Version 2.0 Update!New Features:
- Night 1 Bots have been added! (They leave with the Day 2 fog)
- Day 3 Bots will cater their loadouts around the chosen Nightlord.
- Garbs will randomly be assigned to Bots that assist you (selected from what you've unlocked) These outfits are consistent across the Expedition and when returning to the Roundtable. These also effect their potential loadouts.
- Full support for the DLC has been added! Undertaker, Scholar, Balancers (Normal and Everdark), The Dreglord, The Great Hollow, and all DLC Night Bosses are fully functional!
- Various tweaks to Night Boss & Nightlord Health and Poise to account for the added stagger damage from bots.
- Storm Control Profile has been updated. This file is optional if you aren't comfortable with the default rain speed and is highly reccomended for solo play without needing to optimize a run or feel rushed.
This mod adds NPC Bots that assist you when playing Solo Expeditions during Day 1 & 2 Night Bosses and Day 3 Nightlord Bosses (as well as Everdark Sovereigns and Duo Boss Events)
- DAY 1 -
A Nightfarer will now help during the Night 1 Boss within the first minute or so of the fight! They're useful at drawing aggro and helping with staggering the boss, but their damage is lower than a player's and if they die, they can't be revived.
If they show up wearing a Garb, it'll maintain throughout the Expedition as if you're crossing paths again. (Day 1 Nightfarers are less reliable than Day 2, however) Two Nightfarers can spawn in to help during Duo Boss Events!
When using the Storm Control profile, Day 1 lasts about 35 minutes.
- DAY 2 -
These AI will be randomly selected from Nightfarers you have unlocked that you aren't playing as! (no clones) They'll also have a semi-randomized weapon load outs when they drop in to help. (Imagine they flew in on an Eagle while on their own Expedition)
You won't know quite who's going to show up to help or what they'll have on them, but you'll always have someone on their way to help you out during the Night 2 Bosses, even if they're a little late!
When using the Storm Control profile, Day 2 lasts about 45 minutes.
- DAY 3 -
When loading into the Day 3 Nightlord Boss Arena, two Nightfarers will be picked at random from the unlocked pool that you're not playing as. (They won't be clones of you or each other and you'll have to unlock certain Nightfarers before they'll show up to help! Revenant's Family can also assist as bots if she's helping)
On Day 3, the Nightfarers will use loadouts that are geared for the target Nightlord, but they still have lower damage values than a player character. They're not meant to beat the boss for you, just to make Day 3 Solo feel more like the Co-Op experience! If they go down, however, they won't be getting back up. They can save you if you're down-but-not-out, but if they get taken out by a Nightlord, you'll have to adapt to losing one or both of your allies!

Recommended Mods:
Seamless Co-op (Nightreign) This mod is meant to be played Solo, but Seamless Co-op will still let you fight Everdark Sovereigns and play Deep of Night mode solo.
Pause The Game Very useful. I use Steam Controls to bind the P Key to my PS4 Share Button so i can pause when I need to, very useful when using the next mod...
Storm Control Highly recommended. I've included a Profile you can install to your Storm Control mod folder to use a dynamic speed setting on the night's progression.
