* [[Luck-Based Mission]]: Dungeon layouts are randomized, and while they have "Apprentice", "Veteran" and "Champion" designations, there is still a wide variation of difficulties within each, and party and trinket choices add even more variables to the pot. |

* [[Metal Slime]]: To be frank, the first time you fight the Collector isn't going to be the last. The Shambler is almost as bad, but at least you are guaranteed to gain an Ancestral Trinket if you defeat him. |

* [[Mysterious Backer]]: The Ancestor starts out this way. As your heroes explore, however, you find out more and more about him, and probably wish he had ''stayed'' "mysterious". |

* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: For one thing, they're [[Not Using the Z Word|Not Using the V Word]]. Vampirism is referred to as the "Crimson Curse", and enemy vampires have the "Bloodsucker" type. The bloodsuckers themselves are themed after insects rather than bats. Some of the enemies are simply giant insects, while others initially appear human but then morph into insectile forms after drinking the heroes' blood. |

* [[Pig Man]]: The Swine King and his minions are incredibly ugly versions of this found in the Warrens. According to the Ancestor, these are the result of his attempts to summon beings from the "outer spheres" using common pigs as vessels. Clearly, it didn't go as he planned... |

* [[Sistine Steal]]: The icon of the Occultist's "Unspeakable Commune" skill shows his finger reaching out towards a tentacle. {{spoiler|Appropriate, given the allegation that humanity is born from the eldritch Thing that the Ancestor discovered}}. |

* [[Start of Darkness]]: ''The Crimson Court'' DLC reveals that the Ancestor was never a morally upstanding individual, but that his encounter with the Crimson Curse was what specifically set him on the path to {{spoiler|discovering the Heart of Darkness and attempting to harness its power}}. |

* [[Tome of Eldritch Lore]]: The Ancestor's journals, definitely. |

** Also, stacks of books you find in dungeons are best avoided. Your heroes ''might'' gain a positive Quirk or a Journal entry from them, but far more often you will get a negative Quirk, an increase in Stress, or a decrease in the Light Meter. |

* [[Unwinnable]]: Averted (outside of NG+): no matter how many heroes die, there will always be more, and while it costs money to ''upgrade'' them, they will join your roster for free. As the game says, "Heroes are a renewable resource." |

* [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon]]: The Darkest Dungeon itself, with twisting passages, [[Alien Geometries]] and enemies that tax the heroes' (and the player's) sanity. Theoretically, it is accessible from the very beginning of the game, but it's not recommended to tackle it without leveling up some heroes to max in the other dungeons first... |
