So... I finally got it to work for me.
I went to steamapps>workshop>content>262060>1905111513>raid>ai and then opened anti_collection.monster_brains in notepad.
I found the actual combat skill that Baldwin was using under lepking_avenge.
You should see where he wants to choose the skill.
"type": "ally_dead_skill",
"data": {
"base_chance": 1000.0
"combat_skill_id": "lepking_avenge",
"ally_base_class_id": "leper_guard"

Change the value from 1000.0 to 0.0 so he won't want to use it.
Hopefully that works for you, don't know of your folders will be different.
My advice is to avoid installing it to begin with.

yeah this mod is crashing to me too when he use Vindicate but I re-download it and it didn't crush good for me but the mod did make me go and get ride of my mods while trying fixing it so I don't recommend you download this mod, or better make sure you get a copy of your save so if the mod put you in a soft lock you could get out

I also looked into the anti_collections file and could not find anything for vindicate
Atomic Angel96 4 May @ 7:22am 
Game crashes for me as well when he uses vindicate
necromancerignaltus 2 May @ 2:00pm 
O moved the mod for top, but not work. The game continue crashing when the boss uses vindicate. I know I miss my save. Then, this mod go to trash. :steamsad:
Dradon 1 Mar @ 11:20am 
The only way to fix it for me was to just change the anti_collection.effects.darkest from effects to make it so the chance for Vindicate to do something to 0%

old boss, compared to new ones not so fun

game crashes when the boss uses vindicate
Weather Man 19 Jun, 2023 @ 9:30pm 
He has a debuff where he can't check if his pistol is loaded

baldwin would never do this im stressing any crying rn:stress::stress:

i like the skins of the second hand men. wish there was a mod that just added those guys into the mix of brigands or just as standalone enemy parties of just one or two of them
Dradon 31 Dec, 2022 @ 1:33am 
is this boss repeateable?
oti97 25 Sep, 2022 @ 1:44am 
I also had the problem where one of his skills crashes the game. Moving the mod up in the load order solved the issue for me.
sou1Ls 8 Sep, 2022 @ 1:49am 
A fun mini-boss to fight, however some of his skills don't have sounds :(
Vvv 21 Apr, 2022 @ 12:02pm 
Hmmm just fought him, and he did some skill and my game crashed...
Schadenfreude 15 Jan, 2022 @ 11:52pm 
Are people seriously playing with mods without backing up their saves?
comex 4 Jan, 2022 @ 12:06pm 
this peice of shit seems to only spawn on when i am doing an antiquarian run and it got two of my level 6 character killed. I dont know if there is some kind of special modifier that makes it appear more when you have an antiquarian but i am uninstalling this mod.
Latarius 1 Dec, 2021 @ 6:28am 
DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS MOD. ONE OF KING BALDWIN SKILL WILL CRASH YOU THE GAME. RESTARTING WILL ONLY CRASH IT INFINITELY AND YOU WILL LOSE THE SAVE WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO DO ANYTHING. DO NOT DOWNLOAD.

Hello, I just fought this guy and it was a lot of fun! Do you mind if I add sound effects (vanilla ones - that already exist in the game) for this mod?
FruitierKeith 12 Sep, 2021 @ 12:24pm 
I really like this fight, but the missing sound effects kind of ruins it for me. Is there something I can do to fix this, or is it intentional?
Crab_Baskets 23 Aug, 2021 @ 3:54pm 
Still getting the Vindicate crash, curious to see what it is. Guess i'll just have to use the notepad fix
Col 3 Aug, 2021 @ 4:34pm 
i enjoy annoying but fun
Rainy 3 Aug, 2021 @ 10:43am 
Rainy's Recommended Games has awarded this mod, thank you very much!
Ezarkal 12 Sep, 2020 @ 8:50am 
Vindicate just crashed my game.
Is anyone still looking for a fix? I'd like not to have to throw away my game when I'm near the end.
Oblivious Naga 16 Aug, 2020 @ 9:48am 
So I ran into this boss right at the start of my game and I dont mean on the first ruins run. I mean right after the stage coach crash intro with just Dismas and Raynold. Im pretty sure thats not supposed to be a thing
Dagon 11 Aug, 2020 @ 3:57pm 
this mod is shit ass garbage. the sprites were cool, but this isnt collector level of difficulty. its literally just leper but he has way too much hp, and can use solemnity and revenge infinitely. broken, stupid party-wiping garbage. the worst part is, i could easily see this becoming a whole lot better. maybe if you gave him a limit on his stupid infinite revenge bullshit, he would be alot better. but it got to a point where the only way to beat him is shieldbreaker. "dont have to build around it" my ass. this fight is poorly designed, you need to fix it.

