Mostly, a few heroes got rebalanced a lot (looking at you, Flag), but the rest got only mostly minor changes, so there aren't many relevant changes afterall. So, most of the things in the guide are still true. Things changed enough to shake things a bit but no so much that the game is unrecognizable. A LOT of changes had been made to the game in the form of a balancing patch!! when the DLC dropped!!Īs of I started working on this guide again, after going back to Darkest Dungeon since CoM and completing a Bloodmoon difficulty campaign completing all objectives.

It's also worth noting that the Occultist does increased damage against eldritch enemies, which can be very useful here.Hello there!! This guide was written before the new DLC Color of Madness was released. Increasing the PROT value of frontline heroes can be invaluable here, due to high damage enemies and lack of DOT attacks. Stun resistance is useful as many Cove enemies use stun attacks.

Conversely, blight damage is extremely useful due to low resistances and the presence of high PROT enemies with the ability to guard weaker foes. If you have a Houndmaster in your team, Dog Treats can be used on oysters for a dodge buff.īleed is less effective due to fish scales.Skeleton Key is occasionally needed for locked chests.Antivenom may be useful for Brackish Tide Pools.

Holy Water may be useful for Fish Idols.

Bandages are useful for occasional bleed attacks, specifically from Uca Crushers, who have 'arterial pinch'.

Bring a few extra shovels for chests and oysters.

Medicinal herbs are extremely useful to debuff traps and attacks, as well as curios, like Eerie Coral (to heal negative quirks) and the Fish Carcass (which gives you food).

Leave maggots, stingers, and heavily armored enemies for last, as they are the least dangerous. It is recommended to kill the Thrall as soon as possible no matter the circumstances, however. If the party is reaching high stress, target back-row shamans. If the party is low on health, consider finishing Groupers first. Order of target elimination varies depending on the party's health and stress level. The music that plays during combat in the Cove is The Cove Battle.
