Luckily, Darkest Dungeon makes that pretty difficult, as their Heroes deviate from your standard fantasy archetypes in pretty significant ways.ĭon’t fret though, this guide keeps that in mind. As a game that involves taking small groups of heroes with different functions and making them greater than the sum of their parts, it’s easy to make assumptions about what you should expect, character wise. If needed, the shieldbreaker can eliminate the stealth of the undead.Now that Red Hook’s devilishly difficult turn based RPG, Darkest Dungeon, is officially released old players and new players alike are clamoring to their computer screens to jump into the madness. The crusader next falls to rank 3 and is able to use his sacred lance, and then the story repeats itself. The shieldbreaker acts before the crusader who is much slower, and attacks while advancing with her spear. As a bonus, the last two have a skill that eliminates stealth.

The grave robber, the houndmaster, the highwayman and the shieldbreaker can also attack the necromancer on all ranks. The necromancer does not have a great resistance to blight (or bleeding), and the plague doctor is able to apply pressure at will.

She's able to attack the boss in the front and in the back. The hellion is an excellent alternative to replace him at rank 1. If you bring him, it is better to let the skeletons live and instead position the crusader in the back, armed with his sacred lance.

He's completely useless in the previous situation, placed at the front against stealthy skeletons. The crusader is a hero that I bring to the ruins very often and he seems perfect against the first iteration of this boss, the Necromancer Apprentice. This is a small guide to help you beat the necromancer apprentice, the necromancer and the necromancer lord in the ruins dungeon.
