Another mistake that I made that I hoarded gold and relics like crazy, waiting for an opportunity to use them later for a better items in shop. The result was I was over-encumbered an entire region and didn't found the things I need, and resources just piled up, when I could've used them before to buy at least something of use. So if you're reading this new players - dont' be greedy. Riches won't help you in a grave.

Another tip is compose a team with a specific lair boss and the confession boss in mind. In DD2, counterplay is heavily rewarded, so make the most of it.
@Rattman_4126 Жыл бұрын
One of my most common mistakes: before going to lair or other serious fight you want to switch your build (skills, trinkets, combat items) to be more effective. For example, I went to sluice with Dismas with rat skull equipped. I was like: "Why can't I heal him? Oh, the rat skull. Well, too bad." And then, when he died I was like "Wait. All this time I could unequip it. I'm an idiot."

Here's my #1 beginner mistake: Picking up Orphan Runaway and have her either stay in Rank 4 throwing fireflies or fixing in rank 1 whacking with +dmg ransack, where shes vulneravle with her -hp. WRONG (or at least not optimal or dopamine inducing)! The path is meant to be a dance path. Back rank for building up burns, move forward (perferably with other heros), into a beefy backdraft. Firestarter in between, either for longer burns or critical backdraft nukes. How else can you achieve those 100+ dmg?

Here are a few tips as well 1) TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR HEROES' GOALS! Sometimes, you would need to do them to get more candles in order to unlock better stuff faster than normal 2) ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU CAN DO THE SECONDARY OBJECTIVE! They can give out great rewards in most cases
@kearseymorton2078 Жыл бұрын
my humble tips: - Don't avoid going to the Sluice, you can get nice extra loot and extra mastery points - Save your combat items and inn items for later in the run as the game become more difficult - Don't heal your heroes unless absolutely necessary, they will heal on the way between battles in the coach - Look carefully at the quirks when selecting a hero at the beginning, they will make or break your run (some quirks are insanely powerful (like breacher), some doom you to an early end) - Unlock new trinkets as early as possible at the altar of hope as they are deciding factors in a run
@kamilslup7743 Жыл бұрын
About the quirks: *laughs in breacher grave robber*, but yeah the quirks make a big diffrence, the best bad ones either do almost nothing (occultomania, tune hummer, etc.) And there's also vicious which despite being a negative quirk gives great value (+10% dmg but 15% chance for vulnerable after every attack) And avoid ascetic, they call it positive but it hinders you a lot (bans some inn items and -10% positive relationship chance)

Not so certain about the no heal advice, they dont recover that quickly if its just a single nod to nod trip. Id say 60%+ health at last stages of battle dont heal, but below 60% Id keep in mind WHEN are your next fights.
@danewardlocke9014 Жыл бұрын
@@RobaczeYoYo Related to that, if your final enemy is already going to die from a DoT on them or you have multiple characters before the enemy, if one of your characters *can* use a healing skill there's often no reason not to do so; the fight should end before anything bad happens either way, so you may as well squeeze a little more good stuff out of it. (The exact circumstances matter, of course; if that last enemy has good DBR, for example, you might want to just keep attacking it anyway to make sure that it *does* actually die, and sometimes you may want to end the fight before a particular hero's turn comes up even though they act before the enemy does, etc.)

I'd say there are few more important strategic issues, which are counterintuitive and difficult to grasp: 1. You need to clear lairs and dens. Otherwise you won't have enough money to buy stuff and your party will be much weaker. Dens give you very good discounts, which helps a lot with good gear 2. Super important to build relationships in the team. Otherwise everything will go down the hill. Stress will build up and you'll be loosing control 3. Super important to keep negative quirks under control. Invest lots of hope into inn items early - this will give items necessary to remove quirks 4. Pile some baubles and visit hoarders closer to the end of the run. This will give you more chances to properly equip your party In other words, you need to invest a lot of effort into properly building and equipping your party. If you do this your party will easily dismantle enemies and bosses. Otherwise, every ordinary fight will be a major challenge.

For me it was understanding that there isn't a hidden hit% chance like there is in most other turn based RPG's. Pokemon, Final Fantasy, etc. Everyone hits 100% of the time unless there are tokens in play that dictate otherwise, and the effects of these tokens are transparently communicated to the player. Even knowing that I still sometimes find myself planning for a lucky enemy miss when I am in a dire circumstance.

One thing I'd add about combat items, is I've found being a bit more liberal in my use with them has proven quite effective. Rather than trying to have this horde-up mentality by-in-large. While you should use them effectively and correctly, they also do nothing if you just keep them as well, hoping for some big payoff or situation that may never come. It makes more sense to use them, and save some for harder fights you know might be coming, or the boss at the end. But otherwise, it doesn't serve anybody to have 12 combat items at the end of a run sitting in your inventory you never used.

I just started Darkest Dungeon 2 after finally getting over 200 weeks in a playthrough on Darkest Dungeon which I felt was a thorough enough attempt at seeing the majority of the games content to finally justify buying Darkest Dungeon 2. Turns out this was a mistake because now I find myself being very irritated that the second one is at least 95% different than the first one, the similarities basically end at having a team of four and a couple of those people on the team are similar in appearance to their originals. So all that time spent and knowledge gained got thrown right out the window with DD2 because there is nothing other than choosing if someone should be front line or backline that is the same, and I'm still not even sure if that will hold true.
