Cove

The Cove is the second to last dungeon that can be explored. It is a water-logged nightmare filled with pelagic horrors, once used by the Ancestor for unsavory deliveries - and unspeakable pacts.

The music that plays during combat in the Cove is The Cove Battle.

Cove Strategy

Order of target elimination varies depending on the party's health and stress level. If the party is low on health, consider finishing Groupers first. If the party is reaching high stress, target back-row shamans. It is recommended to kill the Thrall as soon as possible no matter the circumstances, however. Leave maggots, stingers, and heavily armored enemies for last, as they are the least dangerous.

Provisions

Medicinal herbs are extremely useful to debuff traps and attacks, as well as curios, like Eerie Coral (to heal negative quirks) and the Fish Carcass (which gives you food).
Bring a few extra shovels for chests and oysters.
Bandages are useful for occasional bleed attacks, specifically from Uca Crushers, who have "arterial pinch".
Holy Water may be useful for Fish Idols.
Antivenom may be useful for Brackish Tide Pools.
Skeleton Key is occasionally needed for locked chests.
If you have a Houndmaster in your team, Dog Treats can be used on oysters for a dodge buff.

Party Composition

Bleed is less effective due to fish scales. Conversely, blight damage is extremely useful due to low resistances and the presence of high PROT enemies with the ability to guard weaker foes. Stun resistance is useful as many Cove enemies use stun attacks. Increasing the PROT value of frontline heroes can be invaluable here, due to high damage enemies and lack of DOT attacks. It's also worth noting that the Occultist does increased damage against eldritch enemies, which can be very useful here.
