⚠️ **Note**: This is a mod that adds new monsters. There are some special steps in the installation process. Please be sure to follow the instructions carefully.

• **Step 1: Copy files**
• Copy and paste all the mod's folders into the game root directory (usually located in `\Steam\steamapps\common\DarkestDungeon`).

• **Step 2: Add effect code**
• Open the `Effects to be added` file in the module with Notepad and copy its entire contents.
• Go to the `\DarkestDungeon\scripts` folder in the game directory, open the `Effects` file with Notepad, paste the content you just copied into it and save it.

• **Step 3: Compile localization files**
• Enter the game's localization folder (`\DarkestDungeon\localization`), find a file named `localization.bat`, and double-click it to run it.
• This step will compile the new monster name strings into the game, otherwise you might see weird blue text in the game.

⚠️ Known issues

• **Sound Effects**: It is currently not possible to modify the game sound effects, so the attack actions of all new monsters may be silent, which is normal.
• **Balance**: The module has not been fully tested on high difficulties, and the strength balance of some monsters is still being adjusted.
