Hero Paths

Each Hero has up to 4 potential paths to choose from. Paths act as specializations that imbue heroes with wildly different strengths and weaknesses, influencing how each hero is played.

Paths are unlocked for use at the Altar of Hope. Once unlocked, they can be manually assigned at The Crossroads when assembling a party.

Wanderer
At the start of the game all heroes will have the path Wanderer. This path doesn't have any modifier and is considered to be the default path. Playing Wanderer will give extra candles to the player.

Unique Hero Paths
Each Hero has 3 Paths unique to them. Listed below are all the unique Paths included in Darkest Dungeon II.

Deleted Heroe Paths
Before the Altar of Hope update, Heroe paths were random and cannot be choosed. Two now deleted hero paths were available which were shared by all heroes called Apprentice and Master.
