I guess... make sure you have sanity remaining? I agree, I also dislike this version. — cb42 · 37 3/27/19

I’m fine with it. The entire scenario is designed to be mean to you when you have no sanity remaining, it doesn’t hit that hard, has Combat 3, and there are other ways to damage it besides attacking. — Death by Chocolate · 1440 3/27/19

If you are playing on easy and are still unable to beat the Carcosa campaign maybe it's time to reconsider your deck building discussions instead of blaming the designers! :) — Alogon · 1118 3/28/19

I managed to kill him with my timeworn brand+reliable Leo in 7 rounds, while the others evaded him. — elenneth89 · 84 4/14/19

Just faced off with this punk last night, until 6am in the morning, 2nd blind playthrough of Carcosa. My first attempt was solo Chen Li which ended up incarcerated for those who know... My second attempt was 2 handed Winifred and Jenny with both being able to fight. He sucked down 2 initial Dynamite sticks from Jenny, then a full clip of Wini's Beretta M1918, in full sniper mode, and was finished off at 20 damage taken. To those saying it's extremely harsh on your sanity, I started this scenario with 6 out of 7 sanity, but was prepared to drink the Liquor like ladies do, and packed a bunch of soak and resiliency through Previous momento on Wini, Lonnie healing horror, and actually ended this Hamburger with zero sanity damage on the board, completely cleared all sanity damage. It's possible, it got close on beginning, but so where many of my scenarios through Carcosa, hanging on by a razor's edge. Gotta say, amazing campaign, beautiful design, still heaps of replayability, for sure. — Quantallar · 7 6/2/24

Honestly, I think the autofail mechanic is fine. With how the map is structured, it's pretty easy to just stay away from him and thus avoid attacks. Imo this is the least problematic version of Hastur, i'd much rather deal with this one than the King in Yellow variant — SmileyVandal · 34 7/1/24
