- I love this fight, even if it sometimes goes haywire. This entire run was cursed looking back. So much bad stuff happened.

Repartee+ -> Prelude (Hit, blighted) -> The Fall (Crit, Death's Door) -> Go first next round (Fail 75 dbr, die)
DBR is a myth
@@ExtremeMan10 it sure is...
shuf yelling at the chat LOL, he was so mad.
Prelude, Fall, Prelude, Fall, Prelude, Fall, Prelude, Fall. Still less devastating than Hollow Vessel spam though
Making Sleeper proud.
Examplar making an example out of 3 the most op heroes in the game while T-posing the entire time x). This is one of the most boss ever made.
Occultist isn’t op
@@FatWalterWhite69 Leper also
i had like 3 out of my last 6 runs end like this, the boss makes 2-3 consistent key resists, I get like 2-3 bad trinket rolls in succession, the boss gets 2-3 lucky back-to-back crits with attacks that have a 20% chance, and boom half my team is dead.
@@FatWalterWhite69 He literally has the 2 most damaging moves in the entire game, besides being a healer and the best offensive support in the entire game just by virtue of his 2 main curses. But at least he is OP in a fun way not like *kof* PG ...
@@shivvy11that's the 4th one.
I simply would've taunted with my 2 speed leper before the 6 speed exemplar
Finally, someone gets it!
The only Misplay was the decision on whether to save herbs and medicine. This was the -rare- common occurrence where chat was being dumb
Misses the mark has 10% chance of occuring. And other hilarious lies you can tell yourself
I feel like playing darkest dungeon at all is an unsafe action
true haha
I just had the most insane solo hero experience. I went through the Sprawl, lost 3 to a Shambler, and Hellion managed to almost singlehandedly carry us to the Inn.
I say almost, because she died to the cult fight SOLEY because Hellion can't hit the third row. I couldn't out damage the block and regen that the altar was spamming onto the axe dude.
She survived 23 rounds and 5 exultations before finally losing a DD check to the bleed. That one trait that heals at the start at every round prolonged the agony.
That was propably the most heroic death Boudica could have gotten.^^ Yeah, Shambler ruins my runs as well.
that was defiant or something right. saved me in the first act 4 boss fight like 5 rounds in a row...
I really don't think there was anything you could have done to save your PD. Exemplar just played like a god. His AI is diabolical.
yep when the boss attack crit obliterates plague doctor's entire hp pool, its just GG, happened to me a few times on the tangle boss. similar thing but one time was kind of my fault, i had that cultist trinket where if you take stress you take 1 dmg, so I didn't even get a death door chance. just went from almost full HP to crit boom dead.
I will never equip that trinket again
imo he should have taken intimidate on leper instead of bash, being able to still have taunt on turn 4 would have saved pd if occ still healed her
DD is one of the few games where the AI actually seems like it's doing its best to kill you.
@@nauseousegg6416 sure there's many things that may have helped in hind-sight but this is just the nature of these RNG-heavy games. The whole point of rogue-like games is that the way they are designed, the RNG swings in both directions, and sometimes you will have it easy, and sometimes the boss will crit 3 times in a row. But hopefully most times your run is in-between where skill can play a role. But a lot of times, 'skill' is just what the player tells themself when they get favorable RNG :)
You want to mountain boss? This guy has different opinion.
I once got hit with a Prelude Crit + Blight on my GR right into a first turn 75% DBR check fail... That's when I knew I was a playing a Darkest Dungeon game
I'm finally knowledgeable enough to understand the amount of bs that went through this fight.
Removing Inimidate from Leper's bar is always a mistake 1000% of the time
Imagine not bringing intimidate and playing victim when withstand is on cooldown... clown lol
Using 2 times the item that buff blight resist on Occultist just for the lols, instead of Plague Doctor was the mistake.
