Dark Army Resurrection 1.8 - TOTK

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Check Last update: Dark Army Resurrection 1.8a - TOTK - Quick Bugfix

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello everyone,

it's been a long time since the last update, so let's start with some news.

Starting from this version, DAR is gonna be compatible with TKMM, so from now DAR will come as a .tkcl file. This means that you need TKMM mod manager to be able to use DAR.

The great advantage of using TKMM is to be able to use more mods at the same time, in a easy way and without conflicts.

Here you can download TKMM.

Compatibility with TKMM also means that I've been finally able to add around 20 Install Options to customize your experience.

Those Install Options are available just for Patreons and they include options like Random Spawning Enemies Rate, Player Stats Customization and many more.

I've rebalanced the Random Spawning System so now there are 4 levels of enemies rank, those levels will auto scale completing Sages Temples, meaning that the more Sages Temples you complete, the higher the enemies rank will be.

Patreons will have 4 different options for Random Spawning System Rate, and they are gonna be toggleable as a TKMM option.

More enemies variety, now Wizzrobes will randomly spawn as Yigas, from the begin!

The difficulty has been rebalanced in general, so let's say it's more playable even if there are gonna be some situations with a lot of enemies to face at the same time, after all this mod has been designed to be 'The Most Painful Zelda Experience' so... GIT GUD!

The mod has been tested on Switch and on Suyu Emulator and it works on both platform.

After you defeat a Bokoblin Boss, there is a chance that a Stal Bokoblin Boss appears, the higher is the Bokoblin Boss Rank, the higher is the propability to resurrect.

   Random Enemies Spawning System Reworked

I have rewritten from scratch the Random Spawning System, trying to balance it, so now playing in Scaling Mode will work like that:

• After 1 Sage -> Junior, Middle and Senior Enemies + Junior and Middle Minibosses + Gleeoks + Junior and Middle Lynels

• After 2 Sages -> Junior, Middle, Senior and Dark Enemies + Junior, Middle and Senior Minibosses + Gleeoks + King Gleeoks + Junior, Middle and Senior lynels

• After 3 Sages -> Junior, Middle, Senior and Dark Enemies (and Gold Enemies if playing with Challenge Mode) + Junior, Middle and Senior Minibosses + Gleeoks + King Gleeoks + Junior, Middle, Senior and Dark Lynels (and Gold Lynles if playing with Challenge Mode)

Playing in Scaling Mode is highly recommended, however you can also choose to play Hardcore Mode where all enemies spawned will be at their higher rank.
