Horde Mode

Adds Horde Mode into Dream Dives.

How much can you slay until time runs out?

Requires BossRush and Horde Mode config to be active in order to work.

Ensure Boss rush is ticked on and mark Horde Mode as "Yes"

Dream Dives will now lead to Horde mode.

To return to regular Boss Rush changed the Horde Mode activation to "No".

While the mod has been tested decently well it is recommended to backup your save from %USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Hades II\Profile*.sav in case there are issues.

Known Issues

  • Olympus and rifts of Thessaly have a short encounter before the survival
  • Config changes apply only game restart

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. 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.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. 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.
