Please only discuss unlocking Agent of Gloom Spite in this thread.
Official Hint:
Because I think it's probably been fixed by now, someone posted on the Handelabra Forums yesterday, sure they'd gotten an unlock.
This was in the steam version of the game, and they then reported that the actual character wasn't available in their game. The screen popped up, but no variants seemed to exist. This is all uncomfirmed, they didn't think to capture a screenshot or anything. If it's true, I think the bug that left the unlock conditions still get triggered has been fixed.
It's still a place to start though.The variant unlock should not have popped up. The bug has been fixed in version 1.4.1 available now on Steam and on Android today.
Defeating Spite with Wraith at > 10 and using Razor Ordinance did not unlock.
Was in Rook City.
Spite was flipped.
I unlocked him last night.
Was fighting Advanced Gloomweaver in Realm of Discord, non of his artifacts were in the trash, two of them were in play along with a two cultists and probably a zombie and pin also (don't have perfect memory sorry) he went down from 32 hit point to exactly zero from a very well charged Omni-cannon shot with some buffs as well. (Base damage was 30 and 2 +1 damage sources).
The variant has unlocked and I can play with him so not sure if this part of a bug or this is doing things the right way.
Probably caused by the fact taht I defeated Advanced Gloomweaver (in Realm of Discord) without letting him flip and doing so by dealing damgae to him rather than killing off his relics.
Who was on your team when you beat him?
There's more to it then that.
I just beat GloomWeaver on Advanced in the Realm with Ra, Tempest, AZ and Argent Adept, no unlock. I saw no relics and beat down on one only Cultist, Ra got the killing blow. There was a second Cultist in play and two pins, and his zombie ongoing.
FYI, there is a bug that's in the iOS version right now that makes unlocking this variant easier than it should be.
It could also be the fact that he had two relics out when I did him in.
The note below mentions on the IOS version it's easier than it should be, if I had to guess maybe the location is correct, and advance mode, but he needs to have all three relics out in play and you have to beat him on the round he plays the third relic before he flips.
The game I played had him play three relics but one of them was destoryed and got shuffled back in and played a second time, so with a bug that might have coutned as "playing three relics" without properly checking to see if there were three relics in play when I defeated him.
The team was as best I can recal Visonary, Bunker, Fanatic, Absolute Zero, and Young Legacy.
I beat Adv Gloom in three rounds and one relic came out. No unlock.
Legacy, Ra. Expat, Fanatic, Tempest
Tempest got the final blow
I tried beating him.In the realm with all 3 relics before he flipped. No dice. Also nothing for killing him that way with Nightmist in particular.
I beat Gloom with Gramps Legacy, Expat, Argent Adept, Visionary, and Mistweaver. I was playing at the Realm of Discord. I beat him by trashing the 3 relics before he flipped. No unlock.
Just unlocked Variant Spite. Was fighting Gloomweaver in Wagner Mars Base, with Fanatic, Ra, Argent Adept, Wraith, and Haka. I think what triggered him was I beat Gloomweaver while the Pouch of Bones was out with all 3 cultists in play. There were no other of Gloom's relics in play--just his 3 cultists. The Pouch of Bones was also at full HP (not sure if that matters)
Perhaps it's "Beat Gloomweaver with the Pouch of Bones and all 3 cultists in play?"
I just did it while unlocking Dark Visionary. I had Ab Zero, Vis, Grampa Legs, AA, and Ra. Regular Gloommy flipped, I burned him down with Ab Zero, killing blow with Vis. He had 2 relics out, 3 cultists, and I think a voodoo pin. I was in Atlantis.
I bet one condition is "Defeat Spite. Then, defeat Gloomweaver..." So if you haven't beaten Spite yet, try that.
Of course, I'm on iOS so I have the easy unlock bug. Maybe defeat him on his flipped side after beating Spite? Maybe the killing blow has to be with a hero that has a pin on him?
Hope this helps!
My Gloomweaver was not on his flip side, so I do not believe he has to be flipped. Also, I had no pins in play, so that's not it either.
Do you remember what relics you had in play? Other than that, it seems we both had 3 cultists in play. Perhaps "Beat Gloomweaver with at least 3 cultists in play."
And I also thought the bug was fixed in a patch from the other day...because my Variant Spite plays fine.
Or...perhaps it is not fixed in the iOS version (the version I have...grumble...grumble). I'm going to be so mad if I "unlocked" this variant and I have to do it again...
