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).

Installation

Install via r2modman.

This module is usually installed as part of the full Speedrun modpack, where it appears in the shared Speedrun UI with the other speedrun-focused modules.
