You have to open the folder where Darkest Dungeon files are located on your computer, and open the base.town_events.json file with notebook extension. The updated path should be

SteamLibrary ---> SteamApps ---> common ---> DarkestDungeon ---> campaign ---> town_events ---> base.town_events.events.json

Then, to make things easier, just press alt+f and search for "dead_recruit" in the search field, it will find the town event info for hero ressurection, then just increase the chances of it happening by adding 99 to "base_chance":, and 99 to "per_not_rolled_additional_chance", and putting the "cooldown" on 0, like in the picture provided.


This will increase chances of 3 of your dead heroes being brought back from the dead after the next quest, be sure to save and exit though. Later change it back, after you get your favourite hero, unless you want to constantly repeat the same ement over and over.

Also, your ressurected hero will suffer total upgrade penalties, but will keep his quirks and resolve level, unless you want to tinker further with the numbers, but that just wouldnt be too fair now, would it?

[Edit: I would suggest not trying your luck with tweaking the paremeters, or putting numbers higher than 99.0, I don't think it actually goes higher and may only just break the events. Also, if you want to trigger this event, try to not do missions that will GUARANTEE a specific event, so go for basic "explore 90% rooms" type. It might actually take you a 2 or 3 weeks to trigger the event, due to past missions, but now it works for sure.]
