📋 About This Mod

NEXT-GEN Compatible

Includes DLC monster trophies (B&W Expansion + HoS Expansion)

Why? Why? Why?

I know there's lots of other good Trophy mods here on Nexus.

But none of them fit my opinion on how they should work.

So I made my own rebalance.

* It's still WIP, but good enough to use in-game already.

Vampire trophies

Katakan, Ekimmmara and Garkain are very powerful enemies, especially when you play on Death March with auto-level turned on and maybe bunch of hardcore mods.

I know, cuz I've spent like 5-7 tries to kill Gael at Oxenfurt, even with black blood and proper oil.

So the trophies should actually worth hunting them down.

Katakan trophy

3% additional HP

10 HP regen

15% bleeding resistance

5% stamina regen

3% Adrenaline gain

Ekkima trophy

5% additional HP

15 HP regen

20% bleeding resistance

10% stamina regen

5% Adrenaline gain

Garkain trophy

10% additional HP

20 HP regen

25% bleeding resistance

15% stamina regen

10% Adrenaline gain

Trophies reflect creatures

One of the main goals of this rebalance mod, is to make trophies actually relate to their creatures in some way or another.

That's why vampires grant you HP and stamina related things, while Nekker Warrior grants the player with Attack Power + Crit. chance etc, and Arachas will grant poison resistance etc.

Arachas trophy

30% poison resistance

Nekker Warrior trophy

5% attack power

5% stamina regen

5% critical hit chance

Wraith trophy

10% Yrden spell power

5% elemental resistance

Nightwraith trophy

15% Yrden spell power

10% elemental resistance

Noonwraith trophy

20% Yrden spell power

15% elemental resistance

Cockatrice trophy

20% poison resistance

10% critical hit chance

Fogling trophy

20% Quen spell power

10% Igni spell power

Wyvern trophy

20% burning resista
