Included in this release is an all-in-one TextTools (.ttmp2) package, as well as individual TextTools (.ttmp2) files for those who prefer to mix and match specific actions. These files are compatible with both Penumbra and TextTools, and I’ve also provided an all-in-one Penumbra package (.pmp) for convenience.

My vision for this mod was to reimagine the Monk as a more traditional martial artist rather than a breakdancing performer. Expect powerful punches, dynamic kicks, and fluid martial stances—all infused with a touch of Dragon Ball Z flair.
In revising the animations, I focused on delivering impactful strikes rather than the original claw-like swipes that never felt quite right. Every change was made with careful attention to visual and audio elements, always keeping the Monk’s rotation and combat flow in mind.
For those who crave even more spectacle, I’ve included a few optional Masterful Blitz animations that serve as truly dramatic finishers. These additional animations aren’t shown in the preview video, as I created them afterward.
I’ve worked hard to ensure compatibility across all races. However, male Viera are unfortunately broken and do not work as intended due to their unique skeletal structure, resulting in significant leg bone mapping issues. Female Viera are unaffected and will see the animations as intended. Additionally, certain jumps and sidesteps don’t scale perfectly for Lalafells—they execute the same moves but with slightly less height or reach (e.g., Phantom Rush, Elixir Field). If a solution to the male Viera issue is found, I plan to update this mod in the future. I’m also working on creating custom .pap files for Lalafell actions to better scale their movement and enhance the overall experience for those playing as this race.
Overall, I’ve enjoyed the transformative impact this mod brings to the Monk’s gameplay, and I hope it resonates with others as well. My aim is to offer players a more satisfying, visually striking, and dynamic take on the job’s combat style.
In the video I also list the types of adjustments I made to each action, such as…
Minimal FX: reduction in existing visual effects, to declutter the animation
New Effects: new or altered visual effects for the action
New Sound: new or altered audio effects for the action
New Motion: different skeletal animation, some are swapped from other actions, and others were modified using 3D Modeling software.
No update is available for this mod.
Reports I ignore and delete immediately:
- Virus warning: you will either read the FAQ/Troubleshooting guide or you will perish. I’m tired of begging people to read.
- DT/version update requests: mods will not get updated until someone shares the update with us on Telegram & an uploader gets to it.
- Malicious ads/files: again, read the FAQ/Troubleshooting guide. You WILL get fucked up if you can’t pass a simple reading comprehension test.
- Catbox/Buzzheavier is down: yeah, services go down sometimes. We do not own Catbox or Buzzheavier, you can wait a few hours for the services to come back.
- A make-up/body mod only has loose files: ipad babies all over again.
Deadass I’m NOT addressing any of the above ever again. Do not message me about them, your report will get deleted, you will get ignored. I didn’t waste my time writing up the FAQ/Troubleshooting sections for mfs not to read.
To everyone else, thank you for your report so we can fix actual issues with the website, I appreciate your input.
