This game makes you go through torches like Garfield goes through Lasagnas.

[@AlrauneDollmind]

I've almost never needed more than one stack of torches on a Long mission. Careful timing of campfires or certain skills, and the willingness to fight a few battles at sub-75 torchlight, is entirely plausible and saves precious bag space and gold. Food is the thing you do want to overstock though. Any not used on camping or trekking can help top off a little HP between fights (and can even benefit from Arbalest's Battlefield Bandage buff to heal even more with each bite). You're still going to get hit for 10+ damage or Crit real hard in max torchlight, just slightly less often, so there's no situation in which extra healing is considered overkill (unless it comes at the outright expense of offensive power; i.e. don't heal for 5 and let the thing get another turn to hit you for 15).

Brutal RNG. But you made a few mistakes: 1) The moment you lost the Hellion, you should have moved the Jester to rank 2 to to be the secondary damage dealer also to keep the Vestal in Rank 3 so she could use her heals and not have to switch places with the Highwayman all the time 2) If you're going to use Point Blank Shot, then Duelist Advance should be your 'go to' move in putting the Highwayman back to rank 1 rather than wasting another party member's turn by making it switch places with the Highwayman 3) You entered a dungeon without bringing someone with 'corpse clear' skills 4) You entered The Weald without an Arbalest, her 'Flare' skill can clear 'Mark Targets' that buff the enemie's attack damage 5) Or you could have brought a Plague Doctor to help deal Blight to opponents with protection as well as heal bleeds and blights 6) You're better off replacing the Jester with the Houndmaster. Houndmaster can deal damage better and can stress heal the entire party rather than just one at a time per turn. Again, the RNG was just wack. But you kinda let it happen by not neglecting a few things

Rng can be such a bitch, tho, we can miss things we shouldn't. I once tried to kill the Necromancer with Reynauld, Dalas(?), some random vestal (i think it was level 3 or 4) and if im not wrong, the bounty. Man i made a shit decision bringing those, with a strategy that would never work, and the game and the rng punshing me losing 3 of my 4, leaving only dalas (i really dont remember his name) alive. The strat was, i focus the necro with bounty, heal the wounds of the party and let the boss focus on Reynauld. We had a lot of health left, no much stress as well, buffed with camp, everything was ok, until we decided to fight the boss, it was at the first moment when i tried attacking the obstacles that i realized, my party was going to die on a 70%> chance. If i kept atacking them, we would lose for sure, before even removing the 2nd obstacle to melee him. So i tried to, u know, just, attack with dalas, and since i let Reynauld have one of his healing abilities, i had 2 healers on the team. Then, the Necromancer predicts.... Reynauld and Bounty got 20> damage from that, since he can attack 2 of us. I heal them and keep the offensive with dalas, he had nice items, to buff his distance skills PRE and DMG. He does like 10 - 20 DMG on the first attack, we are fucked. (Necromancer has around 150 health) Vestal has offensive skills, but they do nothing, plus, next turn necro uses predict again, so she needs to heal the team again. So i think "i should leave this, i cant kill him, and rng will not help me, i'll try another round and leave" 2nd round, he misses, and my dalas misses as well, i dont stop, i got an oportunity to heal and attack the obstacles. They still above 50% hp. 3th round, 4th round and i dont leave. Bounty dies to infection, because necro starts to scream at us, dealing some damage and infection. I try to quit. *I CAN'T* Twice, we're desperate. *STILL CAN'T* boss gets his turn, death'sdoor to Reynauld, dalas keeps dodging a lot of the attacks, keeps a lot of hp, not the same to Reynauld, who got healed turn by turn. Reynauld survives, Vestal heals and Dalas does minimum damage. We really need to quit. Next round. We try. *We can't*. Now the vestal will recieve damage, Reynauld too, but he's infected, he can die. They recieve huge damage again, Vestal dies. Reynauld fights death, and still alive. Dalas tries to find a way to run. But Necromancer wont let us. Reynauld is so weak at this point, he wont survive another strike. Both of them try to run away. Both get predicted by Necromancer. They will die. Dalas dodges but keeps getting damage from infection. Reynauld doesnt, he gets hit, Death'sdoor. Another try, Dalas turn, but can't escape. Reynauld's turn, dies from infection. One left, he gets hit, death'sdoor. He tries one last time. He quits and survirves. We got a lot of gold, treasures, i didnt care less. Reynauld was level 5, that was a veteran quest. The trinket from that mission was for him. I didn't play DD 2 days since i got back to the town, blamed rng at first, recognized my stupidity after a few hours. Since then, im always making sure what im bringing against every quest/mission/adventure. (btw, sorry about my poor english, not my main idiom, i love this game and this community, i wanted to share this experience from my point of view, i know is not the worse, but hit me hard because im still new. Thx for reading at this point).

[@bonogiamboni4830]

@@dairygecko prophet, not necromancer, and dismas, not dalas, but yeah i agree that the rng there just multiplied the already slightly weak party comp. Bounty hunter is great for stunning and moving, but 1 he only hits the front 2 with his "more damage to marked" attack and front 3 with "more damage to stunned", and prophet is in 4th, so something like a hellion with iron swan or a ranged hero like arbalest would have been better. Hell, you could have even kept the bounty hunter, added the arbalest and made a semifunctional marking comp (marking is almost always useless, but it's nice against bosses with not a lot of actions per round). Also, either man at arms or houndmaster are imperative for prophet and vvulf thanks to their guard skill, man at arms is generally better because he also has dodge and stress resist buffs and can reprisal and other stuff, but if you go for that marking comp with arbalest and bounty then hound is better. I'm thinking something like Arbalest-Hound-Bounty-Hellion. That's hardly the best comp, it's just if you really wanted to use the bounty. If you wanted something more functional then hellion for iron swan, man at arms for guard, vestal or occultist for heals and then leper if you wanted to break all the pews for the reward or a ranged damage dealer to just snipe him in the back row.

@Carter Fox For me the Weald is by far the hardest area despite most people claiming Warrens to be tougher BUT there is a trick to the Champion Weald that makes it bearable. Just bring a Houndmaster with dodge trinkets (or a MaA in the team) and spam guard on the other frontliner you have. Most enemies have no good way of dealing damage to the backline and 80+ dodge almost guarantees you'll be fine. I hate it becouse it's the only instance in the game where you're essentially forced to bring a specific character to have a chance but oh well.

@@anonofyesterday4650 or you know, just kill them all? For me I didn't have this issue, because I just kill them one at a time, like focus fire on a single target then to the next, didn't even need a houndmaster but sure is easier with him along

[@anonofyesterday4650]

@@nicolascoast9653 Killing them works fine most of the time but it leaves you wide open to an unlucky sequence of events ending the run.

Same with the Hateful Virago - lots of health, some PROT, stun resistance and 48(!) dodge guarantee that she'll get some turns.

[@anonofyesterday4650]

@@nicolascoast9653 I agree 100%, Weald is by no means unbeatable without a HM. It's just that it's the most stressful location for me and the only one where I often pick a purely defensive character in addition to a healer. I actually like heavily aggressive parties, even ones without a main healer, and found them surprisingly effective everywhere expect in the Weald. Even the infamous Swine Skiver dies to a quick and focused burst of damage meanwhile Hateful Virago can sometimes dodge three attacks in a row and stay in the fight for multiple turns threatening heavy damage to your party. You literally can't even stun her. The Giant has about 150 HP so he ain't going down in the first round either. I won't deny that I'm possibly playing it too safe as once I found a way to mitigate the risk I stopped experimenting and only used the tried and true strategy. On my next run I'll definitely try to play more offensively in the Weald to see if it's worth it.

His first mistake was using Hellion's Iron Swan on the back row instead of focusing on killing the cultist hit by the point blank shot. He likely could have killed it then and there, or at the very least lowered its health down to get finished off by the Jester's attack. His second mistake was wasting his Vestal's first turn on healing the Highwayman instead of using Judgement on the cultist, if it still wasn't dead, or at least trying to go for a stun on either the cultist or the crawler. If the cultist had been killed, his Hellion would have lived. After the Hellion died the dungeon was lost already. His thrid mistake was again wasting his Vestal's turn using Divine Comfort instead of attacking/stunning the crawler. Then his fourth mistake was refusing to shuffle the Vestal to the back; restricting her options to only divine grace at best or absolutely nothing at worst.

[@victorfaria3797]

After the 2nd mistake, but before the hellion death, he should use duelist advance instead of grapeshot. He dealt low damage to 2 enemies, because the cultist was dead anyway by the blood DOT. That would leave the HWM in the front row and the fungal dude with some damage. In the 3d mistake, WTF he healed the party that was almost full health?

Although I didn't see reinforcements in my game, numerous times I've got a party-wide stress penalty for "dragging the fight" when in reality I was honestly trying to kill the monsters. As it is now, it's more of a punishment for *using ANY buffs/heals* than for actual stalling.

[@jaconova]

You know I finished the game and, while it´s unforgiving, it sets a great satisfacion when you finally beat the Darkest Dungeon (the maze level is brutal without relying on an walkthtrough map). It is so hard it keeps you really on your toes. Amazing game for sure, but only for really hardcore (neurotic) gamers, lol.

[@ScoutaIoo]

If you alt+f4 quick enough it wont save the stress and reinforcement hit and pass to your next turn without it, I don't feel bad about doing it when the game thinks your "stalling"

[@sydorovich2532]

J.C.R Casanova i dont know why all ppl say that this game is unforgiving. Virtue chance, death door and death resistance says absolutly another thing

[@AtlanticWalrus]

Baer's resolve is being tested! HYSTERICAL - Also wow that went south so fast and not only did you spend a lot of gold for that run, when you got back to the Hamlet Yotamsh spent 1,000 gold, thats like adding salt to the wound lmao

[@matodragonespor5000]

"When does it end?!! When does the madness stops??!!" You just became a Lovecarft character, congratulations!

hahahaha! Greatest Darkest Dungeon episode EVER! Really entertaining! Sorry, Baer. I've always thought you've gotten super lucky through DD. I guess it was all waiting for this run to turnabout!

