✨ **An upgraded skin tailored for Crusaders with Determination Level 6! ** Give your veteran Reynauld a new look and make him look like a legend.

🛡️Skin Features

  • **Epic shoulder armor**: Based on the "Fanatic Faith" equipment, a larger and more intimidating shoulder armor is created.
  • **Exquisite Helmet**: The original helmet has been remodeled in detail to look more powerful.
  • **New Longsword**: Inspired by the "Long Crusade", equip your crusaders with a unique weapon.
💡 **Creative Background**: The author is not a professional painter. All this is done through repeated editing and adjustment of the crusader materials in the game until a satisfactory effect is achieved! With the exception of the virtue/torture state diagram (which is beyond the author's editorial capabilities), everything else is ready.

🎮 Usage suggestions

  • **Best Experience**: This skin is highly recommended for **Resolve Level 6 Crusaders**, especially if you manage to keep Reynauld alive so far, the immersion will be at its peak!
  • **Compatibility Note**: Custom animated versions are only compatible with the original palette and cannot be shared with other Crusader skins.

📥 Installation method

  • Extract the files to the game’s `mods` folder.
  • Open the game and enter the module list.
  • Activate **"Legendary Crusader"** and that's it!

⚠️ Known issues

  • ❌ **NO CUSTOMIZED VIRTUES/TORMENTS STATUS CHART**: Sorry, the author is not good at drawing and cannot afford to commission one. If anyone likes this skin and would like to create these images or more colorways, the author would be very grateful!
  • ❌ **Custom animated versions are not compatible with other Crusader skins** (except the original palette).

🙏 Special thanks

  • **Clair de Lune**: Created and maintains the **Moonlit Dungeon** Discord server, which is the hub for all things Darkest Dungeon (especially modding). Without this, this skin might never have been completed!
  • **Sketch**: Provides valuable camping pixel art examples and advice, pointing the way for the author's first art edit.
  • **Shay, Anti, Koala, Mafe, Pendragon, Elserin, Zap, Adon, Mr.Pepper, Rhanar, Goblinman** and all **MLD** friends: thank you for your advice, encouragement and friendship, you give me continued motivation!
  • **Special thanks to Adon**: Your generous help is the best example of the supportive spirit of the Moonlit Dungeon community.
  • **Thanks Again Koala**: It was you who made the custom animated version of "Legendary Crusaders" possible! Reynauld looks super domineering now!
  • **Finally, thank you to Red Hook** for creating this wonderful game, and **Bourassa** for the exceptional artwork!

**Note**: This mod was originally part of the author's ongoing custom career project, but thought it would be cool for Reynauld to have it too, so this is the standalone version! Please look forward to the author's upcoming custom hero module (Note: This hero will not have the "Long Crusade" sword, which is exclusive to Reynauld, but the author will build another sword for him).

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.
