If he is killed, the Horror will just summon another enemy, making it pointless. Shuffling Horror spawns with a Cultist Priest. Although coded to only use it if he is alone, it might be possible that it keeps using it every other turn after the summon, dealing heavy stress across the party. Should you decide to eliminate the troublesome Priest, the Shuffling Horror will always summon another monster right away with Echoing Disassembly.Therefore expect the following succession of Bleed-Shuffle-Bleed-Shuffle for this fight. Since both of Lacerate and Undulations have a 1 turn cooldown, he will alternate between each of them every one of his turns. If the Priest is left alive, the Shuffling Horror's attack pattern will remain always the same making it a very predictable enemy.It has 2 moves in a single turn and 3 different attacks. The Hag is a Human boss, is resistant to Stun, and has a high resistance to both Blight and Debuff, however, she is fairly susceptible to Bleed - another good reason to have a Hellion (or three) in your party.The Shuffling Horror is the first of four bosses that Darkest Dungeon has.

The Hag's Meat Tenderizer move will hit all of your heroes and seeing as there will regularly be a hero at 0 health (once they leave the pot), even the Hag's weak attacks can have deadly consequences. The Hag benefits from having more than one move per turn, and though her attacks deal low damage and focus more on increasing stress in your heroes, don't be fooled into thinking this fight will be easy. You are better off focusing on whittling down the Hag's HP and having your Vestal ready to heal up any heroes being kicked from the pot, or the Vestal themself if they are unfortunate enough to be chosen. We don't recommend the Occultist as a healer because their healing move inflicts Bleed on the recipient and it might only recover 1 HP anyway, which is too unreliable for what you need here. While you can save the hero by attacking the pot, we don't recommend you wasting your time and effort on doing this as the Hag will simply chuck someone else in.
