This mod adds enemies from the Gaunt faction in Darkest Dungeon 2. These include the Lost Souls, the Widow, the Urchin, and the Woodsman. These enemies can appear in any of the four vanilla regions, but will not be grouped with enemies from other factions (IE you will not see lost souls paired with bone soldiers, cultists, or etc). The attacks and skills these monsters use are for the most part as similar as possible to their DD2 counterparts, with certain liberties taken to ensure they fit in with the game mechanics of the original Darkest Dungeon.

An important note about the AI of these enemies: Lost Souls and Woodsman enemies are 5 times as likely to target marked heroes over non-marked heroes (but do not get damage bonuses vs marked). In addition, Widows and Urchins are 4 times as likely to target the hero in the party with the most stress.

This mod is part of a larger overhaul known as Project Iron Crown (abbreviated as PIC). This is an overhaul mod currently in development which aims to backport many of the mechanics from Darkest Dungeon 2 into Darkest Dungeon 1. PIC is currently available for public testing, and you can find out more about it in its discord server. Click the following for more information:
