Trinkets for the most part are going to be found completely at random during a players journey on their exhibitions. There are a wide assortment of trinkets, varying in rarity and type. Once you have obtained one, while outside of combat, select the hero you want to equip it to. This will open their inventory, and there will be 2 slots for players to equip trinkets in. These items will typically come with fantastic buffs for heroes, with a debuff or two tacked on as a trade off. As with most things in Darkest Dungeon 2, everything comes at a cost.
