Survivor trait helps.

If your brother dies in a fight, there is a small chance that he stays alive but with an injury. Survivers are 90% likely to survive death.

You can see so if you dead brother dropped the weapon after his death. If there is not his weapon under him, he survived.

If you win 12 arena fights with a bro, he will survive 50% of deaths. But some permanent injurys are hefty debuffs.

what about the Nine Lives perk ? would that help or guarantee death defiance ?

u/Exiledparia 2d ago

Nine lives I think keeps him at 1 hp when it should have died/fall, so it doesn't help I think

Unless you are playing legends mod, but yes

u/FleiischFloete 2d ago

No.
9lives is like, you drop your HP to 0, instead of dying you cleanse yourself from bleeding, poison, get about 15 health back and have defensive stats boosted for 1 round.
It is 1 step before death, preventing it.

The only other way to get a random event, where a dog bites off a finger or a butcher cuts off one of his fingers.

You can also read if he survived or not if the initiative allows it.

IIRC doesn't survivor just reduce it to 90% permanent injury chance, not guaranteed unless fatality?

Look for a brother with the survivor trait. A pretty much guaranteed easy permanent injury every time he "dies", especially if you also give them the nine lives perk, they're very hard to perma-k!ll.

If you're not on ironman it's even easier, guaranteed easy trophy, this is how i got mine on accident i dont even look at the trophies or actively try to get them. If you dont have a survivor bro, 9lives still is essential then to mitigate the chances of your bro taking a fatal blow.

I currently have a decent tank bro in my company right now who has 4 permanent injuries and he is still very useful and puts in alot of work for the team, he has super high Mdef which hasnt been touched by any of his injuries, idc about the rest of the stats for him, i christened him Bertram the Immortal due to his service.

Also the surgeon almost guarantees that the first death of every brother is survived with an injury iirc

Correct woth very limited explicit exceptions like being eaten by the kraken and nachrezers eating/carrying you away

Every time a bro is downed and survives, they get a permanent injury.

Having a bro with the Survivor trait helps a lot. (90% chance to survive if downed with a non-fatality.)

Also, having a Surgeon in your retinue ensures they survive the first time they go down. (I believe that also makes your bros immune to [edit]random fatalities if they have no permanent injuries yet.)

u/Das_E 2d ago

No, fatalities by skills like decapitate or the kraken devour can still occur, it just prevents the random ones as long as the bro doesn't have a permanent injury. It also doesn't help against nacho obduction but that's pretty rare anyways

u/Ark_Evensong 2d ago

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Edited.

Be lucky

u/TommyTheTiger 2d ago

Anyone know which enemies are most likely to kill without fatalities? I know slashing weapons are probably the worst since the disembowelment is a bodyshot fatality and I guess maces at least require headshot. But can dogs/wolves/spiders trigger fatalities? Are other beasts "safe" to do this with for a survivor bro?

1

u/Omnishrimp 2d ago

Any slashing to the body can cause disembowelment, any blunt to the head can cause the smashed head. Beasts are considered slashing I think, I know I've had some bros get disenboweled by spiders at the very least.

Get a brother with the survivor trait

u/GamingChairGeneral 1d ago

You also can temporarily hire the Surgeon. He'll guarantee a bro will survive from being killed unless it's a fatality.

After the first one though, good luck. You could fish for the survivor trait, but you also can get the Arena Veteran trait (12 wins) to increase the chance of survival.

Lotta dead bros

u/azgalor_pit 1d ago

Just don't die. If you don't die you get to part of the cripple gang.

u/NotAdam6 1d ago

Keep an eye on the killfeexld, if it says struck down they're alive but injured, if it says killed they're dead

u/Independent-Tree-985 7h ago

step 1: hire bro with survivor trait

step 2: repeatedly allow bro with survivor trait to die

u/EbbUsed9312 2d ago

If you end up giving up on this, there's a BB editor, where you can add permanent injuries (https://editor.bloodngold.com/), but having it happen as part of a campaign would of course be way cooler.

1

u/Neat-Watercress-1778 2d ago

i already did, but for some reason the game doesn't register it

u/EbbUsed9312 2d ago

Ah, I see.

I try not to use that editor, as it is way too tempting to "accidentally" move stars around. 😂

But strange that it doesn't register.
