint the heroes and bind them to the land. With new campaign content, monsters, cards, classes, and figures, this Descent expansion deepens the struggle to find a way out.
