Darkest Dungeon: Difference between revisions

* [[Lovecraft Lite]]: If you're a fan of [[Cthulhu Mythos]] stories, it's easy to see the references in this game. To give one example, the questline at the Farmstead is a clear [[Homage]] to ''[[The Colour Out of Space]]''.

* [[Luck-Based Mission]]: Dungeon layouts are randomized, and while they have "Apprentice", "Veteran" and "Champion" designations, there is still a wide variation of difficulties within each, and party and trinket choices add even more variables to the pot.

* [[Man of Kryptonite]]:

** Crusader has a skill called Smite which is extra-effective against undead foes, making him very useful in the ruins, especially against the Necromancer.

* [[Martial Medic]]: Plague Doctor is this, ''full stop''. She's a decent healer who can cure diseases or blights (bleeding too, but only when healing herself) but also has AOE attacks that can stun enemies, blight them, or even shuffle their positions.

* [[Metal Slime]]: To be frank, the first time you fight the Collector isn't going to be the last. The Shambler is almost as bad, but at least you are guaranteed to gain an Ancestral Trinket if you defeat him.

* [[Mysterious Backer]]: The Ancestor starts out this way. As your heroes explore, however, you find out more and more about him, and probably wish he had ''stayed'' "mysterious".

* [[Nasty Party]]: {{spoiler|Emphasis on "nasty". After killing the Countess, the Ancestor drained her blood, bottled it into wine bottles, and at the next gathering, served it to the other nobles. Whether this was out of disgust towards them for their behavior or him viewing them as parasites living off his wealth is hard to say, nor is it known what he hoped to accomplish. Possibly he just assumed her corrupt blood would prove a poison that would give them a slow, agonizing death. But it didn't quite go the way he'd hoped. When his guests drank it, they turned into demonic abominations like the Countess, and all turned on each other. In his horror, he dropped his own glass (which of course, he never intended to drink from) and a single drop flew into his mouth. That one small taste opened his eyes, letting him see the horror that lurked below the Hamlet, a vision that gave him the urge to learn more...}}
