Shadow Pieces

Hellow guys are you getting bored of your Don’t Starve world thinking it’s too easy and frustated that DST is getting a lot of new content but not DT, are looking for more challenges, then this mode is made for you!

This mod will bring the Shadow Piece monsters from Don’t Starve Together for Ship Wrekched, Reign of Giant and Vanilla Don’t Starve.

After certain amount of days(editable with options) each new moon(editable with options) some shadow monsters will spawn in the world, a big sound will be heard each time a shadow piece monsters spawned and the frequence(editable with options) will remain the same.

The 3 different monsters are shadow knight, rook and bishop, they all got their special abilities, only the knight keep the same fighting way than the normal one. You will think that it will be easy there but if you are facing the many of them at the same time and manage to kill one of them, the two others will have chances(editable with options) to level up and become more powerful!

The level up conditions is a bit complicated so here is how it works, when you kill one of them only the other of the same level and a different specie will be able to level up(if they are close enought), for example if you kill a level 1 knight all near level 1 rook and bishop will have chance to level up, another example if you kill a level 2 rook all near level 2 knight and bishop will have chanceto level up. The level 3 is the maximum at that stage the monster is considered as a boss.

The shadow piece monsters aren’t like the shadow/nightmare ones, which means that they will attack the player but also any mob which get their interest(pig man, spider, bosses, …), they will also be targeted directly by friendly mobs like pigmen or bunny men.

It’s very dangerous to fight them alone, you will get overrun very quickly because attacking one will bring the other into the fight, a good idea is to lure them near other mobs for help. But be careful they will follow you for a very long delay.

When spawned they will wander for 2 days and then disspear, if one of them managed to level up during that period then the delay will be reset.

They have been nerfed compared to the ones of DST which are very hard to kill, here are the loots which are the same for each specie and depends only of the level.
– level 1: 2 nightmare fuels.
– level 2: 4 nightmare fuels.
– level 3: 6 nightmare fuels, 1 dark sword, 1 night armor, 1 shadow atrium.

And the stats for each of them:

Shadow Knight(level 1):
Health: 400
Attack Period: 3
Speed: 5
Damage: 30

Crazy Shadow Knight(level 2):
Health: 1000
Attack Period: 2.5
Speed: 7
Damage: 70

Insane Shadow Knight(level 3):
Health: 2500
Attack Period: 2.5
Speed: 8
Damage: 100

Shadow Rook(level 1):
Health: 600
Attack Period: 6
Speed: 5
Damage: 45

Crazy Shadow Rook(level 2):
Health: 1700
Attack Period: 5.5
Speed: 5
Damage: 80

Insane Shadow Rook(level 3):
Health: 3000
Attack Period: 5
Speed: 5
Damage: 120

Shadow Bishop(level 1):
Health: 350
Attack Period: 4
Speed: 3
Damage: 20 x n

Crazy Shadow Bishop(level 2):
Health: 800
Attack Period: 6
Speed: 3
Damage: 30 x n

Insane Shadow Bishop(level 3):
Health: 2100
Attack Period: 8
Speed: 3
Damage: 48 x n

Their insanity aura will also increase with their level, their attack range too which will make them almost impossible to dodge at high level.

The shadow atrium is also here, for now it doesn’t have any utlity in DST, so I decided to make it edible for the moment it will give to the player 200 health, 300 hunger but he will lose 25 sanity in exchange.
