Darkest Dungeon 2 Dreaming General Boss Fight Guide

Updated Date :

Darkest Dungeon 2 is known for having strong enemies. But players who face Lair Bosses undergo a considerably tougher test – one which results in defeat most of the time. The Dreaming General, a corpse with flora going through it is one of the nastiest sights in the game. And that’s not it, many players are struggling to overcome and beat the General as well. This guide will show you how to beat the Dreaming General in Darkest Dungeon 2.

You will find the Dreaming General in a Lair called The General’s Keep. His Keep will be guarded by the Lost Battalion, one of the toughest enemy groups in Darkest Dungeon 2. You will have to clear them all before facing the Dreaming General.

Dreaming General Darkest Dungeon 2 Boss Fight Guide

You won’t only have to face the Dreaming General in this boss fight. Tap Root is the other entity alongside the main boss. Though you will only have to defeat the Dreaming General in Darkest Dungeon 2, you won’t survive if you ignore the Tap Root. The boss’ massive 205 HP can scare you. But you should be much wary of the Tap Root.

Tap Root Effects & How to Beat

Although it has only one type of attack called Creeping Growth, its effects can single-handedly take down your entire team if you are not careful. During every attack, the Tap Root will send two roots at random characters. If a particular hero gathers two of these Tap Root tokens, then their speed will be reduced. However, if they gather three of these tokens, then that player will lose the ability to use their Skills. To counter the Creeping Growth effect, we’d suggest that you attack the Tap Root twice during each turn. And since it hides behind the Dreaming General, you will need to use a Ranged Hero to attack it. Make sure
