This party is the most generic party you could ever conceive. The Miller doesn’t have a particularly large health pool, but when he can top himself up, it becomes a bit more of a nuisance. The worst part about this attack isn’t the damage, however, it’s the self-healing aspect. This is enough to potentially one-shot a backline if he lands a juicy critical. Once The Miller has lost approximately one-third of his HP, he will unlock a third possible action that deals incredible damage to one character. His phantom associates are mostly there to protect the Miller himself, so you will need to burn through them first if you want to land hits on the big man.

Once he has a mate, he will spend his remaining action to do an Area of Effect attack, or buff his summoned companion(s). The Miller activates twice per turn, and he will, in most cases, use one of those turns to summon a friend from the Farmstead. The wrong party, the wrong strategy, and let’s be honest, the wrong RNG, will result in a quick demise. This will allow you to deal +15% DMG on the next Weald quest, which will be this one and make things a hell of a lot easier.The Miller can and will lay the smackdown on you if you don’t come in prepared. If you can, do a corpse purifying quest just before this one to get the 'Sunshine in the Thicket' town event. Man at Arms also has nice buffs on your whole party (Man at Arms can also strike rank 3 with his basic attack, so he's a better choice than Leper or Crusader for position 1) Again, Highwayman has very nice self-buffs for that. Use any kind of DMG and CRIT buffs you can lay your hands on during camping prior to the boss. Although you also need to be sure your party is flexible regarding which position they can attack from, because if someone goes in the pot and comes out, they will move the whole party back and be on position 1, and this can mess you up big time. Highwayman and Graverobber are very nice here, as are the Arbalest and Houndmaster. Even better if they have a high chance to crit.
