Second fucking PD I lost in 1 week. I only brought her to the dungeon to make her Resolve 6 and take her into DD2, 3 or 4.

Lucky for me I had 1 Resolve 5 PD left and she has Quick Reflexes no more of this bullshit. The bad news is I took her through DD2 and now I have no PD's left for DD3/4.

The piggies actively hunt humans and steal grain from them. You can't just "clean it out" and think they would go away.

Besides, cleaning that huge maze of tunnels would take years, even without the fucking pig demons attacking you every chance they get. The ancestor dumped fucking tons of half dead meat there.

The best way would be to seal or blow up all the entrances. Just let them suffocate and cannibalize each other in there.

This can be really important because, for instance, Point Blank Shot can be used from only rank 1 and only hits rank 1 but is ranged, meanwhile Duelist's Advance can be used from any rank and hit any rank but is melee.

It follows real life logic, since shooting a gun is a ranged form of combat, even at melee range, whereas stabbing with a knife is melee combat even if you could somehow lunge 10feet forward while stabbing.

Leper/Arby

If you're going to put a filler or healer, make sure they can use something relevant when they get shuffled into a unfavorable position or be able to hit something in the dark. Occultist is the best dedicated healer in a shuffle party for this role since he has high crit plus the fact that his skills will have a decent effect in any position depending on the circumstances (you can use debuffs, mark or even stab if he's pushed to the front). You're highly likely not going to be able to make the most use out of everyone in the bottom of the list, especially if you're damned to move Leper or Arby in the back or front, respectively.

hound is still good in shuffle parties, even if he cannot move by himself. he can do something useful from every single rank and self heal to carry his own weight in case the healer gets shuffled badly.

Bounty hunter is almost as good and can do stuff from multiple positions, but lacks the self sustain. I'd say he's about as good as a hellion.

Continuing from
>>169048015
I just thought of a visual idea that instead of a normal pig, it could be originally a once beautiful village waif that was kidnapped and turned into a sane-less pigwoman. Something not exactly morbidly grotesque like Siren but visually horrifying but close to a tortured human being with pig-like features. Like when the player finds her in the boss room that makes them feel bad for the deformity and try to put her out of her misery.

Now hear me out. I'm not saying she has to be cute, just to the point where you can tell she was human but so disfigured that you would feel mortified than cautious in your mission to destroy the swine source. The idea is that you're there on the quest to stop her from breeding more pigmen but to end a tortured soul who is forced into that role. Just a thought, I earnestly want Red Hook to try new things and they have been making bosses that are just plain evil but maybe create a new character that will make you say 'now this shit is fucked up.' In my opinion, all the bosses had some beef with the ancestor in some direct/indirect way and they continue to do wrong willingly so a boss that sparks a distorted sympathy could bring out DD's horror in a another darker sense.

Look through the guide in OP

Upgrade the stage coach first before anything. Don't waste resources on stress heal or upgrading heroes. Trash the ones who have become useless or afflicted. You get new ones that may or may not be better plus they come with their own upgraded weapons, all maxed skills to their tailored resolve level plus camping skills. Your easily renewable assets are your heroes that can all be easily replaced (unless you want to achievement of keeping reynault and dismas to the end).

Before the expedition, make sure you know what you actually want before going anywhere. Pick the quest that has your most interest (normally a rare twinket, good event or the right length/difficulty). Buy the absolute necessities which are food, torches (keep it lit for 75-100 if you don't want trouble, it can determine the dungeon's mob spawns and moderating difficulty) plus items for status effects or more importantly to safely use on curios to get more loot. Shovels are versatile for curios but the most expensive. What you need to get for curios all depends on the dungeon, some more favorable like herbs are frequently used in Warrens or Holy Water in Ruins.

During expedition, make room for loot depending on what you may find valuable. Make sure you look at the bottom of the floor for traps you can click on. Trap disarm can depend on the hero's ability to disarm them (HWM, HM or GR can disarm traps better than Leper, Vestal or Crusader). If need be, you can backtrack at the expense of stress if you want to do a loop around to avoid trouble. Sometimes, a hero's quirk can activate a curio by approaching it without your consent so make sure you use the right item when they try to activate it.

