Please only discuss unlocking Skinwalker GloomWeaver in this thread.
Official Hint:
Foote predicted, a couple months ago:
I tried to unlock GloomWeaver by fighting in the Realm of Discord. I beat him after he flipped but got no unlock. I had Wraith, Nightmist and Grandpa Legacy on the team, Wraith made the killing blow.
GloomWeaver was MistBound at the time. All his Relics were in the trash.
Did you use Planar Banishment on Strength of the Grave?
I... don't think so. I did use Planar Banishment but I think I used it on 3 Environment cards
Tried unlocking somebody by killing Spite in Rook City with an Inventory Barrage from the Wraith (Gloom-Spite's bio says Wraith kills him, and I was guessing this might be the key to unlock Skinwalker). Didn't work.
Might try Razor Ordinance with the Micro Targeting Computer. You may also need to have defeated Gloomweaver already.
I had defeated Gloomy once before, so that wasn't the problem.
Just beat Spite: Agent of Gloom on his "Broken Vessel" side in the Realm of Discord. Figured this woud be it since Spite: AoG's backstory says Gloom is basically waiting for a vessel to use to enter the world.
No unlock. Sad panda.
I will be trying to unlock it fighting advanced villians (along with the other 2 mystery unlocks Ra and Fanatic).
It doesn't say that Wraith killed him. Wraith just pointed at him, and the drugs that he was taking eventually killed him. So unlocking Gloom Spite may involve him killing himself when he flips.
or possibly killing him with all his drug cards out before he flips.
Edit: Sorry, I thought this was the Gloom Spite thread. All the comments about Spite confused me.
The commentary about Spite is because some of us think the way to unlock Gloomweaver is to do something special during a fight with Spite.
And Spite dies due to "his system turning against him and a piece of serrated steel passing through his head." Sounds like a piece of Razor Ordnance to me. :)
didnt the darkwatch promos come out at the same time with spite and gloomweaver promos? Just trying to think of other angles. DW NM, DW Expat, DW Mrfixer.
"The mere physical destruction of the Nightmare Walker cannot summon his herald in a perfect world."
-Handelabra tweet.
That actually sounds more like a GloomSpite hint, rather than a Skinwalker hint. Sounds like Gloomy has to be beaten, but in some special way.
Damnit! I thought that was where I posting!
Don't despair young man of matchsticks. There is no villain named Gloomweaver, so I can understand your confusion for posting here.
I think Spite Agent of Gloom has to be unlocked first (and perhaps then defeated) to unlock Skinwalker.
It does say “first things first”.
My theory on Spite is to defeat Advanced Gloomy in Demon God Incarnate (perhaps in a specific way). “Mere PHYSICAL destruction of Nightmare Walker cannot summon his herald in a PERFECT [non-Adv Mode] world.”
Welcome to the forums!
I made the exact same mistake earlier.
