What provisions to take to particular dungeons (Cove, Ruins, Weald, Warrens, Darkest)?

What provisions to take to particular dungeons (Cove, Ruins, Weald, Warrens, Darkest)? - Woman holding flowers in hands in water

I think I got the hang of basic provisioning in sense that I take:

  • 12 food (+6 per dungeon length, so 18 for medium and 24 for long)
  • 8 torches (12/16)
  • 1 shovel (2/3)

Obviously, this is for run where I keep light >75%. Also I modify provisions slightly depending on team comp - like if I have Vestal I tend to need at least 20-30% less food and torches.

But is there a MUST item to bring to certain dungeons? After experimentation and Googling I started bringing Key to Ruins but am stuck trying to figure out exact items for other dungeons. Most of the guides I find online are somewhat outdated and give provisions for pre-release version of the game.



Best Answer

From personal experience I would suggest as a baseline a bit less food since you usually find some (at least for short ones), same with torches (6 for small), and a 1 of everything else. Next, based on DarkestDungeon Wiki - Curio you can estimate what extras you need given where you go:

  • Ruins: + Holy Water, + Skeleton Key, + Shovel
  • Warrens: + Herbs, + Holy Water
  • Wield: + Antivenom, + Bandages
  • Cove: + Shovel
  • Crimson Court: +++ Shovels, + Herbs (thanks, @ZealousHypocrites)

    Do you need torches in the darkest dungeon?

    Torches -- The Courtyard doesn't use the same torch light mechanic as the other areas of the game, so these aren't required. However, they do offer a bonus to accuracy, and can be used on Cocoons and Thronging Hives for stress reduction and finding treasure.