You don't give your alchemist pd with thick blooded extra blight res :P
@@ShuffleFM OMG Shuffle responded I've never thought I'd get this far. Also Didnt Know she had extra bligth res other than the Alch Path. May had Been a good use anyway to lower her stress if she got hit by prelude, which she did xd
He played mostly safe, but skipping healing that dot on pb and pushing dps was a pinch greedy given dots are the number one killer XD She resisted the second dot application so battle med the turn before would have saved her possibly
It was schrodingers blight. If I cured it, then it would apply again. The real thing that killed her was the cherub summon that pinged her. The 1 enemy that can do it from exultation.
the moment i saw stress levels at start i knew it was gonna be good
2:32 “we have Harvest Child at home.”
Ah yes, Examplar. He who punished the overconfident!
Exemplar for some reason did 4 preludes, so all my team had a combo
I don't think that's actually possible :P
@@ShuffleFM I wish I saved the recording or screenshoted it coz it seemed weird af. I guess what broke the sequence was me guarding the 1st combo with my vestal
Exemplar finished my Grand Slam run on the Chapter 5. I was so mad.
Out of the 15 or so fights I've had with Exemplar, there's only like 4 where I didn't lose someone to that motherducker. I swear I can't for the life of me reliably beat this thing even if I bring double guard/taunt. Prelude Fall spam coupled with the regen is a nightmare to deal with.
lol right that's the rng for you, i've lost count how many times i beat him and he still gets me from time to time. And really shuf played it about as good as you can prepare for.
Items can make all the difference, try bringing as much smoke bomb as possible
Intimidate is a good skill
Shuffle claiming he wasn’t “playing unsafe” by naming everything he did except the thing that actually got him killed, which was using the healing salve instead of Medicine to cure the blight. That’s my streamer!
Only guard and 100% resist to all DOTS can save ur character from dying to a boss or minions who personally hates a particular hero. Even random weak enemies can achieve that, especially lair one
We need an Echo and Loki update to have even the smallest resemblance of balance.
Best solution to him is using flag and getting that stained trinket that gives like 75% extra hp and -50% dmg. He just tanks every. Single. Hit. Plus the food buffs he gets to just under 100 hp, so sure, you take 15 dmg a swing, but heal like 30 regardless of who heals you. Crit healing 50-60 health is game breaking.
Easiest Exemplar encounter.
Today I had a run where my flagellant ended up with 123 hp. Trophy from the baby and then the +75% hp -50% dmg trinket, punish was my only damage skill. And then I gave him some bread too. Big boy.
Damm boy he thick
regen giving back all of his death door protection tokens is kind of bs.
It gives back 1 because it comes off DD it's like you not dying if you have 1 hp
Its funny how I found your channel all because of this enemy mopping me up like spilled milk. Saw one vid of you fighting him and I haven't lost to him since lol he is much easier now idk if they nerfed him or not but im happy
Salve over Battlefield Medicine smh
skill issue
*smile*
How DARE you
Jokes on him, Shuff planned everything from start.
prelude, fall, prelude, fall
Lmao didn’t realize it kept going after pd died, ggs
I laughed way too much at "streameeeeer, skill issue" - Sorry Shuff.
This was BS, but at 4:34 I think the only thing that might’ve saved it would’ve been if you’d have chop+’d him instead of going for the bash, just because it would’ve ignored the blind. But even that would’ve been a hail mary.
Lmao just took a break from Bkack Reliquary because bad rng was making me mad.
Heroes: Min damage, resists, misses
Monsters: Focus fire, max damage, crit, lmao what is even deathblow resist?
Surely DD2 will be kinder. Right?
Lol!
Chat calling taunt a "braindead" token really says all. All you need for this fight is a couple characters that are useful. Highwayman and Occultist here were not useful, and Leper can't carry an incompetent party all by himself, evidently.
Think I trust my chat more than you after reading your response :P
Waitin' for the "grunt" version of the video
Enemies in DD are designed to hit random targets. If they are to start focusing one target, the game would be unplayable.
