- In this guide, I will cover all the basics of the game with as many visual aids as I can. The game has a lot of complexity and several elements aren't readily apparent in how they operate. Ideally this video will help new players not get so overwhelmed when starting out. Several of the topics will be fleshed out further in future guides.

![NEW PLAYER'S GUIDE: What Heroes Are Strongest Right Out The Gate? A TIER LIST [Darkest Dungeon 2]](/img/1.gif)
Guide me, Master.
Masta, dobi must know
Daddy, you mean
Hold up. Let me catch up as well.
As someone who played the first DD a crap ton but hasn’t followed the development of DD2 and has no clue what changes were coming, this was SUPER helpful!! Thank you 🙏
Shuff, just want to say I think you’re one of the best guide-makers/content creators in the indie game RUclips world. Your DD1 vids helped me out so much, looking forward to all the DD2 content to come!
Thank you!
Big agree
Honestly, that wagon turn setting tip is low key the best one.
I didn’t know about it when I started the demo, and it made driving the battle bus feel like I was playing a 3rd party Mario Kart game on the Wii.
Can't wait to watch all of these new player guides despite playing throughout the entire early access :)
Same lol
I learned nothing (because I have like 400 hours in the game already) but liking and commenting for Shuff's algorithm
As someone who gets maybe 8 hours of gaming time per week at most, I don't know that I would have understood DD1 enough to really enjoy it without your content. I'm looking forward to diving into DD2 with your guidance in hand!
Amazing guide Shuff 💕 haven't played DD2 in a hot minute but your guides are sparking up my excitement for it again, can't wait for more!
The game is getting better and better, I am impressed. This video was also very cool, because I missed some of the updates, thanks Shuff!
brother let me tell you, i been playing DD2 since release and im so glad to find you because i havent even been able to win chapter two but with the help of your guides now im a power machine so yeah thats all for now, when i beat the game imma let you know!! thanks for everything and keep it up!
CMIIW, but at the Hero Shrine segment in the Nodes chapter, you state that you only get Mastery if you interact with a hero that's already completed their story chapters. I recall this isn't true - You also get Mastery if you complete a story chapter successfully (It is never worth selecting a story-complete hero over an ongoing one, basically).
Oops! You're right lol
Been holding off on buying it till release and i already am so much more ready than i was in dd1 when i first found your channel
I watched this. I still lost. Obviously a terrible guide. Totally not a skill issue.
Kidding. Good video mate 👍👍
Overconfidence is the issue
Even though I beat DD1 on blood moon with no one dying, DD2 changed so much stuff around that this was very helpful!
I bought DD2 when it came out but played for only a few minutes before going back to the first one (which I played like crazy and still occasionally pull all-nighters). Started playing DD2 last night again and was totally lost in the mechanics. I really appreciate this guide, dude!
Thank you very much Shuffle, just bought the game on Steam release and I'll need a lot of your insight.
My first run, I got syphilis.
Thank you for the video!
Just downloaded the game yesterday, this really helps
Thanks for this. I bought DD2 a year ago but my computer at that time just couldn't run it. I've since upgraded and was completely lost after playing hundreds of hours of DD1. This guide is super helpful.
Thanks, looking forward to this and the game ofc :)
I've been following your DD2 content since you started making them and I wasn't super thrilled in the beginning and figured I'd just stick with DD1. As the release approaches and I'm seeing how things have been finalized (though still subject to change) I'm a lot more hopeful, just wish listed the game on Steam and can't wait to rage when my Chad Leper misses three attacks in a row but now in DD2
Youre the best shuff! I love all your dd1 guides. Im in the military and deployed, all i have is my nintendo switch to play dd1. But i cant wait to have my computer again to get dd2 and use ur guides!!
Great video, tons of usefull infos, thanks ! :)
Great Guide, thank you for this video! 😊
Have been frustrated with DD2, still enjoy the first game more. The slow burn and steady long campaign instead of the fast paced rogue like style. But gonna go at it woth this new insight and see if I can get further.
