i really want that 'map' shambler trinket

is there any cheesy way to make a low level one spawn? i get fucking destroyed by a higher level shambler in 2 turns because my comp is not good against it

>>170431254

You could just run around in the dark until it shows up.

>>170431345
can it spawn on tiles ive already visited?

Why doenst it reain in the hamlet?

Yeah, every randomly generated hallway battle can be a shambler. I had a shambler spawn once between me and an already scouted secret room which I was going back to get. Could not get past him and had to retreat and go home without my loot. It felt really fucking awful.

Dear guy who says occultist goes in slot three,

fuk u occultist best abilities are wyrd/pull/two curses

If I equip Ancestor's Portrait just before the quest is finished, is it enough to get the +50% Resolve?

>>170431254
Once had a really shitty two weeks. I've been doing 0 lvl dark runs for moneys, and had two party wipes in a row. First one was 3 affliction and a stalwart GR, who remained last and died on the first DD check, when I thought it was time to retreat. The second one got eaten by a shambler 2 rooms from entrance. That really sucked.

Can I save them all?

oh look, he can do all that from pos 3

Also, weakening curse is an EXTREMELY situational skill, since most of the time the turn is better spent doing more important stuff that actually contributes killing the enemy (like you know, hitting it with a dagger), which also has the effect of taking less damage (since the enemy is dead sooner), So i while it is a nice skill, i would argue against having it slotted for all but certain bossfigths.

Also also, hex suffers from the above, although to a much lesser extent, still: its main value is in marker parties, in wich most likely you will have an arblest, and its much better to reserve the 4th pos for her in case someone get knocked behind her. This also applies to other heavily backrow dependet heroes like PD.

>>170433626
would saving that tiny ammount of stress worth sacraficing 1 inventory/trinket slot for the mission?

>>170436121
ofc he can do all from pos 3 and from pos 4 same as houndmaster

flexible positioning is a good thing not a bad thing

idk, I never bother with dagger on occultist because I never get to the point in a fight where I don't need to heal/pull/mark and the enemy team isn't dead

the only time I see it being useful is against 4x trash encounters if you don't have someone who can kill more than one, and you can't predict those so why slot it

then again I never run him outside marker parties, so

it helps in cleanup (why pull and mabye have the 3rd pos survive if you can kill it?), and makes him able to hurt the front 2 too.

In the end, it increases the number of situations he can contribute/his utility, which is nice beacuse he IS mainly a utility guy (i pity the fool who have him as the sole main healer. even marker party has arblest healing too )

>>170441113
>why pull
because he isn't going to be killing anything without trinkets, and his trinkets should be focused on debuff application or healing

Pull hits 4th row and prevents things like courtiers and such from using strong back row attacks, while doing 50% damage

I run with BH/BH/HM, front row is stronger than back row.

If you take an eldbitch slaying occultist into the cove, stab is a billion times better than weakening curse. There is not a single enemy that is worth wasting a turn reducing damage on. I understand weakening a giant in the weald, but against the fish people i'd rather dish out 20 damage stabs on the fucking groupers and kill them asap than do anything else. What are you even going to weaken there? Thralls because they're about to blow up? Just fucking stab em instead. Snibeti snabs? Curse does nothing against bleed.

>>170433626
Yeah, but you'd need to make that useful.

Don't get me wrong, i know full well how insanely useful pull is. I love running x/occultist/crusader/leper and taking lewd pics of stressing fucks growing new anuses.

I meant in situations where you only have the pos3 guy (4th is dead), with the 3rd also damaged (say PD blight). you either pull him which he might survive needing an another guys action to finish off, or kill him with just 1 move. Dagger has some nice damage and pulled me out of the shitter quite a few times. It also helps in dealing with front rows, and in situation where shit REALLY gone sour, and you want that fucker dead NOW (say everyone is dotted, even if cured/healed up they will just get dotted again, or high on stress). Usually against shambler and bosses, or after bad crits.

But hey, the magic of this game is that everyone can meld it to his/her own styles.

Except pos 2 vestal. Thats universally shit.

There's something about the way the game and its characters totally ignore deaths after they've happened that makes losses even more unnerving.

Like, those deaths can't even serve a dramatic purpose that the game can acknowledge -- you've just lost out on possibilities and it's up to you to carry that weight.

Deaths could provide a /kind/ of value in long term if characters barked from time to time that they "miss Dismas", but, as is, you're left 'playing with yourself' in that regard, and it feels pathetic.

how is a GR used best?

