Kingdoms Quest Unveiled: Your Guide to Darkest Dungeon 2

The Kingdoms mode in Darkest Dungeon 2 features three distinct campaigns, beginning with the “Hunger of the Beast Clan.” This extensive journey requires you to navigate various regions while defending inns from Beastmen attacks. To bolster your defenses, you can upgrade the inns with formidable enhancements such as Veteran militia and Wainwright pets. For newcomers to Darkest Dungeon 2, some guidance can be invaluable as you embark on this challenging quest.

In order to successfully complete the Kingdoms quest, you’ll need to track down and deliver different items before the Day timer reaches its limit. If time runs out before all deliveries are made and the final boss is defeated, your kingdom will fall, leading to a loss. The challenge lies in locating the items and knowing where to take them.

Walkthrough for Darkest Dungeon 2: Kingdoms – Hunger of the Beast Clan Quest

You’re Now a Courier Service

After engaging in initial skirmishes at the start of the campaign, you will acquire a Spyglass at the Inn. Equip this to your Stagecoach, and then search for a Watchtower in the following region. Shortly thereafter, you’ll get a Handdrawn Map, which you’ll need to deliver to the next Inn.

Upon delivering the Handdrawn Map, you will obtain the Ambulance Designation. Equip this to your Stagecoach, and then seek out two Hospitals and two Hoarders. Each visit will grant you 2 Healers and 2 Medical Supplies.

Transport the 4 Healers and 4 Medical Supplies to a besieged Inn with your main party. You’ll recognize it by the large red skull marking above it. After winning that battle, you will receive the Child’s Plea.

With the Child’s Plea in your possession, visit a Field Hospital. Look for a medical symbol on the region map, where you’ll obtain Pungent Offal. Equip this to a member of your team, then go to any Creature Den found by identifying the tree symbol on the map. During your visit, use the Pungent Offal against one of the Huntsmen in the second round.

After the battle, you’ll acquire the Wounded Survivor. Deliver him to the Inn to receive the Survivor’s Tale, which must be utilized as an Inn item to benefit your team. After that, you’ll be awarded Cold Storage.

As for the challenging part, once you reach Escalation 2, equip Cold Storage and win a battle in each main region. For reference, the five main regions are Tundra, Tangle, Sprawl, Shroud, and Foetor. Winning each fight will earn you three Mauled Body parts, for a total of 15. This will require you to temporarily give up 15 slots in your inventory to move forward with the quest, so be ready for that.

After you’ve collected all 15 parts, deliver them to any Inn. After triggering Escalation 3, equip the four Rotting Dead items and win five road battles. Remember, road battles take place on the paths between nodes like Assistance Encounters or Hospitals. These battles will only appear after reaching Escalation 3, so if you don’t see any, that’s the reason.

Upon gaining a total of 20 Beast Hide from the road battles, your next journey will lead you to a Creature Den, which will now be labeled an Alpha Den. Defeat the Beastmen there to earn the Alpha Rot Claw’s Head trophy. Equip this trophy, then head to the newly accessible boss location. Conquer the boss, and you will have completed the Hunger of the Beast Clan Kingdoms Quest in Darkest Dungeon 2.
