Ectoplasms can duplicate themselves and coalesce into larger ectoplasms, potentially making for an endless fight if the player does not focus damage correctly.

Ectoplasms and Gnashers are weak individually, but often appear in great numbers - Gnashers in particular are very fast, have a high dodge, and a high chance to inflict bleed, making them highly effective nuisances. While not as prone to disease as the Warrens, Gnashers, Scratchers, and Artillery all have a chance to infect your party - Gnashers in particular are a common source of Rabies. Monsters here usually have (expectedly) high Blight resistance, with low Bleed resistance being the only consistent weakness.Īs in other locations, back line creatures such as Fungal Artillery, Blighted Crones and the universal Cultist Witches are generally a priority, as they will apply stress, debuffs, and marks to your party. The large creatures pack immense amounts of hit points and damage, the small creatures come in swarming numbers and sometimes with overwhelming speed, and the ever-present infected fungi make Blight a continual threat. It presents a unique combination of threats that will often seek to overwhelm you in one particular way. The Weald can be challenging without proper preparation. The only add that you should bother to defeat is the Collected Highwayman. The reason for this is because the Collected Highwayman will deal some serious damage to your heroes and gets a damage bonus when the Collector marks your team.The music that plays during combat in the Weald is Mournweald Encounter. Once you defeat any of his adds, there is a chance he will use Collect Call again to replenish his ranks, with the odds increasing with each add you kill, before becoming a guaranteed reaction to you killing all of his adds.Īs such, we recommend that you largely ignore the adds as the Collector will just summon them back again. You can throw a DoT on him too, as he has low resistance to both Bleed and Blight. Start the fight by using Stun on the Collector, this will give you a couple of turns without having to worry about his adds. There can only ever be one of each of the latter, but there can be two Collected Highwaymen. Once his adds are summoned, the Collector will move to position four and his new adds will be in front of him. The Collector can summon 'Collected' versions of the Highwayman, Vestal, and Man-at-Arms.
