I think I manifested this video, literally like 15 minutes ago I searched "The Shroud and You" wondering if you'd made it yet and here it is 😅
shroud theme goes so hard. Its not my favorite region but its definetely my favorite region music
Stuart didnt need to go so hard, but did so anyway
Side note: if you want to torture Fishmonger use Echoing March+
Something to remember about the Fisherman's Line is that you don't *have* to pick and choose between the stun and the bleed - The trinket in fact pairs pretty well with a second serrated trinket, such as Clasp Knife (+25% bleed%) and Chirurgeon's Spiked Skullcap. The +melee damage Gnarly Knuckles are also serrated, as are the Tangle's Clenching Claws (Weak/Vuln/Stun when hit). It doesn't neccessarily make Fisherman's Line a top pick, but its versatility is decent.
Was going to mention this myself. I also like to pair with the Spiked Skullcap from Chirurgeon (like you mentioned) which you can get in any zone or Fisherman’s Lure if I get it in the shroud.
Ran it on Surgeon to good effect. Having a chance to do a party-wide stun with mag rain was pretty nice in addition to the potential extra bleed with Incision.
When I first saw the "if x type of item is equipped" stipulation, I thought it ONLY applied to other trinkets, I had to realize later that combat items can be serrated, noxious, etc. It's funny to see that same misunderstanding in the other direction.
Now I’ll know how to expertly Shuffle my way through the Shroud 🕺
Something to take note of about the fishmonger's gloves, as well as the poison ring and tinderbox in this regard, is that the favourite toy memory boosts the on hit DOT effect from 1 for 3 rounds to 2 for 3 rounds, essentially doubling it's power.
It may not sound like much, but when PD throws down a mag rain and gets an extra 2 points for 3 rounds on 2-3 enemies, it adds up fast.
More reason to nerf favorite toy lol
@@ShuffleFM What would be your suggestion? To split it into 3 new memories?
@@thiagoleal5841 If that's how favorite toy is changed, I'd be okay with it. It's only a tangible nerf to PD since most heros don't have access to other DoTs outside of combat items anyway.
Important thing to note, if you bring the sleeping general trophy that immobilizes you in this fight, it can COMPLETELY mess up your order permanently for the rest of the fight. So if you have A Hellion that wants to use bleed out or iron swan and Dismas in rank 2 gets grabbed, after he comes back, he gets placed in rank 1 instead and the formation gets screwed up.
Thats why you make sure whoever is in first place has over 100 move resist.
@@ExtremeMan10100 move resist in first rank won’t keep you there if a lower move resist hero in rank 2 is undertowed and the hand dies. Move resist isn’t checked when displacing for return of the snagged hero.
So you need both front ranks to have max move resist to avoid the banner screwing up your party.
It specifically needs to be sergeant maa to deal with this and have him spam guard the person behind him. Or get a ton of drums
Gnarly Knuckles (20% Melee damage, +1 Stress when missing a melee attack) are both Weapons and Serrated. Fantastic value for Sprawl considering you're already gonna equip them anyway. Fisherman's Net + GK means the Gold Trinket csn get both it's Stun and Bleed, for example.
do i have all the feats you can have in dd2. yes.
do i still watch and like shuffles videos to help him out. yes :3
Very well explained and amazing editing Shuff :D great video!!
If Cove from first game taught us anything then its to prepare for bleed.....lots of bleed.
Perfect video to see since I am really struggling against the boss here.
These are your best videos; I was really hoping to see this one up soon. PLEASE do the other areas!!
I have 3 of 4 with this one now :) All that's left is Foetor! They're in this list ua-cam.com/video/0XgdwC4Kshs/v-deo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
Neat video that helps with the few things I've been missing with Levi. I have been trying since launch to get Beck & Call on a bleed party but either:
-Shroud is first region and there's 0 chance of taking on Levi then with this party. Would need all of the drums to be sold at first inn plus some decent combat items to even have a chance with only 2 mastery points and no Sargeant.
-Lashing Tides shows up instead, and for some reason my monitor magically gets a fist-sized hole in the middle of it causing me some hardware issues.
"Bikini skins not yet confirmed" This is false. Red Hook clearly stated they'll release mod support this year!
