Its final action (third attack of the fourth round) inflicts a lot of stress on the whole group, then it runs away. The Shrieker has a lot of life, a lot of dodge and attacks three times a turn. The Arbalest can also attack the nest on all ranks, and use her heal skill to assist the vestal in the survival of the group. The Houndmaster is used for his guard skill that provides an excellent escape bonus, as well as the fact that he can do good damage on the Shrieker's nest from all ranks. Man-at-arms up front with the guard skill and the dodge bonus for the group. Instead, bring medicinal herbs, holy water and bandages to make the fight a little easier.

The Shrieker's quest starts right away with the boss fight, so bringing things such as food, torches, shovels, and pass-runs is useless. So, the real goal is to survive his attacks while trying to break his nest to get nice monetary rewards. The nest changes position during combat, sometimes it is at the front, sometimes at the back. One thing to note: if you manage to destroy the Shrieker's Nest, you get between 1 and 5 items worth 3500 gold each. It is essentially an endurance test against a volley of devastating attacks. You do not even get an extra reward for killing him, so there is no real incentive. Killing him does not prevent the mission from happening again. Just survive 4 rounds, until it flies off and you'll win the quest. Winning does not require killing the Shrieker.

With an extremely high dodge, the Shrieker is hard to beat.īut fortunately… The objective of the fight is simply to survive

It is entirely based on Hamlet's events, one involving the theft of 8 charms stored in your inventory, and the other a quest to obtain a unique charm. One point to note is that you can not really choose when to fight it. The Shrieker is a strange and rather unique fight in Darkest Dungeon compared to the other bosses.
