Wayne posted:Doesn't it say something like "This is a symbol of ruin, place fire if you crave the Void"? But it is true you don't expect a curio to summon a bossfight, when all the rest either give you stress/quirks or treasure. Yeah spiders seem like trash mobs like maggots or whatever and they mostly are but the synergy between webbers and spinners gives them some of the best AI behaviour in the game so every now and then they'll just focus down and murder a hero. Always Kill Spiders.

Hylomania is such an innocuous and easy to forget about quirk too, most of the things it triggers on aren't really dangerous

TheGreatEvilKing posted:I do wonder what powers the fish guys/cultists/etc are channeling, as they have more dark themed powers than the occultist does. Sure, the occultist has his stun that puts out the torch (though I've never seen anyone use it) but his tentacle motif is a lot different from the other wizards in Darkest Dungeon. he literally uses the exact same tentacle animation as the cultists

Contrary to what the selection screen might show you, the Vestal only has four moves. Take both heals, the self-heal attack and the stun, everything else is garbage

double nine posted:not the stun, take the melee attack for when your party gets pulled out of position through eldrich pull/surprise so you don't waste a turn. Shuffle doesn't happen that often and stunning is the best thing you can ever do with your turn that isn't killing a dude

Drowned Thralls basically exist to slap you in the dick the first time you encounter them and don't know what they do. After that you'll find that it's generally very easy to just focus them down before their Revenge activates. Yes, that means you have to let the Shaman live a little longer while you kill the Thrall. You're just gonna have to deal with that.

RareAcumen posted:Because I am also a fool, I bought Darkest Dungeon as well. So, where do you find those healing charms and Dismas' head? The heads of various characters are trinkets that get dropped by the Collector, a wandering boss who I cannot recall if he has shown up on the LP yet or not.

Keep in mind that despite being being way better then he used to be the Jester is still the worst class in the game. He's playable now though and you can take him to any level of dungeon with some degree of success. I also disagree with Wang's opinion regarding Collected Vestals (they basically do nothing, keep them around so they gum up the Collector's line imo) but one of my favourite things about DD is that everyone has their own different strategies and tactical priorities and they all can work.

Funnily enough considering that he's the mark boss, a mark-based dps party absolutely destroys the Swine Prince. Show him that you can do his gimmick better than he ever can. EDIT: Another refreshing element is that unlike basically every other boss in this game the Swine Prince isn't out to do some bullshit. He doesn't heal or drop more minions, he doesn't do anything weird to the battlefield or your heroes, etc etc. He just wants to hit your mans and that makes him unique.

Song of Desire being a secret debuff is pretty lame because it means sometimes the Siren's main gimmick just doesn't work on even unprepared parties with lucky debuff resistance and she dies without ever having done anything. And she's a big lump of loving nothing without the Song gimmick to back her up. Both the Cove bosses are cool concepts executed poorly.

Finale's graphic is kinda weird in that I think it's the only attack animation that's metaphorical instead of purely literal. Probably metaphorical.

If people have any suggestions or major ideas not on the list I would be thrilled to hear it. I've got you covered with a quick and dirty guide to AOEs vs bosses who I don't think are spoilers.

My favourite class for the Cannon is by far the Leper, he does good damage to the cannon without needing a mark and he can also just erase the cutthroat from existence every time he pops up. I have to agree with everyone else, this is easily the most tedious boss fight.

Back when Darkest Dungeon had just hit Early Access AOE's were great skills and an easy way to play the game. Red Hook responded to that in their characteristic manner and now they are of mostly limited use if they aren't DoT

I used to think Lepers were the worst possible class to bring to the Prophet until I actually did it by mistake. Turns out they're woodchoppers extraordinaire and are going to soak up a few rubble hits with their massive healthpool just by standing at the front. The actual worst class to bring to the Prophet is the Jester. He does nothing here.
