Graveyard Keeper 2 guide: start here
This Graveyard Keeper 2 guide does one job: point you at the next page. On a fresh save, start with “Your first hour”; if something is stuck, jump to “Beginner troubleshooting”; if you only want numbers, the tables below are generated from the game's own data. Every figure is stamped with the build it was read from — 1.004.2, full release 2026-09-22.
Pick the page that fits your situation
- Your first hour Start here on a fresh save: dungeon, town sequence, first grave and first Burial Certificate — each claim marked as game data or caption-checked gameplay.
- Beginner troubleshooting Blocked? Find the symptom: a quest that will not advance, no energy, not enough tech points, crops, fishing or construction that will not work.
- Early tech route Wood, bronze, fuel or gardening first? Every purchase with its cost and what it actually unlocks — no need to bank points first.
- Basic resources Where wood, Bronze Scrap, stone, clay, seeds and early food come from, and what to spend them on first.
- Early money guide What Burial Certificates sell for, which goods Herm buys, and which building materials are a mistake to sell early.
- Graveyard & burial How red and white skulls are counted, whether headstones and fences pay off, the first body, and when cremation is worth it.
