Darkest Dungeon 2 doesn’t pull its punches, but with the right approach and tactics you can push through the madness. In this beginner’s guide I’ll share 14 tips and tricks to help you survive both the Confessions mode with its steep difficulty curve, and the Darkest Dungeon 1 inspired Kingdoms mode that has just been bolstered by a horde of bloodsuckers thanks to the Curse of the Court update.

So whether you’re just starting out or returning to check out the new update, this guide will show you how to build stronger heroes, spend upgrades wisely, and keep your team alive when things get tough. I'll also go over everything from party composition and stress management, to stagecoach upgrades and shrine unlocks - along with advice on how to manage relationships, when use combat items effectively, and how to set up your inns so they can withstand the mosquito apocalypse.

So get ready to swat some mosquito aristocrats, or mosquitocrats if you will, and let's make sure you start off Darkest Dungeon 2 on the right foot.
