omg I'm 12 hours in and I can't beat act 1

[snuggleform]

Is that normal? T_T

Those 4 locks are pounding me good. I thought I was going to win because I got 3 positive relationships but nope they stunlocked me. I guess I will pile on lots of stun resistance next time and hope for the best. >_>

[Kitsunin]

Don't they just hit 1 person with a stun per round (at most)?

But yeah I think my first win took over 12 hours. After that I won first try on a fresh save haha.

Definitely gotta get 'dat damage so you can take one of them down early. Then defense starts becoming feasible.

I managed to kill 1 or 2 locks but then the rest get a damage buff so the damage doesn't stop >_>

same here
XD
17 hours..

[Ashfelt]

Got pretty lucky on my 2nd mountain battle had everybody with positive relation skill buffs and even better they were for my core skills so it was a constant rotation of positive buffs to help pile on extra damage. Still came down to the wire with the party holding out on low HP but the stacked dots really helped get me over the line.

Put protect on the plague doctor (I assume that who you're using.) Duelist advance with the highway man, absinthe with the grave robber to give dodge/turn priority. Focus one target down at a time. When it is the plague doctor's turn, continuously blind the back line of locks, if you have the upgrade, this can even daze/apply a combo effect, making it easier to down them. Also,, don't sleep on combat items. This is how I won, but I lost my grave robber in the end.

Learning curve applies, keep at it!

[HINA <3]

beat it in 8 hour, just bring man at arm, vestor, any middle/front dps will do. basically man at arm mvp by tank everything. but then 12h in i cant reach act 2 boss lmao. region boss are harder than act 1 boss imo

My first battle on the mountain and I literally couldn't land a hit on a cultist cuz he had people buffing him and themselves with massive shield boosts

[Magni]

Made it on my first run. Took out the missile attack lock first, followed by the one that blocks healing. Made a major mistake in taking down the fourth lock third, rather than the one that blocks melee. That was a slog after, because only the PD and Grave Robber could attack it and slowly blight it to death while the MAA and HWM had to jsut sit there and take it using buffs and shuffles.

And yeah, I went all-out on combat items there. Laudanum, spring water from an oasis, maxing the torch with glimmers of hope etc.

[Nitaire]

I struggled for the first 3 runs or so, then I had the good fortune of getting all the way to the first mountain. At first I thought I was doomed and that this boss is meant to kick my butt, then as the fight went on I realised it was balanced when 1 of them die.

Now I feel happy with my progress where it is now, so I am taking a short break.

Depends, One can really screw you over depending on your cast, All I have to say is "All melee skills are locked."

[GeneralPanther]

How I did it was:

Leper
Highway man
Plague Doctor
Vestal

Ended with: Leper and Plague.

Having your melee skills be locked when most of your remaining characters are melee users is... not fun.

[Moos3]

I had my first run. I won first time. Got 74 candles. Pretty good. I had no positive relationships and 4 negative at the end boss. I was probably lucky and focused the correct boss. And I KNOW I was lucky with the deaths door not low rolling.

[The Living Darkness]

I just beat it, this was my second time to the mountain, and my 3rd run total. team was

Leper
Hellion
Plague Doctor
Grave Robber

I dont know how you guys get positive relations. The first time I made it to the mountain I had a man at Arms rather than the Hellion, but I got the achievement for everyone hating each other. This second time with the Hellion, we destroyed every battle, but I still made it to the mountain with I think 4 negative relations and no positive ones. Still managed to win, everyone was beat up but I got a lucky Resolute, which helped Im sure. None of my characters hit Deaths Door either this run. But yeah the name of the game was raw damage.

My Leper couldnt use tank skills because they nerfed my other characters too much, but thankfully he didnt get blind too often. My Grave Robber who had been using venom darts instead used lunge and pirouette. Hellion just swung her axe with the first skill, forget the name. Lastly Plague Doctor who was my champion damage dealer the whole journey was relegated to support because of the way she was positioned and the skills she was allowed to use due to the bell effects.

Probably just a lucky run seeing they all hated each other..... I mean they even killed a Shambler earlier..... So much for team building exercises
