>>128921630
Once the game is released this Tuesday the achievements will activate for ALL savegames. Some are retroactive, some are not. Confirmed NOT retroactive is fully upgrading a building.

If you don't have a save you might as well wait until release, if you have a save that is not at the endgame don't worry about progressing but try not to finish everything. Grinding over progress. If you're lategame you're reasonably safe to keep playing uninterrupted though you will most likely have to start a new game to get 100% of achievements. There will be a NG+ mode; details unknown.

Vestal's heals feel way way underpowered to me
Is a trinket required for her to heal more than 4 fucking hp?
Occultist seems way better. Sometimes he heals zero, but his average healing is at least twice as good as Vestal's (in my experience). She can't even keep one person topped off.

Also has two separate trinkets giving +33% each. Stop preaching bullshit, the Occultist sucks.

>>128923758
She has a couple trinkets unique to her that boost her healing tremendously.

>>128923758
Level 2 with basic trinkets = 5-7 healed for every character, every round. Good chance to crit for 15+ heals, and restores sanity.

Big game hunting guide; Shambler edition

Here's how to hunt Shamblers with almost any type of valid party composition:

1) Always pack 4 extra holy waters. They barely cost 1k and many curios use them anyway. Pop all of them before the shambler altar. It's good to also have a full stack of bandages or Antivenoms as well

2) If your team composition have Leper, Arbalest or other classes that can't do jack shit outside of their position, shuffle your team beforehand with those guys in the middle

3)Check if you have the following archtypes:
>Plague Doctor
>A very good stunner such as HoundMaster o MAA with stunning trinkets
>A high speed Abomination or high damage class that can hit the 2 claws before they can get their PROT buff
>A crit machine/nuking class to target the shambler itself.

If you have 2 out of 4, then you have a very high chance of beating the Shambler without casualties. If not, then you should reconsider or comeback with full stacks of Bandages or Anti-venom. My favourite anti-Shambler party is Arbalist-PD-Abomination-HoundMaster

How to fight it:
>Rule of thumb is to try and keep Shambler stunned as much as possible to prevent the clapper claws from overwhelming you or kill the claws quickly to prevent damage from accumulating. Alternate between stunning the shambler and the claws to be efficient
>If you're party is in danger of being stressed out, then focus on bursting or disabling the claws. If you leave 2 alive, there's a high chance that the shambler will do heavy stress damage to the party.
>Clapper claws are really weak to DoTs. Plague doctor and a follow up stun will always kill the claws.
>The key to Shambler battles is DPS and crowd control. Ideally, you want to finish the battle before your holy water buff and bandages/antivenom run out. A clapperclaw is scary when left alone but having a DoT is usually a death sentence to it, focus on the shambler to stop it from summoning more.

This

>>128959274
thanks friend

also, am i the only one that never uses a jester? what's his appeal?

>>128961517

Most people agree that he's underpowered. He used to be the bleed guy, but now houndmaster outclasses him in that regard.

He's the best stress healer, but I prefer to use crusader for that.

He's almost as good at disability traps as the Grave Robber.

His buff song is pretty good if your running a leper or your guys have rabies, or if they're crit machines like the Grave Robber.

Hopefully, they'll buff him a little in the Tuesday update.

>>128961517

I hate him.. I find he doesn't fit much in any group. Finale is a poo skill.

>>128961517
There doesn't seem to be any point in having a Jester when you can just bring a Hound Master that can do more damage, apply bleed on all he enemies and do about as much stress heal.

>>128959274
One more addenum. You can change skills on the fly in the dungeon. Certain skills that can cure bleed/blight on self is really useful in the fight so you can use a lvl 1 version and it will still work 100%

>>128962858

can you change skills during a fight?

>>128962952
No, just before the fight and camping.

Don't waste money healing stress on level 0's. Use them once with only 4 food, grab as much loot as you can and then toss them.

How does one make a group without vestel? Currently maining composition of
Vestel-BH-Crusader
Plus hound/grave/doctor.

