• New enemies in the tail and badlands. 
• Most vine and web enemies have new attacks and can bind players without fully capturing them.

If you enjoy the mod and would like to see updates on it or would like to report a bug, considering joining the official DID Games discord server where I regularly post updates : https://discord.com/invite/xXDgYPV

• A mod for didnapper 2 that adds some more interesting mechanics to monsters as well as add new monsters. Monsters can tie you in combat without ending the battle but instead debuffing the player instead. Additionally, there are new escape scenarios the player needs to escape from after losing to monsters which takes them to new area only reachable by getting caught by monsters which will include new bosses and some loot. New quests are also going to be added in involving, you guessed it, monsters.  Mod is in heavy work in progress. Right now there are 4 bosses which will be revamped in the future and 5 areas where you can be caught by monsters. The areas are bellia forest, miu miu forest, greywind pass, the stromm marshes, and the badlands. One of these places also has a special enemy waiting for you. I will add the rest in the future as well as new quests and new unique monsters. The current release is meant more as a demo then a reason to replay the game but if you are interested you can keep up to date on the progress of the mod at the did games discord server at https://discord.com/invite/xXDgYPV. Its also the best place to tell me about bugs.
  
  Only some outfits work properly right now and zhara sprite will be croped poorly. Additionally, bosses are found in escape area when caught by monsters. They have different sprites from everything else and and have a chest behind them. After you escape from the monsters, you will still be tied up and need to find a sharp enough rock to help cut off the rest of your restraints.
  
  Demo video of escape: https://youtu.be/QxUULQkVSPE

Both vine and web binds require you to escape from torso and leg restraints before escape from wrist restraints.

How to escape webs:

While binded by webs, you must first bring the leg binds below 30% to be able to struggle out of torso. However you can not fully escape from leg binds until torso is below 30% and torso can't be fully escaped from until legs are fully removed. Additionally, everytime you struggle torso or legs, the opposite and wrists get tighter. So get legs as low as possible then struggle from torso and jump between the two one of the aforementioned conditions aren't met. then escape from wrists.

Right now, most monsters excluding roots found in caves should take you to an new escape sequence

Where are monster nests and dens:

You can reach these areas by being caught by the monsters.
