Beyond the Estate, far off to the east, there is a land which contains the cradle of Ancient Evil and dormant power. Our talents are needed to disrupt a swelling terror deep beneath the crags and sands. In its wake we will struggle and suffer, but there are few others who could face the darkness through its veil of sandstorms, and march on to confront... the Black Reliquary.Black Reliquary is a total conversion mod for Darkest Dungeon and replaces the entire story campaign while restructuring the game's combat and progression. The player will be put to the test against more clever and dangerous opponents in a world that is both familiar and fresh. The project utilizes every tool available to bring in an exciting new experience, going beyond what other mods can do because of compatibility limitations. You'll fight against new enemy factions (namely, the Levantine, the Wildlanders, the Troglodytes, the Cactonids, the Lost Legion, and the Kvarotz) and in unique regions all touched by the influence of the Black Reliquarynote as of yet still under development. Taking talent from all corners of the Darkest Dungeon modding community, it has over twenty-one contributors in various roles of development.Its current version can be found here.

Abusive Precursors: The Kvarotz, an extremely nasty necromantic empire that left miles upon miles of catacombs, treasure, and berserk nocturnal semi-undead golems.

Status Effects

comment
Status Effects: Besides the ones returning from the base game, Black Reliquary introduces several different states that come with their own mechanics. Expiate will damage a target while healing the opposing group once if they use a skill that targets an opponent (i.e. attacks and non-damaging skills such as Mark For Death) and it doesn't kill the opponent. Amberblight will cause a target to either deal 15% less damage or receive 15% more damage if they either attack or use a friendly skill, respectively. Leeching activates if a target uses a friendly skill such as healing. It will then inflict blight on the target while giving the opposing party a restoration effect. Enrage increases a target's damage and will heal on killing an enemy, but reduces dodge. Frantic is a horror effect that not only inflicts horror on the affected target when they attack but will force them to retreat one rank in terror.

Notably, the Levantine feature several enemies that can be considered counterparts to other heroes. For example, the Levantine Terpsichorean is one to the Jester, as he buffs his allies, then shanks his way to the front ranks before landing a powerful Finale-like attack.

 Black Reliquary (Video Game) / int_3c700857
comment
Guys Smash, Girls Shoot: Played With with the Wildlanders. Most of their units are muscular women and tend to fight in melee. The sole male unit, the Harrier, is a fairly squishy archer, and other men encountered in the Exposed Interior are either enslaved or victims of Human Sacrifice. That said, there are three female Wildlander enemies that wield ranged weapons; the Bombard, the Raptor, and the Warhawk Matron. The Bombard wields a blunderbuss, the Raptor wields her Harpoon Gun with Chainsaw-Grip BFG while the Warhawk Matron is a boss enemy with a literal Arm Cannon.

The Exposed Interior has either a Wildlander slave who flees and lets you have the chest he was carrying if you free him via Wildlander token, or a Levantine Archeologist who, in exchange for relics, gives you Lost Teknote And rarely, a trinket that lets you obtain Kvarotz Daric from most Kvarotz curios.

Duel Boss
 Black Reliquary (Video Game) / int_4f37c96a
comment
Duel Boss: A downplayed variation with the Levantine Janissary. Every three combat rounds he designates a party member as his duelling opponent, giving that character alone an accuracy buff high enough to match his monstrously high Dodge — and then focusing all of his attacks on that one party member for the rest of those three rounds. The Levantine mooks he summons via Keep Them Busy will ignore the specific party member he has reserved. Other party members can still take swipes at him, but with only around a 1-in-5 chance of hitting.

The Empire
 Black Reliquary (Video Game) / int_556a4e20
comment
The Empire: Two very expansionist ones are featured with the Levantine, being the ones who kickstarted the plot by invading the Hamlet to reach the Darkest Dungeon; The Levantine: Very Ottoman inspired, the Levantine is a massive desert-Empire spanning a huge distance, composed of multiple tribes and conquered peoples who have fallen under the boot by their vast legions, wielding advanced technology and Black Magic hand in hand. Fielding a peerless professional military, they are currently focused westward, being relatively new to the scene, and now threaten the safety of the Hamlet. Ancient Kvarotz: While the Levantine are nominally aggressive, but still human, conquerers, the Kvarotz are straight up evil, being described as a "black-hearted" empire that praises one's power and the suffering of others. Torture and torment are celebrated, as are offerings to the dark gods. Streets are patrolled by automatons, lumbering about in the darkness and fueled by the corpses of the disobedient. With miles upon miles of ruined territory, their golems still infest the ruins of their fallen cities.

