Disarming curios - dungeon interactive objects

[nepomucq]

I know the Devs wanted people to find out which objects affect which curios through experimenting, but I think that a little help may come in handy.

I intend to post what I know and I ask everyone to join in.

To make it easier I intend to edit this post when someone provides some new info. I will, however, include posters credits.

Unconfirmed solutions will be labeled (?). The same goes for curios which come from an unspecified dungeon

One important thing. Please, be as specific as possible when giving the name of curios because there are many which have similar names. Also state which dungeon it can be found in.

For those who wish to experiment on their own: SPOILERS AHEAD


ALL DUNGEONS:

Heirloom Chest - Skeleton Key - loot

Unlocked Strongbox - nothing works, so use at your own risk (thanks Enfo)



THE RUINS:

Iron Maiden - Medicinal Herbs - loot

Altar of Light / Life (not sure if they are the same thing) - Holy Water - gives a buff (gave the Vestal a buff without using Holy Water) (thanks Mindmaker)

Alchemy Table / Lab - Medicinal Herbs - loot
OR
-Torch - full light (thanks silencer4)

Confession Booth - Holy Water - decreases stress by 30 (thanks Garamoth)
OR
- nothing - it can remove a random negative quirk (thanks trance and Dunan)

Locked Display Case / Cabinet - Shovel (destroys some content) or Skeleton Key - loot (thanks yajiu)

Decorative Urn - Holy Water - loot (thanks silencer4)
OR
- Shovel - A LOT of stress (thanks Dr. Jekyll)

Stack of Books - Torch - increases stress to 100 (thanks Garamoth and Chronolemagne and yajiu) (does anyone have positive results?); nothing else works, so use at your own risk (thanks Enfo)

Holy Fountain - Holy Water - full heal and stress heal (on Crusader) (thanks Viggaaa)

Sarcophagus - nothing works, so use at your own risk (thanks Enfo and bones)

Locked Sarcophagus - Skeleton Key - loot (thanks trance)

Rack of Blades - Bandage - loot (thanks yajiu)

Pile of Scrolls - Torch - remove negative quirk (thanks anonynamja and yajiu)
OR
- nothing - small chance of positive quirk or nothing happens (thanks anonynamja)

Rack of Blades - Bandage - loot (thanks trance and yajiu)

Occult Markings / Scribblings / Scrawlings (not sure if these are all the same thing) - Holy Water - debuff (thanks yajiu and anonynamja); nothing else works, so use at your own risk (thanks Enfo)

Traveler's Tent - nothing works, so use at your own risk (thanks Enfo, Jin and Siorn)

Discarded Pack - nothing works, so use at your own risk (thanks Enfo)



QUEST CURIOS:

Chirurgeon's Satchel - ? (thanks yajiu)

Animalistic Markings - ? (thanks yajiu)


Edited: Garamoth - thanks for pointing out my mistake.

Edited: According to silencer4 Barbaric Wall can only be used by Hellion. If it's true it may mean there are some class-specific interactions with some curios. For example only educated characters can read books or something like that. Thoughts?

Edited: Special thanks to yajiu who has done wonderflul job testing various options and posting the results. Thank you, kind sir!

Edited: According to HenryGuy holy/religious based characters like the Crusader seem to always get a buff from the holy altar or statues without need for an item use.

the warrens: scrawlings - holy water- debuff on plague doctor

A Suit of Armor can be found in the Ruins.

When using the Shovel on an Urn in the Ruins I got the negative trait A Guilty Conscience instead of stress. You could mark more clearly the difference between gaining stress and getting stress relief in your guide.

Cove - Fish carcass + medicinal herbs = loot

Cove - Bas-relief + shovel = increase stress to 100

If you add me nepomucq I have an almost complete set of notes about what works with intention of writing a thorough guide.

[nepomucq]

Hey Mike. To be honest the topic is largely dead. There are at least two guides about curios on Steam plus thare are two wikis concerning Darkest Dungeon. I don't intend to do anything more with this topic, but if you want to prepare a new guide then go ahead and good luck.

[silencer4]

The topic was dead, because everything was told in the early access conten, and now it only lacks the Cove and probably Darkest Dungeon itself.

[Dryker]

Correction: Ruins: Holy Fountain: Holy Water. Doesn't seem to be Crusader only. Worked on Jester, as well. Can't confirm stress relief, though.

[Dryker]

Ammendment: Warrens: Occult Scrawling: No item gave occultist 38 stress

Did you honestly not just google darkest Dungeon Curio before necroing this thread?

[Juan Helsing]

Hey, thanks to everyone for the guide of curios! It helped me a lot.
I wanted to ask to the author, you, Nepomucq. If I could translate to Spanish for every D-Dungeon player who know the language, with their respective credits, of course.
And add a little more of info, 'cause I know some things from: "Cala" (the dungeon with fishes).

[Andromeda Deadrose]

Sacrificial stone + firewood did nothing, no buff.

[ForrestFox]

Did someone make a guide out of this?

[No One]

Mmm that's some tasty necro

did you try asking google about curios?

Wow. The peak of comedy, everyone. Necroing a post for no reason other than to post three dots. Hilarious.
