Players should note that its arrival will reset your current Hope score, including item unlocks and hero availability, as well as any in-progress expeditions. The Altar of Hope update is live now on the game's experimental branch, before it arrives for everyone in a couple of weeks. Reaching the game's current end point - The Mountain - will also ensure you take home all your Candles up to that point - even if you fall at the final boss. The risk/reward here is whether you choose to end your expedition in progress gracefully at an inn, keeping your Candle stash intact, or press on for further glory/death. Missions will offer more Candles the further you manage to progress, but suffer a wipe and you'll see your Candle hoard penalised. The Altar of Hope update adds a new type of reward - Candles of Hope - which you can earn and then spend on various attributes which should make future missions safer for your party.Īs you'd expect, the bigger the danger, the bigger reward in terms of Candles bagged at the end. Early access roguelike Darkest Dungeon 2 is getting a major update which reworks the game's progression system - and also resets some player stats, developer Red Hook Games has warned.
