The Magnificent Absorbing Blob!

The Magnificent Absorbing Blob! – A New Threat in Darkest Dungeon

Prepare yourselves, brave adventurers, for a chilling new addition to the horrors that lurk within the Darkest Dungeon. “The Magnificent Absorbing Blob!” mod introduces a terrifying new mechanic that will test your squad’s resilience and resourcefulness like never before. Forget merely chipping away at your foes; now, you must contend with a foe that literally swallows your allies whole!

A Sticky Situation

This mod imbues the Large Ectoplasm with a horrifying new ability: hero capture. Imagine the scene – your veteran crusader, in the thick of battle, is suddenly engulfed by the gelatinous mass of an Ectoplasm. Not only does this remove a valuable party member from the fight, but the Ectoplasm remains a potent offensive threat, capable of striking at your remaining heroes while their comrade is imprisoned within its viscous form. This ability is present at all levels of the Ectoplasm, ensuring that no encounter is truly safe.

When the Blob Takes Damage…

There’s a sliver of hope, however. Damage dealt to the Ectoplasm while it holds a hero captive will now contribute to reducing the monster’s total health. This means that while the situation is dire, focusing fire on the ensnaring beast is a viable, and indeed necessary, strategy to free your captured companion. It adds a desperate layer of tactical decision-making to what were once more straightforward encounters.

Key Features of the Mod:

• Large Ectoplasms gain the ability to capture heroes.
• Captured heroes are removed from active combat but can be freed by damaging the Ectoplasm.
• Ectoplasms can still attack while holding a hero captive.
• Damage taken by the Ectoplasm while a hero is captured contributes to its overall health loss.
• The capture ability is active on Ectoplasms at all levels.

Consequences and Compatibility

Be warned, this mod overwrites an existing monster, meaning it can interact with other mods that modify Weald monsters. This could lead to unexpected and potentially devastating synergies, adding an extra layer of challenge for veteran players. Furthermore, any mod that changes the campaign-level Large Ectoplasm will either overwrite this mod or be overwritten by it. However, it should function alongside class mods that utilize monsters to guard heroes.

Add “The Magnificent Absorbing Blob!” to your Darkest Dungeon experience and discover if you have what it takes to face down this truly monstrous new threat.
