Cove is my favorite area to play in. Cheap quirk removal for early game when gold is at a premium.
I agree. It appears to be the most frequent place for quirk removals.
What curios can do that besides the coral and what is the most efficient way of going about it?
@Deconstruct/Recreate I pulled the exact names from the wiki with locations you can find them.
Eldritch Alter, Holy Water, in all dungeons
Pile of Scrolls, Torch, in the Warrens (be careful, do not burn books, these light up yellow when not used)
Sacrificial stone, PURE RNG, 25% chance to purge negative, but 50% chance for 50 stress ( not worth it in my eyes), in the Warrens as well.
Eerie Coral, Medicinal Herb, in the cove (most bountiful as well).
The most efficient way, is to probably do medium dungeons in the cove, and bring in 6 medicinal herbs. I think the cove is easier than the warrens, and this allows you two chances to get coral or Eldritch Altars.
Plague Doctor makes the Cove easy mode thanks to battlefield medicine.
Really nice for those 10 bleed DOTs. Dang Uca Savages...
I do recommended taking in stress heals into the cove since it is more stress damage oriented over hp damage. However, I do take in a team without stress heals to show how it can be done.
Thank you for watching!
massssiiiiivvveeeee thank you dude!
I always overlooked darkest dungeon in the past but finally took the plunge and bought it.
its a godsend having all your helpful videos around dude.
your voice is nice and steady informative whilst being understandable A+
ive been mostly playing with mods (I mean I own the pc version how could I not?)
but you're hero review series was a GODSEND for being able to understand the original classes functions.
I kept putting plague doc and graverobber on the backburner until I watched your overviews of them hahaha.
anyway great job on ALL your videos im love these dungeon based ones its much more fun than just looking at a wiki XD.
+subbed
Awesome! I am glad I could help and that the videos are entertaining and useful. Good luck with the game!
If you end up liking Darkest Dungeon and beat it: try Iratus: Lord of the Dead.
It's a reverse darkest dungeon where you play a necromancer released from his tomb breaking out towards the surface. He's also voiced by the guy that was Caleb in the Blood games
One major thing that helped me in champion cove was using a MAA in slot 1/2 that blocks the other front slot. It basically removes the huge source of HP damage from those Sword Fish enemies which was always my biggest problem.
The sword piranhas are super annoying and having someone with some protection and hp can certainly cushion the blow.
Reads title. Sees occultist/plague doctor in the back.
Lol, yep. Pretty much
Yeah it's a pretty basic advice but it works well!
always listen to ocean man while playing the cove
Thanks for all those great pointers! The Ruins and Cove are my favorites areas. I haven't been on a dungeon run for a few days. Time to gear up and head out!
You are welcome and I agree those two are my favorite dungeons as well.
Kinda strage guide - you dont mention some important things. Like -"bring PD with heal or alot of bandages, cuz alot of bleed, especially crabs". Or "Then you pick stress heal - try to take jester, cuz ghast will focus stress on him, instead of smashing horror on you entire team".
Haven’t done champion level at all yet, thanks for the tips
You are welcome. Once you get there it can be pretty annoying at first. I have a generic tip video coming out soon for champion level areas.
I NEVER form a group without a dedicated stress healer.... just not an option for me :). Glad you posted this so people can see how fast stress can wreck a party.
It's certainly dangerous especially in the cove where stress damage is high and frequent.
Eh stress healer isn't really needed except in long missions, and not necessarily even in those if you have high damage, dead enemies don't cause stress. If you do want to bring a stress healer though, Crusader is the one to take, as unlike jester, he can actually do decent damage also, and stun and get people off deaths door, instead of being liability that you need to babysit like the Jester is. Houndmaster is much better at rank 2 to stun people than as stress healer.
One party comp that I personally like for the cove is PD - OCC - LEPER - FLAG support.
Plague doctor for the blight and bleed removal, occ and leper for nuking and flag to heal and remove stress.
I always use his transfer ability twice before moving stress, that way he marks himself drawing the attacks of the front line and gets a massive -80% stress. Combine that with an aria box and he can remove 14 points for only one point of stress inflicted on him.
The flagellant support is an interesting option I really haven't gotten into yet. I'm glad it works for you!
I think the biggest problem with this group is that they don't play off each other well. Usually, in my experience, I've had the most success with teams that consist of 2 duos that work well with each other. For instance, my go to team for most content is PD/BH/HM/Flag. PDF is the best duo IMO, and BH/HM are great together.