The Caverns have a small Troglodyte Purveyor (named Steve) wearing a merchant hat and surrounded by Amber, and gives you a bunch if you give him a gem. There is also an Amber Poacher who also gives valuable trinkets for amber and amber-based items.

comment
Snakes Are Sexy: The Levantine Enchantress, full stop; a lithe, youthful, and buxom Snake Person (it's not immediately obvious, but she's classified as being in both the Human and Beast categories, and when she uses Serpent's Call, there's a frame showing her face and upper body coated in scales and her face becoming much more snakelike and monstrous) who uses snakes as her primary allies (including one perched on her shoulders and outstretched arm) and makes use of very smooth and sensual dance-like movements in combat (including one particularly common frame across her various attacks and abilities involving the aforementioned pet snake coiling around her while she's striking a graceful pose in a way that emphasizes her cleavage), with her even swaying her hips in her idle animation.

Token Heroic Orc: There are vendors in each area who are usually members of the factions you’re fighting against, but give loot in exchange for other resources. The Catacombs have either a Levantine Deserter who gives you gold and gems for supplies, or a Kvarotz Vending Machine with trinkets for Matkah. The Exposed Interior has either a Wildlander slave who flees and lets you have the chest he was carrying if you free him via Wildlander token, or a Levantine Archeologist who, in exchange for relics, gives you Lost Teknote And rarely, a trinket that lets you obtain Kvarotz Daric from most Kvarotz curios.

There is also an Amber Poacher who also gives valuable trinkets for amber and amber-based items. The Treasury has either a Cactonid impersonating a drink seller that gives you a different Status Buff or curing diseases with certain supplies, or a Wildlander Mythical Warrioress and her son who gives you gold and gems in exchange for a Malignant Vestige.

For example, the Levantine Terpsichorean is one to the Jester, as he buffs his allies, then shanks his way to the front ranks before landing a powerful Finale-like attack. The Janissary is meant to be one to the Highwayman, since he wields a firearm and blade and also has a riposte. The Levantine Pursuer is one to the Houndmaster; both fight in tandem with an animal (a massive eagle in Pursuer's case), are able to mark targets and while Houndmaster can heal Stress to the party, the Pursuer deals party-wide Stress damage. A Head Swap of the Hellion is among the Wildlanders ranks, and has much the same weaknesses of the normal counterpart. The Legion Judicator is one to the playable Judicator; both are able to Expiate and capitalize on Expiated targets, on top of wearing very similar armors.

Interface Spoiler: A very deliberate example is used to indicate the presence of a Kvarotz Otekh during an encounter. Rarely, one may notice that a basic mook-type enemy (e.g. a Levantine Grunt or Wildlander Hellion) has a tag that reads 'Stonework?' in their mouse-over info. Their stats and skills are completely par for the course unless they're left 'til last.

Chest Monster: The Cactonid schtick - many of the valuable things in the Treasury are sleeping Cactonids, and interacting with them wakes up the hungry plant monster who quickly calls a full party to fight you. Beating them gives you valuable items, more so than just normal interactable objects, making greed a gamble on if you are able to fight the Cactonids.

The Veiled has the Precipice Vessels, which have him inflict Enraged on a target of his healing. Sounds like a great way to boost your damage and give a Healing Factor? Except it also gives Frantic, which not only disrupts your formation, but unless you’ve brought Laudanum or someone able to cure Horror, will stack up stress like nobody’s business.

Suspiciously Similar Substitute: The Yngnolian is the Shambler stand-in. However, unlike the Shambler, it can only be encountered via activating the Beacon, due to it having a special Trinket that can be upgraded every time it's fought. It still snuffs out the torch and shuffles the party when encountered. It can also summon Y-Cell minions that, instead of gradually becoming stronger with each attack, they inflict a radioactive explosion, interpreted as causing both blight and bleed. The Sand Charmer is the Collector stand-in. It's a sandy snake-like being, and summons sandy, skeletal versions of the Bounty Hunter, Occultist and Shieldbreaker.
