Epic Jon and Friends *mod* *SPOILERS*

Post by thebannedone »

Like the title says this is a mod to make Jon Irenicus more Epic in the last battle with him in Hell, so mostly i'd want some people to test him out at that particular battle, and if you use a savegame then you better load one before you get dropped to Hell or it might be a wee bit difficult to get out of there.

This mod changes Jon from the Slayer(melee/mage) to a pure spellcaster who looks like Jon and not the grizzly Slayer, and sounds like him too.
Jon will now give loot and exp, though the loot you will get after you get transferred to ToB and also items dropped on the floor at the fight you can pick up there.

Also this contains:
-Improved Demogorgon(should be harder than tactics one)

-A battle with Cyric who is added to the 4th pocketplane challenge(since his chosen are such wuzzies).

-Fixed regenerations for the creatures that i found it being broken for: Ravager 5hp 1sec, Balthazar(also his stats are beefed up somewhat) 5hp 1sec, Demogorgon 6hp 1sec, Abazigal dragon form 5hp 1 sec, Draconis 1hp 2sec, Saladrex 1hp 3sec(this is also added to Firkraag though he didnt have it previously),fallen solar 7hp 1sec , planetars 1hp 1sec, devas 1hp 3sec. Now those are without counting if they have haste on and on 30fps game speed which means the regeneration time is twice as fast in real time.

-Faster forging cutscene for Cromwell as hes such a slowpoke(this should probably be compatible with any item mods for him).

-Online compatibility, i always trying making stuff so that you can host games with it while playing with people who dont have it installed, so that those people dont get kicked off from the game, this also means that theres no custom items etc. as those kinda things cause problems in mp, and im a fan of BG2 Multiplayer. Now i dont guarantee that people dont get kicked off 100% of the time, but atleast you should be able to do the battles unlike in some mods with custom content.

Now i dont know what mods this is compatible with, i do know that it would override Tactics Jon, IA Jon or any modded Hell Jon fight, same goes for Demogorgon, Ascension should probably work with Cyric if you installed Ascension after you put this in.

If you do like a challenge i recommend trying out Jon atleast, i tried making him a very smart epic arcane caster, Demogorgon on the other hand isnt very smart but still should be tougher nut to crack than the tactics one, and Cyric is a melee powerhouse type. They are all beatable legitly in solo at insane difficulty since i've tested them myself, but i havent done party testing though, so feel free to give them a go with more than 1 chr.

Now im not familiar with Weidu packing so ill just provide a simple .zip file so you have to manually unzip the files to your Override folder, which is located at your BG2 installation folder, and say yes when it asks to override files(if you do want to install them that is).

Any feedback is appriciated concerning anything included. Only try out if your an experienced player who likes challenges using legit items,classes and spells.

*Fixed* lil things in Jon's AI so redownload is recommended(if anyone has downloaded it in the first place that is ^_^'). If someone wants me to post or send them just the Jon's part(the last battle with him in Hell) of this, if they dont want the other things included, do send me a PM about it. I really would like to get some feedback on Epic Jon, so do try him out if ya got the guts for it!
