Spreading the investment keeps things cheap. Grabbing a couple of each item upgrade is smart.IMPORTANT: Everything in a given category gets more expensive as you invest! Spread the points around where they'll be most useful.There will be one on the official DD discord I imagine. Find a fully unlocked save file online.(Don't take fights you know you'll lose.)
If your run is strong enough, killing multiple Lair bosses is also a way to get more candles. Candles are also offered at random locations (signified by the candle icon), but I would recommend against taking bad paths just for one candle. These are easy to forget, so try to make a habit of checking. Check hero goals (bottom left icon) for actions to take that will reward candles. For example, take regions with mastery bonuses instead of candles. Succeeding an entire runs tends to be more valuable than being greedy for candle opportunities. Generally speaking, the further a run gets, the more candles you'll gain. You will gather candles as you play and cannot lose them. All unlocks (except hero abilities) are done using Candles. This FAQ will include light spoilers, so please keep that in mind before reading on. This FAQ is perfect for folks who know the basics, but want to learn how to win!. If you want to learn the absolute basics, read the in-game tutorials. This FAQ does NOT include the basic mechanics of how Darkest Dungeon 2 works (combat, relationships, etc). How do I beat a certain hero shrine chapter?. I will also probably create a seperate guide for chapter bosses. If there's anything missing here, it's probably omitted for brevity. I wanted to make my answers easily available to anyone who might be overwhelmed or struggling with the new content. Preface: Hi /r/darkestdungeon! I wrote this guide to help cover a lot of the common questions I got from new players to Darkest Dungeon 2.