Ooh exciting! My mods to make my characters look utterly ridiculous return!
that sodden sweater looks fly
Nice overview of the region, appreciated the insight at the trinkets that can drop. Very helpful in determining which region to travel through. Looking forward to checking out the other region guides.
The main issue that I have with this area is how rarely I get to pick it. Out of all the areas I feel this one needs a rework at the very least for the trophies provided. Neither are as valuable or gamebreaking as the general or the harvest child ones for instance so if I want to visit this area it's usually as a self challenge once I already have what I need. And that is quite a shame because out of all the areas this one has the most character for me and I really enjoy how difficult it can be particularly earlier on. As always great guide!
Wdym the doble combat item stacking trophy it's really good. Plus the effect of that Trophy stacks with other Stagecoach item. U can get up to 10 restorative ítems, or 4 ítems of any kind. It's arguably the second Best Trophy of the game
Its worth doing for compass alone imo. Sweater also wrecks ravenous reach.
I disagree, shroud is my favorite region and its drops are even better. The combat item stacking is huge, I personally use it more than say the immobilize or burn on crit trophies.
Being able to bring 4 postules or 4 of the blood is very funny to me. The sodden sweater is goated too, considering most enemies apply bleed and mind you that 3/5 confession bosses causes movement disruption (Seething sigh, Ravenous Reach, and Body of Work). Nautical compass is random but personally provides more good than harm.
@@supersentaimexicano1967 the game already provides you with ample combat items that you can use at your leisure so stockpiling is ill advised. the only ones worth holding onto are the healing ones for the mountain fights but even then in my 400h of playthrough have found myself very rarely needing. I personally do not play much around combat items and I find myself tossing a lot of them away so for my playstyle the combat stacking trophy is redundant compared to the others. The trinkets however are really good but again for frontline ones the tangle ones are better by miles and for backline the shroud or even the foetor ones can also be far more applicable. Again this is my personal opinion but the combat items I find are always far more than enough to get me all the way to the end.
Nautical compass is the big reason to go to the shroud, like how snappy swig is for the sprawl. But, past that, The leviathan's trophies are very strong *if you choose to take advantage of it*. Lashing Tides is just free value if you're not dumping combat items at every node, doubly so if you happen to get one of the many "Produce X before every location" Stagecoach items; Stacking 4 healing salves, 3 triage kits, etc. etc. on your heros, or just 4 blood on tick runs saves a lot of space and provides loads of value on the fights that need them. The Beck and call being busted on a bleed heavy team is simple enough to understand, but taking advantage of it on non-bleed centric teams is as simple as equipping open vein, or incision, or harvest etc. etc.; Even one hero dishing out twice the bleed (Pseudo-doubling their turn) makes it well worth it along with equipping some of the levi-exclusive trinkets.
I wanna play volleyball against a team of dockers
Beck and Call is really awesome in combination with the Sodden Sweater. The downside is huge yes, but thankfully the same boss drops the ultimate answer to its downside. Once I got it in act 4 I changed my PD to Surgeon and she just wrecked the rest of the act alongside the Yellowhand HWM. Put the sweater on my sergeant MaA who just soaked all the hits and PD could cure any off bleeds that might have happened.
Sounds a bit odd to use in act 4 yes, but the poor boss didn't get more than a few turns in its last phase. Its also fairly easy to become very anti bleed through other means, like hospitals are constantly pumping out Clotting Poultices and the aforementioned Sergeant MaA that is pretty much made for hunting down Leviathan gives resistances to rest of the team.
Sodden sweater on any frontline is basically a free heal on most non-region locked fight. All the "Road" factions have bleed, Oblivion fights usually have 2 evangelists and both size 2 cultists bleed.
Past the odd stress/heal and resists it gives, if you wrap your friendly ravager in this, you have budget defiant.
Can Leviathan still undertow multiple targets or has that been patched out? I remember a run in early days of DD2 where I wouldn't manage to kill the hand and it would undertow again, and I would lose another hero, and then another... and then I just died. That was the most dreadful experience I've had in the game.
I've never known ANY time undertow was able to do that, but no. The leviathan can't take more than one hero unless it's taking their life.
What in the hell i had no idea of the docker's existance, and ive been playing since day 1
do not sleep on poet leper!!
