Quietus - Confringo

This mod fixes two sound effects that were too loud.

Quietus - Confringo and Swift volume fix

🎧 **Say goodbye to the harsh noise and enjoy the harmonious magical world! **

This mod remixes the sound effects of the spell **Confringo** and the quick dodge skill **Swift**, with the main purpose of reducing their volume.

✨ Feature Highlights

• **Volume Balance**: Significantly reduces the original volume of `Confringo` and `Swift` sound effects, so you no longer need to turn the sound effect volume too low.
• **Sound quality tweaks**: `Confringo`'s explosions are now less "booming", and `Swift`'s dodge sound effects are less sharp and impactful.
• **Subtle but Key**: The changes are small, but the effect is significant. Now you can safely set the in-game sound volume to around 90 instead of being forced to turn it down very low.

💡 **Effect Comparison**: You can view the comparison video to feel the difference before and after repair.

📥 Installation Guide

**Manual installation**

• Extract the contents of the `~mods` folder in the download package to your own `~mods` folder.
• This folder is usually located at: `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks`
• If you don’t have a `~mods` folder yet, create one.
• **Selective installation**:
• If you only want the `Confringo` fix, delete the `QuietusSwift.pak` file inside the `Quietus` folder.
• If you only want the `Swift` fixes, delete the `QuietusConfringo.pak` file.
• The final folder structure should look like this:

`C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\~mods\Quietus\QuietusXXX.pak`

**Mod Manager Installation**

Installation using Vortex or another mod manager has not been tested, but may work. If you try it, please report the results.

🛠️ Development plan and feedback

• **Next Tweaks**: I'll probably tweak the sounds of the `Diffindo` spell next.
• **Your Voice Matters**: If you think there are other sound effects in the game that need to be adjusted, or if you think the sound effects in this mod are adjusted to be too quiet or are still too loud, please let me know!
