PLAYTHROUGH INFO

This was a one off Darkest Dungeon challenge run I completed in early 2021. The primise was ‘can I beat everything on the hardest difficulty with only using female characters?’. This run definitely gave me an extra appreciation of some of the characters I generally do not use much in other challenge runs.

Bloodmoon Difficulty (Hardest)
All bosses and all DLC before the final four quests
Completed within the 100 week timer
Completed within the 15 death limit
Only male characters (that’s right, no real stress healers).
