Has anyone tried cheesing the Swine God fight with an arbalest? If you bring her with speed trinkets and and rallying flair he will never get to attack with anything but wild flailing, which is pitiful.

>>167261054
It's one of the two commonly used strategies against him, the other being occultist spamming weakening curse.

Personally I prefer the Arbalest strategy.

>>167261395
I feel like it was the only time in the game I was glad to have an arbalest. I got everyone to level 6 for the achievement but never found a good role for the arbalest...

Why did I decide I was gonna write paragraphs for every single unique trinket?

>>167263391
Well the Arbalest can take out the Hag in just few good crits; if she doesn't get thrown into the pot then the fight is basically over.

The Prophet is similar except there's no threat of the Arbalest being taken out of the fight other than being killed. Since he's stuck in the back behind multiple meatshields, a heavy backline damage dealer like the Arbalest is a perfect match.

Anybody have that bounty hunter doing the cool dude point with sunglasses on? Lost that image a while ago.

>>167266741
Go pure DPS, rush the one mandatory Mammoth Cyst, kill everything before you can be teleported and win without even needing to camp.

>>167266741
Take a plague doctor. Dots are common as shit and you can only buy so many bandages and antivenoms.
The antibody isn't what you need to hurt, either, you just need to keep hitting the mammoth cyst. The cyst doesn't recover health when you're teleported away.

>>167266741
This was my party composition. Had to explore the whole area because I didn't know where's the right room.

Kinda low DPS because GR had to kill the teleporting faggot but still wasn't hard.

Actually I wanted to abort the mission after a terrible fight vs cyst and even started to remove trinkets from heroes but then I realized I still can use a camp and remove blight from death door heroes with bandages and so I recovered and finished the mission.

>>167266929
I thought my team was already pure dps, but fair enough.

>>167267154
>>167266929
I don't have a jester, so I'll try a team with Vestal + PD + GR + Hellion, thanks lads, I swear to god, this is the worst fucking dungeon in this whole game.

>>167267625
PD is super good there, he can stun them both and also cure blight.

>>167266629
what's he gunna do?

>>167266741
I took Arbalest, Occultist, Leper and Helion, Leper had some sick damage bonuses. Won the mission without having to camp or getting teleported even once. Reached the boss with almost full HP and very little stress.

>>167271616
Shuffle parties are good because the scramble won't fuck them up too much, you need to have at least some movement available. As with all bosses, marking parties will do the most burst damage to a single target.

Bringing an Occultist is nice because he can fill your healer niche (Junia's Head + Cleansing Crystal to make it more reliable) or go for the massive bonus +Eldritch damage (Eldritch-Killing Incense + Eldritch Slayer's Ring) will let you stab for +80% damage 16% crit as far back as rank three without taking up any of your more traditional damage boosters (e.g.: Dismas's Head / Ancestrals)

PD can blight him pretty reliably even on champion difficulty which is how I win most of my shambler hunts

I've made Shambler work with everything (even the AQ+HWM riposte meme) but I don't know if I have a strong favorite. The #1 absolute easiest way to kill him though is to fight him on apprentice difficulty where it is much much easier. Just run a fuckton of notorch runs with random low levels you get from the stagecoach.

Is there any reason to hunt Shamblers anymore once you collect all of their trinkets?

>>167272437
No, there's not even a reason to hunt them after you get the shambler drop you really want.

In fact, there's not even really an incentive to hunt champion bosses since their rewards are lacklustre and it won't help prepare you for the Darkest Dungeon

Ach, damn.

Make it a jester then, so the Abom remains functional for the whole fight.

The Abom is really the essential component: rakes sycophants to death astonishingly easily, and can rage on the shoggoth itself.

I like Arbalest in marking parties. Junia's + Medic Greaves will make those bandages substantial and the buff adds even more vigor to it. Then she can just support with marks and stuff. When she wants to shoot she gets +50% against marked. No other healer gets mark synergy (although Occultist can mark)

Not everyone likes marking parties though.

>>167273326
You can list meaningless reasons for anything. Even if there wasn't an achievement you might say, "There's a reason to kill more Shamblers -- the joy of killing Shamblers", or the challenge, or something to do on a rainy day. If the reason has no value to the person in question, it's no reason at all.

>>167273912
You could map figure 8 very directly with any of the boss narrations. I've long suspected that "in time you will know the tragic extent of my failings" was not just a catchy phrase, but the guiding philosophy for how they structure their narrative. Let me give you an example picked entirely at random from the boss list.

>Simple folk are by their nature loquacious, and the denizens of the hamlet were no exception. It was not long before rumors of my morbid genius and secretive excavations began to fill local legend. In the face of my increasingly egregious flaunting of public taboos, awe turned to ire, and demonstrations were held in the town square.

