What is the Radiant Flame in Darkest Dungeon 2?
The Radiant Flame is a unique Stagecoach item that can be equipped to the Stagecoach Flame Slot. You will be able to buy this item from the Provisioner at the Inn. Once you are considering equipping this item, you will be given a warning that once it is equipped, you will be unable to unequip it for the rest of the expedition. Players will then be asked to confirm the installation of the Radiant Flame onto the Stagecoach for their expedition.

Why use the Radiant Flame?
The Radiant Flame comes with a lot of buffs for players that may not be too confident in their gameplay yet or those who just want an easier experience overall. By using the Radiant Flame, you get access to Stress Damage Resistance, increased health for all Heroes and decreased Flame drain. This is the closest the game has to an “easy mode”, and if you are looking for an easier journey throughout Darkest Dungeon 2, this is the best you will get.
The more failed expeditions you have, the buffs the Radiant Flame comes with will become stronger, so don’t panic if you can’t do the first expedition where you use the Radiant Flame!

The Con of Using the Radiant Flame
Whilst it does make the game significantly easier by using the Radiant Flame, it does come with a downside. You will be given a Candle penalty for using it, meaning you will earn fewer Candles for using the Radiant Flame on your Stagecoach. However, the penalty does seem to be pretty minor, so it is entirely your choice as to whether you use it or not.
