Graveyard Keeper 2 guides

How the week, the graveyard, zombies, energy, money and tech points actually work - with the numbers.

Graveyard Keeper 2 runs on a handful of systems the game only half explains: a six-day week where each day unlocks one thing, a graveyard score built from skulls and laurels, zombies that need the right tool before they work, and three colours of tech points that pay for everything. These guides explain each one with the exact values the game uses.

Things to study

Start with the week

Battles only happen on Sloth, Mass only on Wrath, zombies only rise on Envy and town orders only open on Pride. Knowing the calendar is the difference between doing it today and waiting six days.

The six-day week

Gluttony to Wrath: which event happens on which day, and what to prepare the day before.

Graveyard quality

Zombies

Getting your first zombies, reanimating more on Envy, collars, tools, and the zombie limit.

Energy and insanity

What drains you, what restores you, and every food and drink ranked by what it gives.
