Once you have the trinkets you actually want, make sure you sell the rest (so you can loot and sell fresh trinkets for more profit). Originally posted by RopeDrink:Defeating Shamblers will provide Ancestral trinkets, some of which are quite good - but sadly, just like all the other trinket tiers, only some are worth keeping.

The most common situation involves multiple altars and/or encountering a 0-light shambler beforehand (or afterwards).ĭefeating Shamblers will provide Ancestral trinkets, some of which are quite good - but sadly, just like all the other trinket tiers, only some are worth keeping. The Shambler - just like every other boss - can be countered via various setups, and if you intend to complete dungeons without torchlight, you would be wise to build teams that can handle Shamblers before you hit the Embark button.īear in mind that you can encounter several Shamblers within a single dungeon. He will continue to spawn new tentacles so long as he is alive and there is less than two tentacles on the field.Originally posted by Rugerfred:Never trust anybody.Įspecially when they bump a thread from 2015/17 to contribute false negatives. All of his moves will summon Tentacles should the player have killed any during the fight. The true real threat that the Shambler presents in his ability to constantly spawn in fresh Tentacles. His next largest threat comes in the form of his cleave DOT application, having both an attacks that deals bleed and one that deals blight. His largest risk to teams himself is in his ability to shuffle the players team comp. The Shambler himself is not a massive threat to the player. This makes him a good target to aim for should the player feel up to the challenge and be looking for some powerful buffs to their team. He will also increase The Flame by +25 and give the player 2 Mastery Points. Yet while he is a risky fight to take, he does offer a slew of special and powerful Trinkets which can only be given as a reward for fighting him.

The Shambler is a force to be reckoned with, giving players pause to play the game at low light levels for risk of encountering him.

Shamblers can appear multiple times over the course of an Expedition. Secondly, in later regions the Shambler has a small chance of replacing any road battle when the Flame level is 30 or less. Firstly, a Shambler may be summoned at the Shambler's Altar in the Academic's Study. The Shambler may be encountered in two ways.