>>170445859
I posted in the last thread my bad idea for this game was to implement a "friendship" mechanic, where if heroes where frequently paired up together, they'd get small buffs in combat. but if one of them died, they'd lose the buffs and take a huge amount of stress damage.

>>170445859
I would love a companion/friendship system where frequently pairing up the same team could result in bonds/buffs when working together and extra stress/affliction when one is lost.

>>170445859
Do you think these people go to an eldrich shithole to live happily ever after?
Everyone there, is there to die. Them they do, are the lucky ones.
After each expedition a toast and a free round is called for the fallen, then everyone carries on almost hoping to be the next one.

They dont "miss" Dismas. They envy him.

As an extra bonus if you check out their modders page you can see they're talking about being about a week's worth of work away from being done. I'd say that puts us at 2 or so weeks till mod support is out.

I challenged a Shambler with some level 1s and 0s and no upgraded gear or skills, on Stygian.

I learned that this is not wise. Nobody died since I had the good sense to at least retreat.

I could make a version of Musket mod that disables Arbelest sawning. Would you guys like that? Might be glitchy...

>>170449690
The Arbalest is fine as long as you reskin her into an actual waifu.

>>170449639
I don't need to touch a red hot stove to know it's not a good idea, anon.

>>170450081
I never challenged a Shambler until late in the game in Darkest. I wasn't sure what to expect. Every time I fought a Shambler I had dank trinkets and upgrades.

>>170450923
> You will learn from this defeat

>>170449639
On Stygian especially it's a good idea to only challenge a Shambler if you're really confident in your party composition and have a campfire available for after/already finished the quest.

>>170451337
I was confident in my composition but the heals could not keep up. Normally the heals can't keep up with a Shambler so you just out DPS him, but the heals REALLY weren't keeping up.

Is six deaths at week 55-60 acceptable in PBD? Got two From Beyonds and difficulty is Darkest.

New player here, I've explored the Ruins, Weald, and Warren and have a grip on them, but I've never been to the Cove.

I understand I can expect suicide bombers and high-prot enemies? What is better to bring, blight or bleed? What kind of items should I pack for the intractables there?

Just bought this game.

Any quick tips that aren't that fucking infographic novel in the OP you guys wanna share with me would be appreciated, please and thank you.

>>170462352
Scouting is more important than it seems

Always take 4-8 more food than you think you need due to the stupid hunger tiles system

Same with shovels unless you're going to the warrens - straight paths mean you're going to need a shovel or suffer stress and health damage if there's a wall in your way

There's less risk to treating stress in the abbey than the bar as they won't lose trinkets or money

that's all I can think of for now

>>170462352
Stuns are godsends. If you have the option to attack an enemy to deal dmg and stun him, stun him.

Best strategy is to try to take out one enemy before they have a turn to attack and stun kill the rest.

Plague doctors are the best.

>>170462352

- Play Radiant or Darkest first, Stygian will kick your ass unless you know the game inside out. Radiant is better for new players, but teaches bad habits, so the choice is yours.

- Upgrade your Stagecoach first so it gives you four heroes every week

- Instead of picking a team of four and using them all the time (the game is designed to discourage you from doing this), you should grab whatever four you can off the stagecoach and throw them in a party, then do a dungeon.

- It doesn't matter if your noob heroes die or get diseased/stressed out, they're just disposable, it's more important you use gem get resources and trinkets - this is also the fastest way to learn new heroes, how the battle system works, and so on.

- Playing in darkness increases risks but you get more gold, so give it a go and play at different lights to see how it works.

- Occasionally you'll get some BAMF that survives against the odds, those are the guys you keep to use later so it hurts more when you lose them

- Learn what provisions activate what curios - it allows you to avoid risky stuff and massively boosts your gold and heirloom intake.

- Plague Doctor best waifu

- REMIND YOURSELF

>>170464191
I'm doing Stygian right now and you don't need to rush something if you're not prepared. You could probably take the hag no problem, but it's more important to measure your cash and heirlooms than rush missions for levels. The death limit is a far bigger deal than the time limit.

Kill stress-dealers as soon as possible, letting that pile up hurts you more than regular damage.

>>170462352
- Pay attention to your line-up, what moves they have and who they can target. Having no flexibility is a sure way to be killed due to a surprise shuffle or unfortunate push/pull skills

- Bleed and Blight are both better than you think they are

- All the characters that seem bad at first (Leper, Houndmaster, Jester) are bound to become your best and favorites once you get good

- Attacks and damage are superior to healing. Healing has a place, but it is a swim upstream. Usually better to focus on killing things quick or preventing damage with the intelligent use of stuns or line movement skills.

