Darkest Dungeon - Gibbering Prophet (Champion level Prophet boss)

[@wisemage0]

It would be pretty funny if after -100% damage his attacks started healing you.

[@simonjrobinson]

That's such a great strategy with the weakening curse! The falling rubble was absolutely destroying my team with the "level 3" prophet. My healer just couldn't keep up.

[@lasagesseenboite7268]

Simon R I killed him today with Arbalest Hound Master Man at Arms and Shieldbreaker at Champion lvl. The fight took 4 rounds with arbalest and hm mark procs and the rubble of ruin wasn’t a problem with MaA prot and Hm guard with dodge at 93. It was quite sad honestly.

[@dr.brightsamulet.3157]

you could also use intimidate on that leper. Works good if you have only one occultist

[@politicallycorrectredskin796]

Poor Prophet. Weakening curse made him pointless.

[@zing1958]

[@afmghost1759]

I just used one occultist. Doing this makes it so the easier version is actually harder 😂

[@manolgeorgiev9664]

Damn, Occultist used to be busted back then. Now he's just really good.

[@_bruce_guan]

Amazing team comp . If I didnt found this vedio , i might try MAA,HM,Vestal,Arbalest . Two occultist probably is the best way to deal with Gibbering Prophet . Now i would level up another occultist . :)

[@Devver08]

I tried putting two crusaders in spots 2 and 3 doing continual lances directly to the prophet's face and a swan helion in position one up front and still did not kill this guy. The falling rubble was too strong. The prophet killed the Helion, but everyone else escaped... All characters were maxed at 5 armor/weapons/skills and decent damage trinkets. This strat seems like you could use it for every boss in the game - lol!

[@ninjasheep7492]

This guy was actually very easy for me. I brought a crusader, vestal, occultist, plague doctor. Geared the plague doctor for stun for 54% stun chance or easy blight mitigation and she also had tones of speed quirks so she ended up often as the death door healer. Geared the crusader for damage. Geared the vestal for protection and geared the necro for healing and crit. The vestal was slow af and made sure no one was on deaths door from the blight for the rubble, the plague doctor was for healing deaths door before the blight and removing it, the necro was there to ensure the crusader could keep dishing out damage and to counter the rubble's deaths door. I literally never got deaths door with a chance for a killing blow never debuffed and never stunned (rip 54%). It was easy as hell I had 2 people go to deaths door twice and destroyed all the barriers. Having 4 people who can heal sort of negates the challenge of fighting anything but large groups.

[@TheLordSheogorath]

Ugh, finally beaten this guy.... Occultist didn't work on me, probably because his debuff skill wasn't strong enough, even with 80% damage reduced he still hit me with over 25 damage, so I picked leper, master at arms, bandit and vestal. But I never even considered bringing TWO occultists with me. :D Wow, I'm an idiot. :D Made it FINALLY at the brink of teeth though, and handmaster guy got stressed out. He gave me most trouble. -.- to me it was (hardest to easiest): Prophet > Swine boss > Witch > flesh > necromancer > crew> mermaid > cannon

[@art-cs6us]

U can stack both occultist and leper dmg reduce

[@MsGorteck]

I just found this, great strategy thanks.

[@ycylchgames]

I've only just realised that the prophet's eye on you power is the illuminati symbol. I feel stupid now for not realising sooner XD

[@NFLBlitz214]

I just party wiped on this guy

[@xav6287]

This boss is a quick cash grab thanks to the wooden obstacles. Especially without torch light.

[@hy1804-d9b]

briliant idea but should be updated... it's nonsense that all damage become 0

[@slevinlaine]

Works great!! thanks a lot : ).

[@monoyou]

why the rubble of ruin can be reduc damage by weaken the Prophet LUL

[@tonycallme3667]

Why does your Leper doesn't take any damage from those rubbles? Idk what kinda trinket that is, i want it. I just realized that it's because Occultist spam debuff disabled his damage to 0.

[@furioussherman7265]

