Purpose[edit | edit source]

With the announcement [1] from the devs that '...official modding support is coming! We can’t wait to see what the community comes up with...' we're excited to have a platform where people can share explore guides and tutorials on the best mods and modding for Darkest Dungeon.

Most mods and modding add content to the game to alter gameplay, change the creative feel, or give the player more options in how they interact with the Darkest Dungeon world. It will soon be seen how some mods/modding may be bigger expansions, or if others simply add more settings and options to optimize speed, graphics, or gameplay of the game.

Mods

Ideally, the creator of a mod updates the mod whenever the game updates - bringing more content, bug fixes, or optimizations. Otherwise, the mod may not work with a newer version.

Types of mods[edit | edit source]

New Class Mods[edit | edit source]

By far the most popular type of mod. New class mods are mods adding to the game non-vanilla playable characters recruitable from the Stage Coach or town events. Other such mods make alterations to already existing characters (whether vanilla classes or modded classes).

Texture Mods[edit | edit source]

Texture mods are adding to the game more available textures for various characters or objects. Most often creators of those mods are making custom skins for playable characters or NPCs in The Hamlet.

Town Events Mods[edit | edit source]

Mods, that either add or modify already existing town events. They can also, but less often be the mods, that remove certain town events from the save file, unless a mod responsible for it is disabled.

Location Mods[edit | edit source]

Mods, that edit existing locations.

Enemies Mods[edit | edit source]

Mods, that either modify, add or remove enemies encountered in the game.

Inventory Mods[edit | edit source]

Mods, that are changing logistics of player's inventory. Mods, that change stacking of items are items mods.

Items Mods[edit | edit source]

Mods, that edit items behavior, add new items or remove items.

Bugs[edit | edit source]

Note that if you install a mod, it may stop the game from working properly. If you encounter a problem while using mods and want to report it, first remove all of your mods to see if the problem still happens, as in the future some of the mods might conflict with each other. If the problem continues to happen, please notify the developer of the mod. Otherwise, try to reproduce the problem with the fewest possible number of mods, and then report the problem to the author() of those mods.

Darkest Dungeon,by itself, is a great game. It’s definitely one of the best roguelikes in thepast few years, with plenty of things to do. But just like with any other game,things can always be better. That’s why we have a list of some of the bestDarkest Dungeon mods for you.

We have something for everyone. From gameplay mods that will add new things to the game itself, to skins for the characters and even new classes. Regardless of what aspect of the game you want to customize, we’re sure we have something that’s just right for you. You can also look on the Nexus mods Darkest Dungeon page.

Let’s see what the best Darkest Dungeon mods are and why you want them.

Darkest Dungeon Gameplay mods

UI Enhancement

Install

Given that Darkest Dungeon is one of the best games of 2016, you may want to keep things as vanilla as possible. UI Enhancement allows you to do that, and still benefit from it. What it does is it gives you way more details about everything. If you’ve ever wondered what effects certain actions may have, this mod will let you find that out easily.

Pitch Black Dungeon

If you want to change almost everything about the game, from the UI and enemies, to the inventory and heroes, Maester Silvio’s Pitch Black Dungeon is the way to go. It does make everything different, and adds an interesting quirk. The first quest isn’t a quest, but a scripted tutorial test. The developers of the mod put it in place to demonstrate exactly what is different from the vanilla game. If you haven’t played the vanilla game, or don’t remember everything exactly as it was, this will help you get started. It’s an excellent mod for those who’d like something different.

Xbox One Button Prompts

As is the case with many other similar games, PC games often only give you PlayStation 4 button prompts. Even though translating them into their Xbox One equivalent isn’t rocket science, why would you bother with that? If you’re the kind of person to prefer playing Darkest Dungeon with an Xbox controller instead of the traditional mouse and keyboard, you’ll want this mod. Basically, it will add Xbox One button prompts. Without it, you’re forced with PlayStation 4 ones, which is a bit inconvenient. Sure, it isn’t life changing, but it does help.

Stacking Inventory

Inventories can be a pain to manage, and Darkest Dungeon isn’t an exception to this. A big issue is that you can’t stack items such as firewood or quest items. If you hate that this is the case, you’re not the only one. Maester Silvio strikes again here, with his Stacking Inventory mod. With it, you can stack gems, quest items and supplies. Jute Tapestries and Trapezohedrons stack to 2, Pews stack to 3, quest items all stack to 3, Firewood stacks to 5 and Dog Treats can stack to 8. It may not be too much, but it’ll make your inventory a better place.

