Pony's Godly Overhaul

Overhauls the Gods' keepsakes, transferring their functionality to an altar and giving each keepsake a unique effect.

Installation

Follow instructions on Hell 2 Modding's readme.

Usage

This mod transfers the functionality of all Gods of Olympus' keepsakes, guaranteeing their appearance and letting you rarify their boons, to a separate altar. You can pick a god in this altar, getting the same effect as if you'd picked their keepsake. With their keepsakes now useless, all Gods of Olympus' keepsakes have been given unique effects.

The Altar

To unlock the altar you must complete its incantation, which you gain access to after unlocking at least 9 keepsakes.

Once you've performed the incantation, you can find the altar in your training room next to the pitch black stone, and you also access it by closing the keepsake rack.

Interact with the altar or close the keepsake rack to open the menu, showing you all available gods. A god becomes available when you give them nectar and obtain their keepsake. The text display at the bottom shows which god you have currently selected. Click on a god's image to select them, click them again to deselect them. Leveling a god's keepsake increases the rarify level if applicable.

For Selene, selecting her also grants you the additional path of star points the original keepsake did.

The Keepsakes

• The keepsakes :

• Zeus : While you have primed magick, your omega moves use 10/20/30/40% less magick.

• Poseidon : Slain enemies drop +100/200/300/400% gold.

• Demeter : After every Encounter, you gain a random assortment of 1/2/3/4 Elements.

• Apollo : Extends the invulnerability period of your dash by 20/35/50/65%.

• Aphrodite : Increases your chances to receive a Boon of higher Rarity. Rare +10/20/30/40%, Epic +3/6/10/14% and Duo +2/4/6/8%.

• Hephaestus : You gain 20/40/60/80% of all Max Health rewards as Armor.

• Hestia : During each Encounter after a delay you burn the ground beneath your feet, creating 1/2/3/4 Lava Pools.

• Hera : You can purge any God's Boon (except Hera's) into a Giga Pom of Power, 1/2/3/4 times this night.

• Ares : After hitting a foe multiple times inflict a Bloody Wound upon them. You deal +10/20/30/40% damage to foes suffering from a Bloody Wound.

• Athena : While you have this Keepsake equipped your Death Defiance will summon a hail of spears, instantly slaying all foes and dealing 5/10/15/20% Max HP damage to any Boss. Multiple uses against the same Boss deal significantly reduced damage.

• Selene : You are blessed by the Moon and gain strength from it as it waxes and wanes. Each room you gain the current Moon's Boon, which changes after each room as the Moon goes through its 4 major and 4 minor phases. The Moon's Boons are of Common/Rare/Epic/Heroic Rarity.

Additional features

You can force Chaos, Selene, Artemis and Athena, to spawn like regular gods. Some can only appear in certain biomes or have special requirements like vanilla however.

If Nightmare Fear is installed, Selene, Artemis and Athena will not be able to be selected depending on whether the Vows of Isolation and Eclipse are invoked.
