To raise the stakes (get it? hilarious) of his encounter, he will drop an valuable tonic, 'The Cure', that will clear the Crimson Curse from an affected hero! He's also getting his loot tables punched up to add more incentive for enduring his roast." "The Fanatic is designed as a hunter boss – one that the party should fear. The new cure drops relate to The Fanatic: This change will go live later this week." Random drops from mobs will become less frequent, but this quest solution provides a) a reliable way to collect a supply of blood, and b) access to the courtyard content without an invitation. With large, expansive maps and the ever-lurking presence of The Fanatic, who roams the hallways hellbent on destroying the curse. ".while we've tuned blood drop rates few times, we're planning on adding a 'Gather the Blood' courtyard quest, which requires no Invitation, and will become a reliable, primary source of blood. The Crimson Curse continues to spread over the estate, forcing players to do battle with brand new foes in familiar locations, as well as the many traps and obstacles located around The Courtyard. Well, listen up, because both of those things are going to be easier to get your proboscis into. That's not going to help us veterans though, right? What we need is BLOOD. This should help a bit with that, letting you know that diving right in is up to you. We wanted to get the new content in front of players as soon as possible, but unfortunately this resulted in some people feeling tricked into taking underpowered heroes into a rough dungeon. "There is now an embark warning letting you know this quest is not suitable for fresh recruits, and is longer than a usual/ no-firewood short quest. Well, that quest will now come with a warning: Remember the first time you went into the courtyard, on that simple little level one quest? The short one? It wasn't very short was it, and then you got eaten by a toothy water beast.
Have all those fortunate enough not to be afflicted gone back to the safety of the hamlet? Let's talk among ourselves. Spoilers follow, so if you haven't played the Crimson Court and don't want to know details of what awaits, you might want to hold back. Red Hook have already balanced since release, making blood drop more often, and that's made things slightly less painful, but more assistance is coming. The curse saps their stats even when they're not dying of thirst, so it's a punishment with further punishments waiting in the chitinous wings. It's vampirism essentially and characters afflicted - and they can be infected by a single attack - require special blood vials to prevent them from wasting away. Thankfully, as well as announcing a stonking 175,000 copies sold, Red Hook say changes are a-coming. That's kind of the point, given that this is Darkest Dungeon rather than Brightest Ballroom, but Crimson Court's new curse often feels like a burden rather than an interesting new feature. It's a top notch addition, running alongside the main campaign and delivering wonderfully grotesque insectile vampires, but it's also really hard. At least, that's now I'd respond, and Fraser isn't far off a total collapse judging by his review.
