Gameplay QoL

Gameplay QoL collects optional gameplay quality-of-life changes for speedrun routing and practice.

Part of the Speedrun modpack.

What It Does

Gameplay QoL lets you enable small run-flow and routing helpers without changing the broader balance package.

Current options:

• Skip Gem Boss Reward: Stops bosses from dropping gem rewards when using Grave Thirst.
• Prevent Echo Scam: Blocks both Fields minibosses from spawning in room 3 to prevent Echo scam.
• No Selene in First Room: Removes Selene from the reward roster of the first room of a run.
• Disable Arachne Pity: Disables Arachne pity entirely for Any Fear runs.
• Force Arachne Spawn: Forces Arachne to spawn to reduce death pity reset.
• Force Medea Spawn: Forces Medea to spawn to reduce death pity reset.
• Incrementing Fig Leaf: Dionysus skip chance starts at the default value (37%), increases by 13% after every encounter, and resets on biome start.
• Disable Charybdis: Prevents Charybdis from appearing on Thessaly.
• Remove Thessaly Heracles: Removes Heracles encounter from Thessaly.
• Jeweled Pom Boon: Chooses which Hades boon the Jeweled Pom grants. Falls back to a random Hades boon if the chosen one is not eligible (Last Gasp).
• Fix Zagreus Timer Freeze: Resumes the run timer when Zagreus is killed right after he rises again; vanilla leaves it paused for the rest of the run.
• Disable Codex and Inventory when IGT is active: The Codex, Inventory and trait Info screens pause the in-game timer, so during a run they can only be opened while the timer is already paused. On by default as a leaderboard rule.
