***a generous commentator noted that heroes lose Virtues if they hit 200 Stress again, which I do not remember encountering before on my own, especially since half the purpose of Virtues is to reduce stress. (Virtue is marked by a white moon-crescent on a heros health bar - no white moon-crescent means no virtue.) Note that as pictured here, she somehow lost her virtuous status for no reason I can comprehend***. The only hero to survive was my virtuous Vestal (main healing hero).

Then three of my heroes had heart attacks because of high STRESS (mental damage which can lead to insanity, virtue, and heart attacks), even though 2 of them had health left. I slew 2 wolves, and the witch was going to die from bleeding damage in 2 turns. The battle comprised of 3 rabid wolves and 1 hedge witch. Then I encountered the final battle at low light level.

I somehow survived the entire dungeon with all my heroes alive & healthy one had gone insane (large penalties), and another had become virtuous (small bonuses). Recently, I attempted a long dungeon to get the final Ancestors Trinket (extra equipment for heroes) I needed to complete an achievement. Please remember that it is not the computers fault: it is the designers fault for making a rogue-like game so heavily based on random number generation.īefore you begin playing, you should be aware of the level of bullsh*t the game can occasionally pull on you: The random number generator is never kind, and occasionally it stacks an amount of bullsh*t on you and your heroes that will make you want to ragequit, uninstall, and possibly do grievous harm to your computer. The tide of battle - and your profits, and the lives of your heroes - hinges on a random number generator. Please be aware that while Darkest Dungeon can be fun, it can also be nerve-wracking and incredibly frustrating.
