XX Hypnotist - Class Mod

Hypnotist.

The manipulator of the mind, the summoner of illusions.

Some might call it a "parlor trick," but to a true master of hypnosis, mental cages are like iron bars, and imaginary wounds can become all too real. Death exists only in the mind, but the perception of death is as deadly as a dagger to the heart.

✨ Career positioning

She is a backline supporter who uses her abilities to make her teammates harder to hit. At the same time, she also has a series of debuffs that can be applied to enemies to reduce their threat.

📥 Installation instructions

  • Copy the mod folder to the Darkest Dungeon game directory (usually located in `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DarkestDungeon\`).
  • It is recommended to back up relevant files before operation.
  • The Mesmer will appear in Stagecoach as a recruitable hero. **It is recommended to start a new game** (as it may cause the game to crash if the mod file is deleted while you still have the Hypnotist on your roster).

🔄 Notes on game updates

Game updates sometimes overwrite some of the files required by this mod. Typically this requires re-copying the effects files and running the localization script again.

🌐 Localization settings

  • Go to the localization folder (usually located at `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DarkestDungeon\localization\`).
  • Make sure the `[this hero name].string_table` file is in the folder.
  • Run the `Localization.bat` file to compile the table.

⚙️ Effect file addition

Since there is currently no easy way to create additional effects as separate files, it is best to add them manually.

  • Go to the effects files directory (usually located at `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DarkestDungeon\scripts\`).
  • Open the `effects.DARKEST` file with Notepad.
  • Copy and paste the lines of effect code provided by the module into the bottom of the file.

**⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE: ** If any line of code is missing, it may cause the game to crash. If the game cannot be started due to game updates or overwriting, this is probably the problem. Please re-add the module's effect code.

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.
