♥ about this mod ♥
are your monsters built like a sponge?
then give them anchor arms!
tired of hunts being finished in under 10 minutes?
bored because most content is no longer challenging you?
craving hunt times closer to old world games?
and sick of so many cheat mods making the game even easier?
the vanilla game is already way too easy,
so make it harder instead!
experience a vanilla friendly new game+!
increase the difficulty of MR optional quests!
monsters in MR optional quests are now stronger for a new challenge.
craft new loadouts with early gear to take on a difficulty reminiscent of the old world.
early content becomes engaging again when hosting and joining optional quests!
does not change equipment, skills, monster behavior, or add content.
monster behavior and gameplay stay the same for full vanilla compatibility.
can be installed and uninstalled without affecting your save.
monsters deal more damage (only to you) in MR optional quests, including special arenas.
additionally, when you are host:
- hunt times become longer; monsters have more health and part hp.
- health and attack numbers always spawn the same instead of random.
* this means felyne weakener has no effect when hosting modded quests. - in multi-monster quests, some monsters may spawn before the map is fully cleared.
all other monster stats stay the same.
modified monster quests have blue titles and play different background music, clear music, or both.
tempered monster quests have purple titles instead.
when you are host, some also have different weather and time of day.
compatible with vanilla multiplayer.
monsters keep normal stats for vanilla players.
monsters only deal more damage to players who install the mod even when joining others.
the only change vanilla players experience is more monster health when you are hosting.
average monster attack is about 60% more.
average monster health is about 50% more.
health boost is optional but creates more room for mistakes.
however, it is strongly recommended when hunting tempered monsters.
stats are scaled to provide an arcade-like challenge for gear available at its quest rank:
1★★☆☆☆☆☆ ~ 500 defense~ 200 raw attack~ HR - rarity 9.
2★★★☆☆☆☆ ~ 600 defense~ 220 raw attack~ HR - rarity 10.
3★★★★☆☆☆ ~ 700 defense~ 240 raw attack~ rarity 9 - 11.
4★★★★★☆☆ ~ 800 defense~ 260 raw attack~ rarity 9 - 11.
5★★★★★★☆ ~ 900 defense~ 280 raw attack~ rarity 10 - 12.
6★★★★★★★~ 1000 defense~ 300 raw attack~ rarity 10 - 12.
with the appropriate defense and without health boost,
a monster's strongest attack can now deal about 70-100% of your health.
this encourages you to either:
- learn to avoid getting hit entirely.
- sacrifice offensive skills for defensive ones.
- get comfortable playing under pressure.
note:
to experience the mod and fights as intended,
you are very strongly encouraged to make new loadouts only with equipment available at that rank.
this revives early content again for players willing to be flexible.
if desired, a new game++ version could be scaled for endgame and fatalis gear.
in new game++, monsters also take less damage from players who install the mod.
this means you can bring strong equipment to an early player's quest without being as annoying or invasive to them.
♥ installation ♥
to install:
- copy the nativePC folder to the game directory. it contains folders quest and common/text/quest.
if you have any other quest mods installed,
it's highly recommended to make a copy of your current quest and common/text/quest folders somewhere else before installing to make it easier to uninstall later.
to update to a new version, just override the files from the current version.
clearing existing folders should not be necessary unless you have issues with the installation.
return to title screen for changes to take effect. the game does not need to be restarted.
to uninstall:
- remove the contents of the quest and common/text/quest folders that were added when installed.
