Difficulty is what Darkest Dungeon is predicated on.

That being said, I absolutely loved this add-on. It was filled with a lot of flavor - the story really brought me into the mindset that I am in the position of a nepo-baby ruling my little countryside hamlet with an iron fist. The arc in its totality is so full of flavor, and of course the creature models were stellar !

The actual end-game fight, the one that acts as the climax to this arc, was profoundly difficult.

It definitely had me sweating, literally - but that's what many people sign up for when it comes to Darkest Dungeon. I'll also say that, reading the comments I'd gained a lot of insight into the fight, knew what to prepare for, and at the end of it all ended up having a very good time !

Honestly, I felt like a G E N I U S when I realized that I could use Stun to great effect against these mobs, saving my party from catastrophic failure while gaining these VERY flavourful trinkets that I love so much.

Fight's cool, I just wish there was more balance to it. The friar is NOT something I can damage at all, mostly because it would mean ignoring the ever-building rabble and also trying to hit something that dodges as often as a virago or skiver. Not to mention the insane healing.
Maybe me playing it on bloodmoon didn't help, but I still believe the mod could hope to have some other solutions than to kill the rabble, as was mentioned earlier. The cleric has a lot of prot and gets 28 regen on a whim, and the friar can delete one of my guys while stealing all that deleted health. The rabble is the only thing close to being killable, and that's only because their dodge is moderately high instead of insanely high.
Sick mod aside from that, though.

i got crash at boss room…
i try mod list top this mod, but not fix.

if anyone know the reason, please tell me

It's funny, because while I was doing the fight, I was thinking that I really wish I could be fighting the friar instead of being railroaded into beating on the crowd, since the friar seemed more thematically fitting.. but every time I tried, he just healed off all the damage in less than a turn, even when i was putting out upwards of 60.

Then I find out the way, way more difficult, unintuitive solution is how you actually get the mod's rewards, and there are no refights.
*Cool.*

Also the trinkets are blatantly overpowered, but that's not a huge deal - don't like don't use and all

Cool mod, I like the lore and all, but the final fight is pretty disappointing, and not giving any warning that you'll be totally locked out of two of the bosses' trinkets if you do the thing the mechanics are *pointing you towards* kind of sucks.

It's unrealistic for many, probably most, teams to outpace the friar's insane healing output without a lot of luck, and he mostly focuses on his bodyguard instead of the crowd. The crowd, on the other hand, is insanely squishy and a massive target, and punishes you for *not* attacking it, instead of undoing all the damage you dealt when you did.

Especially without any refights it just kind of feels like I got punished for not knowing to build a hyper-built-for-purpose team to deal with a mechanic there was no warning of before or during the fight.

Boss fight worked fine for me but the sound effects from the enemies were really loud, way louder than the hero sound effects

this mod isn't broken, finished it several times. wish I could fight this guy again without making new save file

Is the friar fight way too hard or do I suck? Like it kind of feels like some values might have been put in wrong or something because the rabble's max health and the healing is rising faster than I can hurt any of the three targets.

works fine for me

@Kilin it diden't crash for me

If you have crashes to the desktop when entering the boss room, put this mod in the mod list higher than the Town wars mod. It helped me.

Wow, this mod had to be finished...

DO NOT INSTALL THIS MOD. It is currently broken and abandoned. The final boss crashes to desktop

I managed to do the first two quests, but when it came to third, I get a crash to desktop when I try to enter the next room. No errors on loading in. Anyone have anything similar? I'm playing with about 100+ mods so I'm not complaining, just wondering if anyone had any idea what would be the mostly likely cause. It seems to crash as it's preparing to load up the next room's enemies, whom won't be named.

some of the trinkets have disappeared from my inventory due to a bug is there a way to reset the fight or do it over again?

The last update of this mod was over 4 years ago and still has some serious bugs that cause crashes that never got fixed. If you value your time and your savefiles DON'T INSTALL THIS MOD until the author patches it (I doubt it tbh) or someone else makes a remaster or so.

i never managed to kill the friar or the cleric, killing the mob always seemed far easier for me... the cleric is extremly durable with its prot and overhelming healing given by the friar, who is always protected by him. Actually, I can't get how to kill the friar before the cleric.

update: just managed to kill the revolting rabble in 2 turns using BH/shrapnel/thrall, the friar just packs his stuff and leaves with his cleric lmao

has anyone actually killed the mass of villagers? Im currently trying to achieve it (failed the first try, had to retreat) and i can´t find any support nor experience from it online

I think given the boss 2 action each is kind of unfair. That's mean I have to deal with 6 total action from this boss in 1 turn. The mobs, I understand. But the flair and his body guard shouldn't have that advantage. My suggestion is given the flair and bodyguard 1 action while mob have 2-3 actions.

can you make the medicant friar a playable character?

has anyone gotten the rare chance to fight the friar in a regular dungeon?

Don't know if it's a fault on my end but the sound effects of the final boss fight are too loud.

