Crimson Court and You: Darkest Dungeon Guide

[@LiIGremlin]

The most fun things to do in CC: 1.die 2.get crimson curse 3.die again

[@exantiuse497]

A couple of things I didn't see you mentioning: 1. Your heroes will catch the crimson curse if they spend time in a facility with a hero who has the curse. I.e. if you have a hero who has the crimson curse, and another who doesn't have it e.g. in the sanitarium together, then the other is likely to catch the curse. I think this is important to note because you might get mighty screwed if half of your roster gets the curse like this, you might actually run out of blood or at least spend too much time doing the gathering missions and you increase your risk of meeting the fanatic 2. The Fanatic will only appear if you send two or more heroes with the curse on a mission at the same time, and if you meet him on a mission and run, the next fight will always be the fanatic, i.e. you can't run from him and must kill him or cancel the mission if you meet him once 3. You DON'T need to kill the Countess to beat Bloodmoon. If you kill the Heart of Darkness, then the Bloodmoon hero death and time limits will go away, even if you didn't complete the first Courtyard mission. This is why Bloodmoon is easier than Stygian, you get extra time and more allowed hero deaths essentially for free

[@RobCrowley85]

Thank you. I wish I could save this comment

[@invurret9533]

Quick addition: The chance is heightened doing the same activity, so while it's probably fine to send them to the same building, sending them to the same activity is just asking for the curse to spread.

[@basilvitamin8878]

That method with the curse spreading using town facilities is very useful if you want to get your main damage dealers infected on purpose

[@TheLethargicWeirdo985]

Getting pagan talisman after the Fanatic fight is just the salt in the wound lol

[@GeraltofRivia22]

I got one from a chest in the Warrens

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Two things that were missing here that I should point out: - A transformed Manservant is definitely your highest priority. A full-team guard is his worst move, but after that he also gains a bleed skill with respectable damage (Choice Cut) and his new stress skill (Refined Palate, I think?) can stun. - A hero with Crimson Curse canNOT contract _any diseases whatsoever._ None at all. Nada.

[@Lucas-gg8ik]

My Leper always kill that thing with one hit :)

[@Veemo590]

becomes elder scrolls vampire with pure disease resist

[@quinnlee-miller9792]

That second point is great for the Warrens and the Curse itself and makes me feel far less afflicted over them

[@DinnerForkTongue]

@@quinnlee-miller9792 Aye, the Crimson Curse essentially hard-counters the worst part of the Warrens.

[@quinnlee-miller9792]

@@DinnerForkTongue If only it hard countered the damage; ngl, I'd activate the CC for a decent trinket and the possibility that it replaces Warrens loadouts with far more manageable bloodsuckers lmfao

[@BARON123446]

Countess is no joke. Took my best SB to this fight with Fladaddy, MAA and Vestal. SB got popped in two or three turns (crit into DD into dying on frist turn from blight), leaving me without damaged, thankfully bleeds from Flag took her down. Never, at any point underestimate her, she's final boss of the DLC for a reason.

[@jacobsargent5367]

Lost plague doctor to the 12 pounder yesterday. Still managed to beat it without any more losses, so at least it wasn't in vain. This is why we make sure our heroes' skills and equipment are properly upgraded before we take them on missions, kids.

[@RandomKeyCombiner]

After playing through most of it, I can say this is the best addition out of all, maybe even topping Color of Madness. I know this has been said before by other players, but I, too, really like the never-before-seen interpretation of vampires. Bosses are especially cool and creepy.

[@jamesgardner1825]

[@twoshu8940]

Got me through a boring ass internship that’s real

[@hariman7727]

If I remember correctly, I think I beat the countess by putting together a team that didn't care about move resist, and could always attack, heal, stun, or do something useful, no matter where they got pushed to. I still remember her being a beast to beat though.

[@Wint20k]

Fun fact, this was the video that convinced me to reinstall DD after about a year. I've put around another 107 hours in it since. I love ur videos man please keep it up!

[@ShuffleFM]

That's awesome!

[@flagellantbestgirl]

Just wanted to touch upon how Croc works, which is that after staying 1 entire turn in rank 2 or 3 it will use Submerge, then Apex. Disorienting Blast and Flashbang still reset the timer, even if they move Croc from 2 to 3 or vice versa. Since they have a Stun attached, imo they are the best way to deal with Croc.

[@PsychoMonkeyxx]

You know for much I praise BH being the Ultimate Croc Counter I never knew that Even I still have quite a lot to learn

[@S_Black]

That Apex crit never gets old :) Also, you can replace one the Heavy Boots with Crew Bell if you have it. There are also some class trinkets that have +35% move resist. Chipped Tooth for Flag for example.

[@somebuddy2162]

24:33 You can also save the first red key from the beginning of the quest to open red door #2 before fighting the baron. Probably safer this way, as you may not be in the position to backtrack a lot after the baron fight.

[@SpeakerTerenus]

Everytime I fight a Crocidillian, he crits my healer to Death's Door and he/she dies to bleed the next turn. Every. Fucking. Time.

[@mikoajciemiega8018]

With crock you just have to hope for good RNG, if you are unlucky it will crit 3 people with apex or sit in 4 and spam that mosquito attack

[@Lucas-gg8ik]

One time i lost a run because the croc crit my vestal with teeth, put her in front, bleed her, crit her again with apex predator and she die in the first death door. I swear this fight is all about RNG.

[@fishy4275]

You prevent apex by using movement skills. No need to rely on RNG. He can't submerge in rank 1 and can't apex without submerge. So just keep pulling him/stunning. In endless mode I don't even let him use apex, it's simply a run ender.

[@edgybrat5710]

I remember being curious and going to the crimson court, not knowing what to expect. Was definitely not prepared.

New players: Buy the game with all DLC New players: Ah yes time to play the game for the first time The game: If you new don't enable cc New players: That sign won't stop me because I can't read

[@Leiska86]

IMO the game is so long and grindy it doesn't make much sense to recommend playing through it once without DLC and then again with it. Steam says I have 135 hours on DD and I don't believe I've actually ever finishedf a run. I always run out of steam before getting through it, and losing a champion unit immediately slaps on a metric ton of more grind to get a replacement up.

21:00 well no shit the baron should be the most fun, hes a entertainer he better be fun or i would have gotten a refund

[@Khrene]

~11:30 I run a similar team replacing Jester with the Houndmaster (Vest/HM/Flag/Hell) While you don't get as high stress resist or the Jester's fun button, but you do get more options against the crocodile with another source of healing, versatile attack range, a stun he can use if he gets pulled up

[@utkubenli]

For guardian i usually take ARB, healer,hound/bh and SB. Puncture, mark and dumpster damage. Plus SB gives armor piercing to squad so that helps a lot.

[@basilvitamin8878]

Never take a hero with Dipsomania to the courtyard btw. I learned that the hard way today when my Flagellant wasted three wine crates worth of firewood

Just got into the game because my friend were talking about the second one. So I been playing this and I love it. One of my favorites of all time and I appreciate this channel you provided. Lot of Help and Fun to watch. Thank you

[@GeraltofRivia22]

My team for just running the Courtyard dungeons is Plague Doctor + Jester + Hound Master + Flagellant. Hasn't let me down yet.

[@jackofastora8962]

Crimson court is a bleeder’s wet dream, ironic how the blood obsessiors are weakest to exsanguination. A main thing I had trouble getting over is crimson curse itself, getting annoyed whenever a valuable character was randomly afflicted with it just from drinking in the same bar as another. But then I went on a winery quest, and began to see it as more of a boon, status debuffs mean very little after all, and the buffs from feeding a craver far out weigh the negatives, especially with the plentiful supply you receive.

[@aguywithoutamustache8624]

Thanks for the guide I was able to do all of the baron mission in one run

[@ShadowPhoenix82]

Man, you aren't joking about not playing this on your first time! I'm inches away from restarting. I love Flagellant but I was NOT prepared for the curse.

[@EmnelGaming]

Talk about a fucking timing xD I picked the game back up 2 days ago after a few years hiatus and the court is a bit of a pain (you kill one croc and suddenly there are mosquitos carrying Romanian malaria in all the dungeons). Was looking for the guide last night but there was nothing to be found, which was weird. Thanks for putting this together!

[@themadsuika3909]

A team that i liked to use, for the Vizcount and Countress Dungeons was Shield Breaker, Crusader, Grave Robber and Vestal I think this is a good team, because you can equip all damage trinkets on SB and Court Trinkets on GR for some juicy damage, The Crusader is a DMG/Stun/Stress Healer That helps to move GR back to rank 3, and Vestal just does Vestal Things And i didn't consider Jester because of bad luck, all my characters that have high dodge were the ones who get the most crits, and Jester is a fragile boi so… yeah

[@fishy4275]

One of my favourite teams for Baron is CRU-HWM-HWM-CRU. Don't even bother healing, just riposte/lance and stun until it's dead. Last run I was able to continue and get the CC trinket after Baron too.

[@geekinwithJamesHancock]

Countess strat worked perfectly. Many thanks!

[@lorenzogaspero9758]

Best tip ever to don't use it on the first run ever...i did it guys and omfg...it was hellish even more than the normal game itself since the mosters of the court will appear in other dungeons too getting you in toughest fights...absolutely nuts. And the curse before you remove it is hard to deal as a new player because you don't know how to use it properly.

I've always used Vestal/Jester/Houndmaster/Flag for the Courtyard. Always loved it. For stress I use endure on the Flagellant to pile stress on him, then use the torches on those hallway things to relieve stress or just use Jester.

This team I always run for courtyard is vest pos4 jester pos3 HIGH way man pos 2 Man at arms pos 1. Hwm only uses duelist advance and pbs. To shift between pos 1 and 2. M,a,a just reposts and guards either vestel or jester (which ever one is in the worse spot.) Jester uses Battle balard every odd numbered turn so I dont need to use accuracy trinkets and either one of the bleed attacks on a even numbered turn. Just to help out with damage. Can de stress if needed. The vestel does what ever she wants to or is needed. MOST OF THE TIME judgement is good enough for vestel self heal. (Don't bother if the to hit chance is below 90. You know how cruel dd luck can be.) But other than that just spam aoe heal and stun the chevelar. This has gotten me through all courtyard missions in 1 week every time. Yes I know this is the most stally and boring way to do it yes I advise spaming bolster with shard dust for all the main boss fights why. Cause it makes the game not half as difficult. Does that make this stratergy require color of madness? YES GET OFF MY BACK PLZ. This has been some guy on the internet writing a essay on a video game. Plz no grade it.

Yesterday I had quite the peculiar Baron fight. In short, I made some very poor decisions on my side, and got nearly wiped, but my shieldbreaker absolutely clutched it, went virtuous, and nuked Baron in third act, almost singlehandedly winning me the fight. What I wrote wasn't much, but it was genuinely intense and I could write so much more about it, but it would never do it justice, so ill just leave it at that.

[@childofmars9001]

one setup that has worked very well against the fanatic for me is (vestal, jester, flagyelent, leper) jester can buff and can keep bleed going from any position. leper can mark himself and protect (if he gets on then pyre you can leave him there for a VERY long time) vestal just heals whoever the fanatic hit and flagyelent do big bleed and self heals (he seems to be the one who actually takes damage as long as the leper is on the pyre) kinda just gotta hope he grabs the leper early on but if he isn't he can easily destroy the pyre to reset it.

[@basilvitamin8878]

I basically used the same comp earlier, except with Houndmaster in rank 3 spamming Cry Havoc. works really well when the last enemy is a Chevalier and you've weakened/intimidated it to doing 0 damage, and can heal the bleeds with PD

[@RobCoFPS]

My team for Garden Guardian is Vestal - Jester - Man-at-Arms - Shieldbreaker. It's super safe: Man-at-Arms gets Heavy Boots & Stun Resist (e.g. Wilbur's Flag) and guards Shieldbreaker, Shieldbreaker kills arm and then body, Jestal for sustain. Still tedious, but you won't get stunned and pushed to the back all the time.

[@fishy4275]

Sounds overkill in terms of safety. This boss is pretty harmless. I'd strongly suggest trying double SB. One can guardbreak while shield is down allowing the other to attack. Now you deal damage every turn instead of every other turn

[@RobCoFPS]

@@fishy4275 You can actually attack every turn since you are not getting stunned and pushed back. Additionally, Vestal can attack as well most of the time since the Man-at-Arms takes like 2 damage from the shield.

[@fishy4275]

@@RobCoFPS How can you attack with SB every turn if the shield is guarding? You have to guard break it first. The shield attack can be ignored in my experience. Knockback doesn't stop SB's from attacking. Ves deals no damage in this fight due to prot anyway. The team just seems unnecessarily slow, but whatever works for you is fine ofc

HM, PD, Flag and Hel for me. It just works. Though sometimes I pick Bountyhunter instead of PD in order to deal the croc.

[@Donagalthegamer]

I've had very little problems with CC on everything but Crocodilian which until this video has always felt so stupidly overtuned to me, I didn't realise moving it was the solution, but the first 2 times I met it, it cleaned me up, had to run away, lost 2 of my best teams in 2 different Hamlets, and I when I thought I was gonna 1 week Baron it nearly killed another. I was probably just preparing wrong, and I hadn't cracked the code, but the damage numbers feel like how Brigand X pounder is meant to feel

[@ShuffleFM]

To be fair moving it isn't exactly intuitive as a strategy. The croc itself moves around a lot so it makes the player think there's no point to moving it instead. Since it has 2 actions a turn it's hard to keep track of what it's doing unless you really focus on it as well.

[@aric074]

i just ran the first team you mentioned in the veteran CC, pd/jes/occ/lep, and i noticed that it's extremely vulnerable to surprise since you're depending on stuns and also for leper to take 1 or 2 enemies out before stun resist builds up too high. i lost a pd to 2 back to back buried blast crits. trying to find a team that can 1 week the crimson court. maybe i'll try that team again with -surprise chance, but also thinking about a tankier team with a bunch of stress relief like vestal/jester with dirk stab/crusader with holy lance/flag

Lol Not that I have invitation crisis (usually I do the bosses in one go) but find it funny that you need an invitation to go and get slammed by 3 chevaliers for the lols like if it was a privilege. And who the heck checks if I have the invitation? The boss? A random mosquito in the door? Mmhhhh yes, this invitation is gud, welcome to the shithole, lemme guide you where you left... here, you left just outside the fat guy with corpses hangin on the roof like spiderman, enjoy your stance :D Also, can I falsify the invitation?

Yeah fan is worse than blue recovery charm it's such a joke. You'd think one of the hardest bosses, if not the hardest, would drop a decent trinket

[@shanoia6349]

I would like to add just a little something about the flagellant : As you know he can get a ton of boons from high stress, since he have his own affliction that is more beneficial than detrimental most of the time, and also trinkets that give him even more power if he has high stress / is afflicted. So feeding him blood when it's not necessary to get extra stress that you have the control over is very useful I think. Just pop a bottle or two before a boss to get afflicted and voilà~

I got the key before the boss.... Did I mess up by using it before going for Baron?

[@ShuffleFM]

Nah there's another red key I think, if you're referring to that one.

Ok this is gonna sound so nitpicky but since you said you weren't sure about some pronunciations, I should probably let you know that Chevalier is pronounced "Shuh-vah-lee-ay" I had an english teacher in middle school whose last name was Chevalier, and she was not particularly nice, but she made sure that everyone pronounced her name correctly, so that is my "Crimson Curse" to you 😂

I went in really early and got my ass kicked haha.

[@matiasmorales073]

I re watched it now, so at what level should I start doing this missions? I'm guessing level 2 and having defeated like the second-third boss ¿?

[@ShuffleFM]

Level 2 is good enough to open it

[@bongosmcdongos4190]

Anybody else feel like baron should be the second boss? He's way harder than viscount imo. Maybe I just had bad team comp.

I'm doing a bloodmoon run and I just realized I made the mistake of leveling all of my characters to 3 before doing the first courtyard mission that is level 0 to 2's only, do I really have to dismiss 4 of my characters to get new ones to be able to progress? I was thinking of waiting for the town event that lets you go in a dungeon with any level, but I think that is blocked by the town is abuzz

[@ShuffleFM]

Can you still increase the roster? That's the easiest fix. You're right, you can't get the town event because the courtyard event blocks it.

[@IdrewmyProfilePicture]

@@ShuffleFM already maxed out the roster yeah, I had two die unfortunately though so now I got the level 1 recruits upgrade and I'm just waiting for 2 more good ones to show up in the coach and I guess i'll just abandon a couple of level 3's once they do to have room and hope I can do it with the new level 1's; or maybe ill level them to two and then try. kind of worried though because I haven't even tried the first courtyard event and I'm on week 40 x.x. first real attempt at bloodmoon so idk how bad that is but it doesn't feel good.
