The Tangle



"War rewards only resignation."

- The Academic

The Tangle is one of the routes that can be traveled in Darkest Dungeon II.

A sprawling military camp that stretches as far as the eye can see, The Tangle is filled with trenches, barracks, and supplies. Tasked with battling the cultists which spread from the Mountain, the Lost Battalion was cursed. The soldiers fell into a deep, dreamless sleep, from which there was no escape.
