r/darkestdungeon

So, I was trying out a new team comp with some level 1's and doubled checked everything and I booted in and realized after two rooms that I didn't have any torches. My plan then was I would just keep going until my torch went out and pop a campfire in the adjacent room to reset it, whilst keeping stress to a minimum and just try to earn enough to make up for my mistake before abandoning the mission.

My resetted torch went out after 3 or so rooms. Then I thought, eh who cares about these guys that much, and tried to run it without torches. I ran through the entire dungeon and was only surprised once. I was hitting crazy crits and my occultist nearly died before popping a 30 crit on himself. I cleared through the fights pretty easily and 100% the dungeon.

I am on Radiant, for a more casual first time finishing playthrough. So I only learned of entire playthroughs that are torchless after doing that dungeon. Experimenting in this game is surprising less punishing than I thought, and a lot of fun!

Edit: Thank you guys for the information, I've learned some things about this game. Also I accident put a typo in the title, my bad..

Edit 2: You guys are telling me too many cool things, stop. I’m vulnerable to this, and now I want to play the game more, I’m susceptible, and can’t handle it. I’m kidding, can I please know more.?

I'm on chapter, one last level till I get to the final boss - positive relationships all around, good set of relics and bonuses, good team set up. I thought this time I might have a chance with the Seething Sigh but nooooo, I randomly meet the Collector for the first time and 3 members of my team get wiped out...

How I am supposed to want to continue when I lose so quickly with odds this good??? 😭 (I will hang on but this is super disheartening lol)

Was not the plan, only a failsafe and it was the last fight😭😭😭
He was lvl 6 and a beast at my comps

Hello all, I'm about to start the Black Reliquary and am wondering if the Duelist and Runaway will appear at the stagecoach (Whatever it's called on the airship) or if there are required mods to make them work/appear.

I don't see anything listed on the steam workshop but admittedly I haven't used any mods before.

Appreciate any help, thanks.
