Quick Answer
House of Grief is hard because of enemy numbers, darkness, necrotic pressure, and Shadowheart story stakes. Prepare light or darkness answers, area control, necrotic protection, and positions that prevent a staircase collapse.
Recommended Route
| Stage | What To Do | Watch Out |
|---|---|---|
| Before fight | Bring Shadowheart, rest, prepare resistance and scrolls | This is her core area |
| Positioning | Do not stack the entire party | Darkness and area damage punish clumps |
| Opening | Control clusters and casters first | Adds matter more than boss tunneling |
| Choice | Decide by Shadowheart route | Do not skip dialogue context |
Key Checks
- Darkness answers greatly improve accuracy and safety.
- Summons can absorb actions and block paths.
- Shadowheart’s choice is story-first, not reward-only.
