The Gestating Heart is the second-to-last form of the final boss of the Darkest Dungeon. Classified as ELDRITCH, it is a wriggling mass of horror that seems to be incubating an even more frightening and incomprehensible form.
Behavior[edit]
Every time one of your Heroes uses an ability on the Gestating Heart, they will gain 12 health back (4 on Stygian) and have a 150% chance to be Blighted for 2 damage (6 on Stygian) lasting 3 rounds. The Heart will only use Dispersion until the third round, at which point it casts Ascension.
