It's a Short one, so you cannot use camp buffs to aid you during the fight, and the lead-up to his room involves several encounters with tough brigands that force your party's Stress to skyrocket. Brigand Vvulf stands out from most of the other examples as he's the boss of his own mission.Oh, and she also occasionally spawns a Cove enemy (and is much more likely to do so if she fails to mind-control a hero). Even worse if she takes a Flagellant, as she can heal herself tremendously if he uses his Redeem move or is put on Death's Door. If she takes them with her Song of Desire move, get ready for a world of hurt from your own units. The Siren can be this if you bring a high damage output character like a Leper or an Abomination.Good luck! The game is also cool with this combo: Hero falls from pot, she death blows them and immediately puts a new hero in. To top all this off, she gets multiple turns every round to cause damage and stress to the rest of your party, and if you retreat with somebody still in the pot, you've just abandoned that poor soul to getting boiled alive and eaten. Even if you overturn the pot, it immediately respawns and she will put another hero in at the next round. She immediately puts one of your heroes in the pot meaning that even if you did bring a hero that can reliably do damage to her, she might randomly completely disable them and quickly strip them of their HP. What this means is, most of your reliable heavy hitters won't be able to touch her, only the pot. The Hag takes up row three and four in her 'formation', with her pot in rank one and two. She is identified again and again as the most frustrating enemy in the entire game. If you go in blind, the Hag can easily annihilate your best team, in horrible circumstances. Most of the bosses only require you bring your best team and get decent luck.Especially when some of them can appear without warning. Your heroes are just as likely to die to these guys as much as anything else. This is from playing in Radiant, though, FWIW.Make no mistake, Darkest Dungeon is not a case of Hard Levels, Easy Bosses. Some bosses like Thing/Shambler/Sleeper can help to naturally give stress to get to 100 but generally I've used those to naturally get to something like 60-80 and then just roll the dice after. Usually I tend to do it in the beginning of a wave, so that there's plenty of time and I'm not stuck at having to deal with an afflicted hero on a boss. Although it has less Virtue chance than the ring, the increased deathblow seems worth it and overall, I've found that having the candle and being able to scum more than makes up for the item that I'd have had as it makes it so that I don't have to worry as much about stress. I generally tend to do it one hero at a time and give them the Ancestor's Candle and have a Jester with 2 stress heal items to stress heal in case it doesn't work. need to wait for a Splendorous part, generally I tend to try to wait until getting to a bunch of low damage stressers, like the seed throwers and pass until getting to 100 stress and playing the virtue lottery by passing turns for whoever I want to stress out. nor would you want to cuz that takes up a trinket that could have helped give other better stats. and its not like you're going to have enough virtue rings for everyone.

its still a pretty big gamble in my eyes. Once they are virtuous, they will either heal themselves, stress heal the team or themselves, or give your teammates buffs and you can basically ignore their stress as once they get 200 again, they go back to normal with no stress, rinse and repeat.īut not sure why people think this is a bad strategy as its not that easy to do still, you can still get a fail and not get a virtue and thus you're stuck with having to destress that person. You can further increase this with a +5% from a quirk, giving 60%, and there are trinkets that can give another +25, so thats 85% total, and you just let them get stressed out and hope you dont get the 15-45% fail. so with these 2 alone, thats +30% virtue, and you're base chance is already 25% so thats total of 55% chance. Its basically you wait till you get the virtue increase chance town event (gives +15% chance for a virtue check on your next mission) then wait for splendorous light, which gives another 15% chance for a virtue chance.
