Announcement Small Questions and FAQ Megathread

59 Upvotes

As the subreddit sees more and more small questions, we thought it would be a good idea to make a thread custom-suited to them. With that, here's a few ground rules!

(1) Have you checked the relevant FAQ for your game yet? If not, it might be a good idea to start there. There's more in these than you might expect, and it's very possible there's already an official answer for your question.

(2) Use the Search function to see if someone might have already asked your question. It might save you some time!

(3) Proper spoiler tags must be used. If you don't know how to use them or what to spoiler tag, please reference the r/Gloomhaven spoiler rules. All the other subreddit rules apply, too, of course.

NOTE - If you have questions related to the Frosthaven puzzle book, including both hints and full solutions, you can check this thread.

If you have questions about unlocking basically anything, this Frosthaven Unlock Guide and this Gloomhaven 2nd Edition Unlock Guide are great resources.

With that said, ask away! The sub is full of very helpful and knowledgeable people. :)

Sorry for the delay on this, it's been a busy time! We are now releasing updated item import lists both from Frosthaven to Gloomhaven 2e and from Gloomhaven 2e to Frosthaven.

This will be added to Cephalofair's website in the future, although the website is undergoing some work at present so it's difficult to predict how soon that might be. /u/dwarfSA has both games' respective FAQs with this information incorporated and will publish those updates later today.

Gloomhaven 2nd Ed Chtulhu Lvl.7 card question Spoiler

3 Upvotes

The lvl.7 card "Mass Extinction" says:

"Attack 4 Target 1 enemy at any Range that has Plague"

"Whenever this ability kills an enemy, gain 1 XP and add +2 Attack, +1 Target".

My question is: does the add Target apply for all monsters or just for those who have a Plague token.

My ruling is that it extra targets monsters with Plague since it is a single ability and the extra text refers and is bound to the specifications of the actual 1st attack.

Just looking for an official clarification. u/dwarfSA

Gloomhaven 2nd Ed Gloomhaven 2nd Edition in Spanish?

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I played The Lion’s Jaws in Spanish with my partner and I’d like to give Gloomhaven a try, but the language might be an issue. I know that the second edition fixes many of the problems in the original, and I’m not sure whether to wait a bit longer or buy the original.

Does anyone know when it’ll be released in Spanish?

Gloomhaven 2nd Ed Why is Scenario 4 in GH 2E a locked scenario?

5 Upvotes

As far as I can see, Scenario 3 allows you to begin either Scenario 4 and Scenario 5, and if you complete Scenario 4, you can begin either Scenario 6 or 7.

Hence, I see no possibility of Scenario being a “locked” scenario in this sequence.

Am I missing something?

Gloomhaven 2nd Ed Circles 2e questions [Spoilers] Spoiler

7 Upvotes

Hi, i have some unclear things with Soultether cards.

  1. My thorn shooter summon has no attack, but applies poison to an enemy. If the closest monster already has poison, does the summon looking for another focus? Also if i grant an attack action to it, does it attack with 0, or not at all?

  2. Some abilities grant move and attack, no line between the 2 actions, i can choose the order right?

  3. Primal fusion (5) says summons gain +1 on attack, while Fire is up. Interving apparation (2) uses fire to attack more target. Do the +1's apply, or not, because i already used the fire for the attack?

Frosthaven Deathwalker attacks question

If an attack says 'Perform the attack(s) as if you were occupying a hex with a shadow.' (i.e. Lingering Rot), is it mandatory that the attacks come from a shadow?

Are you able to perform the attacks from your own hex?

Jaws of the Lion JOTL after Gloomhaven 2e?

8 Upvotes

~15 scenarios in to Gloomhaven 2nd ed; love it. Playing 4-handed with a group of 40s(ish) blokes and my 16yo. Wondering whether it is worth getting JOTL for after that is finished (or just for sneaky 2-handed between-session play with just my 16yo), or is it going to feel too brief / too hand-holding for initial scenarios / confusing with 1e-based rules?

edit to clarify - gloomhaven 2e is my group's first Haven game

Jaws of the Lion Question about jotl

5 Upvotes

Me and 2 friends played up to mission 5 this weekend, and after discussing with another friend, he wants to join too. We wanted to replay the first 5 missions with him, but didnt want to lose the progress we made, is there a way to handle that?

