Darkest Dungeon Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

The Cult of the Pale King — The entry states the cult is called 'The Cult of the Pale King', but the canon name for the cult that protects the Heart of the World is simply 'the cultists' or 'the cult of the Heart of the World'; there is no widely-known canon name 'Cult of the Pale King'

The Cult of the Pale King — The entry claims the cultists appear 'throughout the land as hostile agents seeking to protect the Heart of the World from destruction', but in canon, they are primarily encountered in the Darkest Dungeon and the Farmstead (via the Shambler), not throughout th

Berserk — The entry states that 'Breakthrough' inflicts stress on the user, but the actual Breakthrough skill in Darkest Dungeon does not inflict stress on the user.

Berserk — The entry claims 'Breakthrough is one of the few skills in the game that guarantees Stress damage to its own user upon activation,' which is factually incorrect because Breakthrough does not inflict stress on the user.

Fireball — The Fireball skill does not exist in the original Darkest Dungeon game; the Plague Doctor's offensive skills include 'Noxious Blast', 'Plague Grenade', 'Blinding Gas', and 'Incision', but no skill named 'Fireball'.

Fireball — The claim that the skill 'takes a toll on the alchemist's own health' is false; no Plague Doctor skill in the base game damages the user as part of its effect.

The Warrens — The entry states the Warrens are unlocked after completing the first Ruins quest (the Old Road), but the Old Road is the tutorial mission, not a Ruins quest, and the Warrens become available after completing the tutorial.

The Warrens — The entry lists the primary boss as Swine Prince and later mentions Swine King as if interchangeable, but the Swine King is a separate boss in the Darkest Dungeon, not the Warrens.

The Hamlet — The Shrieker and The Collector do not manifest within the Hamlet's bounds; they are encountered in specific dungeon quests or as random encounters in dungeons, not in the hub area.

The Hamlet — The Crimson Curse DLC does not reveal that corruption extends beneath the Hamlet; the Crimson Curse DLC is set in the Courtyard, and the final dungeon's connection to the Estate's foundations is part of the base game's lore, not specifically revealed by the DL

Mountainside — The entry describes 'Mountainside' as a real location in Darkest Dungeon, but no such region exists in the game's canon.
