The first thing worth mentioning is that when I said 'brutally difficult' I was not exaggerating. Darkest Dungeon prays on the weak, by which mean the moment your party starts to crumble and the once noble crusaders lose their wits the inevitability of defeat will begin looming oppressively over their heads. The lucky ones will be the first to die from the ghoulish horrors, while those less fortunate will return back to the Hamlet, not as men, but as gibbering lunatics forever scared by the things they have witnessed. It is easy to get attached to your characters, especially since they will constantly be skirting death's door and thus producing some rather exciting tales of heroism and perseverance in the face of oblivion, but its probably for the best if you consider them expendable, as that is exactly what they are.

No matter how much gold you invest into equipment and training, and no matter how much experience your characters have, there is always that a chance they will not return from their mission, and this is a reality you need to be prepared for.
