·Multi-source verified (81/81)

The Howling Pit is a unique Color of Madness DLC quest that introduces wave-based combat within the Farmstead. Unlike standard dungeon crawls, this mission focuses on survival against endless shards of the Comet and corrupted farmhands. Players must manage escalating stress and "Refraction" effects while harvesting Comet Shards. Success requires a party capable of sustained endurance, as you must defeat waves of husks to eventually face The Miller. Heroes with high critical hit rates for stress healing and specialized armor-piercing abilities are essential for overcoming the crystalline defenses of the Farmstead’s inhabitants.
