Lustiest Lair: Expanded v1.73 Test Release (Baron Tier Early Access)

Added 2025-11-18 15:12:29 +0000 UTC

The Bound in Brass Update

Changes:

Added UI header art for the Maid. (She's not ready yet though)
Added UI header art for the Maid in the LL:E UI mod.
Added NPC art by Hazu for the Stagecoach.
Added entrance room art for the Workshop by Anonymous.
Added bespoke rubble to the workshop. It now has its own unique obstacle.
A long-standing bugbear of the mod has been slain: It is no longer possible to encounter LL:E mini-bosses in the Old Road tutorial dungeon.
Changed all available Hazu NPCs to Hazu's SFW versions at base. When the Darkest Dungeon's corruption begins seeping into the Hamlet the NSFW versions will occasionally flicker across the screen, which I think is more fun to me personally. It's like the whole Hamlet is slowly become more corrupt and perverse as the influence spills from the manor. I understand this might be a slightly controversial change, but it's a selfish one: I find it hotter when ladies start clothed and become naked rather than always being naked. Remember that you're always free to use whatever NPC skins you like if this change doesn't vibe with you.
The Workshop Opens town event can now be encountered sooner (10 weeks -> 8 weeks).
The Workshop Opens town event now has a lower growth rate but a massively increased base chance. (16+4 weight per week -> 50+2 weight per week).
Reduced the amount of stress healing by the camping skill 'Masturbate' to reflect its potency as a 1-cost action. (30->10 if you're not afflicted. 50->20 if you're afflicted.) It is the single most powerful skill in the mod, in my humble opinion, and needed to be brought in line. For a 1-cost action it is still powerful, but it's no longer absurdly strong.
Reduced the amount of self damage done by 'Masturbate' camping skill (8%->4%).
Reduced the strength of the 'Kegel Exerciser' quirk. (+20% Stun chance -> +10% Stun chance).
Reduced the damage buff of the 'Arm of the Mimic' trinket (+20% DMG -> +10% DMG).
Thirst of the Ahegao has been reworked to be a more risk/reward strategy rather than little risk and huge rewards.
Thirst of the Ahegao's on-kill accuracy buff reduced. (+3% per kill -> +1% per kill).
Thirst of the Ahegao's on-kill crit buff reduced (+3% per kill -> +2% per kill).
Thirst of the Ahegao's on-kill damage buff reduced (+4% per kill -> +3% per kill).
Thirst of the Ahegao now has a static -10 ACC. You'll have to use other trinkets, buffs, and specific strategies to get the ball rolling and bring yourself back into positive ACC.
Thirst of the Ahegao now grants -1 SPD per kill. As you rack your buffs up you'll no longer be able to one-shot every enemy before they've had a chance to act - if you surprise the monsters though they're still toast! Might be worth bringing a hero that can Guard?
Reduced chances of Knothound's attacks inflicting a quirk on a heroine (30%->20% on hit).
Increased the odds of encountering goblins in the Coves at all levels when at least one heroine has the Goblin Bait quirk.
Increased the odds of encountering goblins in the Ruins at all levels when at least one heroine has the Goblin Bait quirk.
Increased the odds of encountering goblins in the Warrens at all levels when at least one heroine has the Goblin Bait quirk.
Massively reduced the amount of loot dropped by the Slaver enemy at all levels. She was easy money before.
Reduced the spawn weight of mimic chests. They are now less likely to occur than normal heirloom chests (They were of equal chance before, which didn't feel right.)
Goblin Empress has had the accuracy of all her attacks raised at all levels.
Increased the damage and critical chance of Goblin Empress's 'Sow Chaos' attack at all levels.
Increased slightly the damage of Goblin Empress's 'Sow Pleasure' attack at all levels.
Significantly increased the damage of Goblin Empress's 'Sow Submission' attack at all levels.
Maidens are now slightly less likely to target the most stressed heroine.
Maidens are now more likely to target a marked heroine.

Bugfixes:

Corrected the Warrens Skiver erroneously spawning in beginner-level dungeons.
Trialling a fix for Shambler tentacles sometimes not displaying a capture animation properly. Let me know if this fixes it for you or if it breaks everything?
Corrected an erroneous spawn in early Weald dungeons where you could end up fighting just two enemies.
Corrected an erroneous growth amount added to a base game town event that could fuck with the game's ability to properly queue town events. This might be responsible for The Workshop Opens not appearing for some folks.
Fixed a missing string for when Goblin Empress releases a heroine from a grab.
Fixed one of Goblin Empress's attacks being broken and not firing properly at Champion difficulty.
Fixed Marionette animations not playing properly.
Fixed a missing string for when hovering over the Workshop Opens quest.
