I Lost Because I Was Too Overconfident...

He did not remind himself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer, and paid the price

I remember when I was playing this game, I was informed of a strategy others have called the "US military" strat, where you hire 4 random ass new heroes, any kind, doesn't matter, send them into a suicide run into a dungeon to grab as much loot and gold as they can, and go until you fear a party wipe, then pull them out, take the loot for yourself, and release them from service to deal with their physical and mental damage on their own. Edit: I'm also aware this doesn't work on the hardest difficulty before someone points it out, because you're under both a time and death limit.

I am actually amazed he managed to keep Reynauld (Ragnvaldr) and Dismas alive that long.

"Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow, and insidious killer."

he's not overconfident, just too impatient - watching him walk into every trap and never use anti-ambush skills in camp was killing me the whole video

Connor did me so dirty in this game, man I was set up to fail from the start

You know the game is hype when the art for the thumbnail is the same as the fear and hunger vids

There are 2 tips that helped me conquer this game: 1. Stress heal is king. 2. Stress damaging enemies must die first. There's a lot more stuff but that should give anyone a big boost.

Reynauld getting virtuous on his first stress was almost poetic in a way

The fact he killed wilbur all three times and no one warned him about it its insane

Literally ending on a choke. As expected as the one and only ChokeDawgVeryAbusive

The thing about Darkest Dungeon is that it really heavily relies on metaknowledge. Knowing what effects come out of which interactable will significantly reduce the chance of getting shitty effects. Doubly so if you know using which items will guarantee good results. Additionally, knowing how to hedge bets in battle is also integral just like X-com-like games. Well, what Connor feels is in line with what most players feel when they get into this game blind. If he kept up, I'm sure he'll be good at this game.

First funger now darkest? Hell yeah

Connor not learning how to interact with events is so on brand

seeing him put jester in first rank raised my blood pressure immensely

Reynauld normally: unstressed Raynauld when he's stressed: simply focuses What a chad

So glad he finally played this masterpiece of a game

6:30-6:45 These 15 seconds perfectly describe the feeling of playing this game. 3 months ago, I was able to train 2 full teams of lvl 6 champions and I STILL never attempted the darkest dungeon, cuz I was too afraid of losing my team(s) and starting all over 😭

Ironmouse having her resolve tested and becoming POWERFUL is a canon event

Connor : "how do you keep getting this many illnesses ?" Also Connor : checks every rotten corpses