- A party of 4 damage dealers can be surprisingly good, especially when paired with offensive classes with a self heal (Leper, Crusader, Arb, Hound)

- Err on the side of packing extra supplies. Bandages, shovels, and food are cheaper than replacing skilled up heroes.

Yeah but a big holy sword might actually offer some benefit over a gun while fight skeletons and eldritch abominations, a matchlock is objectively inferior to a flintlock.

>>170471882
>Unfair

It's not about fairness because it's against the AI, but rather, RNG. Increase the average damage for enemies, but remove crits. Same damage income, but less RNG which is unnecessarily frustrating.

So in the long run you still receive the same amount of damage, but you don't lose characters because of crit+X with zero chance to retaliate.

>>170472507
I think in that case you'd get a lot of players complaining about how small their numbers feel compared to the enemy's. Granted that system would be fair damage wise, but that also throws the stress economy a bit out of whack. Do players still heal stress from crits? That would be giving the player a fair amount of freebies. It's also a double edged sword in the sense that it would make healing far worse than it already is. Personally sounds unnecessary to me since you can already scale down monster crits if you feel the need.

That aside, I feel one of the things RH should work on is how quirks gains are determined after a dungeon: they should absolute relate more sensically to what went on in the mission. If my MAA had a shitty, traumatic time in the Warrens, that would ideally be reflected on his character sheet.

Chris Bourassa was a podcast one time where the host started off with an anecdote which, after he'd experienced it, made him (the host) believe his Hellion had become a stress eater because of how he'd fed her during an affliction, and you could tell how uncomfortable Bourassa was having to skirt around the fact that this was bullshit.

>That aside, I feel one of the things RH should work on is how quirks gains are determined after a dungeon
I'm having a hard time getting more positive quirks than negative and trips to the weald rarely has unholy curio or often I get shitty quirks like stress faster or thick blooded. The only reliable way to lock in great quirks is to recruit heroes that innately have them despite the shitty ones they come with that can easily be taken out.

Should I trade heirlooms to upgrade the stagecoach in Stygian? I just saw the first Crusader since I started the run but I don't want to get rid of any level 1s or 2s. I could get rid of 3 busts and 12 crests to get 24 heroes on the roster. I read somewhere that it can set you back in Stygian

>>170478378
I personally focus more on not losing heroes than getting more, but you have to make sure you have enough to beat the DD.

There isn't much point in having a large roster size on Stygian, since you just need 16 to get all the darkest dungeon quests done. I only brought mine to 20 pretty late in the game in case I needed to train a replacement hero or Vvulf demanded a sacrifice, but luckily neither were necessary.

nice to have because it saves you money (they come with all skills leveled up and weapon/armor at their max level) and makes you not care when they die since there are no sunk costs

Slowly

>>170483097
why?
this >>170488106 sounds really convenient

I failed my first Stygian quest and lost out on 9 deeds and 9000 gold along with the dodge cloak. I feel like the run is over now.

How many failed quests can I have?

>>170490001
Looking at it now, it's not nearly as expensive as it was before, so it isn't as bad of an investment as it used to be. Still, it's only really useful for shortening the time it takes to grind up replacement heroes, and it's better to just not let them die in the first place. The odds for getting higher-level experienced recruits aren't that bad, but if you're looking to replace a specific class, you probably won't get the one you want.

For saving money you're better off using your busts to upgrade the sanitarium instead.

WAT

there's literally no reason to ever use the sanitarium until you're swimming in cash

GR and PD can heal any disease, and why would you bother spending so much $$$ to lock in/delete traits until you have more than 100k?

Where busts are considered, I'd prioritize the abbey, then the stagecoach, then the sanitarium

>>170491412
It doesn't matter how many quests you fail, as long as you get enough heroes upgraded in time to beat the darkest dungeon. I had to abandon four quests on my Stygian save, one of them on week 3 that killed my starter Vestal and Plague Doctor. I was still able to beat the game by week 53 without letting anyone else die until DD4.

>>170491412
If it's any consolation I got excited and went into the DD on week 36 before I was ready. Lost myself two level 5 houndmasters.

>>170492563
>why would you bother spending so much $$$ to lock in/delete traits until you have more than 100k?

>>170496265
Because I enjoy grinding and am on week 90. I only managed to fully upgrade my town two in game weeks ago, actually, so I was kinda going for that achievement.

Point stands - upgrading weapons and skills takes a lot of money, so locking in/erasing traits was never worth it to me until this point.

