Reception of Crowley (EN/CN/JP)

21.02.2014: the second Reception has been reworked to no longer be this bad. Its original version can be invited after beating the reworked fight. Apologies for the inconvenience.

BASEMOD FOR WORKSHOP IS REQUIRED. Nightly version works too if you have it. Don't use more than one version at the same time. Cyaminthe's Enhanced Combat Page View and Assorted Fixes are included in the mod, but if your card hand display is getting messed up or UI gets weird after you gain too many statuses (neither should be happening), try getting those mods.

Two Receptions with two keypages as rewards and a bunch of cards, mainly focused on (self) Bleed.

To start the first Reception, use books of Axe Gang and Jikan. Those are base game General Invitation, look it up in guides if you still don't have them. This one is balanced for Urban Plague.

The second Reception is balanced for IC. It's normal version is nothing too bad and can be beaten rather comfortably in vanilla, but the Hard Mode version gets very restictive in what you can do. Try not to bring anything too silly for the latter or it either becomes unwinnable (barring blatant cheating) or outright denies access depending on what you brought. I've managed to beat it using only base game content with no passive attribution and some rather subpar decks, so, you don't need to get anything crazy to beat it. For my winning run, floor used was Religion, keypages used were Esther, Olivier, Argalia, Boris and Yan, abnos chosen were Baptism, Lean Bloody Wings, Confession, Advent and Sentinel, EGO pages chosen were Sound of a Star, Dead Silence and Penitence.

WARNING: if second Reception's normal version forces a loss, make sure none of the librarians are immune to neutral status effects.
As for Hard Mode, make sure you have no librarians with
-current HP over 200 (keypages like Yujin are fine and can heal to the max, they just can't start at over 200HP)
-immune resistances for both damage and stagger
-immunity to neutral status effects
If a loss is forced later, you most likely have someone purging vital statuses or modifying the boss/enemies in ways you're not meant to. As mentioned above, try not to bring anything dumb to the fight.

All three versions of the second Reception offer the same rewards. Easy Mode version exists for grinding if needed.

As far as playable Crowley's Black Song goes, I'm not posting any cheat sheet or guide on all possible combinations. Just try experimenting with it. There are about 20 different Songs you can get (not counting additional upgrades to each).

If you want to use Corroded Hell Lust's original apperance with bird head, choose Appearance B in librarian customization. Crowley has no headless option at the moment.
If you want Crowley's head cosmetics, you can get them here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3158993583

This mod became very experimental after massive scope creep set it and I've learned a lot by working on it, but this may have been detrimental to the quality of fights provided and thus I moved the worst of it into a Hard Mode version. You should not have anything bad in regular version.

Another warning: Exsanguate's animation speed is tied to a script. This makes it significantly more precise, but at the cost of slowing down on weaker PCs like mine (to about 20 seconds). It's functional either way, but you may grow tired of waiting for it to finish if that card is used often enough.

If anyone is willing to translate this mod, a lot of statuses and cards are named after song and opera terms. Keep that in mind.

-Ninja Monkey for uploading this mod on my behalf;
-Cyaminthe for making Assorted Fixes and Enhanced Combat Page View;
-CN translation by kyann kyou;

To do:
-Fix bugs that will inevitably arise;
-Fix Dirge of Sacrifices allowing passives to stack in spite of my numerous attempts to prevent it, which can lead to some incredibly stupid situations. Have fun with it while you can;
-Fix Exsanguate's animation speed without sacrificing precision;
-Add headless version of Crowley's keypage (unlikely to happen for a while);
