There's many nuances and many different strategies both short and long term to keep track of and consider.
There's many things to consider and choose your tasks carefully. If you have an investigator with a boon that can switch any glyph to a lore, use that investigator for tasks that require mutliple lore. If you have an investigator with a boon to auto kill a monster, use that investigator to do one with a monster. That part is critically important and i've forgotten to do it multiple times in my happiness for completing the last task.Īnother angle with the boons, if you have an investigator that can add one to an investigation glyph, attack investifations with tasks that have those. These are the types of nuances you learn over time.įor instance, when winning an investigation against cthulhu while on the boat (The Ultima Thule) don't forget that if you're about to complete it and you have extra investigation glyphs (magnifying glass) you should drop them all into the investigation pool before winning. If you are going into an adventure where you need a lot of terror glyphs, it might be a waste to keep those dice around instead of the green ones in the case you need terrors, except for the red which gives you a small chance to change it to a terror. Yellow and Red glyph powers don't have the terror glyph (looks like a tentacled thing). I FINALLY beat it, and with two glyph dice left and got lucky with one peril on a green die and the Wildcard on the red glyph which i turned into a peril (I just uploaded a screenshot to the screenshots section because I was elated!) ,įor instance, some of the things you need to consider. but I don't like that it its more fun to have a random team for me.
For instance I lost against Cthulhu like 7 times in a row, there's ways to pick investigators that are stronger against Cthulhu, actually there's one strategy where you ONLY PICK ONE instead of a larger team. The game takes careful descision making and a little luck to beat, but it is possible and challenging. The game is part luck (roll of the glyph dice) and part strategy in maximizing your use of artifacts/spells/clues (calling them boons for short from here out), picking the correct tasks for the correct investigator, steering clear of hard to beat tasks until you have enough boons to maximize your chance of winning, managing the elder sign and doom tracks correctly (don't do an investigation with a -1 doom unless you actually have at least 1 doom) etc. I've beat them all except Dark Pharao and Ithaqua using all random investigator teams.