In battle, you either want to kill one or two as fast as possible instead of diving the damage via grapeshot or other AoE. If you can't kill and you need to buy time, stun, shuffle or debuff the enemy so they can't coordinate or use their most dangerous skills.

Bring a few more torches than you would normally, and do a lot of cove runs for the coral curio. Also, have some kind of plan to deal with Vvulf if he crashes your hamlet before you're ready for him. Either make a Man-at-Arms become one of the first four heroes you get to level 5, or have have some extra roster space to sacrifice a level 0 to him if you aren't worried about reaching the death cap.

have Jester finale, then stress heal/buff until the debuff as almost worn off, then solo+finale again

Make sure your rank 2 can fight in rank 3, like a graverobber or bounty hunter or houndmaster or whatever

Abomination is just like a crusader or leper but does more damage and can hit 3 ranks.
He goes well with a jester as the stress healing can counteract the transformation stress.
You're probably going to take an occultist with him as the vestal is unavailable.

its mostly pretty good

It seems to not mention marking parties, though
bounty hunter/arbalest/hound master do +50-100% extra damage vs marked targets, graverobber/highwayman do +25%
BH/arbalest/HM/occultists can mark people

If you have multiple markers on a team you can have one mark while the others attack. The markiest party would be bountyhunter+houndmaster+occultist+arbalest

I love how well that blends with their backgrounds.
The highwayman can whitstand a few punches and goes into a fight with a pragmatic approach, while the grave robber fights with flashy moves and tries to avoid taking any damage at all.
HWM is an older, hardened outlaw who has learned how to survive, while GR is still young and fresh out of her pampered lifestyle, relying on luck to carry her trough a fight and finding herself in trouble when it runs out

HWM is better against enemies that bleed and uses +%dmg trinkets/buff more effectively (in the GR's case it's crits).

They've got the different camp skills as well as different dynamics in general: HWM is better for bosses where you NEED high consistent damage, whereas the GR is better for sustaining herself and the party with her camp skills and relatively frequent (but unreliable) crits.

One thing I don't like about HWM is how you're encouraged to focus on either his gun or blade, which is less interesting than a more balanced moveset.

There's more to say, but I'm mobile cancer, so

Sure the HWM has more consistent damage but the GR shits crits like that's all she can do. She requires no set up to be at maximum effectiveness, whereas the HWM needs camp buffs to help with his shitty -damage mods and things like Tracking Shot to make his ranged attacks half decent. PBS is good but guess what, all you're hitting is enemies in rank 1 with 40%+ Prot; Lunge can hit ranks 1, 2, and 3.

That just plays into how the HWM requires set up to be effective. One thing I don't know about riposte is how it factors in accuracy.

You don't need to be reliant on Cru just to get to the boss. You could also do two Crusaders in the front and then switch them in the middle with Hellion on the front so the third row can spam holy lance while the second one could use his utility skills or attempt to break the pews.

> You could also do two Crusaders in the front and then switch them in the middle with Hellion on the front
I forgot to add, just make sure you switch up the formation or necessary skills right before you enter the boss room. The boss room is almost always at the room that's furthest from the starting panel.

Fuck, I think the new Champion Enemy in the Ruins is the worst, I thought it was Skiver first, but fuck. Get that guy when you have no one who can get him in front for your Crusader and no one who can clear corpses and you're pretty much fucked. I'm still salty he brought back a fucking Bone General no sweat. I have met the Ghast but I killed him pretty easy, he didn't do much to me though so I couldn't size him up well. The Weald one was a bit annoying but she's not that hard IMO.

SPD, stuns, occultist, shuffle party, crit and anti eldritch all help against him.

