Ghoul Mother Prep

[Gandrake]

Alright, so, I have the trinket recovery mission available, and the question is, what should I be expecting when I enter the fight?

There aren't exactly a lot of resources for this mod yet, and considering the difficulty spike overall, I'm guessing this will be a lot harder than the Shrieker. It wouldn't do to enter the mission to recovery lost trinkets, only to lose more along with some heroes because I didn't have the right set up. The mod is frustrating enough as it is with the setbacks, no point in suffering more of them just to avoid spoilers.

All I've been able to gather so far is that the Ghoul Mother will flee after a few turns and leaves the trinkets behind. Preferably, though, I can manage to kill it to get the mission rewards.

So what's a good Ghoul Mother killing team?

Just ignore everything and keep cycle point-blank. PD buff and use their heal to keep your heroes alive.

You will also receive the mission rewards if she flees, well, at least I did.

Flagellant, Highwayman, houndmaster occultist. Houndmaster and Occ mark and spark and heal, the flag and Highwayman just bleed spam, Ghoul Mother's 3 actions/turn means if you stack a heavy bleed (and you will, with an occ's mark she'll have no dodge and will rapidly loose all bleed resist to the flagellant and highwayman's debuff)

Or drop the hound and Occ for 2 highwaymen and a vestal. Ghoul Mother fights a lot like a cross between the shrieker (She'll run after a number of turns) with the toughness of the Fanatic

That's what I've heard but it sounds strange. What's the reward for killing it? Surely it will be changed later to where the ghoul trinkets will only be available if you kill it, but who knows.

I know this is an old post but it's the most recent i saw discussing it. 2 plague dr's with blight/bleed abilities with a highwayman and flagellant worked for me.

When I killed her I got an orange relic that I didn't have and 17 daric, right after killing her. Then I got her special trinket and 8 I had lost at the end of the mission.

So I think you get an rare relic and several thousand in gold for killing her before she runs.

I also got the stranger event where they resurrect a dead character, but that was probably unrelated.
