Baer Plays Darkest Dungeon (Pt. 123) - The Sodden Crew

hello everybody and welcome back to darkest dungeon my name is bear something interesting today we have the sodden crew available our second two Prentice level boss for The Cove and I'm totally gonna fight it them the group the sodden crew the lowest of the three of course we have all three levels of those bosses to go through the sudden crew thee sunken and then the drowned I wonder if they thought they'd have to come up with synonyms for underwater often I didn't even know there were three I mean they they don't really necessarily insinuate that their underwater is sodden and well sodden is really the only one okay anyway that's way too much analysis of those words we need to find another level two level 1 or level 0 probably gonna be a level 0 candidates to bring out to be our fourth member because I believe these three will be ok without a very strong fourth in fact I think a plague doctor might be a decent option having those blight skills available could be a difference maker without having to be that high up level not just blast and play grenade already available for this particular plague doctor beast hater and steady yeah I think it's gonna be dig be interesting name for a plague doctor but Digby I think is gonna be our fourth I like that I like that that is a battle cry for Digby let's make sure these guys can't be upgraded any more than any of these fields it looks like our men-at-arms actually could have stan stood in for an upgrade a while ago probably should have been aware that we guild as well definitely want to get these up to level 3 check out the same for everybody else in here I'm occult I'm pretty sure is gonna be good to go might as well unlock all these skills for our plague doctor we still got enough money to be doing these things and then that ought to do it we should look to the sanitarium as well because I believe we have a couple of folks that have need of removing some disease get rid of hemophilia on for Roy because it's pretty terrible check in on everybody see looks like actually yeah we might be a little bit better off than I anticipated rabies questionable of whether or not to remove that it is not that difficult to kind of work around that disease but I think I'd prefer just not to have it there's all that as far as removing negative quirks we definitely want to take advantage of that now that we're bringing out some lower level people so let's see what is really looking terrible for all these folks calm has always been bad I kind of want to get rid of that one off-guard is pretty nasty as well luckily Carnot's doing quite well bad gambler resolution tuckered out could be a bad one ruminator is always kinda iffy bloodthirsty is not that bad let's go with oh yeah you know okay let's let's go ahead and get rid of calm this one's been around for quite some time and I've wanted to get rid of it for a while now robust is good I don't know if I want to lock it in though so probably not it's got a croc again no no no no sorry somebody's got something else a little bit worse than that right now they've got off guard was the other one yet frezzle rustle could be buffed up a little bit here let's get rid of that and apparently we cannot lock these in oh that's right we can only have three locked in okay so add that will do it for us and now I'm starting to get a little concerned about how much money I'm spending so let's tone it down just a touch and probably call that good actually and let's form up this party Digby will be in position 3 will have Mancha and the fourth for good in the second and occult in the first okay now for the trinkets last but certainly not least and often forgotten unfortunately the trinkets I've been looking at the cleansing crystal a lot more actually recently these resistances are really good and for a character like McCall to who isn't gonna be really using any sort of blight or bleed skills I think it's worth it so I'm gonna equip that to him and I'm also gonna give him a small damage upgrade legendary bracer actually seems like it's a good option there I'll sacrifice his speed because I've also buffed up his defense a little bit elsewhere now do I want to go DPS occultist what if I gave him a boost to his range crit strike chance what is he using right now he's got this he'll of course the demons pole is kind of ok I could actually move him up to the third spot and give him the stab if I wanted to go DPS with it because the crit mod on that move is actually pretty good too yeah let's say let's consider that it's not a bad option then we'll give a little bit more damage to him perhaps what can we do there this is just straight out by virtue chance boost that is the most ridiculous ancestral trinket oh my god stunning debuff chance is nice I guess we can just give him that give him that damage cauldron right wherever the hell that thing is you have a sacrificial one that's not bad crit chance and damage a lot less stress resistance though so hopefully that doesn't become too much of an issue plague doctor we definitely want to buff herb light skill chance and I know we've got at least a couple of things that will do that for us disease resistance as well which is kind of interesting oh the stun skill chance oh here we go this is much better though the blasphemous file that is really really good for her and then uh yeah me we could do that I'd really like to have the diseased herbs blight skill chance buff back apparently that no longer is a thing that's a bummer all right is there any ancestral that would look really good on her let's find out I know there's the the blight resistance in the form of the moustache cream Dodge Bok range skill accuracy could be nice how about the chance to reduce our party surprise raid is that worth it oh this is it oh my god whoa how long has this been around that's huge 25% health boost whoa ok I completely miss that that's not bad we'll take it oh well happily roll with that emanuelle so we got ramparts shield for the men-at-arms do we have anything specific to him that we really love I'm always forgetting about this stuff Guardian shield yeah he doesn't really have anything so that's usually a legendary focus combo isn't it which is not really a synergy anymore but it is still a good thing it does reduce speed a lot though let's maybe instead of going for the straight damage here we could go for tough ring legendary combo let's kind of alright actually maybe there's a an ancestral that we want for him range skill bonus isn't really that good bleed resistance is nice I think I'm gonna use the ancestors lantern it seems a little silly to go along with the scouting chance to actually yeah this this is gonna help us out a lot because it's gonna make it the process of getting