Each time hero gets in a trap, misses a shot or lacks food causes them to start being nervous, but the worst thing to happen is darkness. Even the smallest obstacles can lead your team to madness and death. The main trouble of Darkest dungeon is that the fighters always experience stress during the campaign. Besides, there are also special hero skills and artefacts that give bonuses against certain enemy classes. increased stress) when they meet enemies of a particular kind. Meanwhile, a negative trait can impose a debuff (e.g. increased damage, accuracy, or the chance to deal critical damage) when they encounter enemies of specific classes. Positive character traits can give bonuses (e.g. Some character traits are related to enemy classes. During the dungeon research, the heroes acquire various character traits and constant behavioural features: both negative (alcoholism, kleptomania) and positive, making the hero braver and enduring.Įnemies in Darkest Dungeon belong to certain classes or types. In the base city, you can recruit a squad of fighters who will go on another mission, equip them and provide with all the necessary supplies. The more often you complete a mission in a particular region, the more new quests are opened there and the closer you get to the final "boss" of that location. There is a global map with five dungeons and ruins, and you can choose which location to clear up next time. The hardest challenge is to save the lives and mental health of all heroes in the team. Before each campaign, the player must select four heroes from the recommended set and lead them through randomly generated dungeons collecting treasures, family relics and destroying various monsters encountered on the way. The player controls a group of adventurers exploring dungeons under an ancient manor and different locations around the small town Hamlet. The text says that the relative's manor is corrupted and haunted with the evilest creatures from the dark depths of dungeons unfortunately, the player's goal now is to come over as soon as possible and clean up the mess started by demons. Few characters will wrack up incremental damage as he can.The Darkest Dungeon plot begins with an introduction it tells the story about the player's relative who sent a letter asking for help.

Overall, the Hound Master is one of the most interesting characters in the game because his role in a party is not so clear cut. It's certainly a situational move, but one that can come in handy when a character is in a pinch. Whenever you don't need Whistle, it can be swapped out for Guard Dog. The Hound Master is great in this role because he has a very high-speed stat, meaning he can get the markdown before your other characters take their turns. The skill also synergises well with the damage over time effects too.Ī whistle can be brought along whenever you have a Bounty Hunter or other character that benefits from marking units. Hound's Rush and Hound's Harry pack enough punch, whilst Blackjack can be used to slow down bigger threats that can't be brought down as quickly. This build allows the Hound Master to work in a kind of combat-support role. Coupled with the Hound Master's respectable damage output, this skill makes the character a perfect supporting attacker capable of killing weaker enemies outright, or softening up stronger foes with bleed. What's more, Hound's Rush can be used on any rank, making it easily the most precise bleeding skill in the game. This is worth factoring in when you're determining who to take with the Hound Master, and he plays well with other characters who like marking things, such as the Bounty Hunter or Arbalest. The skill also gains a hefty +60% damage bonus against marked enemies, and an additional +15% damage bonus against beasts. They help circumvent the high level of protection that many tougher enemies have and allow you to be constantly inflicting damage even when you need to take turns recovering your party. It cannot be stressed enough how important damage over time effects are in Darkest Dungeon. The Hound Master's default attack is a unique one for several reasons.
