Darkest Dungeon 2 changed up how you unlock new characters in the game. Check out this guide to find out how to unlock all characters in Darkest Dungeon 2. This way you know how long it will take for you to get your ideal team going.
How To Unlock All Heroes In Darkest Dungeon 2
In order to unlock all the characters you are just going to have to play. As you play you gain hope, and hope it tallied at the end and used to increase your profile rank. Get enough hope and you will unlock the character for that rank. For instance once you get to rank 3 you will unlock the Hellion, one of the best classes in my opinion. Certain classes from the last game are not currently in, but I assume they will be added down the line.
- Play the game
- Earn Hope
- Hope raises your profile rank
- Rank 3 unlocks Hellion
- Rank 6 unlocks Runaway
- Rank 9 unlocks Jester
- Rank 12 unlocks Leper
- Rank 15 unlocks Occultist
You earn hope by completing certain missions, defeating enemies, progressing with your wagon, keeping the torch lit, and helping people along the way. Basically, the longer you go, the more hope you will bring back with you at the end, or when you die. Just remember that it’s about making it as far as you can, not bringing back as much hope as you can.
