TEETERING ON THE BRINK

is level 2 equipment and skills enough the begin the crimson courtyard? Or will that just bleed me dry as I'll keep getting infected and struggle to procure blood in dungeons that are too hard for me?

OH FUGG

FACING THE ABYSS

Something something insidious killer

>no torch
You got reminded that overconfidence

Not today bitch.

I did it with an entire party of level 1 and 1 level 0
The level 0 died because he got critted to death by the apex predator
Just remember to avoid messing with curios you don't know how to use, since many of them spawn shit and could cause a party wipe

Post baron save upload when?

send help, please

Question, the fuck is bloodmoon?

Is it like a special setting like stygian? I hope I have it turned on.

Wait, -100 % Food consumed means actually he will consume more food, right?

Could someone post pics of the baron? I really want to see how it is, I don't care about getting spoiled.

It's the new hard mode. It's Stygan with the Crimson Court content automatically enabled.

>I did it with an entire party of level 1 and 1 level 0
That's not my question. I need to know if the crimson curse is sustainable in the long run for a new playthrough at low levels.
I don't want to be stuck with cursed characters dying from thirst, because I can't beat courtyard missions.
>Just remember to avoid messing with curios you don't know how to use, since many of them spawn shit and could cause a party wipe
Easily fixed by reading the gamefiles, spawning more stuff might actually be beneficial if you want more blood.

No he won't consume food, that's +100% food consumed where he eat more food

Oh weald thanks for the diseases

Then this Seal is not bad at all

Holy shit coming from PBD I'm starting to remember how much cancer post-quest hero progressions were. Oh, you don't have that much stress? Have some negative quirks any way.

Like seriously, it's very rarely a Hero becomes "That" guy that you use because his quirk easily gets cycled out.

Wow, that's new. Huh, it's even better now. I guess that's why it's Rare.

Yeah but he won't be stress healed when using the feast option at a campire, good for short missions or if you have a stress healer

I'm doing it boys, I'm making a new Radiant save.

Does the Crocodillian have a blight attack, or just bleed and shuffle?

>Make new Radiant Save
>Old Road went well no stress at all
>Game gives Dismas Fear of Man and Reynauld Torn Rotator anyway
this isn't Radiant at all.

I'm not a big fan of having many cursed heroes, but I've gotten *one* drop of blood outside the Courtyard in 15 weeks or so.

JUST FUCKING LOST 4 LEVEL 6 HEROES AND 5 ANCESTOR ITEMS TO RNG DURING A BOSS FIGHT, I WAS AS PREPARED AS I POSSIBLY COULD BE, CONVINCE ME NOT TO QUIT THIS BULLSHIT GAME Veeky Forums.

Why didn't you retreat after the first death

...

I'm thinking of starting a Trinket Mod, like new Community Made trinkets. Considering I barely have an ounce of artistic talent. Should I consider it?

Siren mind controlled my Leper, he cleaved two of my guys with a crit to bring them to death's door, Siren followed up and wasted my party before I had the chance to heal/retreat.

Git gud

Thats why you get holy water for the siren. Clearly you werent as prepped as you thought.

Someone explain the cursed heroes to someone that doesn't have the dlc yet
Is there any advantage to having them at all to offset the blood meme

radiant > normal desu, I hate grinding

>He didn't use Leper's camp skill to buff Debuff Resist
>He didn't bring an Antiquarian to boost someone's Debuff Resist by 50%
>He didn't have Leper use his Self Heal to get an additional 25% Debuff Resist for 3 Rounds

You really gotta stack debuff resist for the Siren friend. That say you were pretty unlucky on this

>30+ weeks
>no cursed heroes
>vials are piling up
>only one CC party showed up
>still no invites
I'm so sick of grinding quests for these invites. Maybe I should just start a new playthrough for this shit, might be able to actually get blueprints then. It's not fair how I paid 10 burger bucks and not be able to access the content.

I see the error of my ways, I'm still salty as fuck though.

You will learn from this lost friendo

Everyone gets at least one RNG rape despite stacking against the odds. It's bound to happen.

It's ok you'll have the graveyard event soon enough

I'l only had it once so far in my 128 week play through. Not sure how I'm doing, I've been playing blind so I've had a lot of setbacks. I hope I get it soon, there's a lot of heroes I'd like to see come back from the dead.

>no cursed heros
That your problem, enemies with invitation will spawn when infestation is high.

this muslim shit tho

I think you need to have more than 3 dead heroes for it to happen. You could also set the town events to "fuck-ton" in the options

Can I manually curse my heroes with blood? To be fair, I had one cursed hero when I was at CC but I abandoned his ass because he was a throwaway beginner in a hamlet full of champs. It's a good I did that since that was a few days with no blood supply but now I'm facing a non-cursed hamlet with tons of blood but no invites. I've only met one CC party but all they dropped was one blood vial and no invites.

If you want to get cursed just let yourself get hit by the mosquitos that spawn in the other dungeons

How to unlock districts?

Event or get a blueprint from beating a boss.

Wish me luck /dadg/.

You can spread the curse in abbey tavern or sanitarium.

kek'd
because i'm fasting now

Too bad that i have only two heroes infected and not using them at all.
you'll get a random blueprint drop, only then you'll have the option to build them. They cost you lots (LOTS) of heirlooms though

Watch for Apex Predator, it can deal some nasty damage.