I got the vindicate crashing issue, very heavy modded, moved to top of list nothing. Not mad just letting ya know.
Chogex  [author] 21 May, 2020 @ 2:48am 
Attempted a fix for the Vindicate crashing issue. Please let me know if anyone crashes when Baldwin uses Vindicate.
Chogex  [author] 14 Dec, 2019 @ 12:54pm 
fixed, idk how that happened

The Bean Hunter 29 Nov, 2019 @ 5:53pm 
oh boy i cant wait to see the "handless helion" boss mod
Nona 24 Nov, 2019 @ 4:30am 
Came across the vindicate bug, tried using "-disable_monster_pre_loading" it still crashes. Walkthrough is ruined.
Chogex  [author] 15 Nov, 2019 @ 9:17am 
Definitely do report back with feedback, it's greatly appreciated.
IceMaverick 15 Nov, 2019 @ 8:17am 
Hm, okay. I suppose I'll fight them a few times and let you know my thoughts on it. The fight already seemed pretty easy on Champ, but just a bit overtuned on Apprentice as my only real critique. But I guess I'll let you know how this goes.
Chogex  [author] 15 Nov, 2019 @ 3:08am 
Mostly for the sake of trying things out. They have a large HP pool as is, so removing the PROT shouldn't trivialize them.
IceMaverick 14 Nov, 2019 @ 8:01pm 
His Hands don't have PROT anymore? That seems like an head-cocking design choice. What sparked that? Does their Guard move buff PROT and I hadn't noticed?
Chogex  [author] 14 Nov, 2019 @ 4:54pm 
UPDATE:

Spawn chance lowered from 2/3/4% to 1/2/3%

Stand Tall no longer buffs DMG by 30% for 3 rds
IceMaverick 11 Nov, 2019 @ 9:45am 
As an aside, after fighting him nearly a dozen times now, I'd say the description is a little misleading. Baldwin is between a Collector and Shambler in terms of difficulty, because the Shambler is actually threatening and the Collector is a massive joke of a miniboss outside of the first 15 weeks.
When I read he was about as tough as a Collector, I was expecting it to be a boss that I could bully for money, but he actually presents a non-zero amount of challenge.
IceMaverick 11 Nov, 2019 @ 9:40am 
Is the boss meant to have sound files? All of the enemies don't make noises when attacking or when hit.
And uh, are we double-checked sure it's only a 3% spawn chance on Veteran? I've fought him in every single Veteran dungeon I've done since installing this. I can accept if my RNG is just great, but I just want to make sure.
thegodofsky 11 Nov, 2019 @ 3:07am 
Thank you for responding!

If you don't want to touch the dmg too much or at all the only thing I could think of is to lower the PROT on his minions so it's easier to get him alone and manageable despite his high dmg. Though I am no modder and like you said testing is important and that takes time, still I am glad to hear you are working on this mod still. I look forward to giving this mod another go someday!
Chogex  [author] 10 Nov, 2019 @ 11:58pm 
Do keep in mind that tanking the dmg by outhealing/reducing it was never meant to be a viable strategy vs this boss. Dealing heavy damage is the only thing it can do and if you could counter it that easily, then there'd be no point to it.
Chogex  [author] 10 Nov, 2019 @ 11:52pm 
Thanks for the feedback!

I dont mind rants out of frustration and don't worry, this is not the first time I've received one of those. Besides, you have a decent point to it since he does deal a ton of dmg, to the point where it becomes almost unbearable.

I have been looking to nerf the boss' dmg output a little, but I'll need to test it more on Champion before I do that.
thegodofsky 10 Nov, 2019 @ 11:41pm 
I feel I should note all of that was in lvl 1 dungeons as well if that helps explain my frustration a little better.
thegodofsky 10 Nov, 2019 @ 11:36pm 
Look I really like the idea behind the fight, would have deleted it after my first encounter if I didn't care for it, but until you can balance the dmg dealing potential of Baldwin and his minions I can't say I will ever be coming back to this. I am happy for everyone who has been able to enjoy this mod so far and I hope this doesn't deter people from actually trying it out since maybe this is all due to bad luck. I also wish you luck with this mod it does have a good idea behind it from what I have seen but the sheer amount of BS I feel when playing this is too much for me to enjoy.

tl;dr: I feel the mini boss is complete BS and should be rebalanced but I enjoy the idea behind it. Have a nice day and I hope this doesn't discourage you from modding.