Ideally you can hunt for him in no torch quest with a shuffle party of two frontline hwm, gr and occ in the back to do serious damage or attempt to stun him with GR/Occ on the first round to gather that DPS before he summons his tentacles. The key is to kill him quickly, find a way around his shuffle and try not to die to his minions. What you don't want is a long fight with him.

So I fucked up and went against the shambler when I really shouldn't have, got a TPK and lost few good trinkets. My first shambler event appeared. I obviously would like to get them back, but I have few questions about him

Do I have to do the event instantly, will he disappear if I do another mission first?

I heard that he escapes in the 4rd or 5th round of battle, does that mean I have to kill him before that to get my trinkets back? How is that even possible without some insane luck considering his sick dodge rate?

Any recommended parties/strategies/general tips against him?

Pretty much self-sufficient. Two with heal and front line skills, two back with stress and bodyguard. Completely doable.

Like HM, can be effective but they have no support skills that keeps each other alive. Has to kill quickly or stun in order to survive.
>Graverobber for infinite lunges

Same as BH only more squishy. Reliant on dodge chance and destroying the enemy before breaking down.

Toss-away party for maximum money. Damage is a serious problem through and long battles ahead. So long as you dedicate a person to spam dodge and heal, the rest should gang up on one enemy and move on to the next.

>>
>>169209549
Bell icon is a town effect buff, like +damage in that specific dungeon or +virtue chance, and the enemy buff is a permanent aura buff so long as the Bone Bearer, backrow guy, is alive.

The way they apply this 'rightful virtue chance' in-game is through trinkets, like Crusader's Holy Orders and Vestal's Virtuous Chalice. The Abom also has one, so it's strange that the Leper doesn't, and, in fact, has a trinket that decreases virtue chance.

They both have to enter DD4, but you don't need to beat it with them. This means you should never send them to any other DD mission since that'll make them refuse to go to the last one. If you waned to guarantee getting the achievement you could just never use them past week three, then send them on a suicide run to the boss and you'd still get the achievement.

Just use units that can heal themselves, such as HM, Leper, Abomination, and the Arbalest can't heal herself, but her bandages heal others as well as buff their heals. PD is also good, as even a few points of health is better than nothing. Also buy all the food.

Camp when everyone is low on health and use skills like the bandage or the Arbalest's triage for healing. Or stall out a fight against 2 weak enemies like the bone rabble and heal until you feel like killing them.

I failed DD3 after getting through the first 2 with few problems at all. I stacked bleed resist, then everything blighted instead. I made it pretty damn far until a second consecutive fight against 2 hounds and 2 flying things. I was already doing poorly and got blighted right away. I ran and abandoned the quest and lost a BH, could have been worse and lost my GR with 3 locked in traits. Tried to do GR-Occultist-Crusader-BH and it didn't work well enough
>>
>>169130135
I always wanted something with like the abomination related things, Like a boss that is the abomination, but it's lost it's sanity, aimlessly wandering the ruins for more things to kill. Of course it would have blight and rake attacks, but it would also have like a screech that does stress and chew in which does bleed. I always thought of a boss that wasn't caused by the ancestor's dickery but because of the cults that follow The heart of darkness . I would call it deformed abomination, but Theres probably a better name for it. Anyway, it's probably a shit idea, but I just wanted it to get out there.

That is, without any modifiers (including light modifiers), there is a 10% chance of the party being surprised, a 10% chance that the monsters are being surprised and 80% chance for no surprise happening.

Oh, I forgot that. I haven't been surprised once so far in the campaign I started, is 10% chance to get surprised the lowest it can go, or do speedy heroes get it?

How does scouting work? I think it helps that I get a decent amount of scouts, which prevents you from getting surprised.

FUCK the siren so fucking hard in her fucking asshole. Fucking piece of shit fish taco ugly bitch.

So I just tried my hand at the champion Siren for the second time. The first time I HAD to withdraw because of shitton bad RNG in the hallways before, and the beginning of the fight being outright cheating on her part. Anyway, I sent out the best of the best crit-eldritch slaying team with Arb-Occ-Occ-BH. The usual bullshit happens in the hallways before the fight, but only the BH becomes masochistic and things seemed OK while camping (although 8 fucking resting points were discarded because the BH was not accepting buffs).

