Guide for Bloodmon Difficulty and Mods worth using

[Kayderim]

Any detailed guides i could use to play at Bloodmoon (Bosses / Areas / Gear and etc..) ? And it would be nice if there was a MOD that helped with Curios, like telling which itens you could use to interact with the chests you find at the game and stuff.

@Kayderim:

Wiki can help you with curios. Also, if you've used an item on a curio before, it'll actually have a mark on it in your inventory indicating that it has a use, the symbol on the mark gives a rough idea of what it will do. The idea being that if you were doing a blind playthrough, you only need to waste a provision item once on a curio to find out it has no effect, you'll see it marked with a red X the next time around.

Your main issue is the time and death limit so you can't really afford pointless deaths, at all.

The Stygian week limit is actually generous and even more generous in Bloodmoon. Just as a rough rule of thumb, if you have a party of L6es capable of handling Vvulf and containing an MAA you're well on your way to a set of teams that will finish the game.

You just can't afford to outright waste time.

Bosses are wasting time unless they have something you want like their trophy trinket. I try to always get Prophet's Eye and Vvulf's Tassel and nearly anything else I don't care much about. I skip them unless the mission has a really good trinket in it. Boss missions often do and boss missions are, frankly, usually easier than a comparable Long mission for similar experience, especially when you hit the Champion levels. The boss fights are usually more cut and dry than the slightly more random encounters of a normal mission and can be done quickly.

But I rarely kill a boss solely for the sake of it. There just isn't time to mess around much.

I do the two Farmstead missions to unlock Endless and a couple more to get a couple of the cheaper excellent trinkets like Broken Key, Ashen Distillation, maybe Antiquarian's if I am going to be grinding. Maybe one of the middle-tier crystal trinkets for someone intended for a DD final level.

I use Courtyard bosses solely for resetting infection and in Bloodmoon I've got to the end having only killed the Baron. Their trophy trinkets are complete trash anyway other than the Baron's which is merely okay. If I can avoid it (i.e. my entire DD team for whatever next mission there is is not infected), I just let infection accrue.

Thanks for the tip

"You just can't afford to outright waste time."

Why not? since i bought all DLCs so i wanted to explore everything on the game (especially the blue land thing).. Is there a time limit on the game now that gives me a game over if i don't complete the game or what?

I'm was planing on doing a youtube walkthrough, so yeah, i will have to kill every boss on the game for people that are having trouble with it, unless it is impossible to do so duo to this time issue

Also, what about the torchless run? Is it still worth doing it? Does critting still remove stress from your party like it did before or are you in completely disadvantage now?

Why not?

Because in Bloodmoon if you run out of time (100 weeks), you instantly lose and it deletes your save file.

I wouldn't do it unless you're already more or less certain you can win on whatever difficulty level you're on. It is a lot less forgiving torchless. If you get crit more, you get crit to DD more, and if you get on DD more, you get on DD and get hit more while on DD, and if that happens, you die more.

Run out of lives and, again, you instantly lose and it deletes your save file.

If you want to enjoy/explore content, bloodmoon is not the right difficulty because of time and death limits. That mode is for people already aquainted with its content.
Altough, you can beat the game and then play the remaining content. Since it's still open after beating the game and it's probably the only way if you want to make a boss guide on that difficulty.

What is this time limit? Do i have to complete the game under certain weeks or else i get a game over?

Like Skinny Pete already said. 100 weeks time to beat the game or you'll get a game over with a save delete.
These limitations: Game over after 16 Hero deaths or 100 weeks pass are not included in the other difficulties but Bloodmoon.

Does this time limit only counts until i finish the bloodmoon quest and it will disappear after that?

If not, how do i disable the bloodmoon difficulty and chose the "hard more" instead?

These limits are active until you beat the final boss in the Darkest Dungeon.
There might be mods that remove the limit if you want to play without it or choose another difficulty.

These limits are active until you beat the Crimson Court final boss The Countess and beat the final boss in the Darkest Dungeon.

Thanks, i'll look for it.

Rush DD and Countess, then you can do the rest in any way you want.

Not true. All you need to beat is the Heart of Darkness to remove the death/time limits.

You're right I made a mistake.I'm sorry for stating something wrong. I change my previous answer to set it right.