This is almost a bait and switch. The Ancestor is admitting to some of his failings - being obsessed with 'morbid' pursuits, so you think it's reasonable the town itself turned to banditry in rebellion against him.

>The wild whispers of heresy roused the rabble to violent action. Such was the general air of rebellion that even my generous offer of gold to the local constabulary was rebuffed. To reassert my rule, I sought out unscrupulous men skilled in the application of force. Tight-lipped and terrifying, these mercenaries brought with them a war machine of terrible implication.
>Eager to end the tiresome domestic distraction, I instructed my newly formed militia of hardened bandits, brigands and killers to go forth and do their work. Compliance and order were restored, and the noisesome population of the Hamlet was culled to more managable numbers.
Whoops, fuck. The ancestor hired bandits to kill the villagers.

The more of the ancestor's memories i read the more i feel bad for some of the bosses. Most notably the Prophet, Siren, and Necromancers.

The Prophet was just trying to warn everyone of what the Ancestor was doing, the siren had a crush on the ancestor, and the nrcormancers were only scholars that the Ancestor murdered

Send people to DD, then recruit new heroes.

Is there every a time you can run a group without a healer?

>>167257947

>>167307451
Yeah, I did Cannon without a healer. Well I guess technically Arbalest can heal but other than her it was no Healers.... well yes there was also the Leper and Houndmaster who can heal themselves, but nope. No healers.

>>167307639
Most of my runs without a healer tend to end badly.

>>167307451
That depends. I wouldnt. I mean, I like to have at least someone to heal dots, blight and bleed, but usually someone with self heal.

>>167307824
maybe you're relying too much on DPS. You should have someone who can reliably chain stun threats when you have no healer. Like Houndmaster or Abomination or Plague Doctor.

>>167307824
>>167307986
Or you need to focus your damage on one or two targets and take them out before they can do damage.

Do you have your campfire still? If yes, you have an ambush prevention skill and you're feeling confident, then do it before. The Sodden Crew is easy aside from stress damage, so if you manage yourself well then you won't have anything left over from this fight that will impede your beating the boss.

Bro, I'm pretty sure religious folk would just kill a were-demon instead of imprisoning him and torturing him for decades.

I'd wager they were most likely cultists working on a test subject - he was deliberately poisoned and mutated.
Trying to learn how to turn into a monster seems like a pretty evil cultist thing to do.

The vampire, the mosquito, these are parasites.

The Heart of Darkness gorges itself on the blood of fallen heroes. They are pests, and they will be exterminated as such before they become a plague on this hamlet, this pipeline of sacrifices willing and unwilling. And if you dare not spill more blood so that you might starve the Heart and the Court, there will always be those wandering Fanatics of pure conviction willing to spill it for you.

>>167311018
The Shambler scales with the dungeon's level so it'll be as easy as it gets. If you'd rather leave with the loot then you should, as you cannot run from the Shambler fight once you start.

Abom's dialogue implied that the presence of the demon in his body was in own fault, caused by toying with alchemy. It seems he was a scientist before all this business with the demon.

GG m8, you made it.

fuck my Highwayman just died. My strategy of DPSing the Hag went pretty bad. I knew I shouldn't have brought a Man at Arms where a Bounty Hunter should have been. It was a pretty bad set up too, only Arbalest and Abomination were useful (Arbalest became useless later on when HWM died and she was pushed in front) Normally it'd be something like this

>Arbalest-Abomination-Bounty Hunter-Hellion
Arbalest and Bounty Hunter for Mark Synergy. Abomination for Stuns and DPS when Transformed (You can put Occultist here if you really want heals and to make sure you won't get campfire ambushed. Also if you don't want to waste a turn marking for Arbalest and BH), Hellion for Bleed and DPS, BH for having bonus against Humans and having alright Stuns.

I'm still thinking about good party composition for DD1.

Vestal - HWM - BH - Jester, will it work?
Feels like I'd have no DPS in that group, I always use Jester as full utility after finale and he has no attacks except finale.
I'm also afraid that BH and HWM on front line would suffer massive amount of bleed and dmg. But at least that kind of group can deal with shuffle on the boss.

I never had a problem killing shambler with a proper group of heroes (that means having a healer at least) on any difficulty. If you have all upgrades on Veteran and Champion levels then he won't be any harder. Also getting bandages and antivenoms is a must for shambler and I never tossed them from the inventory until I got all trinkets from him.

PBD has me thinking:

People have suggested a chef class -- what if this class could also cook up useful (and risky) potions during an expedition. That would give it more utility and make it less one-note.

Maybe one day, when an update adds fire damage, the Dungeon chef will really shine. Despite being mostly meh in combat, he'd also be a pretty handy off-healer with the food, obviously.

