Shades Radiant Mod

This mod's purpose is to make Radiant the faster but not easier experience some of us thought it would be. The mod changes nothing about the town phase, but removes every element that makes the dungeon phases easier than the darkest (Normal) mode. Basically, installing the mode means you are playing the Darkest (But not Stygian) dungeon phases with Radiant town phases.

It does so by replacing the quest.restriction.json and rules.json files with the darkest versions of those files.

- Prideful Heroes: The level cap on quests is set to the original darkest version. (Note: Doesn't quite work right now for unknown reasons, see disclaimer below)
- Monsters got some new shades: Light provides the same defense bonus as in the darkest mode.
- Mystery Changes It replaces a set of lines (Line 117 to 124) back to their darkest values.
These lines clearly refer to percentages but I couldn't find what they changed exactly. The percentage difference is 5%. So something is 5% harder now. What? WHO KNOWS. LIVE A LITTLE. RISK IT. PUT ON SOME SHADES AND BE A COOL DUDE. (I suspect these have to do with the dungeon phase since they use stress, and as such I felt okay leaving them in their darkest status. Seriously though, if you have any idea what these lines actually do, let me know in the comments)


For some reason one specific part of this mod, doesn't work. I tried my best to fix it but I cannot for the life of me find why. If you want to help or want to know more about the issue, please go there: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/groups/dd-workshop/discussions/0/2333276539612898909/

In the meantime there is a workaround!
Go to: "Steam\steamapps\common\DarkestDungeon\modes\radiant\campaign\quest\" and delete the quest.restriction.json file. Don't worry, this will ONLY make it so that Radiant mode uses the normal quest restrictions. It won't change anything else.