Im thinking of maintaining gold, items, xp and advantages, but not allowing the collected treasures to be collected again. Maybe we should reset the decks at least. Should we do some type of balancing with the gold? Maybe older players dont get 2 gold per collected coin, but get 1 gold instead until we reach mission 6. Also the older players would not get the end of mission rewards again, only the new player.

Gloomhaven 2nd Ed I’ve never actually shouted no before (vague city event spoiler) Spoiler

25 Upvotes

I was about to complete one of those money related personal quests when we got a city event where we had to choose to pay some money or not pay some money. Another character was retiring and I had like 33 more than I needed so we chose to pay the money.

Imagine my shock when I lost half my gold or 99 pieces to be exact

I think that physically hurt. I was shocked. Seems I won’t be retiring for a while after all.

Anyone ever lose more than that?

Gloomhaven 2nd Ed Loot doesn’t require line of sight… right?

1 Upvotes

I’m 99 percent sure this is right but just wanted to check. It’s not a targeted ability so it doesn’t matter if you can see the loot token or not.

Same for direct damage (assuming some direct damage happens far enough away to not be within line of sight). Right?

Jaws of the Lion Gold /Exp for absent Player?

Hello,

How do you do iT with absent Players regarding exp and gold?

The group didnt give the exp from a Main Quest to an absent Player. But the absent Player lost Gold from a town Quest in the Same Session.

Sounds weird for me.

Gloomhaven 2nd Ed How much of an “improvement” is the 2nd Edition?

66 Upvotes

Wife and I can NEVER get our boys to play all the awesome board games we have. One of them is really loving Dungeon Crawler Carl, so I sold him on the crawling and leveling aspect of JotL.

He’s really enjoying it and is now asking about buying Gloomhaven for when we blow through the JotL scenarios.

I can find the 1st Edition for around $70 on marketplace type sites (usually unpunched or just like 1 or 2 scenarios played), where as the 2nd edition is hard to find for any sort of discount.

Is it really worth the extra $100-$125 to upgrade? We can/would splurge if it truly improves the experience. Our son can be impatient, so if it’s a lot less fiddly and administrative that would certainly be a major positive…but that’s a bit of a significant jump.

Thank you for your insight!

Gloomhaven 2nd Ed Help: Rolling, advantage and null modifiers

0 Upvotes

Help, our group is confused how rolling modifiers interact with advantage/disadvantage.

Scenario 1:

Say I take +1 then +1, invisible with rolling, then 0

Normally I get +1, invisible tmk, but what do we get with advantage, what do we get with disadvantage?

Scenario 2:

Say I take +1 then +1, invisible with rolling, then +2

Normally I get +3, invisible tmk, but what do we get with advantage, what do we get with disadvantage?

Scenario 3:

Say I take +1 then +1, invisible with rolling, then nullifier

What do I get normally other than, invisible?, and what do we get with advantage, what do we get with disadvantage?

Scenario 4:

Say I take +1, invisible with rolling, then nullifier (from rolling) then +1

What do I get normally other than, invisible?, and what do we get with advantage, what do we get with disadvantage?

Scenario 5:

Say I take +1, invisible with rolling, then +1 (from rolling) then +1, invisible with rolling, then +1

What do I get normally other than, invisible?, and what do we get with advantage, what do we get with disadvantage?

Scenario 6:

Say I take +1, invisible with rolling, then +1 (from rolling) then +1, invisible with rolling, then null

What do I get normally other than, invisible?, and what do we get with advantage, what do we get with disadvantage?

Gloomhaven 1st Ed Looking for a Gloomhaven Setting Guide

0 Upvotes

I was gifted the Gloomhaven 1st Edition box some time ago, and was eager to play it. However, I did not enjoy a tactical card game, and decided I would convert it into a setting for Pathfinder 2e (D&D stuff). However, I seem to be missing a setting guide, or it did not come with on. I have tried looking for one online, but have so far been unsuccessful. If there is a setting guide, fan made or official, I would be very thankful to be directed to it.

As a side note, I was planning on converting the Campaign into something more open world, but have heard there's a 2nd edition and was wondering if that Campaign is better or more flexible to use.

Just encountered R-16 in GH 2E, and it indicates that I can lose one of the item cards (in my case I have 149) to gain the positive outcome BUT this Item 149 is tied to my Personal Quest, so I am assuming that if I choose to give this away, I select a new PQ?