If unlock a variant by normal or bugged methods it shouldn't become locked when the update is released with the bug fixed.
Defeated Gloomweaver with 3 different cultists and Pouch of Bones in play in the Realm of Discord. No unlock.
I've previously beaten Spite, but that was not my most recent game.
Hmm...sounds like you did what I did. However, looking at my screenshot, I do notice that I had Wraith deal the final blow to Gloomweaver with an Inventory Barrage...I can't remember exactly what she blew up to use it, but I'd say it was at least 3 equipments.
Perhaps it's "Defeat Spite. Then defeat Gloomweaver in the Realm of Discord with Wraith's Inventory Barrage while the Pouch of Bones and at least 3 cultists in play?"
Except that Zestage got it without having Wraith in the fight at all.
Did you have any pins? Zestage did, and I don't think I did.
True, true.
I don't think I had any pins in play. If I did, it was only one.
Of course, I'm still not sure if I even legitimately earned it, since I am playing on the iPad...
Just unlocked him. Advanced gloom weaver, RoD, bunker, Ra, dark visionary.
Trigger on kill. Ra (time distortion) used fire blast, flame spike, power: fire tornado.
0-1 pins I don't remember if it was this turn or the previous turn, 2 cultists, 3 relics, unflipped.
Out of curiosity are you playing on iOS? MigrantP listed that the unlock îs easier on that platform currently
Facebook post by Handelabra suggests Gloomweaver needs to be defeated in Demon God Incarnate mode (maybe in a specific way) to unlock Spite?
“… PHYSICAL destruction of Nightmare Walker cannot summon his herald in a perfect world.”
Not sure what is meant by the “perfect world” bit. Maybe it means it has to be on Advanced?
Welcome to the forums!
Looks like you reduced Gloomy to exactly 0 hp - a "perfect" victory.
In a perfect world, software has no bugs.
After looking at the picture, combined with the hint given and the above posts, I assumed the condition to be "defeat Advanced Gloomweaver [immune to Melee and Proj- thus, PHYSICAL destruction] and have the killing damage reduce him to exactly 0 HP [PERFECT world, perfect defeat... bit of a stretch], probably in Realm of Discord."
Just played two games against him, both advanced, both reducing to perfect 0, first game defeated him on his front side, and the second on his backside. No unlock on either attempt.
The only thing worth mentioning is that I had all relics destroyed before defeating him on his flip side in the second game, so maybe that's where I went wrong? Other than that, not much seems different between my game and the captured image. Though for the record, I had D. Visionary, Argent, Legacy, Tempest, and Ra, in RoD.
A bit of a stretch, but maybe it needs to be in Rook City, since that’s the place furthest from a “perfect world.” Plus Spite is from Rook City 
Also Nightmist may need to be part of the team (or even deliver the final blow) since she sealed Gloomy in the story?
Welp, just proved my theory wrong, which was finish a game against gloomweaver, winning by killing all three relics (not "mere phyiscal destruction") with all heroes at full health ("a perfect world")
A little sad because that took some effort, let me tell you.
MigrantP pretty much gave it away in his last post. Perfect world means Steam, Kindle, Android. iOS is non perfect until the next update.
So my unlock doesn't help due to software bugs? Bummer.
Huh.
Why does the banner on the variant page say "Spite: Agent of Chaos"? Hint or mistake, you decide!
I'd seen that too. My guess is that it is from the updated Oversized Villain Cards.
I wonder if it has something to do with casting Planar Banishment on Gloomy’s relics (perhaps all 3 at once)?
yes, on iOS. Sorry for the delayed reply.
Conditions appear to be more or less resolved elsewhere.
Any team vs. Gloom, any environment
Defeat Gloom via three relics in the trash condition, with three cultists and/or zombies in play.
Easy to achieve with Haka by eating the relics, then spitting them out once you're ready to win. It's unclear what the precise cultists / zombie condition is, I used one of each cultist and no zombies and it worked.
Defeated Gloom with a relic victory, with two Profane Zealots and 1 Cursed Acolyte in play. No zombies, no othe cultists. Strength of the Grave wa si nplay, but that doesn't seem to be consistent so probably not relevant.
I think Strength of the Grave might be important. I beat Gloom the exact same way. Relic Victory, 3 Cultists in play. No Strength of the Grave in play, and I didn't get the unlock. That was a fun wasted hour.
