[@mlhx9181]

@@horizonbumpy2828 Honestly, when playing the first time, the sheer amount of info on the UI can be overwhelming. I remember also my first run failing because i had no party members with 1st position moves and ended up shifting them unnecessarily since I didn't fully understand the speed system as well. Unfortunately, the tutorial doesn't really show how team positioning works so I don't think most people will have this 'basic game knowledge' you speak of.

[@dowfreak7]

@@TubbyWonka Tbh, while you do have a point that you are less likely to lose characters after a certain point, there's still the ever-present danger of just some shitty RNG. I'm not a good player by any means, but I've had my deathless runs go on for super long and then I step 1 foot in like the cove and suddenly get a trap and 3 crits up the ass and boom, character dead. Which isn't a terrible thing, because the game is based on loss being part of it, but it sure sucks.

[@kytsunix1654]

Here’s a tip: when you check on the character, the yellow circles on the right side indicate their preferred positions with their current moves, and the red circles indicate their possible target spots with their current moves

[@bushi6489]

Also, quick reminder to buy skills and upgrade them, a lot of characters have many skills with different range (targets) and you can choose which ones to use, so you can set up teams with every character in the game as long as you equip them with the right skills to synchronize with the rest of the team. Another tip, the plague doctor is a great starter, one of his skills move the enemy target allowing you to eliminate all corpse's in a single turn and correct your positioning in case you have been pushed.

[@LadyDoomsinger]

I'm surprised he hasn't figured that out

[@TheTygre]

Really hope you make this a regular series. A few general rules I follow; 1. Invest in the armory and training guild early. They’re tied most directly to hero survivability. 2. Always bring extra supplies. My rule of thumb is 1.5 stacks of food and torches per mission length. 3. No shame in running away; your team will be bummed, but they’ll live.

[@th3w1zard248]

i usually bring that amount of torches, but double the food of the party, or more if the mission is longer. I am new to the game though.

[@afriendlyslime848]

Darkest dungeon is probably one of my favorite games, and it is brutal I really hope you continue this series. (Tip: if your struggling try bringing a ton of extra stuff on missions)

[@AvereeChaloupka]

Yeah learning what each inventory item does and which curios to use them on is key to successful longer dungeon missions!

[@RookieREX]

and dont forget to throw out the excess when you need space

[@bushi6489]

The game is actually very fun once you overcome the fear of losing characters, it sucks but it is what it is, there's no kind of softlock or something like that you just learn and learn nonstop, also I really recommend you watch the lore of the game, is very sick.

[@LucasSilvero24]

​@Offisianシ well, it doesn't take that much. But of course, you have to enjoy the game itself. Once you learn how to manage your champions, how spend money and the weakness of the monsters....not even RNG can mess with your enjoyment.

[@danman3419]

Really hope you make this a series. Also, if you come across a trap you scouted you'll see purple symbols underneath your party members. If you move your mouse over them, you can see their chances of disarming the trap. You can then select the character with the best chances and then click the trap to disarm it.

[@AvereeChaloupka]

Yes, you have to click the trap graphic on the ground in front of your characters, not just select the hero and run over it!

[@trollman_2345]

Having played DD up to the first level of the Darkest Dungeon, i have three lessons to impart upon you. 1) ALWAYS bring four more torches/food. if you think "oh, i'll probably need 12 food" then grab 16. you'll run out regardless, but at least it'll take longer. 2) Torchlight is PARAMOUNT if you want certain characters to survive. I've lost a lot of high-level heroes just because i was ambushed and my formation got fucked, so always be aware of that. 3) DO NOT underestimate movement/psh-pull skills. They've both won me some runs that i thought completely unsalvageable and lost me runs that i was steamrolling with no issue before, especially when stress/damage backline foes are involved. Other than that, have fun and try not to punch your screen when your favourite guy goes insane and dies by jumping into the mouth of a giant pig! Good luck, you'll need it.

