Squid Coast, once a thriving town, is burning thanks to the evil and his minions. Follow them through the area – and make haste, for the Villagers are in need of you. Since it is the first level, we wanted to show what the effects are on a peaceful area and show the player what could happen to the world unless they do something."

After completing or skipping the tutorial, Squid Coast's mission marker is visible from the mission selection map when alone and set to the default difficulty. The marker is not viable during online multiplayer with other heroes present, or when the difficulty is set to Adventure or Apocalypse.

Upon defeating the Arch-Illager for the first time, an obsidian chest is accessible from a windmill building found when turning right turn from the skeleton bridge, but it usually drops only emeralds and rarely a fishing rod or fireworks arrow. There are also two common chests within this mission, one behind a house and the other on a floating island.

Trivia

 * The area at the end of the Squid Coast becomes the camp after the mission is completed or skipped.
 * In the loading screen, two pillagers can be seen, however pillagers do not appear anywhere within the mission.
