Darkest Dungeon Classes Quiz: Which Hero Are You?

Take our quiz to find out which Darkest Dungeon class you would be before succumbing to a horrible death.

September 9, 2019

Remember our Vampire the Masquerade quiz? We’re back with another one. This time around, we’ve decided to leave the shady alleyways of noughties Los Angeles for treacherous, monster-infested realm of Darkest Dungeon. Take this short Darkest Dungeon quiz to find out which hero you would be if our world would be somehow invaded by unspeakable Lovecraft-inspired horrors.

Disclaimer: This quiz contains the Heroes that have been so far confirmed for the sequel, Darkest Dungeon 2.

1. You’re deep in the dungeons and you see a suspicious-looking door. There might be treasure there. You:

Don’t take any risks. Gather your companions in door-breaching positions.

Scout the area for alternative routes to enter the room.

Make sure your supplies are within hand’s reach. Who knows what’s in there.

Barge in. What could possibly go wrong?

2. You’re about to enter the decrepit ruins. You’ve been there dozens of times, but somehow, you feel like this time it will be different. You:

Go over the tactics once more before going in.

Check your tools and supplies.

Clean your weapons.

Meditate and/or say a short prayer.

3. You finally return to town after a gruelling journey. You barely made it out alive. You’re dirty and a bit shaken, but apart from a few bruises, you’re fine. It’s time to blow off some steam. You:

Go to the tavern. There’s nothing a few drinks and a game of dice can’t solve.

Go to church and pray the trauma away.

Lock yourself in the study. Maybe you’ll prevent something like this happening by doing the proper research.

Find the most remote spot near town and meditate.

4. What do you seek in the ruins of the estate?

The thrill of battle. War is your life.

Knowledge and wisdom.

Redemption and forgiveness

Fame and riches.

5. What’s the one distinguishing thing that gives you the upper hand in battle?

My wits and street smarts.

My battle experience.

My unrelenting poise and focus.

My ability to support the party in any way possible.

6. While navigating the warrens, you’re surrounded by a group of swine monsters. The line is broken because the party is caught by surprise. In a moment of clarity, you:

Gather your companions and establish a defensive line.

Use all your force to push through and break out.

Throw a few tactical smoke bombs and attempt a quick escape.

Look for an opening and exploit it.

7. A creepy, ominous-looking book catches your eye while exploring. It’s almost as if it’s winking at you to check it out. Who knows what twisted knowledge the book contains. You:

Ignore it.

Study it.

Put it in your backpack to sell it in the market.

Burn it.

8. The party decides to set camp for the night during an arduous mission. How do you help your companions?

Repair weapons and armor.

Clean and bandage wounds.

Give them a taste of your gallows humour. Not everybody will appreciate it, but it’s all you got.

Keep an eye out for enemies.

9. Do you prefer working alone or in a team?

In a team.

I’ve been taught to not rely on anybody but myself.

I can do both.

As long as they don’t stand in my way.

10. You’re walking down a dark, damp hallway with apparently no end in sight. It feels like danger could be lurking around every corner. Noticing the tension, you:

Break the silence with a dark joke.

Grab a few calming medicinal herbs from your backpack and share them with your companions.

Rearrange the party composition while saying a few words of encouragement.

Do nothing. You live for the tension and thrill of battle.

11. You find solace in:

Leading others into battle and being a role-model.

Hoarding as much riches as possible and retiring early.

Helping others in times of need.

Purging the world of evil

Which Darkest Dungeon Class are you?

Grave Robber

In combat, the element of surprise can make the difference between victory and defeat, so you value mobility and dexterity above anything else, even protection. You strike from the shadows and retreat before anyone notices you were even there. But this doesn’t mean you can’t handle yourself in a one-on-one fight. After all, the trusty pickaxe that you use to empty tombs and graves of trinkets can just as easily break an enemy’s skull.

Man-at-Arms

Your eyes have seen more war and bloodshed than perhaps all the other heroes venturing in the Darkest Dungeon for fame and riches combined. Your back hurts, your joints ache, and you’ve lost count of your battle scars a long time ago. Most people in your position would’ve hung their swords on the wall and enjoy retirement, but not you - there are always more battles to win. You’re way past your youth, but far from obsolete. A seasoned veteran of combat, your years of battle experience has blessed you with an inhuman amount of stoic resilience and focus. You lead and encourage your fresh-faced companions with your immovable and commanding presence. As long as you stand, the line will never break.

Highwayman

An ex-thief, rogue and thug seeking redemption, you had to work really hard to earn the trust of your companions. However, your years of stalking the roads for caravans to plunder and dealing with unsavory figures from the criminal underworld have blessed you with street-smarts and a high degree of situational awareness. While the former doesn’t have much use now, the latter helps you and your companions navigate the treacherous, monster-filled, trap-ridden environment of the estate.

Hellion

You live to spill blood - there’s no other way to put it. You’re wild, unpredictable, and utterly terrifying. You’re the quintessential warrior, charging ahead first and asking questions later. That’s not to say you lack any sort of technique. Your massive glaive gives you immense reach in combat, allowing you to scramble enemy lines with a mere swing, while its razor-sharp edge causes lasting, bleeding wounds on enemies - human or otherwise. Your unrelenting rage makes you a powerful ally against the unspeakable horrors of the Estate.

Leper

A loner, outcast, poet, warrior, a broken man. Your life is defined by the struggle against your disease, and its futility. The disease has ruined your body beyond repair, a thing which causes great distress to your companions. In fact, your life is a constant struggle to keep yourself alive for for a little bit longer, at least until most of the monsters you swore to destroy are slain. However, you’re not only fully aware of your disease, you embrace it fully. Living a tortured existence has taught you that it’s always better to rely on yourself more than any others. While you don’t need the aid of others to survive, your horrible disease has made you empathetic to the struggles of others, and your presence can be as calming and reassuring as it can be distressing. And when everything else fails, when that big sword of yours hits something, it stays hit.

Plague Doctor

A doctor, scientist, researcher and intellectual. These are the four big words that best describe you, though few take you as an intellectual after seeing your sharp-sharp knife and wide assortment of poisonous grenades and darts. Owing to your background, you prefer to hang back and harass enemies with plague-filled grenades, poison bombs and venomous darts. You concoct these yourselves, but only the gods know where you get the supplies. Your shrewdness, wit, as well as your critical and rational thinking, makes you a valuable asset in the dungeons. You’re highly respected not only for your ability to poison and spread confusion in the enemy ranks but also for your medicinal herbs.

I can reproduce every scene from The Sopranos word by word. I also like to talk endlessly about weirdly specific game mechanics and tropes. But I guess that's par for the course, right?
