The Hag is a Human boss, is resistant to Stun, and has a high resistance to both Blight and Debuff, however, she is fairly susceptible to Bleed - another good reason to have a Hellion (or three) in your party. The Hag's Meat Tenderizer move will hit all of your heroes and seeing as there will regularly be a hero at 0 health (once they leave the pot), even the Hag's weak attacks can have deadly consequences.

The Hag benefits from having more than one move per turn, and though her attacks deal low damage and focus more on increasing stress in your heroes, don't be fooled into thinking this fight will be easy. Each one is very difficult to beat and requires a different strategy for each individual boss. You are better off focusing on whittling down the Hag's HP and having your Vestal ready to heal up any heroes being kicked from the pot, or the Vestal themself if they are unfortunate enough to be chosen. We don't recommend the Occultist as a healer because their healing move inflicts Bleed on the recipient and it might only recover 1 HP anyway, which is too unreliable for what you need here. There are currently 13 different Bosses in Darkest Dungeon. Updated on June 12, 2023, by Axel Bosso: With the recent launch of Darkest Dungeon II 1.0, we thought this was a nice opportunity to get back to the game that started it all and go through its nightmares one more time. While you can save the hero by attacking the pot, we don't recommend you wasting your time and effort on doing this as the Hag will simply chuck someone else in. This boss battle has a secret trophy/achievement related to it as well, which we will also cover as part of our guide.