So I chuck 4 fucking holy waters and enter the door to the cheating piece of shitfish. First round in, Siren steals my BH. Ok, that's fucking bullshit with the debuff trinkets and holy water but whatever. The BH then proceeds to flashbang my Occ, stunning him and moving him back, making my Arb completely useless. Fucking great start.

I go on, my BH finally returns to the me, and she immediately steals him again. The holy water buff was still active so that's twice this bullshit happened. A couple of rounds later, BH returns to my party and she immediately steals the Arbalest. I mean, isn't there supposed to be a fail chance on that cheating ass move?
Naturally, the Arbelest moves right behind her, so that she can immediately crit my Occ. I mean, I figured she could only 'steal' party members to the front of her row, but apparently the move was not deemed bullshit enough and she just gets to choose. Fucking fuck.
So I trudge on through the fight, and she kills my Occ on the first death door. He didn't get one save in, no nothing, just immediately dead. My second Occ stabs her ass back and finally finishes her. Feeling slightly relieved, her 1 surviving fishy companion crits the Occ, and the bleed makes him die immediately. Again, not a single death door save, just the very first chance of dying, dead.

The Arbelest is fucking useless by now, since she is in position 2. Why party members don't leave corpses while a fucking jellyfish does is beyond me. Anyway, it's up to the retard BH who keeps self-harming him to finish the final piece of shit fish. After 2 dodges (at 84% chance to hit) he finally lands the killing blow. He was 6 stress away from having a heart-attack, too.

I don't know if I am extremely unlucky, or if there is some secret tactic that I am just nog seeing here, but the RNG for this bitch-fight is through the roof and I am never setting foot in that whole piece of shit dungeon again.

What's a good team for Swine God? I had no problem with the Prince and King variants but had a full wipe against the Swine God last night. Team was Arb/Vestal/HWM/Hellion. I got him down the 2 HP with Wilbur still alive. I forgot the mark clearing ability on my Arb, which didn't help.

I want to say Arb/Vestal/HM/BH could work, stun resist trinkets on Arb and mark the Swine God down. Arb can clear marks and has mark synergy, HM can guard/stun if needed and mark synergy, Vestal for healing and BH for stun/marking synergy.

I went in with a Vestal/Jester/HM/Hellion, first time I ever ran that comp. It worked but if I got crit things could have gone south. I took a lot of damage initially in some fights and had to heal up.

I think PD is the best character in the fucking game for how well she stuns and shuffles in addition to healing bleed/blight and boosting damage. Blight is also great for Ruins/Cove

It's only bad if he's afflicted. Also, pair him up with other markers and you wouldn't have a problem. He's the 10/10 class if you want humans, pigmen or fungal people dead. Take Occultist, Houndmaster or Arby with him, mark enemies and watch him ohko everything you come across. He's a serious damage dealer if you pair a party for him, don't make him go alone with bad party synergy. The key is to mark things with others or have him mark things so that the concentrated fire will kill enemies really quickly before they become a huge threat.

Occultist/Houndmaster/ManAtArms/Leper.

Tough ring and life crystal or ancestral bottle on MaA. Have him guard whoever is targeted. If he's targeted, guard someone anyways to get that PROT bonus.

Have the occultist spam the damage lowering curse on vulvf to weaken the bombs. Or heal if needed.

HM is very helpful with stun and as an extra guard unit. He won't be using stun in the final fight, so move him to he third rank so MaA can attack if he needs to. From the third rank dog treat boosted hounds rush deals plenty of damage to vulvf.

