Disclaimer

This is a fan project, not aimed to bring the author any financial returns. All assets used are taken from the Official Darkest Dungeon Wiki, content of which is available under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. In no way this Discord Bot Minigame is aimed to replace Darkest Dungeon title by Red Hook Studios or provide a similar experience.

While most of mechanics, heroes and hero abilities are taken from the Darkest Dungeon game, a lot of values had to be changed to better suit solo "one-vs-one" style of the game. While some familiarity will occur, don't expect everything to work the same way as it works in the actual game. Again, this isn't meant to be a direct copy of the Red Hook game, nor can I ever even aim for it to be that.

With all that said, I hope you will have fun playing and exploring this fan minigame!

Starting the game

  1. Add AncestorBot to your Discord server. Instructions on how to do it can be found here.
  2. Start the game by typing one of the following commands in chat:
Minigame commands
!fight
!f
!df
!dfight

Option: typing !f [CLASS_NAME](no brackets, use underscores instead of spaces) will start game with a specified class, instead of randomly selecting one.

Note:

All of the commands above provide identical function, since they are just aliases for the single Fight command. Since !f is the shortest one, it will be used for the purposes of this documentation. It is also used in in-game tips for the same reason.

Playing the game

After sending the command, AncestorBot will send a message, which will contain:

  1. Your hero`s description and icon.
  2. Description of the first monster that you will fight.
  3. Monster statuses such as stealth or riposte (Optionally, if they start with one).
  4. Monster`s turn (Optionally, if the monster won the coin flip of who goes first).
  5. Monster's image.
  6. Your available actions in the footer , which is the very bottom part of the message.
Example of a started game:

Example of a started game

Numbers indicate parts of the message from the list above.

Available commands while playing:

Command Result Will end your turn?
!f [name of an action in the footer] Your hero will try to perform the corresponding action Yes
!f pass turn Your hero will do nothing this turn and will suffer stress damage for it Yes
!f help A short help, containing all the available Fight commands and a link to this very page No
!help f Same as !f help No
!f stats AncestorBot will try to send you a direct message, containing all the current stats and bonuses of your hero No
!f actions AncestorBot will try to send you a direct message, containing descriptions of all actions available to your hero No
!f ff Surrender. Your current game will be terminated and you will be presented with an end screen. Totally

If a command ends your turn, your hero will perform the corresponding action and then it will be the monster`s turn again. AncestorBot will send you the results of your`s and monster`s actions. After that, you are free again to use any of commands listed above.

Important note!

You don`t have to type in the full name of an action. Instead, you can provide only a part of the name and the bot will try to find the first available to your hero action, which name contains provided sequence of characters. Example: your hero`s available actions are: aimed shot, smokescreen, call the shot, patch up, skeet shot, pass turn. You want your hero to use call the shot. Instead of typing the full !f call the shot, you can simply type !f ca and it will return the same result, since call the shot is the first action in the list containing ``ca``. The same also applies to event actions.

Timeout

The game will be automatically terminated after 10 minutes of inactivity.

Trinkets

After dealing with your first monster, you`ll find a trinket after killing each subsequent opponent. The bot will show you the image and the description of the new trinket, and your options will be:

Command Result
!f 1 Your hero will equip trinket in the first trinket slot, possibly replacing already equipped one there
!f 2 Your hero will equip trinket in the second trinket slot, possibly replacing already equipped one there
!f skip Your hero will ignore the trinket and instead will use the available time to heal themselves. The healing amount is random, though the maximum is dependent on the trinket`s rarity

Trinkets provide permanent boosts to your hero`s stats, until they are either replaced by another trinket, or lost during an event.

Note:

While deciding whether or not to equip a trinket, you can still use !f actions or !f stats commands to check your conditions.

Lost in Time

As you proceed further and further, after a certain threshold you will start to encounter Lost in Time versions of heroes. Those are always hostile and fights with them proceed as with usual monsters, with the only exception being that Lost in Time heroes have deathblow resistance (though much lower than yours), and may not die as soon as their HP reaches 0.

Events

After dealing with a substantial amount of monsters, you will begin to encounter non-combat events, in which all kinds of things could happen! You may be granted a long-lasting status effect, or lose all your trinkets, or get beaten up, or... There is a number of pre-written events, though outcomes of some can vary drastically depending on chance or on class of your hero. Actions in events are different from your usual hero`s actions, but are selected and performed in the similar fashion by typing !f [action name]. Available actions are almost always in the footer of the latest game message from bot.

Lighting Changes

At certain kill intervals, colors of the surroundings will change. This change will affect all monsters' and heroes' stats up until the next interval.
