/dadg/ - Darkest Dungeon General

Sorry, didn't make the thread this time. Will add it on the next one.

Currently sitting at a nice 250k.

as far as I know, they're still unreleaded, based on what redhooktyler said on some reddit thread

we can draw them ourselves too if it takes that long to have them released

that's what I think that user meant

You're the real mvp

fuck off already holy shit
we're not google

How fast can the game be beat? The limit Stygian mode places on you made me interested in finding out one can push it thought how it doesn't change enemies other than giving them more hp/damage killed my interest in doing runs on stygian mode.

Speedruns I've seen only go to necromancer. Doing it using only the minimum number of required characters would require some stagecoach luck.

Two Antiquarians.

I don't remember: Does the AI go for weaker lvl heroes much more than it does higher level ones?
I just recall trying to level a lvl 1 dofus in pos4 on a short champion run and first fight, ALL 4 MONSTERS go exclusively for her all throughout two rounds.

Would you?

>speedruns
The game is almost entirely RNG. There's no such thing as a speedrun in a game like DD.

bug pussy or people pussy?

PD/ GR/ Vestal/ Crusader

The first two ranks should hit shit and stun the first few ranks. GR and PD should blight and stun everything else.

The Vestal requires the Profane Scroll trinket to be safe in vet level dungeons or higher. Works best in Ruins and Cove.

before the dungeon loads, the game decides which of your characters is going to get shit on
see, that makes the RNG fair

both

Thanks good to see at least one skilled player in these threads

Why the fuck did I never listen to the ancestor

We spam that wisdom for a reason kid.

Rate my DD1 party.

>Double Leper

The madman

Well, worst case is the Jester and the Occultist die and the Lepers can't be moved out of rank 2 and since they can't go over 100 stress I'm pretty sure there's almost no way to lose.

Technically, with a save state and infinite amount of paitence, you can save scum your way to victory so your lvl1s can win the darkest dungeon.

Pratically, most good players finish the game at 50-75% of the limit

is this a reference? an expression?
what does yellow hand mean?

>your lvl1s can win the darkest dungeon.
Not possible even savescumming. Heroes that weak wouldn't be able to kill the last enemy before reinforcments arrive.

I guess you could technically do this given infinite tries if you bring the last 2 enemies to 1 health before leaving one, but this is outside the realm of reality.

Possibly a nod to the "Black Hand" which was basically the Mafia. Would make sense for a bunch of thieves and killers.

Wow, that took a whole three turns.

The dungeon itself was ludicrously easy, too. The Jester and both Lepers have quick draw charms, meaning they were able to clear out all the damage dealers before they even had a chance to act.

How did all of them proc virtues before the mission even started?

How are they all virtuous?

PORN WHEN

He passed all their turns on the first fight (or just kept retreating the first fight) until they hit 100 stress then had the jester destress them down to 0. Rinse and repeat until they all roll virtuous.

>refuse to follow the numerous "upgrade your town in this order and use these heroes to win ezpz" guides
>can't beat the game
I wish I could figure out why I keep buying roguelikes. Either I bend over and play exactly the way the community has already figured out is the optimal way to beat the game, or I spend hundreds of hours losing to bullshit until I finally get fed up enough to either quit playing or google builds. Either way I feel like I wasted my money.

>all virtuous
I LIKE THAT DUNGEON RUN

You know people had to play the game to beat it right? Take the time to think about your upgrades and stuff or what your doing. For example, instead of picking what's available or just the first thing you think of try to plan out ahead.

But you cant get a virtue if you already got afflicted.

but you can use literally any heroes to win if you know how to make a not shit comp
except antiquarian

Lowering stress to 0 removes any affliction, user.

>tfw

You can remove afflictions if they go to zero stress.

If you go down to 0 stress your affliction is removed. When you get back to 100 it rolls again.

eh that's a scummy tactic

>people had to play the game to beat it
nahhh that's not how modern gaming works
datamining and hacking beats most games before they're even released

Does it? I didn't know that.

Confirmed for being more autistic than the ancestor himself

Literally in the big tooltip popup about afflictions in the first Ruins.

