Talk:Enemies (Darkest Dungeon)

Dropping by to let you know that enemies can have multiple variations. The difference between those is that they have different stats, so any entry here should be threated with care, because it's fairly nondescript without any mention of what variation the enemy is. EDIT: It's always 3 variations, called A, B and C. I'll fit the monster box so that these could easily be added. --Dooomspeaker (talk) 19:23, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Interesting. I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up --Z3ther (talk) 21:38, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the mention, I was aware of this but did not work on the original page. I feel the page should be renamed to "Monsters" also as that is what the game files refer to enemies as. --NecroSanct (talk) 02:40, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 * To be fair, they are both referred to as monsters and enemies so we can either forward everything here to "Monsters" or just leave it as is and forward the Monsters page here. Also, as Dooomspeaker noted, most of the enemies have variations, so we'll need to take out all the HP, DODGE, SPD, resistances tables for each of the monsters on the list. But regardless, thanks for your efforts so far @NecroSanct, excellent work. --Z3ther (talk) 10:57, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 * As I mentioned, Monster is the name that is used in every instance in the game files when referencing them. I am just a stickler for keeping to what Redhook decided to go with is all. As for the varied kinds per type, you can see that the Shared Monster table I added includes the 3 various kinds of each type in the form of the files NameHere_A_info.darkest, NameHere_B_info.darkest, NameHere_C_info.darkest located in the various folders inside the "monsters" folder. Note that I left out Dodge on the table as that is not in the files I pulled from. --NecroSanct (talk) 17:45, 7 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Please check the Bone Defender to see our reference page for an monster (you got a point about the naming here indeed!) entries. If you want all the enemy stats collected on one page, there's really nothing speaking against that either.


 * I understand that the table is lacking additional information. That is one of my issues against it. I didn't make that page to begin with, I just added to what already existed. If it were up to me I would have the main Monsters page with a brief text breakdown at the top and a master list of every monster "group" in the game and leaving the individual entries on their own pages along with the monsters found in each dungeon on the specific dungeon pages. I mainly just pull info from files and add it in where it is needed as I have time. That is why as I said above I am a stickler for naming conventions, such as Monsters and Heroes (not Characters) as I stare at the files and that is how I see things. You can only convey so much on a Talk page as opposed to some other actual form of "team" communication. --NecroSanct (talk) 18:42, 7 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I second that notion for the sake of simpler articles. The incorrect names do kinda annoy me, but as we are currently a budding wiki for a a brand new game these things take a bit of patience. I'll try to catch as many as these incorrect namings and fix them in the next few days so it will help people with naming of future pages. Meanwhile please keep up the good work and tell us if there's other problems. As for communication,what would you suggest? Something like ICR could work pretty well.



I'd like to remove the abilities section and instead insert "Effects inflicted". I think that information is much more useful and take up less space than the abilities column.

I'm attached a C&P from my excel file below. I'm willing to fill these in myself if everyone agrees to it but I need help inserting the symbols as I don't know how yet. Effects within "[...]" means veteran and champion versions have this effect.

 * I can see your point about taking up less space, but I personally disagree. Some players, such as myself, like to be able to see the full effect of an enemy's attack as to plan accordingly or just get some insight into how the game works. That said I don't think this is a bad idea and maybe one of the other moderaters have an opionion on this, but as it stands I am against removing the abilities.
