Introduction
Welcome to one of many mods that we've brought to Darkest Dungeon! If you don't know us, we're Marvin Seo and Clair de Lune. We've helped balance Darkest Dungeon for Color of Madness' release and strive to create high quality mods that feel as if they belong in the base game. With that in mind, we want to make sure that this disclaimer is clear:

Incompatibilities
This mod is not compatible with any other mod that adds or removes curios from the Weald.

Mod Introduction
Ancient graveyards stur within the Weald, and an ominous threat presents itself. The spirit of a woman twisted in anguish, the Banshee lingers amidst the graves of her lost family. Should anyone disturb these graves, the apparition will present itself and resurrect her departed loved ones to fight you. The Banshee is a formidable foe, but should you defeat her, the treasures buried with her family will be yours for the taking.

What Does This Mod Add?
This mod adds the Banshee, a miniboss exclusive to the Weald that is summoned through a new curio called "Mass Grave". The curio is very rare, and the Banshee will summon her corrupted family to face you. Defeating the Banshee will grant you one of her unique trinkets, with the Veteran and Champion variants each dropping a Trophy trinket that can be used together for a powerful set bonus.

Trinkets
You can see the effects of the trinkets dropped by the Banshee here:

does this work with levels 2 and 4

This boss is insanely unbalanced. Can't imagine what would have happened if I didn't get extremely lucky and pop 2/4 virtues. Does she really need three phases, each with their own mini bosses, each that can move multiple times a turn, each that can heal themselves, each with that high protection, and each with a horror dealer? Why did you make this?

does this mod need Marvin Seo Mods: Shared Assets?
tatartu109 Feb 14 @ 12:44pm 
Bro, are mass grave that rare? I go the the weald with this mod on 12 times already and no mass grave to summon this banshee. let's say that I see Shambler shrine in weald 2 times and still doesn't see mass grave.

or maybe I do mod order wrong, you need to put shared asset on top of banshee mod right?

I've never seen it go into a 40+ turn fight even on my longer attempts. You might be exaggerating. imo each phase is well balanced.

Just make each phase it's own separate mini-boss. There is no need for this thing to be in one 40+ turn fight.
timmyofman Dec 2, 2023 @ 5:00pm 
This so called "Mini-Boss" would be much better if it was only that first phase, mixed with attacks from phase two.

Just beat the Banshee for the first time, I oughtta say, beautiful mod, highly recommend it, very much in the spirit of the vanilla game.

I ran into this in a short apprentice level dungeon. This is blatantly unfair at that level. Constant horror, guards so you can't kill them effectively, and 3 phases with no warning and no break. I had an easier time accidentally summoning the shambler! I downloaded this simply because of the names and rep of the creator (love the classes) thinking it wouldn't show up in early game dungeons. It caused a TPK in a party with two healers with stress healing. This was impossible. Maybe at least put more of a warning on the curio activation (not that my auto-gravedigging character had any choice)? Or better yet, make it an actual boss with a mission and everything so you know what you're getting into, and can prepare. I'm sorry, but that was not "Losing is fun". That was malicious.

This boss is an absolutely outstanding achievement in visual and fight design. It's brilliant. No complaints there. But it does feel a tiny bit overtuned. One of my strongest teams ran into it, at full health, nearly no stress and with a full set of camping buffs up.

It was still an absolute slaughter. This boss is harder than any vanilla boss, and that doesn't feel right for a randomly appearing curio boss that can be auto-triggered by quirks (which the shambler, notably, cannot).

Some kind of adjustment feels appropriate here. Perhaps mandate an item to activate the boss curio (something common, like food or a torch) because you simply stand no chance at all without a -lot- of prior preparation, and even if you succeed any prior mission objective is likely to have to be abandoned.
