This can create a situation where the only ability the Miller can use is The Reaping, and he will use it twice in one round, which can be very painful for the party. The Miller has fairly long cooldowns on all of his abilities except for The Reaping. Additionally, the hero with Mildred's Locket takes no damage from The Reaping, and deals +40% extra damage to the Miller. Equipping it will have the unique effect of giving the Miller a new ability, Immortal Beloved, which debuffs himself by removing his inherent PROT for a short time. Lastly, an important note about this battle is the existence of the trinket Mildred's Locket (obtained from interacting with the husk of the Miller's wife, Mildred, found before the battle). It is very unique in that it will actually heal a hero's stress, while giving the Miller a modest heal and a short buff for +15% PROT. The Miller also has the rarely-used ability The Harvest, which can only be used if at least one hero has over 50 stress, and the Miller is below 70% health. If it survives for 3 or more turns, it may use The Soil Thaws to revert itself back to a normal Farmhand. It also has a 0-damage attack called Hollow Keening that deals a fair bit of stress and Horror. The Frozen Farmhand will permanently guard the Miller, and disable all guard skills for heroes while it is alive. If a Farmhand is present on the battlefield, the Miller will use Winter's Breath to transform it into a Frozen Farmhand, a unique enemy found only during this battle. The enemies the Miller summons do roll initiatives, and will be able to act as soon as they are summoned.

He can also summon various enemies from the Farmstead with The Master Beckons, including Scarecrows, Sleeper's Heralds, and Farmhands, with a cooldown of 7, 5, and 8 turns, respectively. The Miller has a versatile set of skills, with his most offensive attack being The Reaping, a skill that inflicts heavy AoE damage, especially to heroes in the front.