This is genuinely the hardest region, I basically just avoid it. Might do some runs where I force myself here to try and learn better.
Shroud is a big no-go for any movement-sensitive teams, but past that it's personally no harder than the one-shot haven that is the tangle. The only thing making the tangle less dangerous is that the general's gimmick is only prone to leaving your characters at high stress, whereas leviathan is gonna leave you with Stress, low health, and trauma from missing 5 attacks in a row because of leviathan's breath while death's door checking your backliners... but past that, the non-lair boss fish are pretty manageable.
@@josh___something It just feels so much more punishing to get hit by rng in the shroud. The enemies push, pull, and stack tokens much more often here than the Tangle. The difference in my opinion is that the enemies in the tangle usually need someone to enable them to make them super scary and they’re not usually super tanky.
@@rubythebee3958 I've been crit death's door'ed by a random footsoldier more than I have the docker, *and don't get me started on the knight and its champion variant.*
The common enemies on the shroud are annoying, but ALL the tangle enemies are pains in the ass. The bishop is juuust high enough HP to tank a round of low rolled shots, arbalists are pieces of shit no matter what rank they're in, the drummer is the BANE of my existence, and The Knight's can and will just take heros from 100% to 0% if you had the misfortune of accidentally critting them to death's door.
Meanwhile, the cabin boy is pretty much a gimme in most cases, the bosun and wharfrats are pushovers, the Fishmongerand captain is checkmated by a wonderful move called pulling them to front rank, and the docker is a diceroll either way, so honestly I'd take the L on both size 2s.
The docker is strong as a mini boss and dont give more reward!
Thank you shuff, I’ve been watching you for a while now. You’ve got me into the game, now that I’m playing darkest dungeon 2 and learning another one of these bullshit ass games. Love you
Thank you for watching!
w8ing for ''Mountain and You'' ngl.😉
Fuck the shroud, leviathan and me
Heave Ho! Heave Ho! Heave Ho!
Getting clapped by Leviathan so time to watch
🤠
Wait, what does fog even do? I have never understood the mechanic
Forgot to put it in but it has a chance of applying vuln and blind to your party as well as 1 stress. It only appears in fisherfolk fights and it has a chance of appearing per turn.
Shuffle breaking NDA to leak upcoming DD2 bikini skins
"almost as damaging as the tangle"
bro aint no way the tangle got anything on shroud
riptide is just illegal
Had enough of my units crit for 17 by foot soldiers personally :P
@@ShuffleFM and for some dumbass reason the foot soldiers can target rank 3 with atrophic cut... that's so dumb. You'd think they were designed to spam the bleed debuff so your frontliners get worn down from the arbalest's bleed attacks but nah they can just decide to 2 shot my poor alchemist PD in slot 3
@@ShuffleFM it is! its almost like their crit chance is inverted, and the % displayed on the wiki is a chance to NOT crit
thanks, , Levy is like, the worst boss on my eyes, even with MaA in sergent i nevers manage to kill him, despite killing harder bosses...
Levi is arguably the hardest boss not counting confessions. If I had to put it in a ranking, it’s probably second or third with confessions mostly because SS and FF are pretty brutal.
@@rubythebee3958FF is trivial with the right gear or team. If you have a way to get stealth or dodge plus for every character or blind on FF, it removes the threat. I beat him my first time facing him because I got decent drops (two of the cultist trinkets that add stealth), was playing around with the Fire and Steel team to try a dance team with Intrepid Duellist, and had the Shambler Spawn pet because I was achievement hunting (didn’t find a shambler that run through) which allowed Cultist trinket without needing the stained item). The fights in the other zones were a bigger struggle.
@@Barghaest Count yourself lucky that you get to fight the well designed FF
@@rubythebee3958 Yes, pre-update I understand he was a nightmare.
Shroud more balanced than Foetor, I don't care what anyone says. It's probably my second easiest Region after Sprawl (barring Shaman or Pit Fighter shenanigans).
Been waiting for thjs, this region is my downfall in this game. Believe it or not, I've completed stygian grand slam, but have only ever gone to the Shroud once. Fuck this region.
I did do most stuff in EA or right on 1.0 though so I think it's weaker now.
