Ship Events in Black Reliquary
A complete list of all weekly events in Black Reliquary: descriptions, detailed stats, and conditions for their occurrence.
Updated by Single Player in Darkest Dungeon
Intro
With the Ship Events update, 25 new weekly events have been added to Black Reliquary. They are listed in this guide, alongside the existing ones.
How Ship Events Work
The first events are unique and related to campaign progression. Most of the remaining events are random and can happen multiple times with an 8-week cooldown.
The chance for a random event to occur starts at 33%. If you miss it, the next week will have a 66% chance, and then it increases to 75%. If you still haven't been lucky, you'll be rewarded with a guaranteed random event next week.
Unique Events
Unique ship events differ from all the others in that they occur only once. They have the highest priority.
There are a total of 4 such events.

Special Events
Special events occur under non-standard conditions.
A hooded figure has mysteriously appeared on the ship, claiming to be able to defy death.
This event works the same way From Beyond works in the original Darkest Dungeon: after you've lost 3 heroes, you have a chance to bring one back to life. The resurrected hero will keep his resolve level and quirks, but his skills, armor and weapon will be reset back to minimum.
