Introduction

"A spoonful of blight. A taste of toxin. But what else brings this dragon to our humble estate?"

The Matriarch is a brand new class mod for Darkest Dungeon with custom artwork, sounds, and animations! A weathered green dragon driven by maternal obsession, the Matriarch is a potent frontline blighter and healer with a propensity to poison her own teammates. But don't fret—mother knows what's best for you, after all.

Combat Skills











Camping Skills

The Matriarch has four unique camping skills, and comes with the usual shared camping skills in Encourage, Pep Talk, and Wound Care.






Death's Door Interactions + Other Passives



The Matriarch gains 100% blight resistance whilst on Death's Door, and will automatically cure any blights she has upon entering Death's Door. Outside of this, she suffers from the normal Death's Door penalties and mortality debuffs.

The Matriarch also automatically cures blight on herself on combat end, and her critical hit effect is a 2pt/1rd blight with 120% chance. Due to the way the game interacts with DoTs on crit, this is effectively a 140% base 2pt/2rd blight.

Additional Information
  • You may only have 1 Matriarch in your party at any given time.
  • The Matriarch is not religious.
  • The Matriarch comes with a full set of regular, CC, and CoM trinkets, along with one universal trinket (isn't a head).
  • The Matriarch uses the Outsider's Bonfire district.
  • The Matriarch provides 2 antivenom as free provisions when starting a quest
  • The Matriarch will refuse to gamble and cannot gain quirks related to it.
  • The Matriarch has special dialogue with the Ringmaster and the Prefect.
  • The Matriarch has unique duo team names with every single vanilla hero, and some modded heroes.
  • Her canon name is Zathenna.

@Lady_Gendercide

To manually fix this (and for any character who isn't supported) you can go into her .info file and change the max skills from 4 to 7

@Lady_Gendercide,

That's a problem the author of that mod has to resolve, nothing I can do on my end.

Hey, not sure if there's anything you can do about it, but the "all skills to all class" mod doesn't seem to be working for her

I don't think I've ever had this much fun with a healer class in darkest dungeon. In particular, the CC trinket that lets her apply blight to the team without using mithridatism makes her so much more flexible and enjoyable to play. 10/10 class, probably my favorite out of the 300 class mods I play with.

Thanks so much for kind words and in-depth feedback!

As more of a tangential comment, one thing she does for certain is have insanely busted synergy with another modded class, ‘The Rudiment.’ They fit together absolutely perfect, and anyone else looking to try a disgusting party comp that I’ve banned myself from using, try:


Rudiment: heavy impact, perilous flesh, who is the creator, phlebotomy (this is almost entirely what breaks the game in terms of offensive potential. Self blight’s team and enemies for like 3/3rds and feeds/enables Matriarch)

Matriarch: venom eater, poison spike, siphon, purify

Plague doctor: standard rank 3 set of choice

Occultist: rank 4 moveset of choice. The cove and ruins will not survive.

Back on topic, great mod! Love to see a proper dragon instead of some ‘monster girl’ which always is just a human with dagger ears or maybe a tail.

I enjoy her writing too, specifically “maybe mother doesn't always know best” on quirk induced curio interaction going bad.

Well, I will admit: odd as it is, having a dragoness stomping about with knights, vikings and cultists, this mod has very quickly grown on me!

With many other (typically modded) classes, I oftentimes find the four moves I prefer, and almost never stray from them. The Matriarch, however, has not yet had this plateau for me. I’ve never had a character, official or not, have me fiending so hard for a 5th ability slot. Its a good thing, as it means a lot of her kit is quite desirable.

I enjoy the concept of a high health yet conditional frontline healer/blight stacker. She isnt a one trick pony dragon or flimsy healer, and the choice of making her 1 per party was a wise one, as having even two would just be ridiculous value. I think she’s probably a little strong, but I’ll have to take her on more quests to truly see.
