The sin is not in being outmatched, but in failing to recognize it.
Happy New Year! Here are this weeks and last weeks mods:
Shadow of the White Vvulf by ooh ah, TerkMC, Woona, BattedMH(NS) , BEAN CONSUMER
"Though the pack is dispersed, mourn not for it's leader. For the spirit of the hunt never stays dead for long."
The White Vvulf is a Darkest (Lv 6.) Bossfight that takes place in the Farmstead. This boss fight will test your mettle, you will most likely not succeed on your first attempt. There is no punishment for retreating during this fight. It is highly recommend to bring a hero with a stun ability.
A professional in disease control and prevention, the Exterminator was summoned to the Hamlet to take care of a seemingly mundane rat infestation, only to find that the corruption in the sewer reaches far beyond the material plane. Bounded by contract and his own code of duty, the Exterminator is here to stay until the root of the infestation has been removed and the ground cleansed of its remains.
The Exterminator is a mid rank offensive support with a niche of anti DoT and disease, being able to ward his entire team with great resistance while disrupting the enemy with a variety of debuff, disruption and stun. Though his direct damage isn’t great, over time, the accumulated blight damage of his fumigator can wear down an entire team at once, and the weakened can be finished off with a stomp of gun stock.
As it turns out, while you and your loyal band of doomed adventurers were toiling for the sake of the Hamlet, an infinitesimal evil was brewing under your feet. Pestilence and malaise have always been a perilous aspect of this hard-knock life we live, so it was only a matter of time before unfamiliar plagues from forgotten corners of the land swept through our beleaguered community.
This gameplay mod adds 1 new quirk, as well as 20 new diseases for your unfortunate heroes to catch sick with. It also enables Sky Taint to be contracted by random means. The diseases I added are intended to mesh elegantly with the ones already present, while also spicing up both the variety and the danger of encountering illness.
Vinny’s Blackest Enemy Overhaul by vinnyp316, Cryptix, Chassé, 54NBB, Woona
After countless cycles of bloodshed and death, the heart of the world has been corrupted beyond any sane human’s wildest imaginations. The types of these creatures have morphed, planting and harvesting core components of their being. The brains of these creatures have been lobotomized and refashioned, giving them intelligence far beyond what was once had. And of most import, the flesh and soul of many of the strongest creatures on this plane have been shifted, giving them powers beyond compare, and taking away just as much. It is time for the true test of mettle, the final cycle. Welcome... to the Blackest Overhaul.
Every boss in the game has been tweaked, every enemy slid in a more interesting direction, and moves of these foul creatures have been given a tune up. The changes are so numerous it would be impossible for them to go over everything, so make sure to check the full mod page!

The Philomath by Rehtaelle, MoonKanin, 54NBB, PhallseAnghell
"This one sees the truth as I did. She merely cannot comprehend it." A woman commanding forces beyond her own comprehension comes to the estate, seeking answers to questions she cannot comprehend. Will she regain control of her life, or does something insidious await this broken soul?
He was a night watchman guarding a lighthouse on the seashore, but overheard of a plot by anchored pirates. To silence him, the captain tied him to the deck and put him to death for questioning about what he had heard. It was on this day that the curse of the ancestors manifested itself with unparalleled power, and the greedy pirates were eternally punished, and he, who was innocent, was also implicated. After the shipwreck, he slept on the cold bottom of the ocean for many years. In the end, he miraculously woke up, only to become unholy like the crew around him. But unlike them, he still retained his humanity, he took what he needed from the sunken pirate ship; his cloak was the original pirate ship's sails, also took the first mate's machete and the bow light, he returned to the bay, and began to enact his own revenge.

”Terrors may indeed stalk these shadows, but yonder – a glint of gold.”
Here are this weeks:
Pet Cemetery Dungeon by Dem, Selafio, Adon, many others in the mod description
Just outside the hamlet, unholy creatures stir in the local Pet Cemetery. This burial ground is home to more than just the remains of the villagers’ beloved animal companions; shadowy creatures, haunted skeletons, and fierce animals claim dominion. But powerful treasures may be discovered at archaeozoological expedition dig sites: search for Pet Keepsakes (rumored to possess wild, unpredictable power), find rare and curious remains from a Bone Collection, or experiment with foul Forbidden Baubles. Gather your party and prepare to explore this twisted, gated place.
Pet Cemetery is a complete dungeon add-on mod with new monsters, gems, quirks, items, provisions, quest maps, secrets, and more. Discover over 50 trinkets from 3 new Collections. Try to defeat 4 new bosses to continue your Darkest Dungeon adventures. Hear diary entries about an ill-fated expedition. The Pet Cemetery dungeon will appear after week 7 as a new map destination to explore + play for the remainder of your game. Includes random Find, Explore, + Cleanse missions, plus new variable-path quest maps.
A figure with a past cloaked in mystery, the Hierophant desires only one thing: justice for the Hamlet. Charged with bringing his former mentor the Fanatic, the newly minted inquisitor set forth into the unexplored regions of the estate, nearly losing his life upon encountering his old master. Realizing that the Fanatic had grown stronger then humanly possible, the Hierophant fled to the Hamlet, seeking to lead a crusade against these cursed lands, bringing to justice all those who fled from the Light's grace.
This simple mod adds a small UI change showing what friendly targets can be targeted with a friendly skill, making it very useful in case you forget. Alongside this, there is also a guide to modders allowing them to do this to their own classes, if they would like.
The Vultist is a hideous fusion of the beloved Vestal and Occultist. In control of both light and dark the pair is able to heal allies with divine power and eldritch fury, and harm their enemies with the same. The Vultist uses versatility as their greatest tool, being able to fit into any team in any position.

Dr Feelgood Roaming Miniboss by Cryptix

Dr Feelgood will begin to roam the hamlet much like the Thing after the first expedition to the Farmstead. Fear the good Doctor!
Farmstead+ by Hunting Slime, Anonymous Koala, Shay
Farmstead+ is designed to be an overhaul of the Color of madness DLC. It's main focus is to add onto the DLC, while trying to keep the base feel and flow of the DLC there.

Here Be Monsters is a series of mods that will add new enemies to Darkest Dungeon. This installment introduces the Mariner, a forgotten seaman driven mad by years of wandering through the labyrinthian tunnels of the Cove.

The Powder Keg Class by MoonKanin, Cryptix, Uncanny Gemstar, Shay

His class uses a variety of techniques shown by the Hunters of Bloodborne, using high speed and devastating attacks to their advantage.
Wielding his trusty Rifle Spear, the Powder Keg continues his duty of protecting the common folk from the beasts that plague the land around him. Slash and shoot your way through the hordes of monsters that threaten the estate!
Red Hook is excited to announce that the boardgame version of Darkest Dungeon is live now on Kickstarter!
We have partnered with Mythic Games, who have demonstrated an incredible enthusiasm and appetite for table-crushing games constructed of top notch components. Mythic had resident Darkest Dungeon fans on staff in their design team, and their adaptation clearly shows the love they have for the source material. We also are excited to see DD come again to Kickstarter, which is where this whole adventure began in 2014!
Bringing a board game of DD to life has been a dream of ours for some time, as we enjoy tabletop gaming ourselves. We can’t wait to hold this in our hands!
