Here Be Monsters: Full Release

"In coming to these cursed lands, you are no longer in the realm of the familiar. Ghouls and fiends of every conceivable form skulk and chitter in every shadow, ensnaring the bravest of men and breaking them over their knees into wailing madmen. Our troops may prepare, but they will never be truly ready to face the crawling terrors that plague our estate. You are off the edge of the map, and here be monsters..." - Note from your Ancestor

Here Be Monsters is a series of mods that adds dozens of new enemies and trinkets to Darkest Dungeon. The enemies have varied mechanics and diverse movesets that bring added challenge to your game. Each enemy included in the mod includes at least one rare trinket that they may leave on death, with minibosses having more.

Note: This compilation excludes the Ectoplasm and Gargoyle tweaks included as part of the mod series, to avoid compatibility issues. Links to both can be found at the bottom of this page. This mod only adds new content to the game, and therefore should be fully compatible with any other mod.

• Two new enemies and one new miniboss for all four vanilla dungeons!
  
• One rare endgame miniboss that can spawn in any dungeon!
  
• A rare new Brigand enemy!
  
• Rare unique trinkets that can drop from each enemy in the mod!
