How to tell how many Marks of Death you have?

[Neonetik]

Is there a way to see specifically how many marks of death you have at any one time, and from what bosses you got them from? Messages don't help that much since they don't delete themselves or whatever, and I am currently lost as to knowing which boss has marked me for death, and how many have.

Thanks.

i dont think if there is any possible way, but it doesnt really matter, since you only have to kill any boss and the stalker alredy want to kill you

It matters to me, how many times do I need to one shot him.

[Neonetik]

It does matter, because I'm trying to farm him, and it's really difficult, and it took over 100 runs of missions to get him to spawn once and give me a stupid sigil when all I want is a bow, and I have no idea what bosses I already have a mark from because the messages from previous times don't disappear when you kill him. I don't want to go and farm a single boss 70 times and have them not cause a single stalker mark of death because I already have one from them.

Well... you just need to kill the boss once : if you don't get a message after, you already had the deathmark for this one... repeat with the next planets' boss...

There is no way to track that in game so, if you really want to, you would have to keep track of it yourself, by noting which boss you kill/ get the message and which boss he is coming to avenge when he appears...

All you can check is in your profile screen wether you already have a mark on you or not.

On the other hand, having more marks does not increase the chance of his spawn so that's pretty much all you need to know.

I am seriously disappointed that people don't remember that you can check what marks you have in your profile.

Yes... but concerning stalker it just tells that you have at least one mark... it doesn't tell you how many you really have or for which boss they are...

Not like it really matters too much if you have more than 1 anyways, but it would be a nice QoL feature if they did add that.

Just in case. Having been marked more than once without killing him or being killed by him doesn't increase the chance he spawns. Instead, here is the formula that governs the spawn chance:

Spawn Chance = 1.5% + (0.5% × P); P = Number of Cell members with Death Marks.

However, it also doesn't matter what boss got you marked, or how many times did that happen - according to the Forums (wiki is surprisingly vague on that account), you only can have a single mark at a time, regardless of the boss in question, and being marked again while already having a mark changes nothing; as such. killing or being killed by the stalker consumes your death mark from him, so you need to get another one after each 'successful' encounter, wether you kill him or not.
Also, a tip, he can only spawn within the first 5 minutes of any mission that even allows assasins (there are those that don't), so if he didn't appear, you should finish the mission asap to maximize 'farming speed'.

"Only a single mark at a time?" I'm pretty certain you can pile up multiples. I've had multiple stalker encounters in a row, each one ending in either victory or defeat, without fighting another boss inbetween across many many playing sessions.

Believe me, I'd love to be rid of these things as I'm just sick of the guy, but I think I'm back logged so badly I'll never see the end of him unless I had a way to force dump them all in one go.

Personally, I too had many encounters with him - in fact, more than I had other boss fights, which makes me believe my DMs might simply be bugged (I had four run-ins with G3 after getting only one Hek message); yet, WF.Forums say about a single mark, while Wiki simply doesn't give specifics on that.

I've only been able to run out the death marks on the G3 once and that was many patches ago. I may have run into them all of once since then. Them and Zanuka I tend to forget about so it's hard to recall, but the Stalker annoys me since I seem to get him somewhat frequently and he's kind of bothersome to fight.

Although suddenly this all has me thinking: I wonder how these guys will work in Plains of Eidolon? Will he hunt you through the wilderness? That might refresh the fun factor of his encounters. Hunt and be hunted. Possibly escape: rather than being forced into another swift bland beatdown contest.

I also wish he wasn't so powerful in melee that it was too risky to get into melee with him. I would love to get into an epic sword fight with the guy, but that kinda requires me having a chance to get out of stunlock city for a bit. If it boils down to who can stunlock who first then that's just dull, even if I'm the winner.

With PoE - something tells me that, for the sake of simplicity, the Plains would be no-assasin area, whether G3, Stalker, or any other assasin including Covenants' Syndicates. Although it definitely would've been fun to be chased, say, not just by the G3 themselves, but also by a dropship that delivers them, for example.

With the Stalker - well, most of my go-to weapons that I frequently use on Sorties/similar "serious" missions typically can kill him in one to maybe five shots, so he's hardly a problem when I'm running more "difficult" missions; with that said, giving him some more variety in melee to make it more reasonable to attack him this way would've been fun as well, agreed.