Just got the unlock.
team was Wraith, Dark Vis, Legacy, Haka, and Ra.
Fought in Silver Gulch.
Relic Victory. 1 Profane Zealot, 2 Chosen Disciples, and 2 zombies in play.
No other villain cards in play.
Has anyone beat him WITHOUT Haka to get the unlock? It seems that may be what I was missing, because otherwise I did the exact same things that the last two posters did, but with no unlock.
Or without Wraith? Wraith would make sense, because she's connected to Spite.
Hey, I think iOS has become a perfect world! Saw version 1.4.2 in the App store now.
*POSSIBLE CHEATYNESS: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK*
Someone in the steam forums found a log file hidden in the game files that updates when an unlock is possible, just a single line that appears when you start a game, and says "Agent of Gloom Spite is available in this game" or something like that. This line appears when someone fights gloomweaver, regardless of environment or hero. There's no further information other than that, no instructions for unlocking.
*POSSIBLE CHEATYNESS ENDED*
If moderators/admin don't like this information being posted here, feel free to delete this post, I will not be offended.
Got the unlock. Legacy, Haka, Ra, Wraith, and Tempest in Insula. Relic win with 2 Cultists and 2 Zombies in play. Strength of the Grave in play as well.
Given how some people are getting the unlock and others aren't, and the Twitter clue about the mere physical destruction of the nightmare walker not being enough, I think that the missing element might be related to multiple prior battles.
It could be something like:
After previously defeating Spite and Gloomweaver by destroying his physical form (i.e. pre-flip KO to Gloomy, not a win through Relic destruction), defeat Gloomweaver a second time by destroying his relics, while [2?] clutists are in play.
The hint was about the iOS bug, which is now fixed as version 1.4.2 is available.
Ah well, I thought I was on to something. Of course, I unlocked Spite AoG just before the iOS update, so my testing is irrelevant.
when the conditions are eventually revealed, I'll have to do them just so I feel better about having gotten S:AoG too easily.
It's not necessarily irrelevant. Only one part of the condition had a bug, that you could get it by destroying GloomWeaver.
It's not "and/or zombies", just relic-victoried Gloomweaver with five zombies, no cultists (and no ongoings like Strength of the Grave) in play, no unlock. Team was legacy, wraith, haka, dark visionary, argent adept.
I also had no unlock on a relic victory with four cultists (one of each plus a second Chosen Disciple,) and two zombies in play. No other villain cards in play.
Environment: Realm of Discord
Team: Absolute Zero, Dark Visionary, Haka, and Horus Ra.
Try replacing Haka with Wraith.
Unlocked
haka wraith dark visionary legacy tachyon
insula primus
relic victory, 3 zombies, 2 cultist out (chosen disciple and the one that reduces damage)
Gloomweaver (normal) in Realm of Discord.
Unlocked with Legacy, Tachyon, Haka, Wraith, Mr. Fixer.
Relic victory.
One of each cultist and one zombie in play. No other villain cards in play.
Gloomweaver defeated via relic victory in Insula Primalis, no unlock. 2 zombies, 2 cultists in play.
Got it. Against Gloomweaver in Silver Gulch
All three cultists in play + strength of the grave with 3 relics in the grave for the kill
Unlocked
Haka, Wraith, Dark Visionary, Legacy & Tachyon
Insula Primus
Relic victory, 2 cultist out, Cursed Acolyte and Profane Zealot, nothing else on GloomWeaver's side.
I cheated. I copied tyquaius' set up and then right at the end copied my saves so I could test conditions.
If necessary I can give exact cards in discards piles for everyone but the key (I think) was seeing all 3 cultists and some still being in play. I won a game with Profane Zealot in play and got no unlock, I then backed up and won the exact same game where the only differences were heroes skipped their turns and Infrared Eyepiece dug out Cursed Acoylyte for the next turn. When GloomWeaver was beaten on turn+1 with the self-same victory condition I unlocked Spite.
I suspect the unlock condition is either "See all cultist and have at least 2 in play when victory is achieved" or "(See all Cultist and) Have more cultists in play than in the trash when victory is achieved"
I don't think it's the second. I beat him via relics with nothing in his trash but the 3 relics and didn't get the unlock. There were 4 or 5 zombies in play and the female cultist. I can't remember the name. She was the only cultist I saw. May very well have to atleast see them all.
Has anyone who unlocked him beat Spite immediately before?
