Thornwood Terrors Collection ROM Hack herunterladen

**VERSION INFO**

v1.01 -- 07 Oct 2015
-Bugfix to correct extra unintended attack for Club/Morningstar/Flails
--This error could've been avoided if the editor said 'Additional Attacks' instead of just 'Number of Attacks'; silly me ^_^

v1.0 -- 06 Oct 2015
-Initial Release



**INTRO**

Welcome to the 'Thornwood' ROM Hacks Collection!
These are 'IPS' patches so you'll need to grab an IPS patcher of your choice (such as Floating IPS) to patch it up
There are several such utilities on RomHackingDotNet (RHDN) and Zophar's Domain
I've also included a link below to the most recent version of Floating IPS that isn't available anywhere else!

Several patches are included for you to change the game YOUR way!
All of the patches are NOT fully compatible with one another!
Combine some of the patches at your own risk, or just use the 'Thornwood Terrors' Patch to avoid bugs/glitches

Due to some of these issues, I have included a BPS format patch of 'ThornWood Terrors' so that people can be assured when using it that their game will be relatively bug-free and glitch-free 
compared to the IPS patching.  If you don't use the BPS, double check your ROM hashes to make sure they match up!

**INSTRUCTIONS**

1. Obtain a legal copy of the Shining in the Darkness (USA) Sega Genesis ROM that matches the hashes above; how you do so is something that you can figure out yourself
2. Patch up with one or more of the 'Thornwood' IPS patches included in this archive using Floating IPS or Lunar IPS.
2a. Floating IPS is recommended because it works better than Lunar IPS, is fully backwards-compatible with it, and also can create and apply BPS patches if you ever need it
2b. If you want everything in one go, just use the 'Thornwood Terrors' IPS patch!
3. Finally, just copy the fully-patched ROM to a flash cart (or be a lamer and use an emulator)

**FULL PATCH CHANGES**

Thornwood Wisdom -- (XP Gains Increased)
===============================================================================
XP gains from all monsters has been increased by ~300% (tripled) of normal value (up to max of 4095 due to game limits)



Thornwood Wealth -- (Gold Drops Increased)
===============================================================================
Gold gains from all monsters has been increased by ~300% (tripled) of normal value  (up to max of 4095 due to game limits)
Tamayoshi Helm & Glass Armor can now be sold for 9000+ gold each; consider it an 'easy gold' cheat code that doesn't need a cheat device
Cheat can be performed with a flash cart with actual hardware if you enter the proper button sequence on your gamepad



Thornwood Cornucopia -- (Droprate Changes)
===============================================================================
Drop rates of all items droppable from enemies (including Bosses & Minibosses) are GREATLY increased
Drop rates are 6 - 1/16 (6.25%) for directly-used alchemist-consumable items such as Herbs, Miracle Herbs, and various Rings
Drop rates are 5 - 1/32 (3.125%) for the majority of other items including Weapons & Armor as well as items like Mithril Ore and Dark Block that are used for crafting
Drop rates are 4 - 1/64 (1.5625%) for all craftable Weapons & Armor including Mithril Axe and Hex Whip

-New Item Drops-
BRIMSTONE now drops Ice Staff instead of Dream Blade
GUARDIAN now drops Dream Blade instead of Light Robe
BLACKBONE now drops Thunder Armor instead of Mithril Axe
SHELLBEAST now always (once) drops Dark Armor instead of Mithril Rod
SOULTHIEF now drops Dark Hood instead of Dark Scimitar
SCIZZAR now drops Dark Helmet instead of Mithril Hood
DARK KNIGHT now always (once) drops the Dark Sword instead of nothing

-Helpful Item Drop List-
Dark Block = Makes certain 'Cursed' Dark equipment = KRUSHER/VYPER
Mithril Ore = Makes 'Blessed' Mithril equipment = BRIKEYE/COLLUSSUS/CRYSTAL OOZE
Magic Mirror = DEATHPAW
Barrier Ring = MANDAGORA
Magic Ring = LOKJAW
Forbidden Box = SERPI



Thornwood Affliction -- (Enemy Ability & Resistance Changes)
===============================================================================
All enemies BEFORE Floor 4 now have 1 (low) chances of dodging physical attacks
All enemies BEFORE Floor 4 are +1 'level' more vulnerable to ALL magic types
All enemies BEFORE Floor 4 are no longer immune to any magic types
All enemies BEFORE Floor 4 are +1 'level' more vulnerable to 'Screen' (Silence), 'Muddle' (Confuse), 'Sleep', and 'Desoul' (Instant-Death)
All enemies BEFORE Floor 4 are no longer immune to any status effects
All enemies BEFORE Floor 4 no longer have any immunities to 'special' actions such as instant death items like the Ogre Flute or Muddle 3 from the Demon Staff
All enemies that exist exclusively on Floors 4 & 5 are left unchanged

Crystal Ooze is the only exception to this rule
-Level 2 (medium) vulnerability to all magic
-Level 2 (medium) vulnerability to slow
-Level 1 (low) vulnerability to ALL status effects
-ZERO special immunities to Muddle 3 or instant-death mechanics
-Passive dodging ability reduced to low (same as other monsters)
-No longer attempts to flee battle or call for help
-Revamped and new abilities as well as buffed HP to keep from being a pushover

Thornwood Agony -- (Bosses & Minibosses buffs)
===============================================================================
First KaiserKrab encounter (to get the Royal Tiara) only triples health; all other attributes remain at default
Subsequent KaiserKrab encounters are buffed like the other Bosses & Minibosses
-even with the buffs, it keeps a level 3 (high) vulnerability to Slow so you can grind it in the early-game
Dark Knight and Dark Sol have 10x health and doubled stats as well as having max resistance to all status effects and high resistance to magic
-they are meant to be taken on at very high levels

All Bosses & Minibosses:
-have tripled HP & MP and a 50% boost to certain stats (Agility, Defense, Attack)
-have had ability tables altered to be more intimidating & challenging so BEWARE and be prepared!
-are immune to certain status effects (Muddle, Sleep, Screen, Desoul); also immune to instant-death items (Ogre Flute, etc) and Demon Staff's 'Muddle 3' effect
-non-vulnerable magical resistances are maxed
-are level 3 (high) vulnerable to ONE type of magic (Fire, Ice, Lightning, Wind, Burst) but it is up to you to figure out which one
--Dark Knight & Dark Sol are highly-resistant to all magic attacks
-are level 1 (low) vulnerable to Slow to give you a slight fighting chance
--Dark Knight & Dark Sol are immune to all status effects w/o exception
