darkest dungeon do i have to do the wolves at the door quest when it comes up

Just like every boss-fight in the game, Wolf is pretty cheeseable, but cheesing is not mandatory, just infinitely easier than the alternatives if you want to avoid losses. There's really no point as they will riposte you and respawn anyway, hence MAA is the go-to so he can soak bombs instead. Some people make the mistake of attacking the bomb barrels. You don't absolutely HAVE to use one, but they heavily dampen the impact of bombs and allow you more freedom to manage adds or pump damage into Wolf. Optimally, people have an MAA (a dedicated bomb-soaker) - bombs being the biggest damage threat of the fight.

If you have limited projection, this is a must. Adds aren't the main threat but they are a constant nuisance if you ignore them. Optional methods are to have a squad that can AoE adds and keep Wolf up front.

The longer the fight goes on, the more damage and stress will be done via bombs, adds and screams, so you really need to make sure you can hit him whenever possible (starting at the back ranks) and kill him as soon as possible. Most comps are 'viable' if they have a means of pumping damage onto Wolf.
