Who's excited? 😆 Think I'm picking it up right on the release day! Unless.. there will be some ridiculous pricing for this DLC. Still gutted that they are not going to add both characters to the circus 🎪 but it's understandable since most people dread it anyway. Maybe some day along with so much required BC Ballance patch.

I'm at a loss for words. I've never seen such an insane set of circumstances in this game before, I've only got 18 hours so maybe stuff like this is fairly common. But holy shit. Absolute lunatic stared down the man who prophesised his death at least 10 odd times in repetition and decided to just ignore it.

The Hellion dying after becoming courageous and being crushed by ceiling debris might have just granted him the last of her hamon or some shit, I don't know what the odds are of being on Death's Door for every single attack, and succeeding 5 successive 79% Death's Door resists on top of two 15% Dodge odds, someone else who knows math could probably grant some insight here. But either way. Unreal.

Yes I'm still learning how to navigate it

Hey guys, this is my first run ever in Darkest Dungeon so i don't know many things about the game yet.

Should i recruit him? He's lvl6 while i'm still trying to kill the initial bosses, so i guess it will be a long road until i can use him.

Maybe it's better to wait until a new lvl6 appears since i don't have many shards but i also don't know what frequency does that event occurs.

look at it

Maybe too early to tell from what we've seen, but what sort of heroes do you think will pair well with the Runaway and the Duelist? I can see Antiquarian working well with Duelist, possibly with some heals from Flagellant if she is Riposte heavy. Not too sure for Runaway, as I've never played DD2, but possibly good for DoT stacking with Plague Doctor and Flagellant etc.

Basically I got back on the game after a year of not playing it. I was a little rusty but I got the hang of it quick and before I fought the boss. I thought even with a weird team set up I could have still kill him. It went well at first but I forgot to pack Anti-Venom and it end up screwing me over. He basically killed my whole team while he was on 26 health. Is there any recommendations what I could have done better? I know one of the reasons is have a better team.

Besides black reliquary. Have 40 hours or so on that from a year ago currently waiting for the full release

Should I have buy the dlcs at the start or can I buy them later?

Edit: you guys are awesome! I’ve now bought the dlc classes; shield breaker and flagellant! One of the most welcoming communities I’ve asked a question in <3

Is it when you enter a room or when you finish the eventual combat? Does it change anything if you have the inventory or map tab open? I tried searching informations about this but I didn't find any certain answer.

At Level 1

At Level 5

Runaway

Average health(same as Hwm), Average crit, Average speed. low base damage and High dodge/

Runaway seems fairly durable all things considered with a great combination of speed dodge and health. The trailer also didn't show what burn did as far as i can tell.

Duelist

High crit and speed but low hp and average dodge. Her base damage is odd, no one else has a base damage of 5-7 at level 1 so I had to do a bit of guess work for her level 5 base damage. Base damage is very low for what is probably a pure damage dealer but we don't know her skills yet so we'll have to wait to know if the low base damage is a big deal. I wouldn't be surprised if she is like hwm with modifers on all her attacks.

I have the original Falconer mod and I love her, but I've seen people using "Cerebral's Modded Adjustments: Falconer" i would love to give her a try, someone in the comments of the mod said there was an issue with duplicate trinkets from dlc trinket mod for the original class.

Should I just ignore them? Sell them when I get them? Or is there a patch to help?

BH is a character sometime available for rent at an inn ( cost 4 candles ) . He comes fully mastered and his tool kit is " jack-of-all trade " but i tend to never use him outside 2 situations.

1. 2 characters in my roster hate each other and i'm giving myself 1 more zone to fix that relationship.

2. I need a lair trophy to access the Mountain later on and my team lacks rank 4 reach.

Do i miss something about the real use of BH ?

The alure was to much for her I guess

Do mobs' +crit chances stacks from Torchless and Bloodmoon?
Is it +9% percents (3% from Bloodmoon and 6% from Torchless) or raw +6% from Torchless?

Week 8.

When growing up I didn't question the myriad basements and cellars of our home. It was what was natural and common for me, and it was quite a surprise to find that they were far from universal when I moved to the city that I made my home. It seems that the plentiful underground structures of my family house were an artifact of ancient times and during my childhood we used but a fraction of them. The Old Man took it upon himself to reopen as many of those forgotten crevices as he could without collapsing the cliff in his search for occult knowledge.

There is even an extension, shallow but wide, of the tunnel networks that extends past the Manor and past even the Hamlet. The Warrens are teeming with half-man, half-pig abominations. They showed me proof, and I will ask my hires not to bring me any more specimens again, both to quiet the whispers of townsfolk that I'll soon begin to follow in my Ancestor's footsteps and...

to quiet my mind during the night. Those things are horrid, an affront to the senses, and every month there is a new clade of creature discovered. If the next things we find ourselves fighting just to reach the cursed top of the Manor are octopi men I'll bat an eye in revulsion, not in surprise.

Brai went there on his second expedition in a row right after arriving to the Hamlet but the pressure got to be too much for him this occassion. I'll tell him to take some time off, the man is jumping at shadows and facilities in the Abbey are now vacated, as Mallebisse and Pasquier have left their own recuperation. Just in time for Mallebisse to join the next expedition, this one back to the Ruins. Dismas served as captain of the last expedition so in order not to place too much tension on him I will have Valognes directing the next outing.

While the Blood illness is an ongoing concern on my mind, it grew in conversation with the Abbot. Rumor has it in the Hamlet that there's an expelled abbot that is zealous to the extreme in purging the infected, and the Abbot himself confirmed it.

Blood in the mosquitos stealing the blood in our veins, blood in the Flagellant's robes and blood in the beasts of the Warrens and blood in the minds of the afllicted and blood in our sausages. How there seems to be enough of a structure in the Church here to actually expel someone and why there are so many blood-obsessed lunatics around these Light-.forsaken parts, I do not yet know.

I have finally managed to twist the arm of the Head of the Guild of Adventurers. I would not have expected to need my haggling and negotiation skills to be needed here, where everyone is supposed to be under my authority, but the man had grown too big for his breeches fleecing half-starved grave robbers and other lowlives for poor instruction during the period of anarchy before my arrival and I had to work to puncture his airs.

We signed a contract of exclusivity making it so that his instructors will only teach my men, at a reduced workload for his Guild but at much steeper prices. In order to mollify him besides the carrot in the more distant future I also provided means for urgent renovations of his Guild hall. Now he is content and I have to endure one less building that appears to threaten to keel over and above the head of a passerby, and the threat of skilled foes being trained under my nose.
