Can we talk about how useless his heads are to him, like he's at 8 HP with blight as he watches his Man-at-Arms protects the Highwayman and the vestal just healing herself for fun XD
Thats true. Ive seen fish have better strategy then those guys. But to be fair. They are kind of mindless apparitions that he gives life. And just swing. So i would say they are about as smart as Frankenstein
@@nicholaswilson5243 Sure, from a lore standpoint i totally agree with you. Their supposed to be just echoes of their former selves, as the heads act typically how they would act when they were still Heroes (Guarding and healing are the "main" skills of the Vestal and the Man-at-Arms) but in a dumb and out of place way like they've lost their intelligence. HOWEVER from my previous campaigns they are usually a true pain in the *ss, like guarding the Collector, buffing the Highwayman and then getting crit from him like it's nothing in one Fricking turn. I mean, it is Darkest Dungeon after all that's why we love to hate it
No its not. The Collector has a 3%(easy) 4%(Medium) 5%(large) chance to spawn depending on difficulty, if you have 79% (13 rows) of full inventory. The Ancestor even warns you about it. "A full pack, often attracts unwanted attention.) - you reached the 79%.
@@citrom509 That's still pretty wildly random. And the inventory system is the other thing I actually genuinely don't like about this game so that doesn't really help my thoughts of the Collector. I've had him show up as early as the FIRST bloody Ruins mission in the game. You know, when there's really no real way to prepare for it. Honestly, you go in that early, and the whole world immediately just blows up in your face... I think anyone who's had that experience with this guy would be singing a different tune. At least for the Thing From the Stars and the Fanatic, you can anticipate them coming and prepare accordingly. The Collector by comparison just shows up whenever he darn well feels like, and once he does he never bloody leaves you alone. I'm sorry, but the only thing keeping me from naming the Collector as the worst "mini-boss" in Darkest Dungeon is the Fanatic basically being a glorified Hag 2.0.
he's in the top 5 worst tbh. Thing from the stars, fanatic, hag and then this guy and maybe the swine or prophet since they're a very specific kind of gimmick.
He’s a party check. If your party is good, you can just steamroll Collector. He’s free money since he always drops a head or a Tetrahedron if you have all 3.
There was this time I was in the Cove, almost finishing the quest when he appeared, I was worry since it was a Champion mission... Then my Helion crits for 54 and kills him in turn 2
I give you some very good advice when facing the collector: when you have won the battle and only one hit is left to kill him, turn off the torch completely to improve the loot received, this increases the chances that he will give you one of the trinkets specials of the heads, in addition to the stone that is worth a lot of gold
Then *miss* *miss* *dodge* *collect call* *he heals back to midlife* and now you have 4 wounded heroes fighting in complete darkness. Also next turn he crit a life steal and goes back to full life. Life is fun.
@@amauryleblanc7979 you actually can snuff out the torch AFTER the killing blow and before the loot is shown. You still get the extra loot, but your worst nightmare scenario is now less of a nightmare scenario because you have light still on
Thats a really bad advise, the way collector conditional spawn chance works makes this useless, he Is intended to stalk you when you already have a full inventory, and more than half of the Time you have to drop some gold/gem or supply in order to keep the trapezoid, besides head trinkests are 100% guaranteed on secret rooms if you dont have then, so no need to get lucky there
His weak stun and move resist sometimes make the fight either good and fair if your team is slow or unbelievably quick and merciless if your team is fast. All about the speed roll.
Man-at-Arms: What are you doing? Bounty Hunter: Calling an ambulance. The Collector: It won't get here in time. Bounty Hunter: Oh, don't worry. It's not for me.
Damn those back to back Vestal stuns! "Ive come to collect" lmfao! Love when their random lines work out like that. Guess im gonna have to whip DD out again now. All it takes is one clip lol!
To be fair, the Collector is only hard the first 2-3 times you encounter him really. Not first in a new game, but first entirely. After the second time you have a very clear understanding of how he works and you really dont have to worry any dmg from him generally. Just focus him down. The collector is only scary if you do a moneyrun with seekers, while your actual parties get treatment.
I had an encounter with the collector. Level 6 team, level 3 collector if i remember correctly. After i used my camping stills. I was about to kill a boss. He died on turn 2
Narrator reminder: "Those fiends they can bleed they can be beaten!". P.S. always remember that on heart, there is no invincible foe even in a game like Darkest Dungeon is.
Shambler in tutorial, shambler altar 2nd embark, collector came after defeating shambler Dis mas died to collector but collector drops dismas head. A fitting end to the warrior who crit 3/3 on shambler in tutorial
The problem with collector is you don't know if he'll be there. At least Thing from the Stars has a notice warning you that it is possible to encounter, I believe Fanatic is the same way. Depending on your team comp and party well being, Collector showing up can end your run early.
"End your run" lol The boy is a push over if you can't beat him good chance you ain't beating the dungeon either. Champion enemies are a bigger threat then him. Have damage for rank one and four or have a way to pull him
@@BaldorfBaldorf 🤨 DD's wiki says, that trinket doesn't exist... Not even DLC's EDIT! : Oh.. I see.. It's a really in the base game... BUT! You have a Uncommon rarity (based is Rare) and it has different picture. So, that means, you must have old version of Darkest dungeon. Any other explanation I have not.
I really enjoyed my Bounty Hunter saying, "I've come to collect!" after hitting a crit. The fight also just went really well. Getting two stuns back to back, success on pulling him forward, the MaA guarding the Hwy Man, the Vestal healing herself, and all blights hit and debuffed. Couldn't have really expected the fight to go any better. What I can't explain is how many views this video has gotten lmao!
Those speed rolls are so cringe, fixed initiative would be infinitely better and rewarding for those who play strategically instead of just roll well BS rng
It can definitely be annoying when you put a bunch of speed on a character so they can throw up buffs, but then rolls a 1 and everyone goes before them lol

