📋 About This Mod
You're gonna catch something. Adds status effects from monster bestiary descriptions that were missing from the actual monsters. Boosts the duration or power of existing ones that were negligible, and more.
Critical effects caused by monsters
Added to match descriptions in the bestiary:
Noonwraith/Nightwraith blindness effect:
In vanilla this disorientating effect removes the lock-on/aim assist and more and fades almost soon as it's finished triggering (lasts about 0. 5 seconds) so you never get to experience it.
Now, when the aforementioned enemies attack you in an immaterial form, you will be blinded for 15 seconds. However, in material form, the duration of blinding depends on the current health of the enemy (at least 3 seconds) – the lower it is, the longer the effect. So, the lower the enemy's health, the greater the risk of missed hits – and the better chance they have of regaining their lost health. Be careful!
Bestiary description:
Noonwraiths are also able to manipulate the physical world to a limited degree, kicking up clouds of dust which temporarily blind and disorient their opponents.
Vampire (Katakan, Ekima, Fleder, Garkain) bleed effect:
Gave it the effect on-hit as it was in a description:
Bestiary description:
The witcher knew [...] that its blows would cause heavy bleeding
The vampire had [...] the ability to regenerate lost life quickly, cause heavy bleeding with its claws
Wyvern poison effect:
Gave it the effect on-hit as the description recommends Golden Oriole against it.
Oszluzg poison effect:
Gave it the effect on-hit as it was in the description and was missing in-game.
Bestiary description:
Like wyverns, slyzards also attack with venom-spiked tails.
Grave Hag tongue attack poison effect:
Gave it the effect on tongue attack hit as one of the loading screens mentions her tongue attack being poisonous (and how you can cut it off) and the tongue attack caused no damage nor effect in-game.
Loading screen tip: You can cut off a grave hag's tongue while counterattacking. Then she won't be able to poison you.
The witcher knew this grave hag would put up a fierce fight. He would have to watch out for [...] her long, venomous tongue.
The BlockingEnemyEffects module from Counterttack Fixes is highly recommended to avoid stun when successfully cutting off the tongue!
Endrega Worker poison effect:
Gave it the effect on-hit as it was in the description and Golden Oriole is listed in their vulnerabilities:
Bestiary description:
Like all of their kind, endrega workers are highly venomous. Their bite is toxic, as are any wounds dealt by the bony growths on the ends of their limbs. They can also spew acid to great effect from a distance of several paces.
Burning effect from Ifrit’s attacks:
An Ifrit can cause its aura to
