📦 Installation instructions

  • Unzip the downloaded compressed package.
  • Place the entire folder into the `mods` folder in your Darkest Dungeon game directory.
  • Simple and easy!
💡 **Mod Author's Note**: Since the Steam Workshop Uploader has never worked for me, I uploaded it here as an alternative. Also, again, I still won't resize his model.

Enjoy the unique combat experience of this new hero with strong faith!

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