The leper after a revenge can deal a ton of damage. Because vulvf can guard his units without getting a PROT buff himself, Leper can strike him even if he's in the third rank by attacking the guarded bandit. I chose leper instead of something like BH only Because the Leper is bulkier and can self heal during the fights leading up to the boss

At least that's what I did and it worked well.
Just be careful of Madman on the way there, vulvf spams a stress attack so it's good to go in with as little as possible.
>>
>>169286567
Occultist to spam debuffs and make his only threat, useless. Arby could use her flare if you think you're having trouble with flares. Other than that, houndmaster and bountyhunter to complete the mark synergy since he's just a big fat health bar to crumble or use leper/hellion for simplicity. Hwm+MAA for ripostes and point-blank fire also does wonders but make sure you have arby to do handy flares if you do get marked/stunned. Occultist makes the fight trivialized, remember to save Wilbur for last and aim towards Swine god first. Or you can safely use PD to stun Wilbur without incurring backlash.
>>
>>169300665
>. I chose leper instead of something like BH only Because the Leper is bulkier
If you're going to guard someone anyway, isn't that redundant? Leper is a good choice through if you want someone self-efficient, stress heals and overall good damage trader but Bounty hunter is well suited for singular human bosses like Vvulf.

>self sufficient
Yeah that's a better way of phrasing it, my bad.
He is able to buff his own prot, in addition to intimitdate to lower incoming damage. I worried about the chance of a crit slice from the bandit minions, so at the time it seemed that Leper would be better at eating hits if I wasn't able to guard him for whatever reason, such as already having the MaA guarding someone else. I know the HM has a guard, but I'm a little worried about it only because dodge isn't guaranteed to always work, and HM is kinda squishy. I only use it as a last resort.

Maybe next time I'll bring a BH to kill him faster. He is my favorite hero after all.

I remember now, it was because my only level 5 BH died to the Swine King during the previous week.

Really shitty if you don't know what you're doing, like knowing good party compositions and what buildings to upgrade first. You have 86 weeks to beat the game and 1 week passes every time you run a mission.

IT's for the best m8. Darkest isn't easy mode, Stygian is just not for new players.
>>
So, I completed Radiant mode but took around 80 weeks when it's supposed to be the fast mode, now I'm on Stygian and I only have 86 ? I'm at week 7 or 8 and I downed the apprentice necro and have the prophet up, is this slow ? Does it get faster later ? Or am I pretty much fucked ? I make a point of always taking a Vestal with me, if one isn't available I take an Occ. Also, can you even afford auntie runs or that's a no-no ?
>>
>>169312574
The trick to completing Stygian is not thinking you have to do everything to beat it. You only need to finish the Darkest Dungeon missions. Only beat bosses and grab trinkets you think are absolutely necessary for that task.
>>
>>169312574
80 weeks for Radiant mode is ridiculous anon. Judging a run by boss completion is pointless because bosses are optional.

In Stygian I reach DD1 by about week 45 if I recall correctly.

Alright, thanks, I guess I'll just try to rush a good DD1 party to 6 and get the good trinkets. How's Crusader, Hellion with medicinal herbs to counter her debuff, Jester and Vestal sound ? That's how I did it in Radiant.
Also, what trinkets do people usually shoot for ? I had 3 Sun Rings for my damages and Junia's Head and that Vestal Tome for the Vestal and it felt pretty nice.

What explanation do you want? Everyone knows about how great frontline HWM/AQ is already. Occultist is a great all arounder able to do big heals, move enemies, and deal very respectable damage to ranks 3-4. PD offers wonderful stunning potential for the back ranks which is even more desirable when running a composition which hits the front rank half the time with point blank shots.

If you beat a darkest dungeon level before, the same party you used should do just as well in Stygian. The only exception would be the final boss, which got buffed to be significantly harder. The first party you get to level five should ideally be your DD2 party, since it also doubles as a great Vvulf party.

Im curious, what happens if you party wipe during the first few dungeons before you have enough of a stagecoach updated/enough heroes?

Do you just have to do a dungeon with 2 heroes? Like im saying what happens if you wipe with reynauld dismas vestalhoe and plague waifu?

I had the same problem, here is how I handled it.

