Shackles Unleashed

Tired of fighting the current, super weak version of the first confession Mountain boss? Then this mod is for you!

This is the first of my "Mountain boss rework pack", more will come in the next few days.

Yes, the bastard's beacon already fixes this boss by making it a true menace, however I think the changes from this mod are unique and interesting enough that you won't regret trying it.

This is not a mere stat increase to add artificial difficulty, but a overhaul of a few key moves that stay true of the spirit of the fight while making the fight more challenging for those of us who have fought it too many times to be scared of the original, but at the same time, without making it overwhelming.

The Shackles are back to it's original glory plus some more new unique effects.

If you trust me and want to go in blind to explore this mod, stop reading here. Otherwise here is what it does:

When the bastard's Beacon is not active: adds 35 health to all shackles to bring it back to what it was in early access when this boss was still a menace (bastard's Beacon already massively boosts the health of the boss, no reason to do it twice)

Each Denial ability has a new effect:
* Denial of arms: adds 2 strength tokens to the shackle
* Denial of reach: adds 1 crit token to the shackle
* Denial of fortitude: adds 2 dot heal to the other shackles
* Denial of reason: adds 1 block to all shackles and removes negative tokens






Finally, rising actions: The biggest fault of this boss fight is that it becomes easier as you kill more locks. The devs fixed it by adding buffs on death but it still is not enough. With this mod, when the second and then the third lock die, the others gain one more action and more speed each. Balancing back the action economy.


Don't forget to try this mod with the Bastard's Beacon for a truly terrifying boss fight.

Hope you enjoy, please don't forget ot comment your feedback and experience, would love to know how you found the fight.
