Gameplay QoL
Gameplay QoL collects optional gameplay quality-of-life changes for speedrun routing and practice.
Part of the Speedrun modpack.
What It Does
Gameplay QoL lets you enable small run-flow and routing helpers without changing the broader balance package.
Current options:
- Skip Gem Boss Reward: Stops bosses from dropping gem rewards when using Grave Thirst.
- Prevent Echo Scam: Blocks both Fields minibosses from spawning in room 3 to prevent Echo scam.
- Disable Arachne Pity: Disables Arachne pity entirely for Any Fear runs.
- Force Arachne Spawn: Forces Arachne to spawn to reduce death pity reset.
- Force Medea Spawn: Forces Medea to spawn to reduce death pity reset.
- Incrementing Fig Leaf: Dionysus skip chance starts at the default value (37%), increases by 13% after every encounter, and resets on biome start.
- Disable Charybdis: Prevents the Charybdis miniboss room from appearing on Thessaly.
- Remove Thessaly Heracles: Removes Heracles encounter options from Thessaly.
Installation
Install via r2modman.
This module is usually installed as part of the full Speedrun modpack, where it appears in the shared Speedrun UI with the other speedrun-focused modules.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide. Hades II uses the game's built-in mod import — unzip the pack and place it where the readme says.