to the boss a lot easier which by itself might be worth it so I'm gonna roll with this it's a slightly abnormal trinket composition but I think it'll work I think this will do quite nicely in fact we're gonna bring extra food this time I'm gonna bring a full stack of torches as well just like to be prepared bring those herbs out yeah one anti-venom will do and then a few torches and a holy water pretty standard preparation there actually eyes have become a nuisance along the old road and so I undertook to receive my most curious deliveries by way of marine shipments a sheltered jetty was accessible by a narrow stone stair off the back of the manor and a discreet system of pulleys could hoist even the heaviest prizes up the rock face from a securely tied dinghy below I am never getting it tired of the riding in this game or Devils chained and drowning for eternity it's so good it's so damn good it's so descriptive but you got to give it credit for that it does such a great job of describing what they're talking about even though it doesn't really make a huge difference I mean like I've really paid attention to the storyline of this game since the beginning but it is really cool to see that sort of dedication and skill being applied to that portion of this game which I'm sure is quite important to a few people to know shot there all right do we have stuns we do indeed we got a few actually let's uh I believe the holy Lance is still equipped on our Crusader as well so that might give us the opportunity to deal the damage we need to do to the cutthroat there we go and there's one stun on the Blood letter as well so this is a very good start let's see if we can get it again why not give it a shot right yes and the knock back holy [ __ ] that's fantastic alright this composition is doing quite well in the early goings here this is not a there's not an easy fight to win either we didn't get the surprise we didn't really get any sort of huge advantage right out of the start so with how well this is working it gives me a lot of confidence moving forward I think we just goes first straight damage now that we've managed to do enough up to this point there we go inordinate sanguine a should be considered a virtue oh let's see a live oysters what could I possibly use on this probably nothing oh good Oh bleed okay so probably be a bandage that would make sense I want to try to avoid combat here simply because again just like the the more straightforward of a route we can take to the boss the better clear this so it's let's go ahead and use the torch and then we'll take the Onyx and who's got the trap detection chance nobody has that trinket equipped right I don't think they do we just need to take a gamble on it there we go that might be like the first trap I've disarmed in The Cove so far a terrible huck with that in this area I wonder if that's by design too perhaps the traps in the cove are a little bit more precarious than those found in other realms see mechanical hazards and the darkness as well in fact yeah I should probably just stay alert on that front of ourselves well lit and the surprise attack okay seeing this early combo 2 with the plague or nading the abyssal artillery obviously with the eltridge as well it's gonna happen helped us out quite a bit but it is big damage right out of the gate from those - those accusations sure and speaking of big damage I mean the entire team is pretty capable of doling out the harshness if you will a koltes DPS of course the blight coming from our plague doctor oh he's guarding a target all right he's got extra protection from that - I got it gotta remember that oh yeah he's gonna be tough to take down my not to go for a blight on him actually that might be better yeah that's gonna be good I am we can in curse we've got all sorts of status ailments to it to apply as well can only be a good thing is that a powerful bleed it's not really that bad I can probably let that go won't be that big of a deal all right one more landed blow and that should do it especially this stacks that's gonna be more than enough then I guess just yeah might as well always worth it to try for the chance of getting that crit at the end a little bit more stress healing involved in the matter alright we are amply prepared this is looking really good a couple of empty rooms here some hallway battles I won't be too bad oh my god and the dead fish what a beautiful life we live all those things we apparently already had well stacking up very nicely alright thrall goes first every time no matter what I've seen what this thing's capable of and I do not wish for it to have the chance to enact its Horrors upon us a stun might be nice it does have a decent stun resistance though that's alright now all we gotta do is hit it with the smite I think we'll be okay noxious blast is really not even that good so let's go with embolden Ling vapors maybe boost the speed too we actually give the Crusader a chance to act before the thrall maybe now you got it out first then this is a really strong enemy I mean every time I fought it it seems like my fears are well-placed very capable of ruining our lives I really like that it doesn't have a corpse to it's just you know the little things that provide a consistency that's to be believed I might be able to kill him but the crush is probably not gonna do it retribution yeah sure but not use this that much anymore it's still pretty good but it's just normally I'd prefer a stun or a crush attack really alright if I land this in deals - I was gonna say it needs deal - to be able to get the kill unfortunately so there's gonna have to be a zealous accusation or something else that comes through which is fine especially when it does back then I am absolutely fine with let's go ahead and bandage up anyway we already got like half a dungeon taking care of him who's gonna eat all this food to feel better about myself because that's how I normally handle my life and away we go all these cookies confessions about Mike helping habits aside let's somehow sneak into the commentary alright open the bag up we're doing okay as far as loot goes certainly not the most profitable run to maggots in the thrall huh alright I mean that's this is definitely not this sort of cow but we're expecting here and they all have gotten they've only got five health so this should not be a problem retribution is gonna deal with zero to one Wow now what we just drink kill him right out of the gate and then it's no this accusation will do the job just fine actually if we just do this there we go there it is and then the zealous is even better BAM baby now the brine does carry over between fights right I've seen these D buffs they're like four twelve rounds or so which I don't know if that time ticks away when you're