Act 3 Guide: Obsession | Darkest Dungeon 2

[@SusloNick]

Great thorough guide! the only tip I would add is that it always does 2 attacks (after 'behold') so you bait 'suppress' with a token generating hero - and then your hero with seen token only gets hit once and that makes it pretty easy and reliable to survive with any tank - at worst you get to DD and just heal back, but if you dont trigger 'suppress' then you get pummeled with limerence twice per turn

[@Britishbrat]

Hmm didn't know this! Great tip

[@johancito16345]

Despite his high dot res the occultist malediction is a good option, both because it reduces dot res and aplies dot each time you hit the boss but also because the buff last 3 rounds meaning that you can peel off that eye preety fast

... until BB

[@Britishbrat]

Lol they're referring to my nickname and my inability to use malediction correctly haha

[@johancito16345]

@@Britishbrat oh haha, yeah, it somewhat difficult to use sometimes

[@gnerkus]

@@johancito16345 I may have missed something but I was referring to the Bastard's Beacon when I wrote BB. The Focus Fault reflects dot in Bastard's Beacon.

Whenever I do this… I just do everything possible to find sparkle powder. If I can find an alembic and retort and a bottle case is the best.

[@Britishbrat]

It's pretty much the god code to this boss

[@erikanderson1402]

@@Britishbrat yep, I will even save up the “My time in the desert” books. That has even saved one of my characters

[@Lucas-g5e8b]

very nice format, i would suggest one more thing: in the tirnkets/combat items section, maybe you could mention if any stagecoach upgrade produces said combat item i hope this does not end with the five confession bosses, and extend to lair bosses and minibosses too, very good video

[@Britishbrat]

Good suggestion!

[@modernwarhero8447]

I beat this boss first try on a random comp i was chillin with. Then every other time i got to this boss and actually knew the gimmicks i still get shit on. I mistve had a god run somehow the first time

[@gamdanyunizar7849]

Happens to the best of us

[@OhNoTheFace]

The damage race is the unforgivable part of the fight. Even when set up correctly in the pre phase, it's still a roll or two on one guy dying lol

[@gamdanyunizar7849]

This is the most gimmicky boss in DD2 imo, I hate it so much that you basically almost auto-lose until you figured the gimmick out, which can take several runs (or make the game less fun by opening wikipedia or guide vid like this)

[@TheAgentmigs]

Taunt and damage reduction is key.

[@keenjanene]

The blood is really good in this fight

[@meschiarifox]

The girl team is the best for thia boss: seraph, arsonist, venon drop and carcass. Carcass can taunt every single turn while seraph can provide block or dodge to her

[@Kenkire]

What hero paths did you use?

[@tariqulislam8284]

Please upload act 4, 5 and all mini boss and lair boss guide

[@Britishbrat]

Lol I'm working on it. Takes a lot of time haha

[@knightmare6229]

I beat this boss for the first time blind but everyone in my team died except my plague doctor lol

[@TheSilvercue]

Is the idea to get the Seen on one hero and then use stealth so it is on none. Or use stealth to leave it just on one.

[@Britishbrat]

I generally think it's best to leave them on one single hero so you know where the damage is going. When you remove the tokens you risk it stacking them on someone who can't manage the damage

[@conejos-blancos]

How to get to the boss? The game obligate me to finish without even see the boss...

[@Britishbrat]

From act 2 and on you need a lair boss trophy. It gives you a pop up in the last region if you didn't get one