Deaths can almost always be prevented just by knowing when to cut your losses and roll for a retreat. Heroes dying are a bigger waste of resources than failing a quest, so it's always better to fail a quest than it is to lose a hero, unless they're fresh off the stagecoach. Situations where a death is completely out of your control are pretty rare, and just up to really bad luck. That said, if they're happening often enough that experienced recruits are saving you a meaningful amount of time and money, you're doing something wrong.

>there's literally no reason to ever use the sanitarium until you're swimming in cash
You should always be swimming in cash. Especially with the new economy changes, money's a complete joke. Antiquarians make it a laughingstock. The only time you'll be taking a significant hit to your income is when you're buying level 5 armor/weapons and maxing out skills, but even then you have a mountain of trinkets to sell, and an infinite amount of gold waiting for you in dungeons. Aside from upgrading skills and equipment, quirk management is the only other way to improve your heroes directly. It isn't necessary to beat the game, but it's makes things a lot easier in the long run.

>GR and PD can heal any disease
And clearing the back row first, bringing stress-healers, and having good camping skills can heal any stress you get in dungeons. That doesn't mean the abbey's obsolete. Curing diseases in the sanitarium is a convenience, for when you can't have your doctors and robbers babysit everyone's health.

>Where busts are considered, I'd prioritize the abbey
Ew.

>>170496265
Having a lot of money like this is normal, unless you're spending too much on stress-relief or your heroes are getting their level 5 upgrades.

>>170502123
Not that anon, but that's not an acceptable strat on Stygian. Experienced arrivals does help if you fall behind after a very bad run though, even if you should be able to avoid that by the time you're running Stygian files.

>>170501652
>Deaths can almost always be prevented just by knowing when to cut your losses and roll for a retreat.
yeah, yeah, I know, but I haven't played the game in a while, and there have been cases where I've really wanted a certain trinket and have pushed on in some stupid hope to achieve it when I shouldn't have. That's what gets me to make mistakes, personally.

>You should always be swimming in cash.
Hmm, I prioritized heirlooms over cash for the first year, so I never had too much with the weapon and skill upgrades. Only when I had my town leveled up to a good place did my bank account start building up.

>Curing diseases in the sanitarium is a convenience, for when you can't have your doctors and robbers babysit everyone's health.
100% true, but it's not that expensive even if you haven't spent the heirlooms to level it up.

>>Where busts are considered, I'd prioritize the abbey
>Ew.
Do you enjoy losing money and or trinkets to wild nights at the bar? Had that happen too often for my liking.

>>170502301

>>170502681
You'll probably still survive, but may want to invest in some healing camp skills. Sometimes I sub in a plague doctor to heal blight/bleed instead of the auntie. Arby may work too, especially since her camp heals are so good.

> New mimic enemy that disguises itself as curios that are usually almost interacted with like free torches, chests, etc. Has small details like bumps or cuts to differentiate with normal curios. Acts like a trap when interacted with and has a chance to surprise. Just a tanky biter.
> New Warrens boss that summons weak minions and interacts with their corpses to use. Such as body armour (Prot and HP), ATK buffs (body club), Meat Walls (Guard + Space blockage) or Stress and Debuffs (Throwing corpses).
> More insect enemies in the Weald, such as massive eldritch Mosquitoes, Beetles, Centipedes and etc.

>>170510542
All Houndmaster teams for every dungeon. I wanted a more challenging run and it seemed like a good compromise between feasible and difficult without getting tedious. I played around with a few "x only" comps after seeing an anon post some stuff from his Vestal only playthrough, but Houndmaster seemed the most enjoyable at the time so that's what I went for.

>>170511293
Definitely workable since they have that self heal. I've pondered doing a GR only run for a while but don't think I could do it since so many things have high PROT at L5.

>>170510948
Die in a fire

I'd recommend millipedes instead of centipedes, I find them more creepy for some reason

>>170511754
The self heal certainly helps. Unfortunately you can't use it in first position so if you get caught in a bad battle you need to prepare a party shuffle to heal your frontman or guard him and party for no AOE. I actually tried a pure BH run a while ago and it went well for the most part. GR would be a fair bit harder due to her stun being weaker and positionally limited, as well as not having mark synergy. It's probably possible if you stack speed trinkets hard and get really crafty with your turn choices.

A dungeon with light level being its gimmick. So most enemies would have abilities that make it darker, and you'd have to deal with keeping the lights on, because below a certain light level the enemies morph into much more powerful enemies with more abilities, but at high light they're generally weak-average strength foes.

