Dungeon Defenders II is set in the fictional world of Etheria, specifically within the Kingdom of Dragonfall. You'll start in Starting from The Private [[Tavern]] or in The Heroes [[Marketplace]], - the outdoor HUB. This is where you'll spend any time not in battle , players will be able to sell, buy, manage, trade, tinker and test any gear you've found in combat. Etheria is head into various locations broken down into playable maps to explore. Each map is an arena with set enemy spawners and objectives to defendby accessing the Wartable.
==ObjectivesWhat does a map contain ==There are two types of Objectives for Heroes to be concerned with. The Main Objectives or Main Cores are defense points on maps that, if destroyed, end the current map. The Sub Objectives or Sub Cores are defense points on maps that, if destroyed, open up a new spawn point for [[Enemies]] in the next wave.
==Main Objective Mechanics==[[File:Red Shield.png|thumb|right]]*Main Objectives can be identified by the spinning red trimmed yellow shield above them.*Main Objectives are marked on the mini-Each map with a red trimmed yellow Shield Icon.[[File:Red Shield Icon.png]]*Main Objectives have a Health Pool. This gets fully healed at the start of each build phase. If the Health Pool is reduced an instance laid out like an arena containing lanes leading to objectives which will be required to 0, the Main Objective is destroyed.*The players lose if the Main Objective is destroyed.*Main Objectives are fixed for each map and wont change.*Main Objectives have the highest target priority for the [[Aggression]] of nearby [[Enemies]]defend.
==Sub Objective Mechanics==[[File:Grey Shield.png|thumb|right]]*Sub Objectives can be identified by the spinning Grey shield above them.'''Lanes'''*Sub Objectives are marked on the mini-map with a Grey Shield Icon.[[File:Grey Shield Icon.png]]*Sub Objectives have This is how most enemies travels within a Health Poolmap.

==* '''Objectives''':Objectives are the main thing to defend in every map of Dungeon Defenders 2. Each core has a specific amount of health, so they can be damaged by enemies. There are two types of objectives - the main core (game over when destroyed) and a sub-objective (opening new lanes or disabling environmental traps when destroyed). Maps==can either contain only main cores or both types of objectives.
