Thankfully, the only way to fight him is to use a torch at The Shambler's Alter (a curio that randomly spawns in any dungeon). The Shambler is harder than most bosses you'll encounter. Stun the Collected Man-at-Arms to remove the guard buff if he's guarding The Collector. Ignore the Collected Vestal (you should be able to outdamage her heals), make it a priority toВ kill Collected Highwayman (almost all of the damage comes from this spawn) and try to keep The Collector in the third position. Strategy:В Assuming you've followed the dungeon guidelines above, a decently prepared team shouldn't have too much of an issue with The Collector. He drops alwaysВ Puzzling Trapezohedron (worth 2,500 gold) and has a small chance to drop a very rare trinket (Barristan's Head, Dismas' Head, and/or Julia's Head all of them are pretty good) these trinkets can also be found in secret rooms so fighting The Collector isn't necessary. The Collector has a random chance of spawning when your inventory is more than 60% full. Special trinket/PuzzlingВ Trapezohedron x3 The rewards of each dungeon will pay for the provisions used to complete the mission (and extra provisions will be sold upon completion), but you should expect to make money off of what you find in the dungeon and not based on the reward of the mission. Almost all of the numbers are excessive, but it's better to be over-prepared than under-prepared. The following table is a quick and dirty list of provisions to bring into a dungeon.
