This change might not be popular, but I personally dislike seeing inactive skills on my bar

The Hunting Map can be found during Resistance Encounters, in an Academic's Cache, or with a high chance as a reward for defeating the Creature Den
If the map is in your inventory, a challenging boss fight will appear in the next Creature Den. If you're not ready, you'd better throw it away!

No problem I know the mod tools aren't really great for the game right now didn'tknow it was that bad , just a thought, ive been really enjoying your mod thanks for the frustrating work

@TheDevilKing 384

Hey there! I don’t want to sound rude, but modding for DD2 is honestly a nightmare. Only about 30% of the content I originally developed actually made it into the final version of the mod. I haven’t tried adding Confession bosses yet, it would take an enormous amount of testing just to make sure everything works properly. But I have a feeling that part of the game might be heavily scripted

Hi I wonder if like how you have added the kingdom bosses into confession, just wondering as an idea could the opposite be done too adding the confession bosses as fights into kingdoms
