[h3]A moment of valor shines brightest against a backdrop of despair.[/h3]

Here are this weeks mods:

The Herald by Badger

The Herald is based on applying debuffs and status effects, alongside supporting their party from the front. Alongside 10 new class trinkets, not suffering from death’s door, and a unique affliction, the Herald should be a welcome addition to a party.

Bone Courtier Class by ooh ah, Uncanny Gemstar

With wine running as freely as blood and daggers gleaming bright in the darkness the courtier is sure to spread madness around any confrontation. With his assortment of ales and trickery the Courtier is motivated to drive out the fiends and take back what was his all too long ago, even if it means his own demise.

The courtier is a fragile back line stress healer and support hero who is also capable of dealing significant damage to most enemy ranks. Much like his hostile counterparts the Courtier thrives in the darkness, and uses this power to help his allies sustain themselves when the torch runs low.

The Bone Courtier Class Mod includes all new artwork, animations, and sound.

Week 45: Mod Showcase

[h3]Ignorance of your enemy and of yourself will invariably lead to defeat.[/h3]

Here are this weeks mods:

Here Be Monsters: The Fungal Satyr by Shay, Adon, Uncanny Gemstar

Here Be Monsters is a series of mods that will add new enemies to Darkest Dungeon. This instalment introduces the Fungal Satyr, a corrupted fungal zombie like the legions of others in the Weald. Unlike most, though, these monstrosities are nimble and deceptive, skittering madly about the battlefield and ambushing unwitting adventurers with their blighted claws. Appearing in Veteran dungeons and higher, the dreaded Satyrs will pose a new, troubling challenge for those foolish enough to wander into the Weald…

The Drowned Consumer by Uncanny Gemstar

"The slithering eels of the cove have grown fat on the bodies of drowned sailors..."

This mod adds the Drowned Consumer monster to the cove, a robust foe who may prove more deadly than they first appear. With large deadly teeth and powerful jaws, and a collection of bones picked clean and gnawed viciously among its knotted coils, they may assault the tender bodies of scaleless humans and their tender minds with the horror of their grave stockpile. However, while surprisingly large-bodied, their scales are small and weak compared to the other fish-folk, making them somewhat more susceptible to the bleeding they so readily inflict on others. If one is lucky, they may leave behind their malformed fang, which is well suited to cutting into waterlogged bodies to draw blood.

Week 43 & 44: Mod Showcase

[h3]The sin is not in being outmatched, but in failing to recognize it.[/h3]

Happy New Year! Here are this weeks and last weeks mods:

Shadow of the White Vvulf by ooh ah, TerkMC, Woona, BattedMH(NS) , BEAN CONSUMER

"Though the pack is dispersed, mourn not for it's leader. For the spirit of the hunt never stays dead for long."

The White Vvulf is a Darkest (Lv 6.) Bossfight that takes place in the Farmstead. This boss fight will test your mettle, you will most likely not succeed on your first attempt. There is no punishment for retreating during this fight. It is highly recommend to bring a hero with a stun ability.

The Exterminator by Comrade, Snorlaxxo, 54NBB

A professional in disease control and prevention, the Exterminator was summoned to the Hamlet to take care of a seemingly mundane rat infestation, only to find that the corruption in the sewer reaches far beyond the material plane. Bounded by contract and his own code of duty, the Exterminator is here to stay until the root of the infestation has been removed and the ground cleansed of its remains.

The Exterminator is a mid rank offensive support with a niche of anti DoT and disease, being able to ward his entire team with great resistance while disrupting the enemy with a variety of debuff, disruption and stun. Though his direct damage isn’t great, over time, the accumulated blight damage of his fumigator can wear down an entire team at once, and the weakened can be finished off with a stomp of gun stock.

Diseasy Does It by Dies Horribly

As it turns out, while you and your loyal band of doomed adventurers were toiling for the sake of the Hamlet, an infinitesimal evil was brewing under your feet. Pestilence and malaise have always been a perilous aspect of this hard-knock life we live, so it was only a matter of time before unfamiliar plagues from forgotten corners of the land swept through our beleaguered community.

This gameplay mod adds 1 new quirk, as well as 20 new diseases for your unfortunate heroes to catch sick with. It also enables Sky Taint to be contracted by random means. The diseases I added are intended to mesh elegantly with the ones already present, while also spicing up both the variety and the danger of encountering illness.

Vinny’s Blackest Enemy Overhaul by vinnyp316, Cryptix, Chassé, 54NBB, Woona

After countless cycles of bloodshed and death, the heart of the world has been corrupted beyond any sane human’s wildest imaginations. The types of these creatures have morphed, planting and harvesting core components of their being. The brains of these creatures have been lobotomized and refashioned, giving them intelligence far beyond what was once had. And of most import, the flesh and soul of many of the strongest creatures on this plane have been shifted, giving them powers beyond compare, and taking away just as much. It is time for the true test of mettle, the final cycle. Welcome... to the Blackest Overhaul.

Every boss in the game has been tweaked, every enemy slid in a more interesting direction, and moves of these foul creatures have been given a tune up. The changes are so numerous it would be impossible for them to go over everything, so make sure to check the full mod page!

The Philomath by Rehtaelle, MoonKanin, 54NBB, PhallseAnghell

A woman commanding forces beyond her own comprehension comes to the estate, seeking answers to questions she cannot comprehend. Will she regain control of her life, or does something insidious await this broken soul?

The Abyssinker by ZIMIK_w, Yilin

“No more pain, sleep forever.”

He was a night watchman guarding a lighthouse on the seashore, but overheard of a plot by anchored pirates. To silence him, the captain tied him to the deck and put him to death for questioning about what he had heard.
It was on this day that the curse of the ancestors manifested itself with unparalleled power, and the greedy pirates were eternally punished, and he, who was innocent, was also implicated.
After the shipwreck, he slept on the cold bottom of the ocean for many years. In the end, he miraculously woke up, only to become unholy like the crew around him. But unlike them, he still retained his humanity, he took what he needed from the sunken pirate ship; his cloak was the original pirate ship's sails, also took the first mate's machete and the bow light, he returned to the bay, and began to enact his own revenge.
