![]() ![]() ![]() Wildbur will not call for reinforcements (obviously) and the fight will never end unless you kill him.Īfter a couple of ”Craving” rounds your Crimson Cursed party members (2 Shieldbreakers and the Houndmaster) will go into the ”Wasting” stage, which then opens up the window of them attacking themselves. That means that you can have your entire party at Death’s Door being hit for 0 damage every round and occasionally being stunned (which even though is annoying, it doesnt change anything). If you have 15% Protection (have not tested if less than 15% does the trick, i have a suspicion that 10% will also work) the ”Squeal” ability will hit you for 0, aka absolutely nothing. The cheese takes place with Protection trinkets. Even though ”Bit’o Squeal” is listed as an ability, Wildbur will never cast it on Apprentice. Wildbur will be left alone having one action per round and only ever using ”Squeal” which hits for 1 damage and has 0% crit chance (even though it will probably crit one party member once every 50-60 rounds). The achievement along with the importance of the Apprentice difficulty takes place when the actual Swine Prince dies. Only use your Vestal to heal high damage that goes through early on with the boss being at relatively high health. Any damage that manages to go through (mostly from Wild Flailing) should be left as is because after Swine Prince dies there will be no damage intake whatsoever and you will need your Cursed heroes as close to Death’s Door (if not at it) as possible. Houndmaster will spam Guard Dog on the Vestal amplifying his dodge making him almost consistently dodge both the mark of Wildbur and the Obliterate ability of the boss, should any marks go through. Right before the boss room (should be easy to figure out where it is even if you fail to scout) you will camp and your 2 Shieldbreakers will apply Sandstorm to each other, that will prevent them from being marked by Wildbur trivializing your frontline damage intake. First Part of the Fight, the Swine Prince Meaning that damage trinkets are not as important here. Your damage output is irrelevant given how your damage intake is really low since you avoid marks. There are a couple of Protection items, any with 15% and above will work but i think the most common one is “Protection boots” that gives 20% and is of uncommon rarity. You will need 1 Protection Trinket on each with at least 15% PROT. ![]() Note that your Vestal will be the only one wiithout the curse to avoid its behaviour effects during the boss fight. The Party will include 2 Shieldbreakers who will bear the Crimson Curse in the ”Craving” stage with the Sandstorm camping skill, a Houndmaster also bearing the Crimson Curse in the ”Craving” stage with the Guard Dog skill and of course the only class that can be considered a consistent healer, a Vestal. The strategy takes place in the -Apprentice- (it has to be apprentice) boss mission of the Swine Prince, the fight will be very controlled regardless of your low damage output (due to gearing). Nevertheless even though the execution is really straight forward, some preparation and a couple of requirements are needed, it wouldn’t be a guide otherwise. In a nutshell this guide will show you how to grab the achievement without breaking a sweat. It only takes a single round from the enemy reinforcements (which will probably be types that can attack every position) and some bad RNG to instantly knockdown your death’s door party members. The above change takes away your ability to ”protect” your crimson cursed death’s door members by placing them into ”safe spots” aka unreachable positions. That includes the 2 Rapturous Cultists in the first Darkest Dungeon quest. The reason behind that is that any enemy formation with 2 or less enemies will now call for reinforcements after they have been left alive for too long aka when you are trying to stall. I created this guide because this achievement is arguably one of the most painful to get and none of the guides i had a look at seems to be working as of the CoM patch. Why I Made this Guide and What is Different from Before Wildbur, the Cheese and the Achievement.First Part of the Fight, the Swine Prince. ![]()
