Lantern Keeper

This mod adds a new enemy that must be defeated using Chinese lanterns.

Lantern Keeper

This mod introduces a new enemy that can only be defeated in a very specific way.

Invulnerability by default

The enemy starts out invulnerable.

Spawn

This enemy can only spawn at the start of the game (to spawn at the same time as the lanterns linked to its gameplay).

Attack

The enemy's attack is triggered when it makes contact with a player. It performs a biting animation that applies a poison effect to the targeted player from a distance (but not through walls).

The targeted player will take damage on impact and be poisoned for 10 seconds (configurable):

• They will take additional damage every second during this time
• They will experience a slight blurry visual effect

Activating vulnerability

To make the enemy vulnerable, you must light four lanterns scattered across the map. These lanterns can spawn both indoors and outdoors and must be lit in a specific order. If the order is not followed, all the lanterns will extinguish and you’ll need to start over.

Rage mechanic

For each lantern lit, the enemy gains rage, boosting its speed and direct damage output. The monster will also move each time toward the last lit lantern. If all lanterns are extinguished, the rage is reset to default.

Fortune Cookie

To help players figure out the correct lantern order, a new item, the Fortune Cookie, has been added. This item can only appear when the Lantern Keeper is present in the game and they are all destroyed when the ship takes off.

How to obtain it:

Simply return an item of value to the ship and a Fortune Cookie will spawn in front of the ship's door.

How it helps:

The Fortune Cookie provides three possible clues to guide you:

• It reveals which player is closest to the next lantern
• It indicates the color of the lantern to be lit
• It displays the aura of the next lantern

Poison Dagger

Once the monster is defeated, for each connected player a new item will spawn: the Poison Dagger.

How it works:

Functions like a regular knife but with an added effect:

• Enemies hit by the Poison Dagger are poisoned for a limited time
• Damage Over Time: Additional damage is dealt at the end of the poison duration
• Stun Effect: A very slight stun is applied to the enemy every second during poisoning
