It also makes them boring to screencap, but we’ve been over that before.

Which is good, because again, we don’t have quick access to healing on this squad. We win a surprise roll, take out two of the enemy fighters, and clean up the rest afterward. Most of the fights up to the 8-Pounder are like this.

It’s less detrimental to take an underleveled healer into a dungeon than any of the damage dealers, especially when trinkets are thrown into the mix. That’s another reason I didn’t take any healers with me. Not that either of them are bad, just positioning them got a little awkward. The other two adventurers are taken from the limited pool of those who would even go on this mission in the first place. It’s a bit risky, what with all this dancing around our front line is going to do, going into the grindiest boss fight in the game without a healer, but with some good speed trinkets, we should be able to keep much of it off our backs, and worst comes to worst, Nammo has a Shadow Fade similar to the Grave Robber’s, so she can hop back and start healing people back up. That’s why I’ve been saving Dismas too, for this moment where he’ll be the most useful. More importantly, Junjeong can give her sister a riposte, which is going to come in handy. I’ve been using The Sisters as a healing unit so far, which makes the frontline choice look a bit suspect on the surface, but that has been ignoring the damage the Nammo half of the duo can dish out. It also inadvertently highlights the absurdity of Darkest Dungeon’s positioning system because we’re about to fight a giant cannon by standing in front of it and hoping it doesn’t go off in our faces.īut I get ahead of myself. Okay, some guys and their pet siege engine. Here it is, the most fearsome boss fight of all of Darkest Dungeon, the one I’d been putting off for so long not because I just had other, better things to do than trek through the Weald and unlock it, but because I was traumatized from past experiences even daring to face the thing. In the face of my increasingly egregious flaunting of public taboos, awe turned to ire, and demonstrations were held in the town square.

It was not long before rumors of my morbid genius and secretive excavations began to fill local legend. Simple folk are by their nature loquacious, and the denizens of the hamlet were no exception.
