Roaming Cultists

This mod requires you to run the game within the beta branch and the launch option "-disable_monster_preloading". Using this launch option may cause the game to stutter for a second whenever a battle is about to begin, but completely prevents ctds and whiteboxes, which were common with this mod before the update.

To opt into the beta, right click darkest dungeon in your library, select "properties" and then the "beta" tab. Then simply select the "coming_in_hot" branch from the slider.

To set the launch option, right click darkest dungeon in your library and select "properties" again. Under the "general" tab, click the "set launch options" button and then write "-disable_monster_preloading" (without the quotes), click "ok" and you're set.


Groups of shrouded cultists have been sighted in the regions surrounding the Hamlet. Those who've gotten close enough to see what they were up to, have reported sightings of abhorrent eldritch summoning rituals...

Requires both the Crimson Court and Color of Madness DLCs


Roaming Cultists adds a new roaming encounter to Darkest Dungeon. The encounter is completely dismissable, as the cultists boast a healthy 1 HP each and simply killing them will let you avoid all possible harm. However, for those that crave the void, the first round should be spent observing the cultists, as they engage in a summoning ritual.

The Roaming encounter (which is guaranteed in the region they're roaming) is a ritual summoning, which allows you to replay any boss fight in Darkest Dungeon. Only 1 of the Cultists needs to survive to complete the summoning at the very end of the first round.

The Cultists will summon a random boss if left alone for the first round, killing themselves in the process.
To summon the boss you wish to fight, just equip the trinket associated with that boss!
E.g. if you've equipped a head trinket from the Collector, the Cultists will summon Collector for you to fight. A full list of trinkets that can be used for boss summoning can be found below.
For this purpose I have created 4 new trinkets. These are used to summon the Crocodillian and 3 of the Darkest Dungeon bosses.

The bosses will all drop their usual loot, which means that you can farm certain bosses somewhat easier, if you so wish.

Bosses on the random summon list include:
Mini-Bosses:
Collector
Shambler
Bosses:
Siren
Drowned Crew
Necromancer
Prophet
Swine Prince
Flesh
Hag
Brigand Pounder


I've hidden the trinkets inside spoilers, in case some people might want to discover which trinkets summons which bosses by themselves. If you wish to see how to summon a specific boss, just hover over the blacked out text! Bosses not mentioned individually are explained in the "Most Bosses" section.

Most Bosses:
Any boss that has a trophy trinket, can be summoned by equipping that trinket.
Example: If you wanted to summon Necromancer, you'd have one of your heroes equipped with Necromancer's Collar.

Mini-Bosses:
Collector Any of the 3 head trinkets
Shambler Any of the 5 Ancestral trinkets dropped by Shambler; Ancestor's Bottle, Candle, Map, Scroll or Tentacle Idol
Fanatic Pagan Talisman
Crocodillian Bulrush - Trophy for the new apprentice boss quest.

Bosses
The Garden Guardian Sculptor's Tools
The Miller Mildred's Locket
The Sleeper Comet's Lens

Due to how roaming bosses were implemented in CoM, simply disabling this mod from your save file will not allow you to play on that save without this mod. The game will still look for the roaming id on the embarking screen if a quest had the id before disabling the mod. As such, I have created Roaming Cultist Removal mod, which will work as a placebo for the game and keep an ineffective version of the roaming id alive. If you wish to get rid of this mod on your savefile, replace this mod with that mod and then follow the instructions written in the description of Roaming Cultist Removal.

TL;DR:
Replace this mod with Roaming Cultist Removal on your save file and then follow the instructions on that mod's page to get rid of any and all traces of this mod.

Huge thank you to Anonymous Koala for drawing the defense sprite of the cultist.
Color edits, trinket "art" & code by yours truly.
