Do you want to know how to upgrade skills in Darkest Dungeon 2? Going on a long journey in Darkest Dungeon 2, you should carefully choose your team of heroes. And first of all, you should pay attention to the character’s skills. Each hero has a unique skill set, but this is the beginning. As you travel from battle to battle, you’ll earn Mastery Points and upgrade each hero’s skills multiple times. But compared to the previous game in the series, the process of upgrading skills has undergone some changes in Darkest Dungeon 2, and today we will tell you about them.
Upgrading Skills in Darkest Dungeon 2
As we said, you will need a Mastery Point to upgrade your skills. You must participate in the Main and Road battle to get this in-game currency as a random reward. At the same time, the chance to get a Mastery Point after winning the Main battle is 50%, and 12.5% in the road battle. Which roughly corresponds to the difference in the difficulty of these battles. You only need to look for the corresponding battle points on the map and farm as many Mastery Points as you can.
But Mastery Point is not the only requirement because you cannot upgrade skills anywhere. You must visit one of the many Inns on your map to get access to this feature. At first, it will take you a long time to get from one Inn to another, but you will need much less time by upgrading the Stagecoach.
Once you are in the right place, your characters can rest, reflect on past battles, and learn new or upgrade existing skills. And here’s what you have to do to upgrade skills in Darkest Dungeon 2:
- When you get to the Inn, select the Mastery Trainer tab (sword icon) in the lower-left corner of the screen.
- Next, select one of your characters by clicking on the arrow in the center of the screen.
- Next, click on the ability you want to improve. You will see a description of the effect of this ability and what you get after the upgrade.

It is worth noting that while some abilities get a colossal boost, others hardly change after the upgrade. The cost of each subsequent ability upgrade will increase (besides, you need to upgrade all the characters approximately in proportion to each other), so choose what to upgrade first. However, if you are a good fighter and have a good strategy, you can get so many mastery points that you don’t have to choose.
