Definitely played some Ravenloft in the past, in my pen and paper days, but it never came to mind in our discussion. Really, the central idea was to try to bring Lovecraft into the Middle Ages, to get him out of the 1920s. I never really learned how to play D&D properly, but I read it cover to cover several times. Did you guys play that at all?īourassa: I had a Ravenloft module.

I think about Ravenloft, from Dungeons & Dragons. If you are expecting to keep adventuring after defeating the Hag, or are encountering the Hag in the Endless Harvest, a more conservative approach may be prudent - in this case, attacks that hit both the cauldron and the Hag would be ideal.GamesBeat: Of course everyone keeps saying Lovecraft when they talk about this game.

However, it may be wise to tip over the Cauldron prematurely if the Hag placed your main damage dealer inside - in that case, free them and hope the Hag takes someone else the next time she uses 'Into the Pot!'. Generally speaking, it's best to ignore the pot and focus all your attacks on the Hag. Prior to the Shieldbreaker patch, it was possible to destroy the Cauldron, removing it from battle with no ill effects.

When the Hag dies, the Cauldron will also be destroyed, and anyone still inside will be automatically released.įleeing from the fight while a Hero is inside the Cauldron will result in the death of the Hero. The Cauldron will tip over and release the Hero into the front rank of your party either when it is reduced to 0 HP, or if the Hero inside falls to 0 HP and enters Death's Door. When a Hero is inside the Cauldron, it becomes vulnerable to attacks, during which the Hero will also suffer damage equal to 8.75% of his/her max HP after any action on any turn is performed. This lasts until the Hag uses her 'Into The Pot!' ability, which puts the targeted Hero into the Cauldron. With 100% PROT and high health, the Cauldron is also completely invincible - successfully landed hits will trigger an IMMUNE! and deal no damage, and trigger no effects. The Cauldron will always spawn occupying the first 2 ranks during the boss fight, while the Hag lurks behind it on the 3rd and 4th Rank.