I tried beating Spite, then defeat Gloomweaver with the relic kill, with a zombie and two cultists in play, with Strengthof the Grave. No unlock.
Unlocked!
I beat Spite, then I beat Gloomy via Relics with 2 cultists and a Zombie out at time of victory. The game before the unlock I had used the same setup and win, but there were no cultists or zombies out and it didn't unlock.
As the face of Profane Zealot , I’d feel left out if he’s the only cultist not needed in play…
But I sure do like trashing him!
So the main belief so far is to beat GW after all three different cultists have been seen and two are still in play?
Has anyone recieved the unlock with more cultists in the trash than on the field? Cause if Matchstick's second theory is right, then I'm gonna have to see about getting Savage Mana in my hand right at the start...
Legacy, Fanatic, Dark Visionary and Wraith in Dino island. All three cultists in play, one zealot in the trash. Three zombies and the snake in play. Relic victory. No unlock.
Unlocked him:
http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/442827790316618844/815C3AC26AD8F72495B7331BDB493B658BBFFB24/?interpolation=lanczos-none&output-format=jpeg&output-quality=95&fit=inside
Haka, Wraith, Dark Visionary, Legacy & Tachyon in Megapolis.
Most of the game was just me waiting for Savage Mana to get out and keeping enemy HPs low. DV (and Wraith) fiddled with Gloomy's deck to get at least two relics and all three cultists in play once, and then rotated handlable things while I waited for savage mana. Legacy and Tachyon helped keep things managable between tanking and making villains attacks do zilch.
Once the stars aligned and Savage Mana came out, Haka went to town and took all three relics(poping a 21 card fueled Haka of Battle to take out the last one). And just for funzies, had Tachyon give Gloomy two 19 burst-fueled Light-Speed Barrages. Was a little gun-shy to use Savage Mana, but it resulted in a win and an unlock.
Has anyone unlocked him without Haka?
I don't think Haka is needed specifically for the conditions, he just makes it easier to achieve a relic victory.
Got the unlock. Legacy, Fanatic, D. Visionary, Wraith, Haka vs Gloomweaver in Insula Primalis. 3 relics in Gloomweavers trash at start of villain turn. One of each cultist in play. No zombies or pins in play.
Is everyone playing on advanced?
It also seems like unlocks have H=5
Advanced Gloomy with cultists is too hard for me to have beaten him yet myself.
I did not play on advanced. And I think it's normally 5 heroes because you need a few different rolls filled and all the damage you can muster.
Unlocked.
legancy, ra, s.s.tyclonic, wreath, D.W. Vision. In metropolis.
relic win, only one relic was ever in game play. Two cults in play, damage reduction one, and girl one. No other gloom cards in play , but the third one was in play before, but was destroyed. Damage prevention cults was in play the whole time. Then cults that did damage was in play, then destroy, then girl cults was in play. Both of those cults stayed in play until win. Relic (bag) was only relic every in play.
Did use vision to put all of glooms cards back in his deck. He ran out of cards, so I used vision "brainwash?" To put them all back so I could get all three cults out at a the same time. she did die from doing that.
Was not in advance.
note, did have wreath, give gloom 20 point hit with the card that destroyed her equipment, for fun. Because I thought I was going to win with out the unlock.
Guessing that all three cults need to be in play some time, but not at the same time. Needs to be a relic victory.
good luck.
Failed Unlock
Argent Adept, Grandpa Legacy, Wraith, Ra, Haka in Insula Primalis
When the game ended, all 3 cultists and all 3 relics were in trash, so it isn't JUST all 3 cultists in play at some time and relic victory.
Just got it.
Argent Adept, Grandpa Legacy, Wraith, Ra, Haka in Silver Gulch
When the game ended, had one of each cultist out + 1 zombie, and another zombie cultist chick was in the trash. Relic Victory.
Ok so based on the people who did unlock
1) Relic Victory
2) Encironment doesn't matter
3) heroes May not matter
4) The Strength of the Grave is not required
5) 1-3 Cultists Need to be out
6) pwatson1974 confirmed: Zombies not be needed. Thanks!
Am i missing something? Beat Spite before? Big damage? Can we sue Argent Adept to kill relics?
Zombies aren't needed. I unlocked with just cultists out.
EDITED: Points 3 and 6
Ok so based on the people who did unlock
1) Relic Victory
2) Encironment doesn't matter
3) Multiple users: Heroes used may not matter, but 5 heroes and Haka seems to be a common factor.
