Orero's Dungeon Overhauls

Orero's Dungeon Overhauls (ODO) is a mod that breathes new life into forgotten content. A love letter to varied and dynamic gameplay. A fresh take on a proven formula.

It's no secret that the Exiled Lands are littered with abandoned and obsolete content. What if it all had a purpose again? What if finding an armor recipe was something to be excited about? What if your religious worship yielded powerful items for your trouble? What if you could build yourself a unique playstyle that reflects your own tastes? What if the dungeons were a true test of your skill?

Wonder no longer, Exile, because ODO adds all this and more. This mod is much more than a simple numbers tweak. Explore the features and see why ODO will enrich your Conan experience:

All Exiled Lands dungeons have been rebalanced to present a challenge at level 60. Enemies are tougher and have new abilities, bosses have new mechanics unlike any you've seen before in Conan Exiles. Some dungeons have new bosses as well.

Most endgame weapons and armors have new on-hit effects or set bonuses that change the way the game plays. Shake hands with the devil with the Blackheart Blade, shroud yourself in a howling blizzard with the Pride of Aesir armor, burn the heretics with the Phoenix-Engraved Sword, gain buffs for hitting rocks with Overlord's Pick of Lunacy, or become briefly immune to weapons with the Yoggite Skin armor - and that's just to name a few! Each one is lovingly crafted, original in concept, and designed to work with the others in an ecosystem of synergies and counters.

Press the attack with Radiant damage, expose your foes' weaknesses with Entropic damage, shield yourself with Astral damage, or harness the four elements with Primal damage. Find the new Amp and Resist stats on legendary/vault armor pieces and create an equipment build that's all your own.

ODO includes an entirely new sorcery tree: Destruction. Hunt down and enthrall X'Harazul, Armageddon's Apostle. Tear the secrets from his mind and use them in battle! Conjure gouts of fire with the Destruction staff to burn your enemies. Trap your foes in a cage of fire, summon earthquakes and firestorms, lash your enemies with a fire whip, and more.

ODO is fully documented (link further down) and also features clear, concise descriptions of each effect in that item's long description (the 'Info' button). It's designed to be easy to understand, easy to learn, and offer clear visual and audible feedback to the player when the new effects are in action. There are new Journeys for each dungeon and each religion that will guide you through some of the new features and explain how to make use of the new item effects.

ODO is designed to be a good time in PVP. The ecosystem of synergies and counters ensures there's no one 'meta' build, allowing a variety of playstyles to flourish and ensuring no two encounters will ever be quite the same. The power of items and effects is balanced thoughtfully and proactively.

ODO offers many options to fine-tune the gameplay experience to your specific needs. Individual players can choose to turn the special FX on or off and admins can select a whole host of different rules. Add a stamina regen penalty to rolling, disable Q-lock for PVP only while keeping it for PVE, adjust the healing of Glutton for Punishment, and more - or keep it all as Funcom intended. If you're running other mods that increase player power then you can scale the damage and health of my bosses to remain challenging. The choice is in your hands.

The config menu can be accessed from the emote wheel or from the escape menu in-game.

So far only one major conflict has been discovered: if you are also running OmegaCellarBoost or DungeonBossBoost then many of the dungeon bosses won't have the extra mechanics I've added. This is due to the way those mods implement their changes. The author of those mods has been made aware of this and only changes on their end can fix it. If any other conflict is found please reach out and discuss it with me. We can work together to find a solution that allows them to both coexist.

ODO pairs well with AOC and/or EEWA, and has optional scaling to allow it to remain relevant on a server with deep endgame mods like Underworld, Omega, or VAM. Without scaling it still offers alternative early-game paths and numerous useful utility effects to shake up the experiences of those mods' endgames.

ODO is designed primarily for the Exiled Lands. All of the weapons and armors are fully functional on other maps such as Siptah or Savage Wilds, but most of the bosses either won't exist or won't have their arena hazards. I'm interested in eventually supporting other maps but the closed-source nature of Siptah and other mods makes it very difficult. I appreciate any suggestions for where on the other maps the bosses should go. Compatibility with Isle of Tir-na-nOg or Grim is much better since those map are technically a reskinned Exiled Lands with all the same dungeons in all the same places.

Hard edits:

It also modifies the gameplay tags of the following NPCs through the same method:
