📋 About This Mod
This mod gives the Caparison of Lament a very significant buff to the stats:
+500 Stamina
+300 Carry Weight
+999 Fear Level
You can call this unbalanced (and it probably is) but I simply couldn't accept how underwhelming such a reward is. Roach turns into a badass demonic horse but all you get is tiny bit more stamina than a tuissant saddle.. unacceptable.
Now it should represent more closely what a hellish creature would be able to achieve
These changes were made also to make it possible to only equip the saddle without any more clutter on Roach to admire all of her newfound grace.
INSTALLATION:
Use NMM or copy the entire "modDevilSaddleBuff" folder in your "mods" folder, create it yourself if it doesn't exist (in your game install directory).
COMPATIBILITY:
Compatible with any mod as long as it does not change:
dlc\ep1\data\gameplay\items\def_item_horse.xml
dlc\ep1\data\gameplay\items_plus\def_item_horse.xml
Last tested on gamever 1. 31

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 379 endorsements and over 6k downloads—clearly fills a need.
- Directly addresses a common complaint: the HoS reward saddle feels underwhelming.
- Simple and lightweight, no bloat or extra features to worry about.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017—may not be compatible with the latest game patches or DLC updates.
- Only affects one item, so if you're looking for broader gameplay tweaks, this won't satisfy.
For Witcher 3 players who love Hearts of Stone and want the Caparison of Lament to actually feel like a worthy endgame reward. If you're a completionist who hates when quest rewards are underpowered, this mod is for you. Skip if you want major gameplay overhauls—this is a single-item tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to back up your original game files before installing, just in case you want to revert.
- Since this mod only affects one item, you can easily test it by loading a save before you obtain the saddle.
- If you're using other mods that alter item stats, check for conflicts—this mod may override or be overridden depending on load order.