Is there a possible way to restart my progress within the mod within a save? Two of the trinkets were obliterated by some mod shenanigans and I only have the candle now, I tried uninstalling and re-installing the mod, but all that did was plop the candle back into my inventory.

So who should I get all of the trinkets when we fight the boss?

Up to week 54 and haven't seen the quest chain start yet - any suggestions on making it start?

I have to congratulate you. This mod made me feel a lot of things, as I struggled trough the second quest. And that boss fight... I went in, thinking I could just easily take out the old priest. But I couldn't. His bodyguard proved an impossible fortress. And so, instead, I found myself thinking... "Well, if they won't listen to reason..." And then I've killed the mob. It was though, but I slaughtered every last one of them. For the first time in maybe 600 hours of playing, I felt like the Ancestor must have felt when dealing with the ever challenging populace of the Hamlet. Congratulations, as to make someone experience such strong emotions is no small feat.

Having done a few runs with this mod now I think it's a really high-quality mod but question the mechanics of the fight itself.

There seems to be little incentive for actually bothering to attack the Mob or the Cleric given that they recover such extreme amounts of health per turn - killing the Friar can be done in just a turn or two for the same outcome. For a fight that seems to be presenting the player with multiple 'choices', it doesn't feel like much of a choice when the path of least resistance is so easily accessible and still just as rewarding.

This results in practically no players ever actually killing the Cleric or obtaining the Cleric's shield item - I'd be interested to see if anyone's ever actually bothered to do it. And given that you can't rematch them, this results in some very unsatisfying runs when people realise they're permanently locked out of 1/3 of the rewards.

Why does it gott abe so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard, On 100% light I got crit by every single ♥♥♥♥♥♥ enemy and that snot even a joke, lost my entire party on the 2nd questline because the enemies had a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ 100% crit chance, ruiined my run while I was 44 weeks in, your mod is mid.

Love the boss mechanics, kicked my ass real good the first time I tried to fight him.
Also I didn't get the priest's shield trinket when I beat the boss, is there any way to recover this or would I just need to have better luck next time?

I love the irony. The friar thinks that inciting the mob to rally against, will ultimately save the hamlet. Seeing our deeds only one their plain layer. Yet, all he is doing is feeding the earth. Hastening the demise of all.

In his attempt to save the hamlet and the world, he only hastens its demise.

Does this mod add new quirks? I have one with a blue string called cleanly

Can we get the friar as a class?

Amazing mod. Must say one of the best when come to adding a boss. The lore and the gameplay is just beyond amazing. The lore especially. The small implication that the Heir is not too far from the Ancestor when it comes to do some evils... Top Notch;

The art. Amazing. No horny ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Just plain and nice visuals - my only complain are: Some of the missions are tagged as 'short' but when you enter, the dungeon is bigger than the average medium dungeons, ♥♥♥♥ really catch me off guard. And. Shieldbreaker UTTERLY destroy this boss, the fight literally becomes trivial.

Other than that. Best mod ever made to DD. Solid 7/7

is there any way to repeat the quest?

This quest chain is amazing and the rewards are some of the best trinkets I've seen outside of the Mega Trinkets pack. Extra heal + prevent ambush is such a benefit. Chance for automatic Aegis blocks is huge, as is auto-heal on hit. Seriously the final fight is difficult even when you find a winning strategy- but the reward for this challenge is worth it. Truly a great mod.

Is this mod still being developed?

I completed the quest. Is there any chance to obtain the quest again?
I obtained 2 trinkets and wish to collect the 2 remaining trinkets.
Great mod!

Wish this was just a boss fight. Adding curios makes it not work with other mods that add stuff to the same areas.

Who need's Darkest 2 when you got mods like these

How can I do the fight again?

If I disable the mod, play one mission and activate it again will it reset?

Could you guys make a separate roaming friar mod so you can get another chance for the trinkets? Also if this is supposed to be a throwback to the fanatic, well y'know, it'd make sense

I would be glad to translate it in Italian. If you are one of the modders, feel free to contact me! :)

How to get all three boss trinkets + the quest reward one:
- kill the knight first and then the priest, the mob will run away and you will get all 3
I recommend a high damage/marking team for it over dot because the priest will heal a lot, also a prot debuff is useful as the knight has prot.

If you find the fight too hard, you can just kill the priest and that will finish the encounter, but will only get you 2 trinkets instead of 3, missing out on the knight trinket.

Don't bother with this mod. Don't let the cool visuals and idea fool you, the final fight is absolutely terrible.

The third phase where the boss is a random encounter is NOT well designed. I encountered the boss at the very entrance of a dungeon, I could not retreat, because when I do the battle will start all over again. There was nothing I could do to back out of that fight except letting all 4 of my heroes die, and thus lose all 8 of my most prized trinkets. Please, fix this, no one else deserves to suffer as I have.

broken trinkets. not good

love this mod wish I could have the priest as hero

Amazing mod and plot, I want to ask that in which order should I kill to obtain all the trinkets?

is this a one-time event? Because the friar fled, and I didn't get his trinket