I really hope somebody does a reanimated collab for this, just like what they did for the game grumps, because this is golden

[@grahamkolb2916]

Yo, the party comp plan for this was kinda horrible. Only stunner is the healer, double extra stress items, bleed trinkets on the hellion instead of jester or highwayman; and who even uses grape shot or breakthrough anymore, especially without tons of extra herbs brought along? Tons of level 3/4 armor and weapons in a level 5 dungeon, trying to take out low priority front targets first, not timing the death of second to last enemy to keep away reinforcement stress, didn't bring any holy waters with 1500 extra gold, stress healing the guy with 30 instead of 80 stress and also instead of attacking the multipliable reinforcements, not running at almost any point later in the fight, the list goes ooooonnnn. I mean this was before trinkets were a little better, and highwayman didn't have riposte for the fight, but still. Lucky it wasnt a harder fight with worse enemies

[@BrokenSymetry]

Front row had no way to mitigate damage: no tank, and not even the stun skill on hellion. A fungal giant with tree branch smackdown would've messed you up even worse.

[@Marceleleco16]

I was thinking the game was relatively easy until I tried my first run on a champion level dungeon to get a very nice ancestor trinket. My goodness. On the first fight my vestal, who was at 0 stress at the beginning, went 60% towards afflicted and my crusader with weapon, armor and all abilities level 5 kept doing 5 damage against the front enemies due to their high prot. By the time I got to the third room or so, my party was about to die and I had to retreat. I think amateur and veteran dungeons are the tutorial for the real challenge in champion dungeons. Man, there is no over preparing in this game. Every room can be your last.

this makes me feel slightly better about a teamwipe of sixes I had recently, where two of the deathblows were friendly fire from stressed team mates. not that much better, but hey

[@ВладиславШаклеин-ч7м]

Damn, my streaks of Occultist healing for 0 four times in a row or bumping into the champion-Collector right before fighting the Prophet can't hold a candle to those levels of luck...

[@mango7137]

This highlights why lack of game knowledge and action economy is so damn impactful in DD. If he knew to use holy water on and effigy (I know this was recorded when the game was new) he wouldn't have gotten the negative quirk. The BIG mistake was healing HYM, who was not in danger, and not stunning the fungal groper. That was the downfall of the entire run sadly. Always stun a threat, heal only to get off death's door or when the fight is officially in your control.

[@meeskockelbergh9941]

He also should have used battle balad instead of dealing damage with jester, to further boost action economy.

[@JCTiggs1]

BaerTaffy's mind; fragile, like a robins egg.

[@fff131313]

Had something similar happen last night to my A team. 2 highwaymen (1+2) an occultist (3) and Vestal (4). Minimal heals, misses on riposte, minimal damage on point blank shot, bad turn order. By round 7 my Dismas was dead, and my Vestal was having a heart attack. Worst run I ever had.

[@Kalenz1234]

"Darkest Dungeon isn't about luck" BaerTaffy:

[@TheMysteriouswatcher]

This wasn't bad luck, just a boatload of poor decision making from start to finish..

[@fairyonice9504]

The thing making me pull my hair out is battle ballad with jester instead of moving him up front. But in moments of stress, it’s easy to loose track of an obvious solution, so I don’t blame him. Lost 2 hero’s to the shambler because I didn’t notice that the clapperclaws were the ones doing big damage, not the shambler itself.

[@kliveran]

you're not a clown you're the entire circus is the best description for this video , literally was using only the bandit to figth instead of attacking with the jester or moving it forward so the vestal could heal he was buffing brain dead the accuracy also their hellion death was for not cleansing their debuffs whit one herb, that surely would saved her

This video is fun to go back and watch when you have more game experience and can identify all the little mistakes. The most obvious one in hindsight is don't bring characters with specific ability position requirements along with other characters who focus on moving.

[@13YoJest13]

The worst luck I’ve had was starting a Stygian no torch run and I got the shambler during the tutorial walk... looked at the site and found out it has a 1% chance to appear at any fight on apprentice (resolve 2 or lower) dungeons. Didn’t know they included the tutorial.

[@Paehrin]

"Welcome to Darkest Dungeon, please enjoy your stay" ^^' On a side note : the game should have not considered your actions as "stalling" since you were doing the only actions you had available at the time :/

[@ExemplarKyle]

The icing on the cake was the bounty hunter losing 1,000 gold in the activity log after.

[@googane7755]

In hindsight, you were playing poorly too. Instead of switching your vestal to the very back first you managed to cripple yourself as the highwayman can only attack the front row switch back the vestal to the front then rince and repeat.
