Shuffling Horror

Perhaps a distant cousin of the Shambler, albeit corrupted even further by the Eldritch god below, the Shuffling Horror is the first of four bosses that Darkest Dungeon has. It has 2 moves in a single turn and 3 different attacks.

Abilities

 * Cultist Priest or Defensive Growth

Strategy

 * Shuffling Horror spawns with a cultist. The Player can focus his attacks on him first to avoid bleed damage whilst trying to apply bleed and blight on the boss -since boss has high PROT, you cannot really hurt him without these. After the cultist is defeated the Player should focus on stress heals and applying the bleed/blight effects. In this point all you have to do is to try to lower stress with other heroes. If not, all/most of the heroes shall fall.


 * Shuffling Horror's main source of damage is high stress damage.