You've come up with good shit there, by the way.

Now, should he be dodgy and lithe, or beefy and fat?

>>167336908
Maybr he could damage stress in exchange for food, like the abom (and the occultist, by rights) does for damage.

I've got an idea to deal with the chain-heart attack mechanic

Instead of instantly dying of stress, how about giving characters a chance to just run away in terror?

It would have the effect of them being dead, that is them being absent for the rest of the run, and could potentially lead to optional missions to find and rescue them (if they survive), or just have them show up at the hamlet some weeks later with max stress and a few negative quirks.

I think it's a lot more realistic and not nearly as silly as just instantly dying when you're scared

>>167339012
I prefer they just die.

>>167339012
Well, when you reach the stress level that would cause a heart attack it's too late to run away. However, there could be some fear mechanic that could cause them to run away upon reaching some other, lower stress level if they'd fail some kind of willpower roll. This however would be even more annoying than any of the shit you have to cope with now.

Neat. I imagine his camping skills would be elder god tier.

>>167341684
Oh fug, that's better than what I had in mind.

Huge moustache is better than full bushy beard, but I was thinking long hair slicked back viking style -- that is, no hat. Backpack and apron are the same though.

Also, possibly a missing finger, even a hook hand could be interesting.

>>167341684
>Ah~

Guys, do I get to keep my heroes and trinkets in NG+? I still need to kill Vvulf and I want to play the new DLC, so I don't know if I should pull the trigger already.

>>167341684
One more thing: I think he needs to have sleeves, even if they're rolled up; most of the rest of the roster has them, and he'd be out-of-place otherwise.

>>167342754
Nothing carries over to NG+.

Confidence = returned.

First time when I did DD1 I've lost all 4 heroes but still managed to get the boss before the last hero died.
This time no one got to the death door or got afflicted.

That's usually what I do when I encounter heavy losses -- start over fresh.

It's a bad habit

Over 120 hours and I'm not sure I've ever done a champion dungeon

>>167344098
are you me? got 80hours, havnt stepped a foot in a darkest dungeon, mainly because i played alot in early access and cove wasn't in at that time

>>167343857
maa chuunishit confirmed

>>167344098
>>167344561
But why? DD is one of the very few games when starting over really makes no sense even if you fucked up, you just lose what you've already accomplished.

>>167345378
When I lose someone I really like, their presence in the graveyards really irks me, so I just 'go somewhere else'.

Also, in DaS1 I lile to hoard soft humanity, and sometimes restart when I lose even a pithy amount early on, treating it as an all-or-nothing run. Its adds to the challeng: if there's no risk to DD, if there's nothing I can lose that would stop me from playing, then there's almost no point -- I just put in time and get a "you win". At least NG+ has the time constraint.

Thanks for posting anon. I think this one is the weakest of the new enemies though. He just feels kinda bland, although let's wait till we see him in action.

I'm hating the Warrens more already

>>167348159
Why a hairy boar when everything else looks like they have grafted skin?

>>167348682
The Choppers are kinda furry too. Their flavor text says they were bred to be like this, so maybe that has something to do with it.

>>167348159
>Those gross little human hands
Ew, the pig men are fucking gross.

Also nice to see more surveys. I always was bummed out by the lack of unique party names for so many combinations.

just started new save. first dungeon. what a great trinket to find

>>167351275
+15% dmg
-10% healing
sorry for not showing tooltip

>>167343913
lad ng+ is just an option when you start a new save file after beating the game for the first time

finish dd4 and next time you start a file it'll ask if you wanna get touched. it doesn't delete your finished file or anything.

>>167351275
>>167351396
Yeah the Sword Crest is a really solid starting trinket.

>>167348159
>crit out the ass with blight on top: the enemy. pic not avaliable because it dodged the camera shooting it

I already fucking hate it.

>>167354867
Is "Charlie's Angels" already taken? Swap "Charlie" with your or MaA's name. Just a first thought

>>167354129
I thought "Hell's Angels" worked pretty well for 4 Abominations, but I feel like it isn't creative enough.

Soemthing about marks?

>>167352498
Makes sense, since none of the swinefolk even take advantage of the Drummer's ability to mark.

>>167356379
X Marks the Spot

>>167356402
No, but the mushroom men do

>>167356475
They're not in the Warrens though.

>>167356475
The mushroom men aren't in the Warrens m8.

>>167356558
>>167356535
>>167356475
Don't cultists sometimes show up with swine drummers, and don't most enemies prefer to attack marked targets anyway?

>>167356805
Cultists and Corpse Eaters but no swinefolk specifically. These Skivers look like they'll be the Bone Arbalests of the Warrens with blight damage, and probably less burst because of the dot.