>pulls your arbalest
heh, nothing personel.

>mark party
shit party because APEX plays two turns and gets rid of mark too soon and the occultist can't keep spamming as he'll have to heal as well.

boy this crocodilian bloke is no joke

>because i'm fasting now
I don't know how you guys do it. Worked with people who were fasting in Dunkin Donuts but they would do some labor and going on without breaks until sundown to eat a meager meal. Partly admirable but somewhat masochistic.
Hope you like to get shuffled. That Arby is going to have a bad time.

So your're saying...need to take two occultists?

Gave her move resist. Didn't help.

Mask sticks well enough, it's just THAT THAT PIECE OF SHIT KEEPS SITTING IN THE FRONT ROW PREVENTING ME FROM USING MY MARK SKILLS
FUCK

Is radiant mode for fags? Asking for a friend.

to be honest the first few days are kinda rough but then your body gets used to it. It's not that hard but that's probably because i'm a NEET
hell no, i beat it before the hotfix but i'll still bring a DoT party for him.
your friend is gay user

Rampart?

WE DID IT REDDIT

Did they nerf infection rate into the ground?

>Flagelant + BH
>The crit buddies

>go on a Ruins run, get suprised by random 4 mosquitos in Ruins, 3 guys crimson cursed in the very first turn
>they dont even drop any blood
>send 4 crimson cursed characters on a weald run
>Fanatic introduction.jpg
>lose flagellant, 2 others at deaths door but finished the mission
So now I have 4 characters with the curse one of them is Dismas and a grand total of 1 flask of Blood
How fucked am I

How are you having issues with blood?

After the hotfix and 2 runs i had 18 vials of blood ready for my main group.

I also have the Building that gives 2 vials per week.

>Jester cut off some lord's finger and wears it around his neck
fucking metal

Just had a bug where I killed a Siren after she made my Jester switch sides. Instead of instantly coming back to his position in my party, he casually walked all the way there and remained facing leftwards, even as I continue through the dungeon.
It also doesn't let me switch party positions with anyone because the game thinks I'm still in battle and count the switch action as a "pass", with the hero refusing to switch and getting 4 stress points

By being a lucklet? and the blood building is expensive as fuck

>Those new narrators quotes introduced in the DC.

Would pay for a new quotes DLC such god tier voice.

They really needed to think the invite mechanic through a little more

THE WILL TO FIGHT FADES

is it possible to kill the cat tail in the crocodile fight? Are there any attacks you can't dodge?

I don't think you can

Are hero retextures/colors not broken with the new patch? I thought they'd need to be patched for new skills like caltrops etc

Crimson court first mission gave me 1 vial.
Random Warrens run with 2-3 CC enemy encounters also have me 1 vial.
I'm just glad none of my heroes are infected.

Does including infected heroes in your party really improve the chance of blood dropping?

Dismiss everybody except Dismas and hope he lives.
Unless you are a piratefag in which case you are fucked.

That's warrens.

None of my skins or mods seems to be broken.

> Leper, he cleaved two of my guys with a crit to bring them to death's door, Siren followed up and wasted my party
So you still had one hero left.

>tfw kill crocodilian but entire party dies shortly after making it all pointless
I still haven't gotten past the first dlc dungeon

Should I restart my game for the latest patch? I didn't get that far DLC-wise.

>mark party
It's not even a proper mark party.

> APEX plays two turns and gets rid of mark too soon
Marks last long as hell anyways, doesn't make much difference.

>the occultist can't keep spamming as he'll have to heal as well
That's why it's not a real marking party, in a real marking party anyone can spam mark if needed.

Maybe but I lost three infected trying that because I didn't get CC encounters and they all went mad.

Therei s a torrent for build #19990 already, I expect build #20048 by tommorow.

Huh. Just fought the Collector, are his specific lines new? I don't remember them.

Does the Damned Fountain heal stress when you give it holy water?

yes
heals HP iirc, stress heals are from using torch on cocoon

Yes

>that town event where flagellant floods the penance hall with so much of his blood it stays closed for a week

ABSOLUTE CRIMSON

The fact that flagellant will only use penance hall for stress relief makes the tavern even more useless than it used to be.

Well /dadg/ I killed every boss, now time for the dungeon

Any advice? I've mostly avoided spoilers except knowing you can't send the same crew into the DD twice, how does that work with the Reynauld/Dismas achievement?

Also pls don't tell me Occultists are mandatory cause they're the one class I don't have leveled up cause they all fuckin died

How the fuck is he still alive

>Any advice?
Bring a team that can deal with shuffles or at least doesn't get absolutely crippled by them.

Keep 2 healer cultists alive to abuse the system and heal yourself to full.

>I've mostly avoided spoilers except knowing you can't send the same crew into the DD twice, how does that work with the Reynauld/Dismas achievement?
You need to send them to the 4th mission.

>Also pls don't tell me Occultists are mandatory cause they're the one class I don't have leveled up cause they all fuckin died
Not really but they are good.

Prepare for suffering

Can someone confirm if cursed heroes wasting in town auto-eat some of the blood you have left? Or do they simply die of hunger?

This party is a well oiled machine. No stress, no damage, and still 2 firewood left to use.

they will feed themselves if there is blood left in the town for them.

m8 it's apprentice dungeon, everything works in there. Even 4 antiqurians can easily leave with no stress whatsoever.