>>128968027
Yes, thread made,

>>128968680

I like to use the occultist as a substitute healer, but he needs to have the right team to mesh with.

Good things for teams with the occultist are:

>Other healers. Plaguefu can cover for him if he cures zero and a bleed. Arbalest can boost healing, so if he goes after her and gets a crit, he can heal as much as 40+ HP if you're lucky. Crusader can also heal a decent amount.

>heroes who can do bonus damage against marked enemies: Arbalest, bounter hunter, houndmaster

>heroes with good crowd control
You won't need as much healing if the enemies aren't attacking you as much or you focus on mitigating damage. There are various ways to do this (stuns, using a lot of protection or dodge) but I like to use movement abilities. If you can't kill the most troublesome enemies, put them where they can't do as much damage. You can always mix crowd control, depending on what your team is.


Other good none-vestal teams are crusader with a houndmaster in the 4th rank. Crusader can heal the first three ranks, while the houndmaster can heal himself.

Or you could take self-healers like the hellion, abomination, and houndmaster, with a plague doctor in the 4th rank.

worth it dumping 15-20 or so fighter levels into my main pawn who is a mage?

>>128969398
With a Chirurgeons Charm the Occultist can get some pretty good heals. Plus if you have an Abomination you pretty much have to bring him.

I had some success with Occultist/Grave Robber/Abomination/Hellion. Since they can all deal with him inevitably fucking up and healing for 0 + bleed by cleansing or self healing. Not sure if I'd do a boss run with them though.

>>128974125
I really fucking hate occultist.
Hes way too unreliable.
Once did 24 heal no bleed. Which was nice but like 14overheal.
Other time, in the same run, did 0 + bleed on a guy who was critically low.

>>128974125
>>128975623
Occultist isn't a clutch healer, he's like a slot machine you pull if you have the luxury to heal which usually occurs when your are stunning and DoTing the last sucker to death. They actually have a higher rate of healing by averages and Occultist having a much higher Crit rate.

Abonmination don't really need healing, his self-heal works equally well as the Vestal's single target heal and also heal a ton of Stress if you're smart enough to put -StressDamage

>>128976308
>>128975623
I've done all my boss runs with Occult/Abom/MaA/Hellion

I love the Jester, but that's because he helps prevent "Surprised" shenanigans. His Dirk Stab ability is VERY strong, being able to hit from any position and able to hit every enemy position except for the 4th. Lets you set up Holy Spear shenanigans as well.

Harvest at its second upgrade puts a pretty potent Bleed effect on baddies (though Houndmaster is clearly better at max rank). I'm not a fan of Slice Off, despite putting the bleed at 4 per round at an early upgrade.

Finale is... alright, when you REALLY need to nuke something in the third spot.

What I use for mine is Dirk Stab, Finale, Harvest, and either Battle Ballad or Solo, depending on the area.

>>128986897

That's pretty good, depending on your party. If you have a leper and arbalest in a party, I can see being surprised being super annoying. I prefer to scout, if you scouted an enemy battle, it can't surprise you when you walk into that hex.

Does he increase the odds of you surprising an enemy?

Gross.

>>128998891
I watched some other guy saying to only use single damage attacks which makes more sense desu. You have mostly 4v4 battles which means if you kill a guy, the enemies lose a whole quarter worth of damage/stress shenanigans (not taking large foes into account) that will never come back. AoE is good for finishing weak enemies so no damage gets lost and stun is mostly good if it can stun multiple targets.

So ye
GIVE THEM NO QUARTER

New player here.
The game is not as hard as I remember (has the difficulty been nerfed, at least in the first levels ?)

The bosses are tough, though. Both the Prophet and the Hag rekt me, the second one killing my so far only casualty.

The Hag will be easy to kill now I know there's a fucking cauldron in the middle of the way, making melee fighters almost useless, but how to deal with the Prophet ? His attack where he makes the ceiling crumble on my group deals insane damage.

