EliteCreaturesReborn
Creatures spawn with mutations that change how they fight - fast, armoured, exploding, splitting, devouring. Rebuilt from scratch; tunable per biome.Elite Creatures Reborn
Creatures spawn with more stars and mutations, traits that change how a fight goes; bosses take an aspect instead.
Features
- Mutations: nineteen on the nameplate, such as Mad, Bloated, Frostbound and Cloning.
- Difficulty: Easy to Extreme; new biomes start gentle, cleared ones keep hardening.
- Stars: beyond vanilla's two, up to eight on Extreme, or off for another mod's.
- Boss aspects: one per fight (Twin, Nightfall, Brutal and fifteen more), shown at the altar with the boss's stars.
- World tiers: each boss's first defeat makes stars and mutations more common.
- Breeding: tamed young inherit a mutation and stars.
- Loot: four drop modes, rules per creature.
- Boss damage board: who did how much damage.
- Boss hints: four bosses point the way to the Bog Witch, the ancient forge, Haldor and Hildir.
- Death recap:
F10replays the seconds before each death, hit by hit. - Respawning: cleared camps, dungeons and dungeon chests can refill (off by default).
- Works with PackPanel, GrindstoneSkills' Husbandry and Elite Creatures Pack.
