You Should Definitely Hit the Rubble/Debris on the Road in Darkest Dungeon 2
/
It’s no secret that Darkest Dungeon 2 is a challenging rogue-like RPG, so you’ll need every ounce of advantage to eventually reach the boss of the run and hopefully beat it. One advantage is the rubble or debris found in the road. If you’re new and miss the tutorial about it, it's beneficial to ram your stagecoach in every rubble on the road.
Visually, the stagecoach hitting any rubble or debris on the road does look like it took some damage, but in fact, it’s okay as these on the road are meant to be hit as this is the reason why you can maneuver the stagecoach left to right.
Hitting these objects on the road will not damage your wheels or the stagecoach's armor. Crossing Hazard nodes (with the icon of a broken shield in the map) are the only ones that damage armor while Rough terrain (a wheel on rocky road icon) damage your stagecoach’s wheels. These are usually unavoidable once you’ve chosen to go to that particular map, so the only way to avoid it is to simply have the ability to scout ahead either through a Stagecoach upgrade or visit a Watchtower node, which reveals all remaining nodes in the region.
That’s the only thing you have to worry about when it comes to damaging your stagecoach so go nuts with what’s on the road as what you’ll get for hitting them may seem minimal, but it actually adds up.
What do I get for hitting the rubble/debris on the road?
When you do hit any rubble on the road, be it burning debris or a pile of leaves, there’s a chance you’ll earn items or even Relics (serves as the game’s gold/currency). I’ve earned Inn Items as well as Combat Items for hitting them, so it’s definitely worth it to control where your stagecoach is going as you travel to the next inn.
It’s an engaging activity for the player as they go from one node to another in a run.
The best way to make sure you hit almost all rubble is to make sure your stagecoach is in the middle and move accordingly.
Version 1.0 of Darkest Dungeon 2 is now officially out in Epic Game Store and Steam.
Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings back Max Caulfield with new time-manipulation powers, but struggles to capture the original’s emotional weight. While the dual-timeline mechanic is engaging, the story’s weak twists, forgettable characters, and technical issues hold it back. A nostalgic revisit, but not a standout entry in the series.
