Graveyard Keeper 2 Six-Day Week
The six days run Gluttony → Sloth → Lust → Envy → Pride → Wrath. Plan PR Machine loads, most battles, Linda and looter orders, resurrection, town orders, then Mass in that order. These names identify the portal-fragment symbols: the game shows glyphs rather than written day names. Greed is a portal fragment, not a seventh weekday.
Scope: the event schedule and exceptions below come from Wikily's six-day calendar, checked October 17. This is a community database, not official scheduling documentation or an independently game-tested walkthrough. Story unlocks still apply, and no specific patch or all-platform compatibility is claimed.
Read the wheel before waiting for a day
The calendar says all six glyphs are present from the start and the wheel highlights today and tomorrow. Each event's centre picture appears after its story milestone; an absent picture does not mean the week is missing a day.
- Gluttony picture: complete Congregation Trouble.
- Sloth picture: win Break Through to the Port during First... Sludge?
- Lust picture: first ask Linda “New people?”; the calendar lists this as possible from Safe Harbor onward.
- Envy picture: repair the Resurrection device.
- Pride picture: start Workshop Hours.
- Wrath picture: complete Holy Moly!
Use these milestones to identify which activity you have actually unlocked. Waiting until its glyph alone does not repair a device or finish a prerequisite quest.
The six-day task planner
1. Gluttony
Load the PR Machine
Where: PR Machine
Bring Charged hypno-devices, Newspapers or the combination required by your chosen program. The machine appears after Congregation Trouble.
2. Sloth
Start most battles
Where: The battle's start point
Prepare your force before this day. The first Port battle and named sewer/basement battles have exceptions, listed below.
3. Lust
Bring Green Scrolls to Linda; accept looter orders
Where: Dockside Club
Have Green Scrolls ready for Linda and check Davy the Dagger for looter orders. Two named quest steps also use this day.
4. Envy
Use the Resurrection device
Where: Resurrection Lab
Prepare all intended Resurrection Tables first: the weekly use raises a zombie on every prepared table.
5. Pride
Accept town orders; collect Warehouse payout
Where: Order board and Town Warehouse
Review Warehouse and Warehouse Cellar crates before the day starts. Remaining goods are sold after accepted orders are served.
6. Wrath
Hold Mass
Where: Church
Prepare for one sermon. The calendar also associates this day with changing corpse deliveries; the first Holy Moly! sermon has an exception.
Gluttony: arrange the zombie-limit program first
The PR Machine calendar entry lists Gluttony as the load day. Programs use Charged hypno-devices, Newspapers or both and temporarily increase the zombie limit. The listed range is +10 to +80 for 1 to 5 weeks, depending on the program and machine tier: +10 for one week works on PR Machine I, while +80 for five weeks requires PR Machine V.
- Complete Congregation Trouble to make the machine available.
- Check the program supported by your machine tier and gather its displayed inputs before Gluttony.
- Load on Gluttony and track the program's duration rather than assuming the limit increase is permanent.
Use Hypno-device charging for the input chain and the zombies guide for staffing. This schedule does not imply every PR tier takes the same materials or grants the maximum bonus.
Sloth and Lust: battle and quest exceptions
Most battles start on Sloth, but the calendar's exception list allows these on any day:
- Break Through to the Port, the first battle in First... Sludge?
- Sewer Brawl I and Sewer Brawl II.
- Break Through to the Bathhouse Basement.
- Sewerena, also called The Sewer Arena.
It also lists an early window from Herbert handing over the red banner before the first battle until the end of the next Sloth. Do not apply “Sloth only” to every encounter. Prepare Gold Wine for mercenaries separately if your current hire needs it.
On Lust, the calendar lists Linda's new people and Davy the Dagger's looter orders at the Dockside Club. It also identifies two Lust-specific quest steps: buying Portal fragment Lust from the Trademaster at the Main Pier for 1 gold in High Price, and starting Linda's concert in Concept for a Concert. Gather Green Scrolls before making Linda's weekly visit.
Envy: batch resurrection, not one zombie per week
The listed restriction is one activation per Envy. That activation raises a zombie on every prepared Resurrection Table, so preparing multiple tables before using the device matters. After the use, power does not return until the next Envy; the calendar describes it as spent until the very end of the next Lust.
Exception: while God of the storms lasts, the device can be used on any day and repeatedly. A save under that effect is not evidence that the normal weekly limit has disappeared.
Pride: check crates before the rollover
- Before Pride begins: review goods in the Town Warehouse and Warehouse Cellar crates.
- At the start of Pride: goods go to accepted town orders first; everything left is sold at base price, with the money waiting at the order board.
- During Pride: accept orders. Completed repeatable orders become available again and traders' weekly Likes caps reset.
The first-visit exception allows accepting orders from the first visit to the order board until the end of the next Pride. After that, use the ordinary Pride window. See orders and Supply: Iron for the actual supply-box workflow; a calendar day is not a substitute for the correct crate contents.
Wrath: one Mass, with an introductory exception
Wrath is the normal day for one sermon at the Church. The first sermon in Holy Moly! is the stated exception. If the prayer stand reports “Ceremony available” with a glyph, compare it to the calendar and confirm the story step rather than assuming a missing sermon recipe. For a resource or reward blocker rather than timing, use the Faith and sermon checklist.
If the activity still refuses to start
- Wrong-day message: compare the displayed glyph with the wheel, then the event order above.
- Right day, unavailable: check the corresponding story unlock, repaired device, required input or battle access.
- Resurrection already used: wait for the next Envy unless God of the storms is active; preparing another table does not restore spent power.
- Missing centre picture: use the listed unlock milestone; do not search for a seventh day.
Calendar FAQ
What is the order of the six days?
Gluttony, Sloth, Lust, Envy, Pride, then Wrath. These are the portal-fragment names used by the community calendar for the glyphs, not written weekday labels in the game.
Is Greed a seventh day?
No. The community calendar states that the seventh portal fragment, Greed, has no day in the six-day week.
Can you resurrect only one zombie on Envy?
The listed limit is one use of the Resurrection device per Envy, not one zombie: that use raises a zombie on every prepared Resurrection Table. God of the storms temporarily allows any-day, repeated use.
Why can I not accept a town order today?
Town orders normally open on Pride. The listed exception lasts from the first visit to the order board until the end of the next Pride. Check your day and quest progression before treating a closed board as a bug.
