Ghost in the well

[Salty_McSweet]

Does anyone have any clue how to deal with the stupid ghost in the well?

I was finally having a really great run getting good items and decent cards that all had good synergy and suddenly when I looked down the well in one of the events in act 2 it all came to a frustrating halt. A stupid ghost that has permanent insubstantial that you can't remove. She doesn't even hurt you. She doesn't have to because you have a death mark timer that kills you in a few turns.

This sort of moronic event is not in any way fun since you can't try anything different and there's no way to learn from it. Other than I suppose learning not to look down wells. Those types of events are basically wasted nodes on the map since even if you do learn not to look down the well, you simply return to the map with nothing good or bad happening, just a wasted step.

Remove that crap from the game please.

You can remove the ghost's buff, the card is added in your deck and you should be good if you don't have any big card spawns happening. You can often contact the team on our Discord channel and we'll gladly help you out if you're stuck!

So it's a random chance based on how deep in the deck the RNG puts the card. If you're lucky, the card will be high enough in the deck to come out before your timer counts down to zero. Still most likely you'll die. I've run into her twice and died both times without seeing any card. At least now I'll remember to avoid the well after getting burned twice. Still a wasted node on the map since the chance seems low to survive and I'm not gonna risk bringing my run to a screeching halt ever again.

Is there some way to slow down the timer to try to get a chance to survive?

How thick is your deck? You should be trying to keep your deck lean.
Also, it is possible to kill the ghost with chip damage, if you're playing a build that can do enough of it. I've done it.