Ya I needed this. I played DD2 practically all night just dumping candles into the characters I setup with. But ya I didn't know what was going on for a lot of stuff.
Shuffle and I go way back, you can trust this fella
great video, thanks
thanks for the tips!
Shuffle, can I recommend doing a "mastery point" guide of sorts?
For example, skill priority to invest for each hero, or what to do with your first few mastery points in the run..
I feel like some skills only shine when upgraded and some beginners might overlook it
I keep dying at the mountain, this guide will be most helpful!!
Absorb the knowledge my friends, for wisdom is power and Shuffle is big brain.
This is actually pretty good guide
Such a comprehensive video - really well done, I was super keen to get into this game but by Gosh it was just straight confusion the first few runs - not sure if its worth a mention but the final bosses do not have death door checks
Although I just played Resentment who entered Death's Door! Now I'm confused, I'm sure the other four don't Death's Door
I’m looking this up in the middle of a run at the end of the tangle with my occultist, Sarmenti, Dismas, on deaths door with bleed, each having resisted like 3 checks each with Baldwin being the sole reason I’m still alive.
Hope you lived lol
Hope they add new regions and a bunch of enemies down the road.
Also, long shot, but place where you leave the wagon.
awesome video.
Great video, always love your DD stuff. You touched a little on it at the end, but does the general rule of burn down the back ranks first still apply to DD2?
Most of the time, but not all :)
I still say that we should have frosbite damage, especially on the mountain
I would say about quirks is that not all negatives are bad and some positives are not fully good and mainly depends on the hero(
The art omg
It`s my first time playing dd2, and honestly if i need to see a 30 minutes video to know how damage works, what are some symbols and in general whats happening, definitely they are doing something wrong, anyway, thanks fort that guide
At mark 13:05, I love it when you delete candles in your inventory, in a new player guide video :-)
Oh no I didn't see that lol. My altar is maxed so I don't need to hold them
I don't know why I find myself watching these videos even though I'm not a new player
Hello, amazing guide. Where did you get these icons? I'm thinking to make a guide on my language too.
The wiki and the game files. I have people who help me sometimes.
wanted to ask, is there any reason for me to go back and do previous confessions again? Can't see any reason to redo denial tho it's an option, wanted to know if there was any benefit? Love your videos man, you helped me out a ton when I wanted to get into darkest dungeon :)
For fun or candle farming mostly. Thanks for watching :)
I've found a bunch of trinkets but the game never lets me equip them. Are trinkets only for one expedition?
So do stackable tokens (block, Dodge) start decaying after 3 turns of inactive use? Or just 3 turns no matter what? I assume the game also prioritises use of the oldest applied token? Maybe I’m confusing myself.
If nothing triggers them they decay after 3 turns. The game keeps track of the oldest ones :)
Biggest tip: everyone likes flapjacks
Hey, i got noob question, so trinkets and skill mastery (upgrades) resets for every adventure? u dont keep anything between new confessions? like hero quirks and stuff? Im kinda lost with that, in DD1 u kept your heroes and u were working on their skills and stuff, and here everything resets and u just do upgrades with candles? thats the only permanent upgrade? or im missing something?
You keep hero quirks if you give them a memory at the altar. Rest of it doesn't keep since it's a roguelite.
That's one thing I liked in DD1 more. You keep your trinkets, build your class and then go on your adventure.
@@K70_K50 same here
Can you answer me this, I killed the lair boss in the forest area I got his head but then died in the next encounter and I can't see his head to equip to my stage coach. I got the achievement for killing him and everything, did I not recover the item because I didn't make it to the inn afterwards? I'm pissed.
Items like trinkets, trophies (like the head of a boss), and stagecoach items are lost between runs.
How do you heal stress in the game? Are there any specific items I can use?
Skills usually require you to be over 5 stress. Other than that, crits sometimes heal stress, and there are a couple of combat items. Mineral water and laudunum.
@@ShuffleFM thank you! I thought I had to heal in the inn!, and I hope this isn't annoying but how do you keep the stage couch light up? It's a bit clunky UI with console
I'm still chopping away at the first Darkest Dungeon when I picked up Darkest Dungeon 2. DD2 is certainly a departure from the first. Certainly seems harder than the first so far.
do you need to dodge the debris on the road?