Actually watching the video now, I'm SO glad you showed off a battle with my favorite enemy comp in the game, Thrall/Ghoul/Ghast (or as I refer to them, "La Triada del Terror"); not the WORST thing you can face but you showed the danger they present very nicely, without even having to take any guff from the Thrall
Yeah they can be very dangerous, and they certainly put some pain onto me!
Small additional note: WTH was up with the preponderance of Thralls you drew here? The game really didn't want you to get fancy with your tactics on this quest, since Thralls are an immediate priority whenever they show up and will make you throw said tactics out the window. That sucks...
Have to take what the Dungeon gives you :(. This was an okay dungeon overall.
Thanks
The first fight was nasty, the last guy was puking his guts out due to illness while the party gets first class medical treatment.
Also my favorite area, both for personal (my family is mostly composed of coastal people) and difficulty (I find it to be the easiest place to grind/farm) reasons.
The cove and the ruins are certainly the easiest and I think the cove is easy because it has relatively low hp damage. One jester can practically ruin the cove.
Cove is super hard on torchless runs though, those spearfish crits like crazy, meanwhile I find weald and warrens pretty easy on torchless
@@HiDdeNSQuiDZGaming Ruin the cove. I see what you did there. Happy gaming and thank you for your great content. :)
important note cove can be used as makeshift disease heal, its tricky, but rewarding
The cove does have a couple of really nice character management curios. Coral for quirks, and I believe you are talking about the tide pools for the disease heals.
Another good one squidz, I personally think the stress mechanics are ill conceived very easy to get and hard to get rid of so knowing how to manage it is pretty important to success in this game.
Stress is the biggest problem once you hit the champion level. Once creatures can start doing 20 to 25 damage per stress skill it fills up that 100 quickly.
Very useful. I have never bought laudanum in my life but now I can see how it is useful here. The Grave Robber is also really good as her pick to the face is armour piercing, and she has very high crit chances, making for effective stress reduction. Plus she has blight which is great in the Cove so she synergises well with the Abom, Plague Doctor or even second GR.
I only ever take Laudanums into the cove, because of ghouls and the squiffy ghasts, and if I do not have a designated stress healer. They are fairly cheap at 100 gold each I believe. Also, Grave robbers are good choices for the reasons you listed and they also bring along another shovel.
@@HiDdeNSQuiDZGaming Oh I never thought about the shovel, you're right. I never take enough of those. And I got wrecked by a guarded squiffy ghast before so I definitely see your thinking on this.
@@skyisclear8461 Guarded stress damage dealers can be nightmares... especially when you forget a stun or armor piercing abilities :(
U have to use them mid game there’s no such thing as no mad man or ghouls at lvl 3 dungeons
The champion unique enemy in the cove is the only one which literally makes me laugh when I see it. Another one to the slaughter.
The champion unit is so bad. Definitely the worst among all of them.
Many thanks for your tips. 🙏🏻
Of course and thank you for watching!
Would it be possible to get a ruins tactics? I had looked up a comp guide
Crusader

Crusader
Plague doctor
The only issue is that I didnt have a plague doctor and instead put a grave robber in their place. I was on a lv 1 long dungeon so I decided to go a bit above and spent 3,000 gold in supplies and took in 3 lv 2 and a lv3 however after getting jumped by the thing from the stars I began taking too much stress and damage which lead to them all getting afflicted. So I took a camp but it didnt fix anything at all. And then I was banking on getting an empty room to camp again to hopefully clear up a bit more stress however I got skeletons instead, I then kept missing attacks and getting critted which lead to me slowly killing off the first 2 skeletons. Having inflicted nothing to the 2 arbalests as then reinforcements arriving, quickly killing my graverobber and causing a crusader to get a heart attack. I retreated immediatley as they all took heart attacks. 2 being put and deaths door and the position 1 crusader dying from 2 heart attacks one after another. Horrible dungeon run needless to say.
I do have a video. Here you go: ruclips.net/video/C8_2IJ5FFrM/видео.html
It is a little odd and stress damage is the biggest enemy of that party. A plague doctor is always great since they can melt bone royalty or at least stun them for a turn. This party is a little more unconventional but the bounty hunter can do great damage and pull bone royalty to knife in the dark range.
ENEMY:
- Stress > HP DMG
- Stealth
