If anything I found it easy to focus on my heroes’ abilities and forget to use combat items. There’s no need to be precious with consumables in Darkest Dungeon 2. Use your damn items! (And keep 1 inventory slot open.) If you notice two heroes’ negative relationship meter getting high, it’s worth it to lower their stress levels and look for consumables to improve their affinity at the next inn. Positive relationships are fragile, whereas negative relationships are quite difficult to reverse. Some of the negative relationships are “Resentful,” “Tumultuous,” and “Hateful.” These result in negative status effects, as well as a high chance of stress gain between both parties. Positive relationships include “Amorous,” “Respectful,” or “Inseparable,” and contribute buffs, combat assists, and surprise heals, again mostly at the behest of RNG. When it maxes out, positive or negative, it forms a bond between the two heroes in question. Combat actions, overt choices, and the ever-present RNG contribute to a relationship meter between each member of your party. Stress builds on stress snowballing into greater catastrophe, with one of the most important consequences being your party’s group dynamic. Any idle character that does not participate in an activity or join on an expedition will also have their stress level reduced by 5.When it rains in Darkest Dungeon 2, it pours. Leaving a hero at these facilities costs gold, and will make them unavailable for the next expedition (sometimes longer if the character goes rogue and chooses to stay on), but will significantly reduce their levels. Returning to the hamlet in Darkest Dungeon will return their levels back down to 100 if they had exceeded that number, though afflictions will remain until that character participates in a recreational activity at the tavern or the abbey. Obviously, this is not ideal, unless you were hoping to thin out your roster a little. At 200 stress, the character will suffer a heart attack and arrive on death’s door. It increases as your party continues deeper into the horrors that wait below, and when it reaches 100, they will may spiral towards madness and gain a negative affliction. Stress is one of the most unique features of Darkest Dungeon.
