[MOD] The Curse of Kaefin

Post by Hustin »

My first mod -- can you discover the secret and lift the curse?

Ten levels for a beginning party (two are very small, though). I recommend a balanced party, though it shouldn't be necessary. You should have a full party or you'll miss out on the dialogue (and a rogue or you'll miss out on some of it). Dialogue isn't necessary either, though it adds to the atmosphere.

Would people please care to playtest it? Thanks!

Welcome to my first mod, The Curse of Kaefin. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I did making it.

It would not be possible without a lot of custom content from the LoG community:

- Arcane Ogre by Neikun
- Buttons galore by Balthasar
- Bookshelves by Phitt
- Clean Dungeon by Neikun

- Decoration pack by Neikun
- Entrail by odinsballs
- Flooded Dungeon by Skuggasveinn
- Ghost skeleton by Pandafox
- Ghoul by Leki
- Grim bed by Germanny
- High Elf Temple by Daniv
- Isgardian by Neikun
- Laguardian by Neikun

I hope I got them all, but don't be offended if I missed something!

* Carpets are slightly modded: I moved them up a tiny bit so that dungeon floors don't show through.
I don't recall having to mod anything else, but it doesn't hurt to check!

Hmm. I found a problem where players could get stuck very early in level 1, so I posted a new version (you have to find three secrets to run into it). I also took care of a (very) minor cosmetic issue on level 1.

I am embarrassed to say that I am stuck at level 1. I am playing v1.2

I have uncovered most of level 1. I am stuck at the demon face where says "it's too dark to see". I have inserted both red gem in its eye sockets. What now?

Go back to the snail area; a way out will be open to the north. It's a bit hard to hear from the daemon head, but I didn't want it to be too obvious. There's a LOT more to the level than just the snail area!

in the place where says "friend or foe". I have checked the rest of the map and found nothing. Left of that spot I have discovered a pit that is closed and I don't know how to open it.

That one is one of the more subtle ones...

You found one of the gems in a fountain, and there are two fountains in the Friend or Foe room (I really should have changed that text to something more helpful). Putting the gems in those two fountains will open a way forward.

Here's another hint that you'll need very shortly thereafter: the sconce you'll find on the wall is important.

Going forward, it's best to remember that the fountains are not merely for decoration ;)
