Wolves at the Door: A Darkest Dungeon Guide

In the dark world of Darkest Dungeon, the 'Wolves at the Door' is a random town event that can strike fear into the hearts of even the bravest heroes. This event is triggered when you have at least 4 level 5+ characters in your party, and it's essential to be prepared for it before leveling up any further.

The event begins with a boss throwing a bomb on a random character, which eventually explodes for massive damage. To mitigate this risk, Man at Arms is required in your party. Additionally, having Hellion or Houndmaster, Man at Arms, Jester, and Vestal will increase your chances of success.

Upon descending into the depths below, you'll find a room with a bag containing trinkets, including Ancestral trinkets, which can be a valuable reward. However, it's crucial to note that there may or may not be mobs in this area, as I've experienced it both ways during my attempts.

To beat the event, make sure to continue playing after defeating the boss. This ensures you don't lose any high-level characters and can replace them if needed. On the other hand, if the event pops up prematurely, simply send four level 1 characters to die, and then replace them afterwards.

Failure or abandoning the event will result in one of your characters permanently dying. Additionally, skipping the event will lead to a loss of two building upgrades. This emphasizes the importance of knowing what party you'll want to bring ahead of time and being prepared for the event before leveling up your heroes beyond level 5.

It's worth noting that there may be alternative strategies better suited to your playstyle, and this guide is not the only way to beat Wolves at the Door. However, I've found this approach effective in my own gameplay experience.

In conclusion, it's essential to be aware of the 'Wolves at the Door' event and plan accordingly to avoid any potential losses or setbacks. With the right party composition and strategy, you can overcome this challenging event and continue exploring the world of Darkest Dungeon.