Been some time since I read it.

I brought a Hero Ring and Tentacle Idol and switched then around between heroes to speed up the process, too. Ended up getting pretty lucky and landed a virtue on all of them first try, so I never actually needed to bring any of them to 0 stress.

HOW QUICKLY

THE TIDE TURNS

Wait, i've yet to do the darkest dungeon, can you just not take any dmg in the first fight and keep jestering your heroes back to 0 stress?

There can be no hope in this hell, no hope at all.

The first fight has nothing but 2 guys who only heal and guard each other. Think 2 collected vestals/MaA.

I have no fucking idea why.

Yes, DD1 and DD2 have a few fights with two Cultist enemies who only guard and heal things. So if you leave those two enemies alive you can get full heals off of them.

They're placed intentionally, at least as far as getting full heals are concerned. Most people don't have the patience to grind virtues like here.

The enemies in the first fight don't have any attacks, they can only guard and heal. They appear pretty often in the dungeon, so it's a common strategy to abuse encounters with two of them to fully heal and stress-heal your party. Getting everyone virtuous is a couple steps further than most people go, though.

>Nothing is different between her and the arbalest aside from not getting a free bandage, just as if it were vanilla
>As for the lacking bandage. I'll get that rectified. -redhookjohn (some reddit thread)

Seems like they missed out the free bandage initially. Musketeer is kinda neglected by RedHook as backers don't seem to be reporting bugs as much

Man there sure is a lot of glittering gold, trinkets, and baubles. I wonder what I have to pay for them?

I waish it was just a reskin instead of a separate class.

The way it is it only decreases your chance of getting the trinkets/heroes you want as both are taken from a larger poll. If you decide to use both arbalests and musketeers you essentialy need to get each class trinket twice. It's dumb.

git fucked

I'm about to tackle the Baron, can I get any advice for party comp?

riposte with +damage and high crits

So is the Baron quest supposed to be longer than 3 long length dungeons? I've cleared out about thirty to forty rooms and nada so far. Found a key for a red door, thought the boss was back there, but it was just a crocodilian

Yes, you're not supposed to complete the entire dungeon in one run.

HM for Hound's harry since he hides in eggs and 2 damage will pop each egg open
Stack him with bleed

>not popping each egg one at a time and killing the enemy inside
>not focusing on baron as soon as you find him
You people are too attached to healing. Baron deals almost no damage.

>stop discussing Darkest Dungeon in the Darkest Dungeon general
What?

>PD can't cure teammates' diseases
>but GR can
I never understood this

Pd can, it's leeches that does it

Me too buddy.

>almost no damage
>Crowd Pleaser three times a round
>for 5-8 damage on ever character each time
>entire party of level 3-4 characters knocked down 15-24 health every round
>half the rounds you're not allowed to heal

Not to mention he also does bleed and blight.

First time through here...

First time I got someone to rank three the shrieker showed up and stole 8 of my trinkets. I didn't do it for like 20 weeks cause it's a rank 5 boss, and it showed back up and stole 8 more trinkets. Are those first 8 just gone forever?

I think so, yes.
It's also not quite as hard as it's made out to be, you just have to survive for 5 turns and it flies away.

No I just want a topless barbarian warrior. Is that too much to ask?

>finally beat DD for the first time
does this mean I'm not a casual anymore

On Stygian?

Depends. Did you get the Reynauld and Dismas achievement?

What exactly am I missing with stress management? Is it just because my heroes are still low level? Seems like I always come out of dungeons with stupid high stress on everyone even when I always try to focus down the stress dealing enemies, while everyone here constantly keeps their stress at zero.

Every fight should last less than 4 turns max. All stress dealing enemies should die as fast as possible. Wounds can be healed so don't worry to much on health.

Do we know what Flag says when you choose him to die at Heart of Darkness yet?

What happened to the user who was making a Crusader ReSkin?

Something along the lines that everything has been leading up to his sacrifice and to not take it away from him.

what kind of skin was he making?

Cute knight with a retarded barbed sword.
