The Living City

The Living City is where you unlock heroes, hero paths, permanent buffs, hero specific trinkets, and Signature Inn Items in Darkest Dungeon II. It is located within the Altar of Hope. As you invest Candles of Hope along each hero’s track, their chances at surviving will increase dramatically. Each hero has both unlocks that all heroes share (such as Death Blow Resistance increases) and some unlocks that are specific to only that hero. Each node denotes another unlock. Candles can be spent on a Heroes unlock path even if it is not enough to unlock the next node.