Stuff like floating clusters of glowing eyes menacing in the dark, and other shadow-related things.

I think the Fire Emblem games had certain campaigns where you would need two pick two teams to fight at the same time. Maybe DD could have something like that. For example, it could have a lich type boss where you have to send one team to kill the lich itself, and the other to kill the it's soul-hidey-place (which is of course guarded by some gruesome monster.) That way, you can't just rely on a single A-team, you need two sets of good warriors to take it on.

It was really fucking stupid as well, I was around halfway done my first long Ruins run, still had 2 campfires, was in perfect shape, had plenty of food and torches, and instead of completing the dungeon first I got overconfident and challenged a Shambler. I figured I would get fucked up but still had 2 campfires to finish the dungeon and wanted to maximize food for camping so didn't want to go through more food checks than needed backtracking. The fucking Shambler had just over half health left, used Odorous Advancement and placed a 150% buffed Tentacle in the back, a new one in front, and him in the middle. My Crusader got hit for like 12 by Clapperclaw and I ran.

The initial shuffle fucked me, if my damn PD had stayed in the back and been able to blight it may have gone differently. But she was sent to the front. At least she had Bloody Herbs and Incision but it wasn't enough.

Ideally, you want to lock in heroes with whatever good quirks that they come with and the ones that actually have the best optimized quirks tailored to their class (quickdraw on jester or unholy slayer on crusader) are the ones that are hard to replace. There's always hope for Beyond event.

No. You choose your gameplay mode at the start of the file, you can't change it mid game.

>Does the Radiant mode use your save from live if you opt into the beta?
I'm not sure I understand the question. Why would you use the Beta? The update has been done for like a month.

I finished the game and farm shamblers for last 3 trinkets
I am bored

>>170554986

>>170555623
Oh so that other anon was right then? Yeah that's how it works, but once you get the hang of it the game goes much faster. The update's 100% done so you can just download it by updating your game.

I've heard about losing trinkets...but winning them?

Is GR + PD + HWM + auntie a decent no healer short dungeon setup? I figure you spec out the HWM or PD spd to go first, plague up back row and duelist advance 4th row, then get GR to lunge and attack 3rd row, I reckon that would finish off backrow before they had a chance to move and leave first row at the mercy of your strongest attacks (like PBS) and ripostes.

Still fairly new at the game.

Your anti is gonna get her shit slapped by frontrows real hard, and with GR/HWM as the second row it's gonna hurt

I'd get an MAA to rampart every turn, keeps your GR/HWM ready to slap some shit, staves off damage.

>>170558161
Even if you max out spd so you can quickly shuffle auntie out of front? The whole plan is to kill the real threats (backrow) before they even have a turn.

Is it bad to keep doing short runs in Stygian? The trinkets for the medium ones I'm seeing aren't as good but it feels like wasting time.

got free sanitarium this turn.

what should I rather lock in on a Crusader, 10% dmg over 75 light or +2 speed over 75 light?

>>170443691
Eldritch killing occulvetist is optional for success. Cursing occultist in the weald and warrens isn't.

>>170561534
Slowly, gently.

>>170563584
Speed.

>>170562338
Medium champion runs are manageable in ruins and cove.
I've finished Stygian with 0 deaths except 2 deathblows on heart. Had Vvulf event and like 3 champion crows.
That's with light on of course, pitch black is a whole different story that includes corridor shamblers so you can't really change your party to weak one that can't kill it.

>>170561534
Probably has a thin membrane that you punctured. That's how I always pictured it.

what's more important, Guild or Blacksmith?
Crests are limiting me right now.

Antiquarians are always using guard (on hwm) which makes 2 positions of your party ripostable.
Antiquarian takes no damage from single target attacks with the guard on. And the target with guard takes less damage because of high prot.

polymeric mixtures of excess viscosity necessary for standing gelatinous material relies on long-chain interactions which can be physically (or chemically) broken down, lowering viscosity.

The outer layer would likely be a "skin" similar to pudding skin due to vapor pressure loosing dissolved moisture, when cutting through the outer dehydrated layer a good portion of the agitated polymeric mixture would leave through the cut

I am a polymer chemist and this is my professional opinion

>>170566205
Before champion dungeons it doesn't matter at all. There is no point in doing short ones.

>>170566141
the speed difference between a lvl1 weapon and a lvl5 weapon is 2.

Isn't the higher accuracy on upgraded skills more important?

Also for the ones who want some advanced management - always do that event for free sanitarium in Weald. You can lock a lot of quirks for free.
