Weald

"Corruption has soaked the soil, apping all good life from these groves. Let us burn out this evil."

- The Narrator

The Weald in Darkest Dungeon is a sprawling forest whose rotted boughs host a hideous kind of fungi. The only roads to the Hamlet pass through the diseased wood, making it an important area to cleanse.

Provisions

 * Bandages are useful for interacting with Mummified Remains and Eerie Spiderwebs for extra loot, as well as for curing Bleed effects that are inflicted by the numerous Gnashers that are encountered in the area.
 * Antivenom protects heroes from Old Trees for extra loot. Furthermore, many enemies inflict Blight here. This includes the Fungal Artillery, Unclean Giant, Crone, and higher level Fungal Scratchers.
 * Extra shovels very useful because blockages are encountered more often and and Shallow Graves provide loot when dug in.
 * Holy Water is useful if you find a Troubling Effigy, because it can potentially yield a positive quirk. It can also be used with Pristine Fountains to cure additional stress. Useful if you find a Eldritch Altar too, for the same reason, with a random chance of cure disease
 * Medicinal Herbs can be used on Beast Carcasses to harvest food safely.

Party Composition
Bleed, debuffs, and moves all very effective here due to low enemy resistances, with blight being much less effective due to high resistances. Plague Doctor's Battlefield Medicine is extremely useful here due to the prevalence of DOT attacks. The Unclean Giant deals a lot of damage with Treebranch Smackdown, so it is helpful to have an Occultist or Leper to lower his damage. The Hound Master can make good use of Target Whistle to deal with fungi.

The Weald has the most diverse enemy typing, with Unholy only being found in the occasional Bone Rabble and Ghoul. In apprentice level missions the most common enemy type is Eldritch, however veteran and champion missions add the Unclean Giant and Crone enemies, making Human the most common. The bosses of the Weald are also Human. Traps appear as a bed of mushrooms that deals Blight damage.
