So what is this corpse mechanic and how to remove corpses in the game? Keep reading to know.
The forums are on fire and players are already curious to know if there is a way to remove corpses in the game. If you are one of those players, this is just the article for you. Now, for players new to the Darkest Dungeon games, the Corpse mechanic in these games is basically the spawning of “corpses” whenever you kill an enemy. Think of them like minions of actual enemies, only a lot ghastly. While they may look like an innocent nuisance in the beginning, they soon start becoming a hindrance to your combat if you do not adapt to it. But is there an easier way out? That to say, can you remove corpses from the game completely? Let us see.
Darkest Dungeon 2: How to remove Corpses
So how do you remove those pesky corpses which can come in your way while you are in the midst of combat? The answer to the question is not straightforward. It’s a yes and a no. No, because there is no specific option anywhere in the game to completely turn off the corpse mechanic. Players who had played the prequel and used this feature might be sad to hear that. Don’t lose hope yet. There are still ways to remove corpses in the game. Although it is not as easy as toggling it off. The hard way out is to grind in the game, grind enough till you get hold of certain items that will remove the corpses for you.
There are quite a lot of these for you to find and use. Listing out all these items is a topic for another day, but for now, two examples of attacks that can remove corpses in Darkest Dungeon 2 would be the Occultist’s Daemon’s Pull and the Flagellant’s Fester. The Occultist’s attack not only clears a corpse but also pulls an enemy forward and inflicts a debuff. On the other hand, the Flagellant’s attack clears a corpse and inflicts blight on any adjacent monsters. Apart from items, you can also clear corpses with The Grave Robber’s Dead of Night skill allows her to remove enemy corpses from the battlefield and also restore her own health.
So, while there is no definite way to remove the corpses in the game, with enough playtime and creativity you might soon start to incorporate it and make it a part of your strategy while planning out your fights. After all the devs have decided to include it in the game for a reason. That brings us to the end of this article. We hope all your doubts were cleared.