The best way to deal with stress is to focus down stress-dealing enemies before anyone else. Limit the amount of times they attack to a minimum, and make sure they die as soon as possible. Beyond that, use stress-healing abilities during quests. All heroes can relieve stress while camping, some better than others. The jester, houndmaster, and crusader classes have skills that let them relieve stress during combat too.

Additionally, you can just dismiss heroes that have too much stress. You don't have to fix everyone, if a low-level hero gets afflicted it's simply cheaper to throw them away and hire a new one. Heroes are free, after all.

I've seen that video with 20 weeks or something on new Stygian and wow DD4 is looking pretty damn challenging now, I'm worried about my success there more than any other DD.

Do you get a lot more stress now? I think getting a +% virtue chance trinkets should be a good idea then? That guy who did 20 weeks run on Stygian almost lost his crusader on Ancestor and he got fairly lucky while fighting the Heart, a couple of death doors without a death blow.

My idea was a rabidly zealous monk with limited combat skills but a lot of debuff abilities and a strong self stress heal. Had no weapon, he just punched things with indignant fervor.

I'd definitely consider DD4 harder than the other missions now, at least on Stygian. Then again, my party was Vestal/Arbalest/Highwayman/Crusader, which wasn't very good and almost lost me the fight. If I had to do it again I'd probably bring a Plague Doctor and Hellion, and equip -stress% trinkets. The biggest challenge is during phase one, dealing with the replications' stress nukes. I swear the chance for him to spawn imperfects was lowered too.

What is the highest possible +stress modifier?
I would think it'd be something like an ancestral trinket and the tempting goblet, in a corridor, from a humanoid swine enemy, against a hero with claustrophobia, automatonaphobia, fear of mankind, zoophobia, and warrens phobe, at pitch black light level. That comes out to well over +100% stress, but can anybody come up with a more extreme combo?

Before you go out on missions, give all of your rare and up trinkets to idle heroes. The level of the crow is based on the trinkets it steals. If it can only take lower tier trinkets, it will be veteran or apprentice.

A hero that stared into the abyss, but the abyss stared back. His insanity would be his strength. He'll be more effective the higher his stress levels are, but in return he's not very efficient when his stress is low and he shares the same religious hero restrictions as the abom.
>>
>>169346359
> what should I focus on next, guild or blacksmith
Both. Guild first for the skills. Get and upgrade the skills you need for the combination your parties will be synergizing together and it will be more worthwhile and cheaper than upgrading a single hero's weapons/armor. Upgrade guild, then weapons and finally armor in that order. It's important to first make your skills more stronger and potent, then you are almost always going to be on the attack to kill enemies before they hurt you so you upgrade weapons first for the damage, ACC and SPD bonus they provide; finally armor dictates your team's chances of survival so if you plan on using a particular hero from then on, then upgrade their armor and make them worthwhile.

I recommend you don't upgrade any weapons or armor unless you
>have leveled this hero to resolve lv 4
>are absolutely going to need this hero for a long time
>not going to get another hero to replace it (has great quirks or rare in your stage coach)
You can start veterans whenever you have a 4 resolve lv 3+
It's recommended that you dump the ones that will cost you a pretty penny in the long run. If a hero is diseased, has a ton of bad quirks, needs to level a lot of his skills+gear and/or afflcited then dump him. You have fully upgraded your stage coach that will give you 3+ veterans who bring with them fully upgraded skills and gear so if you are in need of a few more dependable people then get them on your roster asap. Quirks are the second thing you consider if you're choosing to have heroes stay on your list or get fired and replaced.

