Darkest Dungeon

Just picked this badboy up after years of eyeballin it. Finally decided it was worth it on this free weekend and having a blast while getting my ass kicked. Reading books keeps killing me but I just can't turn away from the forbidden knowledge, and some fucking altar wanted to eat my torch and rewarded me with a buttfucking from a space creature or some shit. Good times. Also is Cove supposed to be way harder than other regions or am I just really unlucky/unprepared? Every cove expedition has ended in total disaster so far. Just got my first succesful one about an hour ago.

uh i mean black lives matter

Wrong

Don't try to tank your way through the cove, poison and bleed the shit out of those fishy fucks instead.

Just take the Shieldbreaker and Plague Doctor for free wins

Play Radiant, makes the game much more enjoyable especially for a first timer. They say it speeds it up but my radiant playthrough is eclipsing 50 hours already.

Cove is my kryptonite too, a lot of people find it the easiest. The Weald is the hardest on Champion difficulty unrivalled but before that if you're too poor to afford antivenoms the warrens will rape you.

The easiest? Fuck. I only beat it because I ended up with like 3 people getting Eldritch Slayer quirk and just beasting them, plus not running into those big tank fishes with the octocestus. They always ruin my shit.
I only got 1 shieldbreaker so far and she fuckin died on her first mission, which was in the Cove ironically. Just now assembled an A-team of Resolve 2 heroes and beat the apprentice necromancer. B-team is well underway so I think I've finally managed to stabilize a bit. I lost a lot of people just throwing squads together willy-nilly but I'm actually planning out groups and ensuring they have a healer and actual mark target synergies etc. Working wonders.

Yeah 60% of the game is planning before you get into the dungeon. Trinkets, composition, order - quirks, stress levels.

I hope Dismas and Reynauld are still alive, user.

Don't forget that it's better to retreat with whatever loot you've gathered and a living party than limp to the end of the quest with a broken one.

Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow, and insidious killer.

Dismas got his shit rocked I'm afraid. Part of the same cursed expedition that killed my shieldbreaker. Reynauld is still leading the charge however. Feels a bit soulless with his kleptomania cured but he's almost gotten us all killed by stealing food on a long quest so I had to rehab his ass

Yeah that's a lesson I'm finally starting to learn. Shaking the overconfidence of playing lots of xcom and shit, thinking one more room can't be THAT bad.

The Circus music has been stuck in my head for days. I haven't even done that many battles.

Post MODS

the store page for circus claimed it somehow fucked up performance for people so I didn't download it yet

>play radiant

Don't. The standard difficulty is perfectly balanced and the intended way to play.

yea no way in hell i was taking that "advice", don't worry about it

Radiant doesn't change anything about the difficulty. It just reduces the money grind and the "training up a new recruit because your lv6 hero died" grind.

ruined the game

Dodge is a piece of shit with how high ACC is on every skill and how most trinkets boost ACC

>every time i try to go to the butcher's circus it just wants me to install the DLC
>DLC already installed, completely re-downloaded the game today

Have you activated the DLC on the starting menu screen next to your save ?

Checked there and it wasn't even in the list to activate, so no

Books are for nerds
Fuck the shambler
Plague doctor is queen of the cove
