You cannot keep the midnight effects, locks and monster effects under control while maintaining the items necessary to beat Ithaqua reliably. If there is an area you need to take care of, just wait until the storm moves off the area - the random effects can be very bad, and you don't want to get unlucky.ħ) As you get closer to Ithaqua you will not be able to manage the board - things will spiral out of control. If there aren't areas worth exploring that aren't stormy, just spin the wheel at the camp. Keep in mind as you go collect your final Elder sign that if you are trying to save Ashley the investigator that gathers the final Elder sign will not get a turn in the final battle (unless you fail to save Ashley), so make sure your other three characters are prepared.Ħ) Especially early on, just don't tempt fate and enter an icy storm. 1 stamina, -1 sanity, or -1 random item from each member of your team.ĥ) In Alaska the goal is to maintain a solid stock of items for each character while you accumulate the 12 elder signs as quickly as possible - because once you gather the last one you have to fight Ithaqua and if you have one poorly stocked character you won't be able to save Ashley, and may not be able to beat Ithaqua. Otherwise you can really let the museum burn down (fill up with monsters and locks) as long as you have enough trophies to buy your supplies.Ĥ) Ithaqua's doom effects become more varied, e.g. This means you should be willing to spend turns at the entrance at the lost and found (spinning the wheel) and avoid midnight effects like the curator (which steals trophies) as best as possible.

Because of this Tsathoggua is actually good practice for Ithaqua - it helps you realize that the pace you are used to in beating Azathoth and Yig is too fast to reliably beat them - you need to methodically build up inventory and manage the board.ġ) Collect around 25 supplies before heading to Alaska.Ģ) Try to keep the doom track around 7 or lower before heading to Alaska and the doom track should not be an issue for you once there.ģ) Your primary objective in the museum should be to build up a big cache of items for each character while maintaining near full stamina and sanity.

First some general advice: Unlike Azathoth and Yig, Ithaqua's doom track fills at a slower pace and like Tsathoggua the threat from Ithaqua is all the areas filling up with locks, monsters and midnight effects. My wife and I have been playing this game together and her strategy (it would be untrue to call it our strategy) is as follows.