>>
>>169349204
>Couple of questions for a new player do certain areas/missions have tendency to inflict more stress then normal on certain units?
The higher the difficulty of the mission, the stronger the basic enemies become and you have to face new ones to boot. Stress is managed by dedicated stress heals or keeping your torch lit above 75+. If it goes down then you're debuffed to take more stress damage from enemies. Your quirks also enhance or stop stress from getting out of hand.
> how do I deal with the funk ton of damage the prophet fish's out?
You use MAA or HM for their guard skills and buff their PROT or dodge. Then have heroes that can reach the back row or destroy the pews to get more gold and reach the Prophet on the third or second row.
>>
>>169349625
>arby + PD + HM + BH
Bring more food, make sure they're fed and you should be fine. If you're low on food or saving it for camp then make sure there are a few weak enemies before you heal. If you're facing 3-4 enemies or 1-2 champions then drop the healing and just push your DPS on killing the weak ones first (normally the backrow or stress dealers)

I tried this thing out, and lemme tell you; it's fucking weird.

It's bullshit stats are one thing, but the party blight/bleed remove is insanely OP in the Weald and Cove, not to mention 'oh hey I'll use the Occultist's pull AND mark myself AND increase my prot all at the same time.' It can guard someone and heal itself at the same fucking time, and it's camping stress heals are ridiculous.

It has shit damage and really wonky attacks, but it'll never die so who cares. Only one color palette, garbage dialogue and really overdone combat portraits. Still, compared to some of those custom classes this is probably one of the least fucky. It's basically Man at Arms without riposte, making up for it in huge party buffs.

I was too cautious that I might not have been able to reap all the rewards. I left a lot of gold out because I was stern on sticking to either heirlooms or gold but can't drop any spare provisions to heal and torch the journey. Maybe the provisions I had left could've been loads of gold but at least I got the cool pen out of my hard work.

You absolutely can. I first had a veteran Shrieker, let it sit there for a while, and eventually I got another, champion one. The game somehow started showing 2 champion Shrieker quests (?). After the game restart it became just one champion Shrieker. I fought him and now I'm back to the veteran Shrieker.

Jester's finale is up there, but the best thing in general are crits, they are just so satisfying to watch, the higher the better, I especially like the Doggomasters crits for some reason, there is just something especially fun about a simple dog fucking up eldritch horros left and right.

There's no incentive to do Champ dungeons because you can reach lvl 6 doing Veteran ones, but I really wanted to explore Champ dungeons for the new content. Honestly I prefer normal or Stygian mode for the challenge.

Also I'm in week 42 and I haven't encountered the Shrieker yet. Is there a condition that has to be met in order to encounter it?

I consider sending Dismas and Reynauld to DD, and send 2 antiquarians with them just to kill them
rate my idea
>>
>>169413059
Why not just send them alone.

2 Aunties could actually work if you do it right.
>>
>>169356271
Is Dogemaster there to give the big guards? That's the only way i see this working.

Swap someone for a Man at Arms/Antequarian for guarding and it'll be a solid team.

Man, shambler hunting is fun.
>>
>>169415182
Yes Doge was there to guard, but he never ended up doing it actually.

I just DPS'd the Prophet down before anyone could die.
>>
>>169416498
Congrats anon, that's the map right? The best one?

I have YET to see that trinket and I have 200+ hours on this game...
>>
>>169417307
That's the scroll. Also Candle > Map > the rest.

>I have YET to see that trinket and I have 200+ hours on this game...
Just kill 5 shamblers, in theory you can do it in five in game weeks.
>>
>>169417307
No, it's the scroll, one of the most useless trinkets. Besides, I already had all shambler trinkets, including the map. I'm just killing shamblers and selling the scroll over and over for the money.
>>
>>169417651
>>169417663
Ah, I've never seen the scroll before either. Candle is really better than map?

I figured scouting was more important than any stats.

For shambler hunting you just do dark runs and hope for an altar?
>>
>>169417990
altars are often not even necessary. in champion dungeons, a shambler has a 12% chance to replace a regular hallway battle at 0 torch.
>>
>>169417990
Candle is god tier.

>+damage
>+speed

Only way it could be better is if it had +crit.