Meanwhile, taunt token exists on half the heroes
@@ShuffleFM still, imagine having rank 2 duelist against sped up party of anything. yet i'd better play taunts and guards thatn catching 40 crit and 10 db and throwing 4 hour run out of the window
Enemies giving themselves regen is just fricking bullshit. I mean it kind of fine if you work around it but why the hell they have it in the first place? They already have every 2nd attack inflicting stress, DOT, stun or everything combined and they hit hard as hell
I hate any enemy that heals, but at least the Exemplar needs set-up to use Pillar of Sacrifice.
Imagine an enemy that can heal as an action whenever it wants, and also deal damage, and buff itself, and give you an incurable disease that causes you to act out just for having it, all in the same action. Now imagine a whole DLC of those
@@nessesaryschoolthingThey're coming back...
@@fitzviandraduivenab2790 Please tell me you're joking
I wasn’t gonna say it but you gazed upon it while being unworthy. And so it had to punish you :(
Occultists first two turns gives a good example of why support abilities need to be busted to be viable. Damage is often guaranteed and the best crowd control is a dead enemy. But if you try to play the control game, you end up rolling the dice for a chance to do something. That's a 40% chance for this asshole who absolutely needs to be Weakened, to instead just make you waste your turn.
Also, Prelude is bullshit.
I have a love/ hate relationship with that fight.
I've lost a couple of great heroes to this thing.
You should have taunted with Occultist Shuff
Dude uses all his healing abilitys right away, no provocation from leper, even tho it arent needed to just proc token with your attack(great 9 damage, damn ) . Holding other heals, and going for risky vulnerable for 3 turns in a row, getting only 1 of them. Basicly wasted 5 turns in total.
Only wasted turns are passing. I took some risks and they didn't work out. Glad the video entertained you 😀
Why not take intimidate on Leper, too, instead of bash to have a second taunt option... Not questioning plays, only battle medicine would have saved her, but the damage race nature of the fight (and game) suggests using the salve. Sad(
Does Fall even have a cooldown?
Maybe I will pick up this game after all. I feel like once I beat Battletech any other turn based game is going to feel easy. At least in this game you know you'll never have to fight more than 4 enemies at once.
My hero
You play without taunt. It's unsafe xD
I had withstand though T_T
@@ShuffleFM And used it, like...once.
Not that it's that much of a difference. With exemplar playing like a god like this, all you can do is pray for resist on the blights.
It was on cooldown when PD died T___________T
He actually could have crit pistol shotted and stunned it with a pretty decent chance 40% to resist. That could have delayed and gave counterplay to that whole snowball effect
No mastery on pistol shot, I was thinking the same thing.
@@victorhelm6515 ah my apologies i was on mobile and it looked like it when i glanced it my mistake
Do Skiver next
Least tilted darkest dungeon player
Mr. Streamer how about getting more lucky next time? This amount of bad luck is truly unsafe and unsustainable. In short, just be less unlucky.
I blame occultist,should have just crit healed her to full health,then virtue immediatly.
Occultist skill issue
POG!
Lmfao
you didnt heal the dot and you didnt taunt yes people are right and bro u toxic af
I used 2 heals on her and taunt was on cd, I explained that immediately lol. As for being toxic, my chat and I have a good relationship and this is why. They can trash talk me and I flame them after and we all laugh about it. Thanks for watching :P
@@ShuffleFM that's exactly what im talking about man, 6 months into it and you're still arguing with your viewers just proves my point :D im watching you since dd1 dont worry ey
@@ozcalavera1667 what? you commented and I responded lol. you can't comment then try and act like you set a trap because I responded since I actually check my comments. just totally ignored what I said too btw. thanks for the support but yeah I'm just gonna head out of this thread.
bad comp, leper.. useless. highwayman.. useless. alchemist is a glass cannon and only proper healer. ritualist is only good at applying curses. Bye Bye!
???
???
@@ShuffleFM what is this guy on about lol
Highwayman and Alchemist useless? Have you played this video game for more than 10 hours?
Old english way does not support your cause.
Shuffle's salt is completely fair and justified.
Just sayin'