not in combat I think it does I want to say it does and look at this the crits from the occultist - I'm really glad we went that route with him boom and he should light to death before the Crusader even ah well hey there you go again try for that crit just in case it's going really well - Reese mount really really well only two more rooms we got a campfire still in the back pocket so I'm gonna be even better prepared than we are now don't even need to use torches you have plenty of light coming from the campfire up ahead just one more hallway battle and we should be okay to groupers and a maggot again just very interesting combinations of enemies thus far that's gonna take him down to two turns so I obviously don't have to give any resources to that kill and damage there oh my goodness I'd like to yeah we'll go ahead and finish my up the abyssal artillery went up I'm often reluctant to use that move if it does not provide me with the multiple targets which is probably unnecessary I mean especially against an eldritch enemy at the guy to consider it a talk to your option we have found so many goddamn crests already it's ridiculous did you see we have like 850 of them now I really hope but at some point in the near future we get to use those for something but at the moment they're just sort of sitting there all right we are looking really good right now it's pretty much just gonna be all buffs for this campfire I'm gonna go for the damage buff on our crusader as well probably gonna go for tactics although I could do a double encouraged on our occultist and that might be better all those abandon help it's actually not that bad either what if I need abandon hope and tactics that's probably better it gives everybody else a little bit more stress and it takes care of the occultist for the most part let's go for that that's pretty good really good buffs for the man-at-arms and Crusader everybody else is a little bit better prepared defensively is blazing star is born yeah I feel good about that I'm really glad we got this scout going into this hallway too that is certainly helpful alright I want to say anti-venom is gonna be good for this so I'm gonna try it nice awesome okay that's just healing though which is fine - well done - disarmed traps this rod I'm a freaking wizard all right here we go sudden crew I'm ready oh cool his orders and the crew oh my god I did not expect this wow that is awesome all right he called in all hands on deck so all that really did was bring a new crew member in right he's got 50% protection he will not move no matter what basically can't really be bled but these guys are vulnerable to blight that is so badass God the art direction for these bosses a plus man it is is really looking good and I imagine him plotting some D buffs is not a bad option they're vulnerable to stun too so I guess I should try for that I'm gonna go directly for the sodden crew until I'm convinced that it's a bad idea that was not at all effective they're killing for with that so far it's not really that threatening although it looks like they take three turns per round oh it might just be a heavy stress focus what is that whoa oh my god that is outstanding all right he can't he can't even be shifted by a party movement okay and they're starting to recover oh they're recovering health - hmm all right the weakening curse is actually doing wonders for me and the crits from our occultist have been ridiculous I might have to go up missile artillery with him though how do I stop this do I need to kill him I think I do and he can't move does he do anything oh he does nice alright that's cleared out that worked pretty well absolutely wanna stack this blind if I can yeah these threats attacks are starting to freak me out a little bit I'm worried about this now good okay we got that that it's a lot of DPS per round since that triggers every time that they show up in the order of things let's keeps let's keep going for these studs now that we are making some decent progress damage wise oh the stun does not work apparently at least not for that let's kill this thing before it even has a chance to really do anything to me or at least try to we can curse again yeah I mean they keep cycling through it so I have to keep it stacked because they're all they're always having turns and here comes the goddamn anchor attack again okay and that debuff oh okay all these is immobilization I thought it was a little bit more than that keep this up that's all the plate doctors gonna be doing basically this entire time and that look at this the boost oh my god they're actually boosting their resistances these buffs just keep coming whoa okay uh how's this Ellis accusation look pretty good here doesn't it yeah okay I believe he's weakened when he's anchoring somebody down that seems to be the case I'm gonna go retribution here two perhaps three or four damage it will kill him if it lands there we go alright that's not bad hopefully target the men-at-arms for a couple of rounds here at least stun them up again or litem I should say that's been helping us out quite a bit don't really need to heal unfortunately it looks like a stress healer might have been a better option for this fight than a proper a cultist heal luckily he's got DPS activated too so we're taking advantage of that try this again their resistance is a lot higher now but still probably worth a shot that blight starting to tick away I might just have to go straight damage now it was that just called mutiny oh is that a siren style attack maybe I wouldn't be surprised that would be pretty great alright 13 damage from the abyssal artillery taking down only 10 damage left what does that do oh that looked horrifying I don't think I don't think it actually did anything to us though light sticking through he's going for the anchor attack again this time on the Crusader so it's not nearly as bad it looks like they heal and buff when they've got somebody anchored down I think that might be the case yeah it seems to be okay that makes sense Oh yikes alright luckily the riposte was still active there but they are gaining health little by little let's see can I kill yes nice wow that was awesome that was a great fight I love that very happy with that one the sodding crew looking forward to the next iterations of those sell them back all that useless junk getting a few experience points for the team here as well unfortunately that means mon-sol is level 3 now maybe bringing him back out anytime soon but I don't believe I'm gonna need to now that I've got through those first interleague bosses who will know the tragic extent of my failings oh that was fun thanks for watching this episode darkest dungeon everybody leave a like if you did enjoy it appreciate that a lot I'll see you next time