What's wrong with the bottle?
>>
>>169417663
Scroll isn't totally useless, it works in town, and for self-healers like the leper or abom it's usable.
>>
>>169420134
Nothing, it's just that having more health doesn't help enemies die faster, and killing them asap is the general point of the game
>>
vvulf's trinket is such trash. compare it something like a sun ring or a moon ring. The damage buff versus marked should be a lot higher.
>>
>>169420658
>if something isn't as good as the best two items in the game, it's trash

The game is trying to spare you from that piece of shit class.

Holy shit lmao. That was really fun. Also, just lost to the wizened hag because I my only fucker who could hit the back row was Arbalest.
>>
Is there a repository of the freshest, highest quality memes, reaction pictures, and image macros for this general?
>>
>>169422345
Yeah, learning the hard way is the best experience really. It's so brutal.

I just experienced my first swine skiver blind.

SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT DAMAGE WHAT THE FUCK

>>169423001
>SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT DAMAGE WHAT THE FUCK
Kek.
>learning the hard way is the best experience really

It's the best way. I don't care to lose hundred times and raging hard. This is what fun looks like. After I win the game I will look at strategy tips.
>>
>>169423001
Skivers are worse than the swine god. Fuckin pig spear chucker killed my lvl6 bh like nothing. Then again, whenever I use the bh, even with massive damage buffs via trinkets, he hits like a fucking Daisy, meanwhile arbalest crits and shits on the enemy. Hell, even bh's mark is completely worse than the housemaster.

Does anything trigger the Shrieker or is it a random event like Vvulf?
>>
>>169422345
You should have figured out that killing Wilbur was a bad idea after the first attack you idiot. The swine prince immediately retaliates for massive damage and your heroes say something along the lines of "he doesn't like it when we attack the little one". It could not have been any more clear you fucking retard.

Idiots like you, celebrating their own stupidity is the fucking worst thing.

This dungeon went far better than expected. I was worried a bit because the party composition seemed suboptimal.
>>
>>169426284
>gold stacks only 1500

Good haul, but I thought stacks were 1750 now? Or is that just Radiant mode?
>>
>>169412721
Shit, Red Hook you lied! You said it wasn't easy mode but it actually was. I thought RNG was being nice to me this whole time when I was on the bitch mode you dirty rats.
>>
>>169427963
I'm playing an older build.
>>
>>169427983

Radiant Mode isn't really that easy, if you make a stupid mistake the game will punish you for it and you're still open to getting rekt by memespiders and giants.

For a new player they can still look forward to getting rekt the moment they get overconfident, and all the classics like hunger checks, shamblers and inventory problems are still there.

Having Level 4 adventurers able to go on Beginner missions is pretty retarded though, it's the only part of the mode that feels a bit phoned in.

pirated the game.

Ironically, I bought it as a gift for a friend too, and he doesn't even like it.

I really need to use that skill more often just to hear all the unique barks they all have,

Also, I never knew 0 Light runs would be so good, I thought the +loot wasn't gonna be worth it.

Is it better to just toss lower value gems in favor of gold or what?

>they're fucking annoying
There's your fucking answer dingus
Change what you're using as in use corpse clear if they're that bad dude
>>
>>169438069

I haven't even gotten a leper yet
>>
>>169438216
I guess it depends. I usually toss the low value gems because i typically don't find enough of that gem to make it worth spending a slot on, as opposed to consistently finding gold
>>
>>169437634
Sure, if you want to lock yourself out of the Strict Mode achievement until you start a new save. Use heroes that can hit the back row better, clear corpses, or deal damage via DoT effects.

>>169438069

So are you not supposed to kill the Shrieker or something?

You get more from killing the nest?
>>
>>169443398
Killing the Shrieker is the hard way of winning the fight.

Killing the nest makes the Shrieker leave faster. Even if you do kill it, another one takes its place.
>>
>>169442934
sell it.
>>
>>169443580
Really?

I just encountered my first Shrieker. It was Veteran level and I killed it no problem. It was surprisingly easy. Guess I got lucky
>>
I just couldn't find marking to be any good, the Hag easily burns through the marks with having 2 turns and all.
