DARKEST DUNGEON II
60+ Trinkets And Items - DarkestCat1d4
SO MANY TRINKETS & ITEMS
30+ Hero Trinkets
15+ New Trinkets
New Combat Items, And New Enemies And Secrets
This Mod Was 5 months in the Making, I didn't wanna spoil too much in the images, so have fun.
The Fire’s Edge, the first new Darkest Dungeon DLC since 2020, is now live! This DLC includes two heroes, The Runaway and The Duelist, who made their debut in Darkest Dungeon II, a new combat mechanic, unique trinkets, plus 3 more Districts. The team has always been interested in
The Fire’s Edge, the first new Darkest Dungeon DLC since 2020, is now live! This DLC includes two heroes, The Runaway and The Duelist, who made their debut in Darkest Dungeon II, a new combat mechanic, unique trinkets, plus 3 more Districts.
The team has always been interested in backporting The Runaway and The Duelist to the original Darkest Dungeon, and with the game celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, it seemed like the perfect time to add something new!
Each new hero has their own unique style of gameplay: The Duelist is able to dance between ranks, while freely maintaining Riposte as she switches between two combat stances, whereas The Runaway makes use of Burn, a combat mechanic unique to her class. And don’t worry about finding room for these new additions! The Runaway and The Duelist will each expand your roster by 1 slot. The Fire’s Edge also adds a number of Trinkets with all new mechanics including Trinkets that come charged with powerful limited effects, or ones that transform through use as you complete your expeditions. Rounding out this update are some new town events, and 3 new Districts for your Hamlet: the Academie Duello, Craftworks, and Archaeological Base Camp, which offer new bounties such as weekly Heirlooms and Trinkets, as well as damage boosts to heroes.
You can purchase The Fire’s Edge now: View game pageModding
The game has been in a stable place for several years now, so we were careful to approach The Fire’s Edge in a way that would not interfere with existing mods. The changes we’re introducing are all additive, and do not affect existing heroes or enemies. To help ensure this DLC was solid, we invited several members of the Darkest Dungeon modding community to help us test, and provide vital feedback during the development process. We owe a debt of gratitude to every single member of our test pool, and cannot thank them enough for their enthusiasm and thorough testing over the last month.
Today’s release should provide some exciting new toys for the mod community. The inclusion of a functioning Burn combat mechanic, plus the various Trinket mechanics in this DLC should create even more opportunities for modders to experiment and create. And there is even more coming!
Our team is currently working on a new and improved mod loader, something that has been highly requested by the community for some time. In addition to this, we have considered a number of ideas pitched to us by our test pool that could improve the modding scene further, and help extend the lifespan of the product. We are hoping to implement some of these requests over the next few weeks. A followup release is currently planned for the end of August, and we will likely kick off an open beta for the new mod loader in the next week or so.
For now, we hope you enjoy The Fire’s Edge. It was a real pleasure to return to the original Darkest Dungeon and surprise you all with this new content. Thank you again for the support!

DARKEST DUNGEON II
Farmer: Crusader Path - Lux
"Winter is coming. I must make this harvest count."
A role that interacts with Combo and tears the foe down with wide, sweeping slashes.
The Farmer is a Crusader path that applies and consumes Combo in equal measure, while tearing the foes asunder with wide sweeping slashes. The Farmer gives up a portion of his self sustain in favour of improved Combo interaction, and the ability to re-apply Combo tokens that he consumes. The Farmer will usually find himself in the frontline, but like other Crusader paths, still features Wanderer's Holy Lance to return to more desirable ranks.

The Fire’s Edge, the first new DLC for Darkest Dungeon since 2020, is releasing to PC, Mac and console on August 18th.
Two more wayward souls wander the Old Road. The Duelist and Runaway, heroes who originally made their debut in Darkest Dungeon II, bring their unique abilities to bear against horrors that lurk beneath the manor.
The Runaway is a position-flexible damage dealer utilizing a unique Burn damage type with high synergy for teams that like to utilize Stuns and Pull/Knockback/Shuffle effects.
The Duelist is a complex damage dealer that dances between the party’s ranks, able to freely maintain Riposte while alternating between her two combat stances, Defensive and Aggressive. Proper planning of the Duelist’s future turns is key to mastering her playstyle and maximizing her potential!
In addition to two new recruitable heroes, this DLC also introduces new combat mechanics, powerful trinkets, and additional Hamlet districts!

**DARKEST DUNGEON II**
**__Enemy Barks Mod__** - WUMPASAURUS
This mod aims to give the enemies a voice, and occasionally give everyone else the ability to speak for the ones that can't speak (mainly Creatures).
As of now, enemies have a 15% chance to bark on attacks they use consistently, and special attacks have a 20% chance to use a crit-like bark, with actual crits having a 60% chance. They also have a 40% chance to bark when fights start and when hitting death's door. Minibosses and likely lair bosses will get opener barks (I would like everyone to have openers but I don't know how to program it.)

It’s officially been 3 years since Darkest Dungeon II’s 1.0 release. As always, thank you to our incredible community. Whether you started playing in Early Access, or picked up Darkest Dungeon II just this year, we are so grateful for your support.
Since our last anniversary, we’ve put out a number of updates. We released our 3rd and final Kingdoms module, finished our hero reworks and overhauled a number of features with two Steadfast Steward updates, released hero origin skins, and expanded modding support to include custom heroes.
Check out the release timeline for these updates below!
Want to see the full details on everything we’ve added to the game since May 2025? You can take a look at our detailed patch notes from each update here:
There are even a few new things on the horizon. A Nintendo Switch 2 version of Darkest Dungeon II is currently in production. We don’t have a release date to announce at this time, but we hope to be able to share that with you soon. We are also happy to confirm that a new Darkest Dungeon II DLC is in the works. This DLC is currently scheduled for an early 2027 release. More details will be provided later in the year. If you want to help test this upcoming release, you can sign up to do so here: https://darkestdungeon.firstlook.gg Testing is likely to begin late this summer.

We're released another hotfix for Darkest Dungeon II. Here's what the build includes:
HELLION
Ravager
🔸 Toe to Toe is now a Path skill
🔸 Toe to Toe+ does not ignore Winded (in fact, it never did for Ravager)
🔸 Toe to Toe+ grants +4% Deathblow RES per Winded removed for 3 Turns
Berserker
🔸 Toe to Toe is now a Path skill
🔸 Toe to Toe+ does not ignore Winded (as above, it never did for Berserker)
🔸 Toe to Toe+ grants +3% CRIT per Winded removed for 3 Turns
Dev Note: Due to a system limitation that lead to a conflict with the Ravager and Berserker Paths' mechanics for ignoring Winded, the "Ignore Winded" component of Wanderer Toe to Toe+ is unable to function correctly on either Path. For this reason, we opted to make Toe to Toe a Path skill for each and replaced that non-functional element with a buff better suited to facilitating Ravager's low health gameplay and Berserker's CRIT momentum.