Darkest Dungeon Character Skins

Bloodborne Highwayman

Darkest Dungeon Mod Folder

When you don’t like the way a certain character looks, a skin is the way to go. With this mod, the Highwayman will look like the Bloodborne Original art. Even though this doesn’t do much in terms of gameplay, it certainly does make the aesthetics a bit more interesting. If you’re a Bloodborne fan, installing it is a must.

Dark Souls II Crusader Skin

Dark Souls is a very popular game series, and many of the game’s players also play Darkest Dungeon. Willydamn, the developer of this mod, also developed the Bloodborne Highwayman skin. The Crusader skin, as the name suggests, will change the Crusader character in the game. The result? It’ll look like the character from the boxart on Dark Souls II. Considering how awesome the boxart characters are, this is a great thing. Now, just like the Bloodborne Highwayman, or any of the following character skins, this won’t do anything to the gameplay, but it just makes the game’s aesthetics that much better.

Geralt, Bounty Hunter Skin

The Witcher III is another extremely popular game nowadays, especially among the fellas that play Darkest Dungeon. This is exactly why the Geralt skin is on our list of best mods for Darkest Dungeon. It’s actually a very extensive effort, one that pays attention to all the possible details. To begin with, it does look exactly like Geralt. Second, Hunter’s axe is replaced with a silver sword – Geralt’s weapon. Oh, and when you get attacked, you’ll see the Quen sign. If you’ve ever wanted to do something that’s purely visual but goes into as much detail as humanly possible, this is the mod for you.

Darkest Dungeon Class Mods

The Warden Class Mod

If you want to add a class that’s similar to Crusader, the Warden is an excellent choice. To begin with, you can deal damage to enemies. At the same time, you can use her multiple banners and produce different effects. For example, the first banner will lower the Protect and Dodge of your enemies. The second one will destress and buff your allies. The third will give one of your teammates a small healing effect. Overall, it’s an interesting class, one you could give a shot to.

Pit Fighter

Even though there’s nothing elegant about it, the Pit Fighter is still an interesting character. It’s a big brute that’s made to demonstrate force as he attacks his enemies with nothing but his bare hands. It actually looks quite a bit like some of the human enemies you’ll encounter in various areas of the game, but unlike them, he’s on your side. Even though his creator does have a few other classes you could check out, the Pit Fighter is definitely his best effort.

Exaelus’ Revenant Class Mod

The Revenant is, simply said, a tank. He’s such a tank that other characters that are heavy armored don’t really want to accompany him on quests. Why? They just don’t want to be out-tanked. Other interesting additions include the healing capability, as well as dealing attacks that will make his enemies bleed. Even though he’s not the best against the Undead, he is definitely one of the best options for a character that can lead the charge.

Androu1’s Musketeer

How To Install Mods On Darkest Dungeon

Initially, the Musketeer was merely a reskin of the Arbalest class. If you were a Kickstarter backer at a certain tier when Darkest Dungeon was still being crowdfunded, you would’ve gotten it. Sure, it did have its own story and its own descriptions, but the functionality was the same of the Arbalest.

How

But modderAndrou1 made use of the skin’s art assets, developing it into a full-fledgedclass, and a great one at that. There are a few mods that do this, butAndrou1’s was the only one worthy of being on our list of best Darkest Dungeonmods. The only downside is that you’ll need the Musketeer assets for it towork, and if you weren’t a Kickstarter backer, you’ll need to source them fromsomewhere else.

Even though manygames actually have community-made mod managers, with Darkest Dungeon, you’llneed to do things manually. You’ll also want to follow all the steps, becausemissing out on something may result in game crashes and unstable gameplay.

Darkest Dungeon How To Install Character Mods

The first thingto do is to copy and paste the mod’s folder in the game’s installation folder.Almost everything will be taken care of with this, as the files are set up insuch a way so that you don’t have to bother moving a lot of files.

However, the Effect file, found in the Scripts folder, is one that modders haven’t found a way to deal with yet. If you just copy this folder into the game, it will override the content, and chances are your game won’t run. Instead, you’ll want to open the Effect file of the mod with Notepad, copy the effect of the mod you want, and paste it in the game’s Effect file manually. This should do the trick and have you sorted.