4) The Strength of the Grave is not required
5) 1-3 Cultists Need to be out.
6) pwatson1974 confirmed: Zombies not be needed. Thanks!
7) Pins, Familiar and ongoings are not necessary.
Please feel free to update this list! I just think having a single palce can be helpful.
8. Cursed Acolyte is awesome.
9) profane Zealot is awesome. All priase the gloom!
I wonder if it had something to do with 20, or something damage being done at once, with the other factors.
I also used Haka to destroy 3 relics in one turn. No unlock! I hate you!.. I’m sorry I don’t mean that.
Just unlocked him on my stream tonight.
Dark Visionary, Haka, Wraith Classic, SS Tachyon, and Grandpa
Put all three relics under Savage Mana, 1 Cursed Acolyte, 2 each of the other Cultists in play, had Haka get sick all over Gloomweaver’s shoes. Gloomweaver was unflipped. The video will be up on my YouTube archive in the next day or two. The video has just been uploaded.
Just got my unlock.
Not advanced. On iPad
First tried scientific Tachyon, Adept, Haka, and Wraith. Finished with 5 cultists and a couple zombies. No unlock.
Added Legacy next game and won with 4 cultists in play.
The first game, I Adepted two relics, and killed the third, and the second I Tachyoned two, one came back, killed it again, and killed the last one. Not sure if it’s relevant.
I wonder if re-destroying relics (which Haka does) could be important to the unlock. Probably not, but most (all?) of the unlocks I've seen involved Haka.
I did not redestroy relics to unlock Spite (just the one kill on each) though Haka was on my team.
When I unblocked, I only destroyed one relic the rest where put in trash by scientific Tachyon. Did not have Haka on team.
Didn't unlock.
1) Killed Spite with Razor in Rook City.
2) Went after Gloomweaver immediatley with a team of 5.
3) Relic win, with all dudes in trash. No unlock.
I think ot has something to do with what's left in play during the relic win.
Hmmmm...Is it possible that you need to 'kill' all three relics on the same turn? As in all three have to be put in the villain trash in the same turn/round? It's quite possible I'm wrong, but best to cover all our bases, right?
Definitely not, I did not do this.
Unlocked!!
3 heroes Legacy, SS Tachyon, Tempest
Relic win
Tomb if Anubis: only Anubis was out.
EDITED: 3 cultists in play (one of each)
No other cards
I think unlocking him requires (H) cultists in play with all 3 relics in the trash.
I’ll get the image when I have proper access with my iPad.
I think I unlocked with only 2 cultists in play.
Hmm… How many zombies? Can you remember?
Definitely no zombies
Also, I was wrong. I had three cultists in play.
How many heroes? 3? Please tell me 3!
No idea, sorry. didn't note that down.
No problem for me. I unlocked the bastard. Doing my best to help others!
For my unlock H=5. Three cultists in play and no zombies.
Failed unlock attempt:
Team: Argent Adept, Grandpa Legacy, Super Scientific Tachyon, Visionary
Environment: Megalopolis
Victory: Relics in trash
I got Tachyon to drop two of the three relics in the trash with Experiment and used Argent Adept's Cedistic Dissonant to destroy the third. Gloomweaver had two cultists (Chosen Disciple and Cursed Acoylte) and Sable Pin in play, with the third cultist and 5 zombies in the trash.
Got the unlock, in a similar way to UXM266.
Legacy, S. S. Tachyon and Tempest, but in the Realm of Discord, defeated Gloomweaver via a relic victory. Three cultists were in play, nothing else.
I could be wrong, but it looks like they might have patched this out. I've played a few games with known unlocks on my Android Tablet (which I had to re-install to fix a bug), and I'm not seeing this line anymore. Furthermore, I just freed up Spite: Agent of Gloom on my Steam copy, and it didn't have this line either.
I think the reason we haven't "unlocked" this yet is not taking into account previous actions. Thus, my guess is:
After defeating a flipped Spite, defeat Gloomweaver via a relic victory, with at least 2 cultists out.
I am not sure that I have beaten a flipped Spite. I did, however, unlock the varient last night. I sent all of the relics to the trash in the same round with Haka, having all three cultists out with nothing else. Legacy, Wraith, Haka, Dark Visionary, Tempest.
Having had to re unlock everything, this failed just now
All three cultists in play, relic victory, in Insula, with AAdept, Fanatic, Ra, Dark Vis, and Wraith. All three relics were killed by Adept with his destroy an instrument destruction.
Spite has not been beaten yet, which could very well be an issue.
Just unlocked it. Argent Adept, Grandpa Legacy, SS Tachyon, and Dark Visonary in Megalopolis
Relic victory, Gloomweaver had all three cultists in play, with two copies of Chosen Disciple, and a Zombie in play. I used a combination of SS Tachyon and Dark Visionary (with AA and Grandpa Legacy for extra power usage) to basically drop his entire deck into the trash so none of the relics ever saw play.
I unlocked it as well.
Spite has been beaten. Gloomweaver has been beaten both by relic loss and by damage (both non flipped and flipped).
Gloomy had his deck milled into the trash while maneuvering cultists to be ready to be force-played by SS Tachyon working with Dark Visionary, given power draws by Argent Adept and Grandpa Legacy. Not my play strategy - good tip, Shed! Four heroes, not Advanced. No Strength of the Grave. Megalopolis (but others report other locales so not important I suspect).
My guess on conditions:
The three unique cultists in play (uninjured?) with three relics in trash victory.
With Legacy? I can't find a report where Legacy isn't on the team.
Looks to be:
If someone can do an unlock without Legacy (or one of his variants) on the team that would resolve condition 4, but all unbugged unlocks with teams given here have had Legacy on them.
The only bug was that Spite: Agent of Gloom could incorrectly be unlocked when GloomWeaver is destroyed.
Step one is definitely not required. I had only faced Spite twice on my file, once on normal (win) and once on Advanced (lost), and both times were before IR released.
I tried to unlock twice, first time: Greatest Legacy, Dark Visionary, Absolute Zero, Wraith and Haka in Megalopolis. Relic victory with 4 cultists out,all three types, no unlock. Thought about it for a while, then beat The Matriarch, (the only one I hadn't before) then went back. Same team, only Rook City Wraith this time to get Rooftop combat out quick. Relic victory with 5 cultists out and got the unlock. Could the condition be after defating all other villains (so far) beat Gloomweaver with a Relic victory with at least 3 (or H) cultists out. Legacy may be needed on team, (not sure).
Well, we can verify now that while they DID release the codes, they did not reveal the unlock conditions, so we're gunna have to keep working on this.
Given the amount fo time that's gone by, I'm gonna go ahead and suggest that y'all are unlikely to get the exact conditions on this one without looking at log files -- both of successful attempts, and attempts that you thought might be, but didn't work. There is relevant data about this unlock that is often failing to be reported in simple descriptions of either successful or failed attempts.
Well..
Let's look at the Cultists.
Anyone have out less than 3? (I had three out.)
And if you had three or less of them out, how many had damage on them (I had no damage on my three.)
Let's look at Legacy.
Anyone not have him and Unlock (not Glitched somehow)?
I am largely shrugging and clueless about what I did that wasn't an unlock condition, as Alexx says, but here's hopin'.
Woohoo!
That is a ridiculously convoluted series of steps.
If you were watching the Stream last night you would know that Christopher is the one who comes up with these unlock conditions.
And that's an easier version than the original.
Speaking of Streams, did the Handelabra one go up?
Jeremy is the one who usually posts the videos and he is at conference in San Fran. I would expect by next week at worst for him to post it.
No Voodoo Pin?
Yeah. To be fair, when I won, I had no pins at all in play. But jeesh. Never would've gotten that.
Weird that Legacy happened to be on all successful unlocks. A few players had no Legacy, failed it, added Legacy, got it-- what a huge coincidence. Pins! It was the pins!
Ah well. Good efforts, guys!
I didn't think I had Legacy (my post suggested team did not matter), but I couldn't be 100% sure.
I just spent 2 and half hours setting up the unlock condition and then didn't recieve it when I beat him. Going into the final round I had all 3 relics out, I had a Profane Zealot and a Chosen Disciple on the board, and all of the pins were under Savage Mana. I destroyed all 3 relics and then killed Gloomweaver and nothing. And yes, I had beaten Spite previously, so that does figure in. I'm really upset right now... Can the pins not be under SM? Nothing else counts those things as in play, why would this?
You have to defeat Gloomweaver by his alternative win condition of having the three relics in his trash. Destroying him after putting the relics in the trash will not accomplish the unlock.
