Bosses tend to have a large health pool and have a gimmick that your party must get around. There are also special bosses in the Darkest Dungeon, Courtyard and Farmstead. 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. Easily considered the toughest boss and encounter in Darkest Dungeon 2, winning against Focused Fault requires a near-perfect game plan. Bosses are large, difficult enemies which the player encounters in the Ruins, Weald, Warrens, or the Cove. 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. 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. 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.
