Embark on a New Darkest Dungeon Journey with The Profligates on the Old Road

For those seeking a fresh and challenging start in Darkest Dungeon, The Profligates on the Old Road mod offers a unique pathway. This mod is part of a series designed to provide players with a pre-assembled, balanced team of highly regarded modded heroes, united under a distinct party name to kickstart their adventure. This particular installment celebrates the innovative work of the mod creator Muscarine, presenting an entirely new roster of adventurers for your perilous expeditions.

The Profligates: A Unique Starting Quatuor

Upon commencing a new save with this mod, you will find yourself on the Old Road accompanied by a formidable group known as “The Profligates.” This carefully curated party comprises four distinct and compelling modded heroes:

  • The Fawn
  • The Offering
  • The Tusk
  • The Hollow

This initial setup bypasses the need for starting provisions, as the early stages of your journey are designed to be navigable with this specialized team. Furthermore, upon your arrival in the Hamlet, the Stage Coach will present you with randomized heroes, deviating from the game’s classic offerings. This design choice is specifically intended for players who prefer to forgo the vanilla classes and immerse themselves in a modded experience from the very beginning.

A Greater Challenge Awaits

It is crucial to note that The Profligates are designed to be more demanding to manage than the standard starting heroes. Players must be prepared for their unique mechanics and potential pitfalls. For instance, the Fawn’s bleeding capabilities necessitate careful management; bringing bandages is highly advised to prevent self-inflicted fatal wounds. Similarly, the Hollow’s affinity for darkness means that a lack of torches could drastically alter the course of your missions, potentially plunging them into an even more treacherous torchless state. This mod truly shines on a fresh save file, offering a distinct and challenging early-game experience.