With the game being fully released, will progress be reset?

>>129011184
rank 4 MAA is good because he gives protection buff, so you can swap positions of those with high dodge/prot into the red beams signaling the rubble.

>>128995675

>Does he increase the odds of you surprising an enemy?

As far as I can tell, no. But he's the best "shuffler", so in the off chance someone gets moved to an unusable/undesirable position (ex. Arby/PD in 1), he's the fastest at "fixing" that. But you almost always have to have a GR alongside him if you're going to have someone reliant on position 4.

>>129011184

Bring a Bounty Hunter for bosses. Also, bring Hound Master, and/or an Occultist.

For the Hag, bring someone with high HP (Leper, Crusader), and hope they go into the pot. Sucks to be that guy. The Hag is a size 2 enemy, so your BH can use Finish Him to hit her despite being in the back (she's occupying spots 3+4), and Hook and Slice to put bleeds on her. The Hound Master can stack bleeds and do a fuckload of damage using the Dog Treat. An Occultist can use Sacrifical Stab to hit her from spot 3, or Vulnerability Hex to remove her dodge rate. If you bring an occultist, let the HM stack bleeds before you use the dog treat.

You could employ the same strategy for the prophet, except instead of an Occultist, bring a Jester. Have the Jester/BH whittle away the FIRST pew with Dirk Stab and Collect Bounty, while the Crusader uses Holy Lance to skewer him.

The name of the game for those two bosses is "kill them before they kill you". You probably won't out-heal their damage (ESPECIALLY on the prophet), and since several boss get two turns, you can't rely too much on stunning them.

>>129013972
No.

Noted.
I brought a good party for my first try on the Hag : a Vestal for heals, a Grave Robber, a BH and a Leper.
The problem was that my BH had no attack able to target the last ranks, only stuns, leaving the GR as the only one able to attack the Hag efficiently. Incidentally, she was in the pot when I retreated, so she boiled to death.

Also, one last noob question : my veteran level characters simply refuse to participate in lower rank missions. Will this always be the case, or are those characters just assholes ?

That's always the case. Veteran characters will only go on Veteran and above missions.

Was almost a year since I played it. Used cheatengine to speed up the game 4 times to avoid the boring wait times between attacks.

Now finaly they might have increased the speed so that might not be necessary.

But Leper, Vestal, and Crusader won't run with them.

Patch goes live when

Alright gents, how the fuck do I kill the 12 pounder. Its basically debuff immune so I can't knock down its 50% prot. Do I just stun spam everything and kill the fusilier when i cant and ignore killing the other bandits?

>>129039525
kill the matchman and then spam everything you have at it until it uses Reinforcements. Repeat

>>129039262
10 a.m. pst

so in 16 hours roughly

>>129039262

It's been a while since I've fought the 12 pounder, but something that might help is to kill gunbandits and fat bandits. When it has two of the knife bandits, push them to the backrows and ignore them.

The knife bandit in the 4th rank will always use a weak attack, and I don't think the bandit in the 3rd rank has any attacks that will make it advance. So you're essentially only have to worry about damage from one bandit instead of two, allowing you to focus more on the matchman and the cannon itself.

I haven't tried this myself, so I'm not sure how well it works in practice though.

they breed quickly... down here in the dark

You're not using Rampart and Bellow enough.

>>129043637
The moves seem to have really low tempo compared to other attacks other heroes have. I'd much rather kill the enemy than debuff. Also, rampart doesn't seem to do as much damage as it used to.

>>129044076
Rampart is not used for damage, it's used to stun and knockback if/when you need it.

Bellow is amazing because not only does a bit of damage, it also reduces any enemy's dodge and speed to shit. Your team will always act first and never miss.

>>129043231

His other abilities can be pretty good. Put him in the front row, guard the other person in the front row, and have an occultist use weakening hex. Even a giant mushroom man with a treebranch attack will do manageable damage.

The shield bash ability is good crowd control to.