Your party seems good, but I'd have gone for one that focuses a lot of damage on the Prophet himself and mitigates/avoids the damage done by Rubble of Ruin. Arbalest/Vestal/Houndmaster/Man at Arms Abilities: Arbalest: Sniper Shot/Sniper's Mark/Battlefield Bandage/Suppressing Fire Vestal: Judgement/Divine Grace/Divine Comfort/Dazzling Light Houndmaster: Hound's Rush/Target Whistle/Guard Dog/Blackjack Man at Arms: Command/Rampart/Retribution/Defender Trinkets: Arbalest: Wrathful Bandana/Bulls-Eye Bandada Vestal: Tome of Holy Healing/Sacred Scroll Houndmaster: Spiked Collar/Focus Ring Man at Arms: Heavy Boots/Rampart Shield Campfire skills: Arbalest: Restring Crossbow/Triage/Marching Plan/Encourage Vestal: Sanctuary/Pray/Bless/Chant Houndmaster: Therapy Dog/Hound's Watch/Release the Hound/Encourage Man at Arms: Tactics/Weapons Practice/Wound Care/Encourage Strategy: Camp out before fight, use Tactics, Weapons Practice, and Restring Crossbow. Alternatively, if stress is high, use Therapy Dog, Marching Plan, Hound's Watch, and an Encourage. When in fight, use Defender and/or Guard Dog to protect the Targets hit by Calamitous Prognostication. Spam Command for Accuracy and Crit buffs. Mark with the Arbalest to lower Dodge, use Dog Treat, and go to town on the Prophet for massive damage. Heal everyone up with Vestal. Alternatively, you could replace the Arbalest with a Plague Doctor. If you do so, then set her up as follows: Abilities: Noxious Blast/Plague Grenade/Blinding Gas/Battlefield Medicine Trinkets: Blasphemous Vial/Stun Amulet Campfire skills: Experimental Vapours/Leeches/The Cure/Self-Medicate Strategy: Stun Prophet with Blinding Gas and Blight him with Plague Grenade while Man at Arms spams Command, Vestal heals, and Houndmaster Marks and does huge damage.

[@LPMan]

Furious Sherman stunning seems a bit pointless on bosses considering its not guaranteed (think its capped at 90% despite buffs) and they get multiple goes per turn. I think the tactic here is a way to destroy the pews for huge cash whilst taking little to no damage in the process. It's pretty OP itd seem.

[@furioussherman7265]

LimboProductionsMan That's why you bring people with really good stuns like the Houndmaster, Bounty Hunter, and Plague Doctor.

[@quinnlee-miller9792]

The only way this could be better is if it were Quad Leper

[@BSMaker]

curious to see how you handle the Cannon. It's the hardest boss, in my opinion.

[@TheLordSheogorath]

Cannon was the easiest boss to me. I just bring guys who can attack and easily kill the cannon man. Not once did the cannon on any level had the chance to fire against my team. Prophet was the worst one for me.

[@joshuaarminio1440]

I brought three Highwaymen and a Grave Robber. They are all very quick and could kill all the adds and damage the cannon , no problem.

[@damjanresek8474]

I mean just use the warrior chick, and plague doctor withblight so they cN reaCh him from behind, and heal away deaths door

[@openmindedgamer8923]

That is a good strat too, but I think the point of this video's team comp was too show another way to beat the champion level prophet. Especially if the goal was to get the treasure bonus w/o fear of losing heroes

[@ricardofernamdezportabella8103]

Nice tactic! You tested the antiquarian?

[@Perant]

+Ricardo Fernámdez Portabella Nope, haven't touched the new patch yet.

[@voodooozo3755]

I dont recommend. Stacked dodges on antiquarian can seem nice but they arent that reliable. No matter how low is enemy's accuracy and how high is your dodge there is always at least 10% of him hitting you.

[@NLABRAiNiAC]

I've only just started Darkest Dungeon- it's a little sad to see that the higher level fights are just stat up version of the earlier version. No new attacks or mechanics.

[@vinayssusman4540]

No, there ARE new mechanics to some of the bosses. Fight the swine prince and take a look at his video on him. You'll see Wilbur has new attacks and a extra action.

[@dragenfire68]

NLABRAiNiAC you don't understand how this game works so you? adding in random attacks or abilities that the player can't see coming would make the game stupidly tedious, and completely imbalanced.

[@dragenfire68]

NLABRAiNiAC send in your best people... they all die to a attack that wasn't there the last time around.... grind until you have a handful of champions that might make it.... rinse and repeat

[@NLABRAiNiAC]

dragenfire68 On the flipside, fighting the exact same boss 3 times for the sake of arbitrary progression is tedious. Darkest Dungeon is about making the best of a bad situation, self proclaimed. Everytime you run into a new enemy, you have no idea whats coming. The first time you fight any of the bosses, you have no idea of what they're capable of. So you saying it would make the game imbalanced is a moot point, because the game already does that.

[@dragenfire68]

NLABRAiNiAC there are more then 3 bosses, and no, fighting the boss and being ill prepared for it is different then fighting the boss once, and then seeing it again, but with a completely different skill set.

[@ulrichhartel6805]

Easy mode tutorial !

[@adamantiuscloudcat1799]

Why he can't hit them? Because of the occultism debuff?

[@orlandomolina6394]

the prophet might as well just heal them at that point

[@felix1845]

I find this boss the hardest

[@krzysztofpiasek5682]

Why not just... take frontline characters that can hit 4th rank. This fight is 3 times as long as it needs to be lol.

[@bobbob5007]

Cause he is farming pews u fucking idiot
