Darker Ages - Level 5 is the fifth level of the Darker Ages event in Penny's Pursuit. It takes place in Dark Ages, and is very similar to Dark Ages - Night 5. It has new objectives and zombie swaps, similar to other Penny's Pursuit levels.

Difficulty[]

This level is almost identical to its original counterpart. With an increase in zombie level and zombie swaps in later difficulties, this level can be difficult because of those factors.
