Weighted Options

Weighted options allow you to choose how likely a particular option's value is to be used in game generation. The higher a value is weighted, the more likely the option will be chosen. Think of them like entries in a raffle.

Choose the options you would like to play with! You may generate a single-player game from this page, or download an options file you can use to participate in a MultiWorld.

A list of all games you have generated can be found on the User Content page.

Blue chest chance

The chance of a chest being a blue chest. It is given in units of 1/256, i.e., a value of 25 corresponds to 25/256 ~ 9.77%.

Capsule cravings JP style

Make capsule monster cravings behave as in the Japanese version. In the US version, the data that determines which items a capsule monster can request is a mess. It allows only for a very limited selection of items to be requested, and the quality of the selected item is almost always either too low or too high (compared to the capsule monsters current quality preference). This means that, if fed, the requested item will either be rejected by the capsule monster or lead to an unreasonable increase of the quality preference, making further feeding more difficult. This setting provides a fix for the bug described above. If enabled, the capsule monster feeding behavior will be changed to behave analogous to the JP (and EU) version. This means that requests become more varied, while the requested item will be guaranteed to be of the same quality as the capsule monsters current preference. Thus, it can no longer happen that the capsule monster dislikes eating the very item it just requested. Supported values: false, true Default value: false (same as in an unmodified game)

Custom item pool

Customize your multiworld item pool. Using this option you can place any cave item in your multiworld item pool. (By default, the pool is filled with blue chest items.) Here you can add any valid item from the Lufia II Ancient Cave section of the datapackage (see https://archipelago.gg/datapackage). The value of this option has to be a mapping of item name to count, e.g., to add two Deadly rods and one Dekar Blade: {Deadly rod: 2, Dekar blade: 1} The maximum total amount of custom items you can place is limited by the chosen blue_chest_count; any remaining, non-customized space in the pool will be occupied by random blue chest items.

Death Link

When you die, everyone dies. Of course the reverse is true too.

Enemy movement patterns

Change the movement patterns of enemies. Supported values: vanilla shuffle_by_pattern — The existing movement patterns are redistributed among each other. Sprites that usually share a movement pattern will still share movement patterns after shuffling randomize_by_pattern — For each movement pattern, a new one is chosen randomly from the set of existing patterns. Sprites that usually share a movement pattern will still share movement patterns after randomizing shuffle_by_sprite — The existing movement patterns of sprites are redistributed among the enemy sprites. Sprites that usually share a movement pattern can end up with different movement patterns after shuffling randomize_by_sprite — For each sprite, a new movement is chosen randomly from the set of existing patterns. Sprites that usually share a movement pattern can end up with different movement patterns after randomizing singularity — All enemy sprites use the same, randomly selected movement pattern Alternatively, you can directly specify an enemy name such as "Red Jelly" as the value of this option. In that case, the movement pattern usually associated with this sprite will be used by all enemy sprites Default value: vanilla (same as in an unmodified game)

This means that, after shuffling, exactly 1 enemy type will be dressing up as the "Red Jelly" sprite randomize — For each enemy type, a new sprite is chosen randomly from the set of existing sprites. This means that, after randomizing, any number of enemy types could end up using the "Red Jelly" sprite singularity — All enemies use the same, randomly selected sprite Alternatively, you can directly specify an enemy name such as "Red Jelly" as the value of this option.

Increase gear variety after B9

Fixes a bug that prevents various gear from appearing after B9. Due to an overflow bug in the game, the distribution of red chest gear is impaired after B9. Starting with B10, the number of items available from red chests is severely limited, meaning that red chests will no longer contain any shields, headgear, rings, or jewels (and the selection of body armor is reduced as well). This setting provides a fix for the bug described above. If enabled, red chests beyond B9 will continue to produce shields, headgear, rings, and jewels as intended, while the odds of finding body armor in red chests are decreased as a result. The distributions of red chest weapons, spells, and consumables as well as blue chests are unaffected. Supported values: false, true Default value: false (same as in an unmodified game)

Iris treasure floor chance

The chance of a floor being able to generate an Iris treasure. It is given in units of 1/256, i.e., a value of 5 corresponds to 5/256 ~ 1.95%. The true chance of a floor holding an Iris treasure you need is usually lower than the chance specified here, e.g., if you have already found 8 of 9 Iris items then the chance of generating the last one is only 1/9 of this value.

Shop interval

Place shops after a certain number of floors. E.g., if you set this to 5, then you will be given the opportunity to shop after completing B5, B10, B15, etc., whereas if you set it to 1, then there will be a shop after every single completed floor. Shops will offer a random selection of wares; on deeper floors, more expensive items might appear. You can customize the stock that can appear in shops using the shop_inventory option. You can control how much gold you will be obtaining from enemies using the gold_multiplier option. Supported values: disabled, 1 – 10 Default value: disabled (same as in an unmodified game)

Shop inventory

Determine the item types that can appear in shops. The value of this option should be a mapping of item categories (or individual items) to weights (non-negative integers), which are used as relative probabilities when it comes to including these things in shops. (The actual contents of the generated shops are selected randomly and are subject to additional constraints such as more expensive things being allowed only on later floors.) Supported keys: non_restorative — a selection of mostly non-restorative red chest consumables restorative — all HP- or MP-restoring red chest consumables blue_chest — all blue chest items spell — all red chest spells gear — all red chest armors, shields, headgear, rings, and rocks (this respects the gear_variety_after_b9 option, meaning that you will not encounter any shields, headgear, rings, or rocks in shops from B10 onward unless you also enabled that option) weapon — all red chest weapons Additionally, you can also add extra weights for any specific cave item. If you want your shops to have a higher than normal chance of selling a Dekar blade, you can, e.g., add "Dekar blade: 5". You can even forego the predefined categories entirely and design a custom shop pool from scratch by providing separate weights for each item you want to include. (Spells, however, cannot be weighted individually and are only available as part of the "spell" category.) Default value: {spell: 30, gear: 45, weapon: 82}
This option is not supported. Please edit your .yaml file manually.

Shuffle capsule monsters

Shuffle the capsule monsters into the multiworld.

While cave diving, you can add or remove unlocked party members by using the character items from the inventory Default value: false (same as in an unmodified game)
