The Ancient Adversary is a secret boss in Darkest Dungeon II.

Description

A large stone statue of a familiar figure emanating a sinister power, the Ancient Adversary has a 5% chance of appearing as a unique choice labeled Enduring Evil at Assistance Encounters, Oases, and Creature Dens, as long as the hero party has at least one negative relationship.

Choosing to fight the Ancient Adversary will result in a fight that ends automatically in 5 rounds (additionally the option to retreat in Kingdoms is unavailable) and it will not appear again for the remainder of the run.

• I can't - not again!
