Such Heroes are marked by a torch in a Hero roster and candles on their stat page. You should also be aware that you cannot retreat at all during the game's final quest.Ĭharacters who successfully complete a quest in the Darkest Dungeon will - on Darkest / Stygian difficulty - refuse to go back ever again. If you must flee, unequip all Trinkets before abandoning the quest to avoid losing them.

However, if there is only 1 party member left, they will escape safely.

You can't easily retreat from the Darkest Dungeon, either, should things go south: when you retreat, a random party member will die (representing them holding off the monsters to buy their comrades time to escape).

Almost every attack will induce stress, every blight and bleed deals high damage, and every encounter has a good chance to be the last. First and foremost - the Darkest Dungeon is nothing like the challenges you’ve faced before.