[@ChurchoftheVindi]

Pointers: 1. use w to interact when you overlap with something on the map. helps you disarm traps, go into secret room, etc. 2. You can use items on things you interact with, thats what the open box is for. Different items have different effects. 3. Clicking the check on rubble is not the same as using a shovel. In fact, it is the opposite. Its saying okay w/o using a shovel. 4. The dots on the abilities are where they have to be to use the skill (white dots) and where it hits (red dots) 5. You can use the arrows that appear in the same spot as the "move ability" outside of combat to return to your default position.

[@theshellderinslowbrostail5422]

I hope you keep playing this, your comentary is gold

[@JAP633]

Couple of short tips in case you wanna try more of the game: Learn to prioritize stress attack units. Stress is the hardest thing to handle in the start of the game. Bring a lot of torches in the start, you'll gain less stress and won't be surprised often. The units when you check the moves have some yellow dots in the left corner, this shows their preferred positions. Bring a good amount of food both for camps and for healing. Lastly when you stun someone they'll get a 50% anti stun buff that lasts for one round. You can check their percentage chance of resisting stun under their HP and stat-sheet. And your chance to stun is noted when you hover over the stun moves. Also stun in OP as heck.

[@deathmastersnikch4365]

I wouldnt bring any torches and always immediatly snuff it out in early game. The game stays manageable but the difference in loot is ridiculous.

[@JAP633]

@@deathmastersnikch4365 Super good once you got the hang of the game. But for someone learning I'd still recommend keeping light high to reduce stress. And getting surprised can really throw you off before you learn how to manage it. But if you did so from the start you're a god damn champ!

Hey Mythy, about the revealed traps in the floor. You can have your selected character disarm it by clicking on the trap. The odds that the character will actually disarm it is dependent on their class and if they got any quirks or trinkets that change it

[@kevingutierrez585]

Hey Myth, just wanna say that I am happy that you are giving this game a shot and thank you for the laughs. In terms of Co-op in this game, I would recommend Parsec or whichever software that let's your other friends interact with your computer. My friends and I have a blast assigning characters and switching control over the mouse wondering what each other are going to do. Some battles can get very stressful as you already experienced. Sorry if you thought of this already and would rather actually have in-game co-op than to set anything up. I can understand that. I just thought this would be something you would like to know, if you really want your friends to tag along with you.

myth, here's a tip, to prevent the amount of stress your characters get over time make sure to keep a general rule to like keep the torch light up. Some characters may have weird quirks that cause them to be more stressed when faced with light but the general rule is to keep it bright as you can, without wasting your torches. also you can remove quirks at the infirmary, so you can stop the knight guy from stealing your stuff permanently (also MAKE THIS A SERIES!)

Try to use items at the curios (like statue, debre, chest) some item give bonus, some just avoid boon, and some give you boon... :D At the characters's skillscreen there are yellow and red dots. If a dot is large then that position is the ideal to that charater, it it small but exist that it can be useful there, if it empty then in that place that person is completley useless.... Shovels are good... like bandages. Finally for the whole game. You cant win, you can only suffer more.

[@Kraanox]

Here's a tip, if you get to a blockage and click the hand and not the shovel, your heroes will take stress and damage because you won't consume the shovel. That's what stressed your characters.

[@RensReckluse]

yo myth going into the darkest dungeon is amazing

[@dismissedend4276]

you can just right click the item to use it, also, you need to use more than one torch to keep your light level high, Id recommend not going below 75%. Another good tip is learning how to stall. The game is tough and you need to take whatever opportunity to heal your health and stress that you can, so if you have one guy left, and he has a bleed/blight that will kill him, don't hit him, maybe use a buff or hit a corpse even if you don't need to so you can hopefully use a healer to heal. Each curio reacts to different items, like a key will open one of those gold chests or cabinets. You missed the secret room with the star, you have to enter it like a room, then use a key on the chest inside to get 3 really expensive gems. Hopefully these tips help you out a bit.

you can also retreat from combat the same way you abandon the quest, though it's not a 100% guarantee
