The Rotting King is a Darkest (Lv 6.) Bossfight that takes place in the Ruins (Was formerly in the Darkest Dungeon, but this caused game-overs for certain players in Stygian/Bloodmoon). The fight is designed to be a bit difficult, and retreating from it will require sacrificing one of your heroes. This mod was rushed a bit to release, so the balance is not fine tuned currently.

Activating the Rotting King's Quest
Reaching week 40 and having 4 heroes that are Lv. 6 will trigger a town event to occur. This fight is a one-room boss fight, so provisions and shovels are disabled.

Hey, how did you make it so the Rotting trinkets had that sparkle around their edges?

When the boss killed both his cultists he just kept passing turns. Is that normal? I feel like I've missed something here.

Ok so, this boss is literally a pushover if you have an ability that summons an ally enemy.
For example, any summoning trinket from Spider Nests 2 (Monster Mod) or Magician Class mod's crystal summoning ability.
So, yeah, you can consistently win this fight without taking a single hit of damage

I only got 2 trinkets out of the three :(

can you turn this boss into a playable class ? not like a leper re-skin , cause the boss look so cool.

I really enjoyed the fight xd
Would prefer honestly to see his mini-version as wandering boss somewhere.
Visual is just OUTSTANDING! Cant be used just one time xd
I barely killed him with mage, cainheirst knight, bogatyr and veiled.

He is simple, but strong boss. So much HP and you literally cant stun him. Even healing doesnt help, cause he is overdamaging. So, better to pray for working deaths doors and his rare misses.
Im really not sure if its possible to make him better. Maybe its fair that you cant stun him, but he is vulnerable to the blood at least?
For now I can say it was great fight. Ill try to investigate it more!


+karma for russian translation. Much better to play.

really cool idea for a boss but with 2 crusaders, a jester and a vestal (thought he would be a front line because leper) i found it a bit to easy to just brute force. i didn't know about the mechanic at first and only when he killed both cultists did i realise what was going to happen, still managed to get out of there with all 4 alive though. although i did get a decent few lucky crits.