The shield bash works well with other move abilities. Neutering an enemy for a turn or two (stuff like putting a crossbow skelly in the 1st rank, or a cultist brawler in the 4th rank) is good, because it allows you to focus on killing a different enemy while the neutered enemy only plinks away at you.

In some cases, you can even neuter two enemies. For example, lets say you have two cultist brawlers in the first rank, and two archer skeletons in the back ranks.

If you use the occultist's tentacle grab or the bounter hunter's hook grab to grab the first archer, and put him in rank one. This will push the cultists back, so one of them is in rank 3.

The archer in the front will be forced to use his weak attack, and the cultist in the back will use his weak attack two. With one tentacle/hook attack, you basically halved the damage your team takes for the turn, and then you can half that by killing one of the enemies who isn't out of place.

What do you people think of the 3 Trinket Mod from Nexusmods? The one that allows you to equip 3 Trinkets instead of 2?

>>129063374
where did you get that +92% damage buff? I don't remember the Occultist or the Jester giving damage buffs.

>>129063576

Same as turning off corpses. Easy mode for pussies

Camping skills, wiped the floor with the flesh on my first fight (lol scouting).

Each abom has a +DMG self buff, the Occ has a +DMG buff, I think I got another buff from a holy water interactive too.

So how bad is the street eater quirk?

I'm kinda confused on how it works

>>129064327

Let's say your guys are walking along, and they get hungry. Normally, you'd need 4 food to feed them all, with each hero getting one food.

If your stress eater is sufficiently stressed, she will instead need two food, so you'll need 5 food on hand to feel all your heroes.

Should I just wait for tomorrow to start a new game or start it now?

>>129064630
>tfw struggling to not play right now

>>129064747
That's why i'm asking.

Pressure to start playing is strong since I last played right after the game launched on steam so I know there's a ton of new shit.

>>129064630
>>129064747
start today
make mistakes, learn from them

>>129064818
saved games will be compatible anyways right? Mine as well start playing tonight since it's not like one could get to the darkest dungeon too quick i'd imagine

>>129064327
any more?

Am I the only one that let the lil shits die? It's not like we can't make another one.

>>129064961
Sadly no.

You will never cuddle a chubby grave robber by a lonely campfire to relieve her stress, feeding her trail rations and playfully tickling her fat belly to see her smile.

My heart has shown me the true path.

I wish each area had like 20 more enemy types just to keep you on your toes. Same old enemies are getting boring.

>>129057556
This legit? Any photos?

>>129066609
I already knew that. She looks so sad though when she's camping.

>>129068132
You can test it out for yourself tomorrow. Just go to the stage coach, press enter, type in her name, press enter again, and you should have Briar Patch.

>>129068691
Are there any other characters like this?

>>129068775

Yeah, but I don't recall all their names. I think there was a thread on the steam discussion section about it, but I wouldn't be surprised if we could just look though the files and find a list of the names ourselves.

There should also be some custom trinkets available too, so it should be helpful for people planning on starting a new game tomorrow.

>>129068775
Every KS backer who pledged high enough to to add their own personal item and character. If they don't share the names of them you'll never see them in game. Briar Patch and Lewd Vial are ours.

>>129068691
Can I unlock her more than once? Like keep entering her name? I don't want my new waifu to diefu

>>129068913

Beats me, we'll just have to find out.

>>129068987
Thank you senpai

>they actually paid wayne june to record memes

>>129069253
Eh, they probably had him record them at the same time they were recording lines for the actual Darkest Dungeon, since you can be sure there'll be lines for the new bosses and whatever.

Considering how VO works, they probably didn't grab him specifically for the memes.

>>129069438
It doesnt matter if it was partial or otherwise. They paid that man for memes.

>>129069494
>ywn get paid for memes

>>129066609

This is absolutely true.

Does anyone have an actual release time? Im in a GMT +10 timezone, so sometimes have to put up with "It's not the right day in America yet" shenanigans.
