Yah, she's kind of a luck boss. If you get unlucky, you have a hella time. If not, you dodge and resist everything

[Bauglir]

Well, there is a bit of optimization you can do for the Siren. Basically, bring a couple of Lepers and fill your back ranks with support (Occultist + Houndmaster or Plague Doctor, I'd recommend). Generally, your support won't be able to hurt your party too much if they get taken, and the Lepers can't target your back rank person (and have lots of self-buff moves filling up the slots they can choose attacks from). Meanwhile you've got at least 1 front-rank Leper to tank.

I don't think it's really necessary, though.

I watched the replay I did on Twitch and I'm pretty sure that the charm is a debuff. With the holy water giving them 87% resist, the fight was over before I entered the room.

....you...
Are suggesting....
DD should go freemium...

Dude. No. Just. No.

  I fully agree, but as a thought experiment I found it wicked to play with.

The interface in DD it fitting for a tablet game, so the producer just needs a way to cover the expenses ... but yes, - let us not go there.

The hamlet events update is out. Everything Burns.

TOWN EVENTS – bonus recruits, extra supplies, facility closures, and more!  Each event is presented with unique key art and commentary by the Narrator (Wayne June), and many are supported with additional in-game art.  Be warned, The Hamlet is not as safe as it once was… (Note: you can adjust the frequence of Town Events in the OPTIONS menu, although they are mandatory for NG+)

So I finished a champion activate quest in the Cove and got a 33% XP bonus for the next quest and 15% damage bonus if that quest happens to be in the Cove. Just in time to help with the Drowned Crew.

Presumably, the medicine quest reduces the prices of treatment in the sanitarium, the holy relics quest reduces the prices in the abbey, the Cove relics quest for the nomad wagon, and so on.

So there's a slightly better reason to do those activate/fetch quests.

Added a Default Party Order Button, find it on your Map in a dungeon!

Yay.

Trap disarm tooltip in tray now takes difficulty into account to accurately display chance.

If only that could quell the infinite rage of watching my characters fail a 110% trap disarm chance.

The talk about microtransactions reminded me of an idea I had for how to do a resurrection system in Darkest Dungeon in a way that doesn't ruin the atmosphere. Without having to pay for it with real money.

Here's the idea: have the last building to unlock be the Scholar's Garret. She can bring the dead back to life... at a terrible cost.
Also a monetary cost. You should probably worry about that first.

Basically, you can resurrect any of your adventurers for a variable amount of gold (depending on their level) and with a sacrifice of another equal-level adventurer. The sacrificed adventurer cannot be brought back to life, so choose wisely.

The upgrade tracks would be 'Arcane Knowledge' (Reduces gold cost of resurrection) and 'Negotiation Skills' (Allows you to use adventurers of lower level).

It could also cost more depending on how old the adventurer it is; the longer they've been dead the harder it is to drag them back.

Spoiler: Well now (click to show/hide)

Wow. Wonder how rare of an event that is.

Nice estate name, Blaze.

[nenjin]

That should totally come with some kind of messed up Quirk.

[Sirus]

It seems to have brought him back with nearly maxed-out stress, but I agree. Life in this world is horrible and traumatic and people who come back from the dead should never be the same again (at least not without some very expensive therapy).

[nenjin]

Let's spoiler that just in case someone is sensitive.

But yeah, like, they should be loathed and feared by at least the Vestal / Crusader, and just as likely, freaking everyone. Like the only character that should not have a problem with them is the Abomination.

[Boltgun]

Nah, they weren't dead, and they got better.

[SalmonGod]

Picked this up on the summer sale.  Quickly became horribly addicted.  Everything about this game is solid.  But I'm especially impressed with how well balanced it is.  The difficulty and constant suspense are perfect.

[Neonivek]

In all fairness coming back to life in Darkest Dungeon isn't so much a blessing as it is a curse for the people involved.

It would be like starving to death only to be revived to starve to death once more
