Explaination of Gameover Condition

[Z_Paragon]

If I have two graveyard spots left and all that's left is to face the Heart of Darkess, will the two mandatory deaths instantly cause a gameover or will the fight continue on?

How is the gameover screen by the way? I've tried looking for videos of it to no avail.

You will lose the game.

It lists just facts and tells you why the games over, no fancy stuff, just text.

That's horrible, thank you Sir Francis. Rip my game then, I have 3 spots left and am on week 59.

[Sir Francis]

with three spots you can do it, i thought you said 2 before...
also if you go in with two heroes there are no instant deaths, virtue chance cheese could work

There is a tutorial in youtube to kill the last boss without triggering the killing blow attack

@fede1989 thanks for the heads up, my last run against the ancestor put me with two slots in my graveyard left and I am on the final week. This is my seventh attempt at Stygian, and third time where I am losing on the final boss.

Wait, the game ends if you lose too many mercs? Or am I misunderstanding something?

In the hard game modes, Stygian and Blood Moon, there are 2 loss conditions: You will lose if 12 (16 For Bloodmoon) heroes die or 86 (100 For Bloodmoon) weeks pass.

It's tough. Fights in early game drag on a little longer than you're used to, and champion dungeons become really dangerous.

I thought I had a good enough handle on the regular game before attempting stygian and still messed up 2 attempts.
