📋 About This Mod

Overview:

Replaces most of Corypheus' spells with new ones, such as Chain Lightning and Fire Mines. Corypheus can now cause Freeze, Paralyze and other effects to your party. This should make for a more interesting, challenging and colourful boss fight.

Available for DAI ModManager and Frosty.

This is a new version of my previous Corypheus mod, which was much more limited in that I only edited his existing abilities, whereas this mod completely replaces them.

Known issues:

There's a short section of the fight where Corypheus is meant to teleport around balconies and shoot beams at you. This breaks the scripting for that and he just stands on the balconies doing nothing. At this point, you just have to damage him enough from range until the next section of the fight triggers.

Detailed changes:

Phase 1 (before dragon fight):

Video

  • []Flame bursts: An arc of flame erupts from the ground, dealing fire damage and applying Burning to targets. Replaces the red lyrium burst ability.

    []Chain Lightning: Corypheus' variant of Chain Lightning Paralyzes the first target and deals increasing damage to each new target it reaches. No target will be struck more than once. Replaces the meteor/shade summon ability.

    []Freezing field: Ice glyphs appear in an area and detonate, dealing cold damage and Freezing targets. Replaces the red lyrium AoE ability.

    []Curse: Targets in an area are afflicted with spirit damage over time. Affected targets also release a red AoE aura that deals spirit damage to allies standing in the aura. Can be dispelled. Replaces the red lyrium beam ability.

    Phase 2 (after dragon fight):

    • []Freezing cascade: Corypheus releases bursts of ice that cascade in a line, dealing cold damage and Freezing targets. Replaces his dual red lyrium beam ability.

      []Fire mines: Fire mines appear under all party members and stay attached to them. After a delay, the mines detonate, knocking down and dealing fire damage to targets. Can be dispelled. Replaces his melee attacks.

      Optional files:

      []Revised passives: In the first phase of the fight, instead of being immune to all disabling effects, Corypheus is only immune to Fear and Sleep. When he has Barrier up, he will then be immune to all disabling effects until the barrier is destroyed.

      Corypheus is now also considered a spellcaster, so Templar abilities that affect spellcasters will now affect Corypheus in both phases of the fight.[]Longer freeze and paralyze: Changes the default duration of Freeze and Paralyze from 2 to 6 seconds to make being hit by his spells more punishing.
