Thats true. Ive seen fish have better strategy then those guys. But to be fair. They are kind of mindless apparitions that he gives life. And just swing. So i would say they are about as smart as Frankenstein

@@nicholaswilson5243 Sure, from a lore standpoint i totally agree with you. Their supposed to be just echoes of their former selves, as the heads act typically how they would act when they were still Heroes (Guarding and healing are the "main" skills of the Vestal and the Man-at-Arms) but in a dumb and out of place way like they've lost their intelligence. HOWEVER from my previous campaigns they are usually a true pain in the *ss, like guarding the Collector, buffing the Highwayman and then getting crit from him like it's nothing in one Fricking turn. I mean, it is Darkest Dungeon after all that's why we love to hate it

​@@nicholaswilson5243 Frankenstein is the scientist, you mean Frankenstein's monster who is also pretty smart too 🤓

Yea frankenstiens monster. Good halloween lore on that one. And the monster being smart? I dont remember any intelligent dialogue😂

Yeah, I thought that was hilarious how bad his buddies were lol

For real. As I got more experienced with the game, I found myself intentionally hunting this clown 😆

First time I saw him half my party died now I kill him in like 3 turns lmao

First time I saw him I was like “oh hello” because I watched a ton of DD YT videos before playing the fucking game

"hey what are you guys doing here"

​@@Wolie318"collectin, y'now

No its not. The Collector has a 3%(easy) 4%(Medium) 5%(large) chance to spawn depending on difficulty, if you have 79% (13 rows) of full inventory. The Ancestor even warns you about it. "A full pack, often attracts unwanted attention.) - you reached the 79%.

@@citrom509 That's still pretty wildly random. And the inventory system is the other thing I actually genuinely don't like about this game so that doesn't really help my thoughts of the Collector. I've had him show up as early as the FIRST bloody Ruins mission in the game. You know, when there's really no real way to prepare for it. Honestly, you go in that early, and the whole world immediately just blows up in your face... I think anyone who's had that experience with this guy would be singing a different tune. At least for the Thing From the Stars and the Fanatic, you can anticipate them coming and prepare accordingly. The Collector by comparison just shows up whenever he darn well feels like, and once he does he never bloody leaves you alone. I'm sorry, but the only thing keeping me from naming the Collector as the worst "mini-boss" in Darkest Dungeon is the Fanatic basically being a glorified Hag 2.0.

Oh that's neat, I had wondered if that line was more than flavor text.

he's in the top 5 worst tbh. Thing from the stars, fanatic, hag and then this guy and maybe the swine or prophet since they're a very specific kind of gimmick.

He’s a party check. If your party is good, you can just steamroll Collector. He’s free money since he always drops a head or a Tetrahedron if you have all 3.

We don't hate collector, he pays really well.

Agreed

Hate isn't strong enough. Loathe is better.

Its all about who acts first... Good strategy

That's why I build my team based on speed.

Don't even remind me He slapped my antiquarian from 100% to 0 in a single turn I know she isn't particularly strong but DAMN

buffed highwayman head can crit for 45, which can one shot most of heroes, except the most talkiest like Leper, Crusader, Man at arms

Then *miss* *miss* *dodge* *collect call* *he heals back to midlife* and now you have 4 wounded heroes fighting in complete darkness. Also next turn he crit a life steal and goes back to full life. Life is fun.

​@@amauryleblanc7979 you actually can snuff out the torch AFTER the killing blow and before the loot is shown. You still get the extra loot, but your worst nightmare scenario is now less of a nightmare scenario because you have light still on

@@ArioTBP forgot you could do that... But still, my scenario makes for better shaddenfraud (however it is written)

Thats a really bad advise, the way collector conditional spawn chance works makes this useless, he Is intended to stalk you when you already have a full inventory, and more than half of the Time you have to drop some gold/gem or supply in order to keep the trapezoid, besides head trinkests are 100% guaranteed on secret rooms if you dont have then, so no need to get lucky there

Usually how mine go too lol

As long as you can keep on him he's not too bad, especially if you hit that first turn stun

Unfortunately his last roll was too low and the poison got the kill :\

It's more about team composition than anything.

A rare moment in Darkest Dungeons where everything actually goes right lol

Yeah, I forget to do that a lot :|

Actually even funnier it was a marked team

Thank you!

Always a shame to lose him ;(

"End your run" lol The boy is a push over if you can't beat him good chance you ain't beating the dungeon either. Champion enemies are a bigger threat then him. Have damage for rank one and four or have a way to pull him

@@timothy6583 I'm talking about ending your dungeon run not your file.

@@gamermasterL that's what I meant lol

I can't recognize it. Perhaps it's a modded trinket.

That is the Brawler's Gloves +25% DMG if in position 1 -5% CRIT -1 SPD

@@BaldorfBaldorf Modded? I think so

@@1ShepardCZ No, as far as I know it's base game. But it could be DLC.

@@BaldorfBaldorf 🤨 DD's wiki says, that trinket doesn't exist... Not even DLC's EDIT! : Oh.. I see.. It's a really in the base game... BUT! You have a Uncommon rarity (based is Rare) and it has different picture. So, that means, you must have old version of Darkest dungeon. Any other explanation I have not.

I really enjoyed my Bounty Hunter saying, "I've come to collect!" after hitting a crit. The fight also just went really well. Getting two stuns back to back, success on pulling him forward, the MaA guarding the Hwy Man, the Vestal healing herself, and all blights hit and debuffed. Couldn't have really expected the fight to go any better. What I can't explain is how many views this video has gotten lmao!

@@BaldorfBaldorf fair enough

Its that all of his moves and stuns landed while the enemies used the worst possible moves, so the fight was a complete clean sweep.

It can definitely be annoying when you put a bunch of speed on a character so they can throw up buffs, but then rolls a 1 and everyone goes before them lol

Why, because you have no balls to roll dice?

Does that mean I can't post a video of fighting him?
