The Menagerie

Description
The Menagerie is an alternate act 1 themed around beasts and mages. Once the stronghold of a cabal of mages who experimented with the boundaries of life itself, the Menagerie is now overrun by their twisted creations. Together with the Elementarium (act 2) and the Abyss (acts 3 and 4), it is part of a full set of alternate acts for Slay the Spire.

My aim with the Menagerie to create a unique experience that is faithful to base game but explores new design space and creates interesting choices. You will find the full set of what you expect in an act: new encounters, new elites, new bosses, new events, new relics, and new cards. The Menagerie has a balance of new ideas and fights, events, and relics that are inspired by the base game -- but always with a twist to make it interesting and new.
  • Explore ruins once ruled by a cabal of mages!
  • Encounter their twisted creations -- and the mages themselves!
  • Commune with beasts, steal from spiders, and make deals with mages!
  • Gain the knowledge of powerful spells!
  • Hunt down the former master of this place in his dark tower!
  • Fight the great beasts who have fought to the top of the food chain!

Go forth and explore the Menagarie!

The Menagerie has full Bestiary integration. With Bestiary running, you can Shift+Right+Click enemies to see an overlay explaining their moves. If you like modded acts but want the same knowledge and insight into enemy move patterns as in the base game, this is for you!

@Miger-Jack: I'm not sure why Together in Spire does that, so I don't know. I would guess it has something to do with Together in Spire making copies of the powers enemies have, so you'd want to look at the code for the Suneater and its powers.

If you wanted to try fixing it, you'd need to write a patch or compile a new version of Together in Spire and/or Menagerie (you can't edit the compiled .class files directly, if that's what you meant). That may be tricky if you don't have experience making Slay the Spire mods.

One thing you could try is asking about this on the Together in Spire Discord. Other people might have run into issues like this or have suggestions for how to solve it.

Hi i have a question.
I would like to nerf the suneater as in the together in spire mod he is way to hard as he gets X-Times more charges to how many players are damaging him and and it builds stacks way to fast.
What part of the class file do i have to edit to nerf his charge stacking?
Great mod btw.

Hi I'd just like to say how great your act mods are, they must take a lot of work and really add replayability. And for them to still be updated and working after so long. Great job dude.

@dEVoRaTriX_LuX: Thanks for confirming. That's a bug in Chaofan Mod due to it trying to modify how monsters behave for one of its relics, without accounting for modded enemies. Unless that bug is going to be fixed, I'd recommend turning Chaofan Mod off.

@modargo it's the Chaofan mod i'm positive of this

@modargo I have the fourth key mod maybe that's it?

@dEVoRaTriX_LuX: Some other mod you have is likely messing things up -- I haven't seen anyone else run into that crash and it isn't something that would normally happen. Try turning off any mods you're running that do unusual things or try to modify the whole game. Either that, or your download got corrupted somehow.

Overtuned compared to vanilla act 1, but fun otherwise.
