The Valley

"The leaves fall, never to grow again."

- The Narrator

The Valley is the first route that can be traveled in Darkest Dungeon II. It is a dying forest valley that has been shrouded in perpetual mist and darkness, and the first leg of the player's journey after they leave their home. It is used as a tutorial segment, and unlike other routes, its encounters are fixed instead of random.

Encounters

 * The Crossroads
 * The Altar of Hope
 * The Academic's Cache
 * The Desperate Few
 * The Hoarder
 * The Inn: The Torch & Crown

Narrator Quotes

 * Alternate quotes when first starting The Valley:
 * "When you are ready, this rutted roadway will finally take you home..."
 * "This place was beautiful once... what a pity."
 * "The leaves fall, never to grow again."
