Here Be Monsters: The New Shadow

"Do you remember my last missive? I wrote of unimaginable horrors and towering monstrosities. It would seem that despite the blood you’ve shed and the terrors you’ve extirpated, the land is hell-bent on churning forth the foulest of foes. A new shadow falls over our Hamlet, cast by unearthly titans and abhorrent behemoths. And all we can do is cower in the abyssal gloom they cast, for here be monsters." – Note from your Ancestor

Here Be Monsters is a series of mods that adds new challenging enemies to Darkest Dungeon. The New Shadow is an expansion of the original full release, adding twelve new monsters to the game. These are endgame content, including an all regions miniboss and Veteran and Champion level enemies. Like the original release, each enemy included in the mod includes at least one rare trinket that they may leave on death, with minibosses having more.

Note: This mod is compatible with all other mods, and needs no specific load order. It does however require every DLC to function properly, as well as the full release of Here Be Monsters, found here:

• Two new enemies for the Courtyard: the Bloodflower and the Socialite!
• Two new enemies for the Farmstead: the Changeling and the Reverie!
• Two new Brigand enemies: the Chained Giant and the Bushranger!
• Two new Cultist enemies: the Deacon and the Frenzied Cultist!
• One new Champion enemy for each region: the Shunned House, the Lethal Whelk, the Swine Mangler and the Profaned Chimera!
• One new roaming miniboss: the Dwimmerlaik!
• Rare unique trinkets that can drop from each enemy in the mod!
