Black Souls – Red Hood [ES]

Unleash the Red Hood: A Dark Twist on Don’t Starve Together

Prepare to encounter a familiar fairy tale character in a whole new, and considerably more dangerous, light within the world of Don’t Starve Together. The “Black Souls – Red Hood” mod introduces a compelling new survivor, Red Hood, and her loyal, yet distinctly altered, companion, Poro. This mod injects fresh gameplay mechanics and items, offering a unique challenge and aesthetic for seasoned survivors.

Meet Your New Companion: Poro, The Forest Guardian

Summoned through the enchanted “Little Red Riding Hood” Talebook, Poro is more than just a pet; he’s a formidable ally.

• With 500 health and a respectable 30 damage, Poro can hold his own in combat.
• He passively regenerates health, bolstered by a special protective enchantment that limits damage taken per hit to 30.
• Poro possesses the unique ability to actively taunt enemies, drawing their aggression away from you.
• He can also assist in gathering resources, capable of felling trees and mining ores.
• Command Poro to follow or wait, offering tactical flexibility in your survival.
• Upon death, Poro requires a full day to be resummoned, making his survival crucial.
• An interesting, albeit currently non-functional, drop upon his demise is the Rabbit Clock, with a 1% chance.
• Poro can traverse water bodies, ensuring he can keep pace with you across any terrain.

The Survivor: Red Hood Arrives

Red Hood herself is a force to be reckoned with, boasting a balanced stat spread of 200 Health, 200 Hunger, and 200 Sanity, coupled with an enhanced base movement speed of 1.1. Her unique traits offer distinct advantages:

Red Hood’s Unique Advantages

• Warm Hood: Experience increased resistance to the chilling cold.
• Emotional Apathy: Mitigate incoming damage slightly and gain a substantial 50% resistance to sanity-draining effects.
• Starting Arsenal: Begin your journey equipped with a knife that can be upgraded to more potent weapons.
• Storyteller’s Craft: Red Hood can craft and utilize the new Talebooks, opening up powerful magical possibilities.

New Items and Abilities

The mod introduces essential new items, including the Talebook series. These spellbooks consume sanity upon use but grant potent effects. Among them is the “Requiem” spell, offering a temporary reprieve from death itself with 7 uses. Red Hood’s progression involves upgrading her starting knife, with “Tragedy” and “Red Tragedy” offering increased damage and movement speed bonuses. The Talebooks themselves provide powerful, sanity-costing abilities, from damage buffs and healing to area-of-effect damage and crowd control. This mod brings a dark, fairy-tale-inspired layer of gameplay to Don’t Starve Together, challenging you to adapt and survive with these new tools and a transformed, yet familiar, character.
