Final Boss 1.1 gives every boss its own personality, makes final bosses transform mid-fight, and lets bosses remember you.

Install

  • Mod manager: update or install Final Boss on Thunderstore.
  • By hand:
    1. Download FinalBoss-v1.1.0.zip below.
    2. Replace your %AppData%/Balatro/Mods/FinalBoss folder with it.

Requires Steamodded 26.829.0+ and Lovely 0.9.0+.

What's new

  • Boss moves: every vanilla boss plays a signature move the moment its effect hits. For example:
    • The Hook yanks your cards.
    • The Ox drains your money.
    • The Arm slams the Raised Fist on your hand level.
    • The Wall, Water, Needle and Manacle show your value before and after.
  • Curse marks: these stay on cursed cards: suit frames, vines and cracks.
  • Final-boss deaths: each final boss has its own:
    • Crimson Heart shatters into hearts.
    • Verdant Leaf blows away.
    • Amber Acorn cracks open.
    • Violet Vessel spills out.
    • Cerulean Bell rings and breaks.
  • Phases: at 50% and 25% HP final bosses transform with a short cinematic, a new line, a stance and a II/III marker. A disabled final boss gets angry instead.
  • Phase twists: optional and off by default. Each final boss pushes back once per phase.
  • Memory:
    • Bosses remember your wins and losses on each profile and greet you accordingly.
    • Your nemesis gets a special entrance and a "NEMESIS DEFEATED" moment.
  • 10 achievements.
  • Settings: Boss moves, Boss phases change the rules, Boss memory.
  • Mod authors: register_encounter now takes moves and death recipes.

First release of Final Boss. Bosses talk back, showdowns become cinematic boss fights, and you decide when final bosses appear.

Install

  1. Install Steamodded 26.829.0 or newer (it brings Lovely 0.9.0 or newer).
  2. Download FinalBoss-v1.0.0.zip below and extract the FinalBoss folder into %AppData%/Balatro/Mods.
  3. Start Balatro. Settings are in Mods > Final Boss.

Using a mod manager? Get it from Thunderstore instead.

What's in 1.0.0

  • Every boss talks: an intro, reactions to big hands, close calls and your last hand, and a defeat line. That covers all 28 vanilla bosses, plus generic lines for modded bosses, in 15 languages.
  • Showdown stage:
    • a cinematic intro with a title band;
    • a roaming boss chip with an HP bar and damage numbers;
    • a living arena that darkens as the boss weakens;
    • a slow-motion explosive finale.
  • Reactions:
    • The boss reacts when your score lands.
    • It laughs off weak hands.
    • If you play during its speech, it snaps at you.
  • Game over: Jimbo mocks you with the boss's catchphrase while the boss laughs beside the panel.
  • Showdown schedule: choose when final bosses appear, with a live ante preview in the menu.
  • Settings: a themed config menu with independent toggles for dialogue, music, screen effects and cinematics. It respects Balatro's reduced motion setting.
  • For mod authors: FinalBoss.register_encounter gives your bosses their own tier, voice, music and effects.