It's the opposite actually. Make sure to hit it for items :)
Hey shuffle have question,are kills cumulative in the first two farmstead missions I keep losing my party on the second one.😢
Nah kills don't carry over
@@ShuffleFM what's a good party for the second one then
@@douglaslove8976 Something with highwayman and if you have shieldbreaker you can take her too. Guard break and riposte helps deal with reaping spam
@@ShuffleFM ty sir
I think I need to buy this game
i did and i’m already obsessed
I hope theres mod support
Are you locked to the same team of heroes for an entire run?
only way to swap hereos in the middle of the run is if they die they get swapped for a random hero when you reach the next inn.
@@Rikhard9 To clarify I mean for the whole campaign. In DD1 you recruited heroes and leveled them all up to get to the end goal. Are you stuck with the same 4 for the entire thing in DD2, and its shifted more towards roguelike style? (Sorry if I misunderstood you)
You have the same team for a few hours. From the crossroads to the mountain, unless you die ahead of time or abandon the run.
Good guide albeit with quite a few incorrect info bits
If you have less than 5 examples you have to delete this comment lol
I did the intro valley route after the prologue 5 times before I figured out that you had to choose a path. I kept ending the campaign 😅
I love this game so much but I suck donkey wiener at it. Hit me up with that good shit man
Fantastic Guide. I was getting my ass kicked
May I have a hug?
Reynauld, Noooooo! 😢
Great Guide this came can be hazy at first if you never played.
I bought the game shit insanely cool 😎 👌
3:40
Lady Bonk
Me still on my first Hamlet of DD1 no mods no DLC:
I guess I’m learning DD2 👍
Imo dd1 progression feels a but better but i haven't played dd2 enough.
It's a real shame that I can't play Crusader anymore.
Shuff, hurry up and Stimulating Poultice the world so 1.0 comes faster! I want to play now!
You briefly mention stress but don't do into the mechanics of dealing with it at all. Biggest change for me from DD1 has been the stress management.
Stress mechanics suck at the moment sadly. Basically want to have jester or MAA, heal people at 5+. There are other ways to handle it like items and wagon gear, or use heroes like leper and hellion to taunt and soak it up since they can remove it easily. Dismas with take aim and grape shot can be a decent stress healer as well. Vestal is another one with sanctuary.
@ShuffleFM thanks for tips. The only heroes I have with skills that can reduce stress are MAA and Jester, I just find it a little disappointing having to use them all the time.
I bought this game but I'm scared to play because I'm going to end up breaking something. Some wise guy from the comment section please give me the most overpowered tip.
Learn from the deaths
@@f4cele553 I finished the game. Every life.... is a lesson.
Game still runs like shit on my acer nitro laptop :(
I’m still sad about BH…
Oh... the game does not explain the Sluice at all.. I did not realise that shit was free
So I got DD2 for the Switch and I feel it will take me some time to get used to the mechanics since it's quite different to DD1 which I've spent 400+ hours in. Change can be daunting but it can also be good. So I'm here for guidance. :)
New player top tip - pester your local red hook developer about adding musketeer until they do.
I really wish they'd remove BH from just the inn, I've played all of EA and I don't think I've used him once.
DD2 has the WORST tutorial of any game I’ve played (and I have over 1000 hours into DD1).
This guide was invaluable! Even still, not enjoying 2 as much as 1.
idk I feel like DD2 is a rogue-lite per definition of the term, but sure.
As someone who has only about 5-6 hours in the game and is still learning how to beat Denial, it's really annoying to see a lot of environments and enemies from later in the game. I'm not saying you should label anything with spoiler alerts. Make new players feel engaged and help them know you're showing them content they can beat from the Sprawl or the Tangle. Thanks
"First RH, now Mr. 'NeverPunished' ShuffleFM pandering to these skill issue players smh"
Wish this game didn’t come out ON A MONDAY
