Trinkets (Darkest Dungeon II)

"'Such power in such a little thing.'

- The Academic"

Trinkets Description
Trinkets are items that are able to be equipped by Heroes in Darkest Dungeon II. They can alter a Hero's stats and abilities to improve or modify their playstyle. Trinkets can be found, bought, or earned through Region Goals. Some have specific requirements for finding which are listed below. Certain Trinkets may have Tags associated with them, which can be paired with other Trinkets to create powerful synergies.

Unless otherwise specified, all trinkets must be unlocked at the Altar of Hope in The Working Fields.

Trinket Rarity Types:


 * Indelible
 * Unforgettable
 * Distant
 * Vague

Unforgettable Trinkets
Unforgettable Trinkets can only be found from Cultist encounters in any region. They can be used on any hero.

Stained Trinkets
Otherwise known as Dark Impulses, these can be paired with Cultist Trinkets for powerful results. Dark Impulses are unlocked individually through the Altar of Hope. All Dark Impulses share an identical icon and name.

1: Due to the stress gained from hitting Death's Door, this trinket will deal 1 damage to a hero once their health reaches 0 and potentially killing them instantly. Use extreme caution when equipping this.

Academic's Study Trinkets
Can only be found in Academic's Study nodes. Each Academic Study trinket can only be dropped from a specific Curio found in the Study. Some Curio can be found in all regions and some are region specific. Academic's Study Trinkets can be used on any hero.

History
On June 28th, 2022, Darkest Dungeon 2 had a massive overhaul to each and every Trinket in the game. According to the patch notes, the goal of this overhaul was "to allow players to get more creative and push hero boundaries further via strategy-altering effects (...) we've put a lot of effort into also making sure that trinkets are fun, and thematically rich." -RedHookNatisha - DARKEST DUNGEON II - TRINKETS AND BAUBLES

Trivia

 * The Hag's Hoard Trinket is a reference to The Hag from Darkest Dungeon.
 * Hero Trinkets (with the exception of Bounty Hunter's and some of Leper's) are all references to the Hero's Shrine backstories.
 * Occultist's Shambler's Eye Trinket is likely to be dropped by the Shambler if the Trinket is unlocked and an Occultist is in the party.
