TacoHCChanges

A collection of balance and quality of life changes for the Hallowed Concepts DLC. Every change can be toggled or tuned in the config file.

Everyone in the lobby needs this mod installed. Requires the Hallowed Concepts DLC.

Changes

Enforcer

• Kinetic Charge no longer wipes your barrier when it ends. Barrier damage scaling is kept.
• Kinetic Charge uses the same walk speed penalty as the normal secondary.
• Optional multipliers for charge duration and the damage it can absorb (both vanilla by default).

Acolyte

• Echo form resets all skill cooldowns on entry (Sacrifice excluded) and shortens skill cooldowns by 50% while transformed.
• Echo form grants the Armor Boost buff (+200 armor) for the whole transformation.
• Reaper form recolor: execute effect, slashes, projectiles and the Anima Harvester boss effects are green. Execute shows fake damage numbers of 6, 66, 666, 6666, 66K and 666K, with the highest in crit gold.

Trials

• After 3 completed trials in a run, every player without a Reincarnation page gets one.
• Trial of Infernal Greed: combat shrines favour smaller enemies, with a 1 in 5 chance of a big pick.

Stages

• Damp Caverns moves from stage 3 to stage 2, with interactable credits lowered from 310 to 280. The Alloyed Collective Access Node no longer spawns there, and its chat messages are hidden.
• Lurid Basilica: killing the Scavenger now spawns a free legendary chest at the hand instead of the normal item drop.

Items and bosses

• Corpse Lily reaches full size after one third of the teleporter charge, and is not capped by the Eclipse 2 radius reduction.
• Mithrix no longer gains the Karmic Shell. He gets 2 stacks of Adaptive Armor in its place. Extra max health is available in the config (off by default).

Configuration

Works with Risk of Options: install it and every setting appears in the in-game options menu. Otherwise, run the game once, then edit BepInEx/config/com.taco.tacohcchanges.cfg (or use the config editor in your mod manager). Every setting above has a toggle or value there. If a new version adds settings, new defaults apply automatically unless you changed that setting yourself.

Known notes

• Reaper numbers: the game displays values under 10000 as plain digits, so 6666 stands in for 6K.
