Confession Bosses in Kingdoms

Description
What is this mod?

It adds the all 5 Confession end bosses into Kingdoms as optional boss fights.

This mod works for both the "Hunger of the Beast Clan" and "Secrets of the Coven" modules.


How to fight the bosses

Short version: Complete Kill Contracts and/or kill Bosses until you get a [Hand of Despair], then head to the Tundra.

Long version (step-by-step guide):

1a) When you complete any Kill Contract, or defeat a boss, you should see a new [Candle of Despair] item as a reward.

1b) You may also purchase [Candle of Despair] from the Hoarder, albeit for a moderately high price

2) Once you collect 4 [Candle of Despair], they will coalesce into a random [Hand of Despair], at the next inn.

3) This [Hand of Despair] is a special stagecoach item that will replace the next Tundra Lair encounter with the corresponding Confession boss.

4) Entering the next Tundra Lair will spawn the corresponding Confession boss battle. You can always check which Confession boss you are going to fight by examining the [Hand of Despair]!

Note: For convenience, the [Hand of Despair] item guarantees lair spawns while equipped


Rewards

Defeating a Confession boss will give massive rewards. You are guaranteed the following:

1) 5 Mastery
2) 80 Relics (2 full stacks of relics)
3) 80 Baubles (2 full stacks of baubles)
4) 80 Inn Materials (2 full stacks of Inn Materials)
5) 3 Cultists Trinkets
6) Malevolent Impulse (Unique Trophy)

You can look up all the effects of the [Malevolent Impulse] Trophy in the mod's discussion page.

Rerolling Boss Encounters

If there is a specific Confession boss you dislike, or are ill-fitted for, it is possible to re-roll any [Hand of Despair] you have. As long as you possess a Hand, the Inns will stock up on [Reignite Despair] items. Using these items will re-roll the boss encounter provided by the Hand.

For the purposes of balance, re-rolling requires a small fee and has limited uses per Inn. You can't easily get that one boss you want, but you can easily avoid that one boss you hate (Obsession).


Difficulty and Downscaling

Due to the difficulty modifiers in Kingdoms (Escalation), the Confession bosses have had their HP and DMG modifiers altered. The exact changes are (relative to their Confession stats):

Escalation 1: -33% MAX HP / -33% DMG

Escalation 2: -20% MAX HP / -20% DMG

Escalation 3: No Changes


Compatibility

Out of necessity, this mod makes direct changes to the game's Confession bosses. Other mods that make changes to Confession bosses may not be compatible

@tac I tried and I wish I could, but I couldn't find any logic that would allow me to do so. Effects that change map generation are coded differently than those that affect heroes.

Hey, this is pretty cool! :lunar2019piginablanket: Have you thought about chancing regular inn fights for variation? Say, it could sometimes be just bandits or other monsters attacking the inns, instead of the regular faction? I think this would be the biggest improvement to Kingdoms mode.

Jeez, that thumbnail is a bit spoiler-y, no?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you make it so it only guarantees lair spawns in the tundra? We have stagecoach items and quirks that work based on region, so maybe there's logic there to look at?