Yea frankenstiens monster. Good halloween lore on that one. And the monster being smart? I dont remember any intelligent dialogue😂
Yeah, I thought that was hilarious how bad his buddies were lol
First Collector: OH FUCK
50th Collector: Oh look, 3500 gold
For real. As I got more experienced with the game, I found myself intentionally hunting this clown 😆
First time I saw him half my party died now I kill him in like 3 turns lmao
First time I saw him I was like “oh hello” because I watched a ton of DD YT videos before playing the fucking game
Fun fact, you can surprise the collector.
"hey what are you guys doing here"

Its all about who acts first... Good strategy
That's why I build my team based on speed.
Only thing about fighting Collector that can ruin my raid is when a highway-man ghost does collect call and crits on your squishy
Don't even remind me
He slapped my antiquarian from 100% to 0 in a single turn
I know she isn't particularly strong but DAMN
buffed highwayman head can crit for 45, which can one shot most of heroes, except the most talkiest like Leper, Crusader, Man at arms
Man-at-Arms: What are you doing?
Bounty Hunter: Calling an ambulance.
The Collector: It won't get here in time.
Bounty Hunter: Oh, don't worry. It's not for me.
And yet in my games, the MaA will immediately guard him then the Vestal heals him.
Usually how mine go too lol
This fight is basically kill collector before Dismas kills you.
Now he's receiver XD
This game has so much more character than Darkest Dungeon 2 insane!
I laughed so hard at the thumbnail 😂.
I really were waiting for the bounty hunter to finish it off
Unfortunately his last roll was too low and the poison got the kill :\
Wrekd, I'm amazed he hasn't taken anyone in my current run. Yet. Lol had a few lengthy encounters this time.
As long as you can keep on him he's not too bad, especially if you hit that first turn stun
There can only be one...
That vestal with the double stun backtoback
A rare moment in Darkest Dungeons where everything actually goes right lol
I remember being scared of him.
Dismas carries his own head out of spite for the collector.
Now the 2 of them can beat the collector up together.
Damn those back to back Vestal stuns!
"Ive come to collect" lmfao! Love when their random lines work out like that.
Guess im gonna have to whip DD out again now. All it takes is one clip lol!
The best I’ve gotten is a kill on turn 2 thanks to the Bounty Hunter casually criting twice without any buffs or marks
I haven't found a single collector quick kill that hasn't involved vestal stunning him xD

It's more about team composition than anything.
Nice play!
Thank you!
Meanwhile, Collector in DD2 be like:
"'Sup bitches. Who ordered the TPK?"
I had an encounter with the collector. Level 6 team, level 3 collector if i remember correctly. After i used my camping stills. I was about to kill a boss. He died on turn 2
Actually even funnier it was a marked team

should've snuffed out the torch just before collector's death, would've given you 2-3 "Puzzling Trapezohedron"
Yeah, I forget to do that a lot :|
Huh, the first voice didn't seem to match the subtitle
Oh yeah, that's weird, it says melded instead of twisted!
I just detroyed a Collector last night, stunned and bled him dry and took no damage from him!
KG
Nah, I'd Collect
Shambler in tutorial, shambler altar 2nd embark, collector came after defeating shambler
Dis mas died to collector but collector drops dismas head. A fitting end to the warrior who crit 3/3 on shambler in tutorial
Always a shame to lose him ;(
