Q. Why there is no two versions like before? Why don't you integrate Honour Features Unlocker like before? A. Honour Feature Unlocker mod leads to bugs that I can't fix. If you want to play honour mode and save your game, there is mod that permit you to save. Just use it.
Q. I want to have Honour Features/Legendary Actions in my Custom Mode, can I? A. No. I'm sorry.
Q. Can I install it on existing saves? A. Yes, change difficulty to make stats change.
Q. If I want to play this mod in Honour Mode, what should I do? A. Just install and play, but I don't know if it works as you can't change the difficulty and refresh state of creatures.
Q. If I already installed Honour Features Unlocker, should I remove it? A. I don't recommend you to use this mod right now until the author fixes some bugs.
Q. There is no difference when I used this mod in my honour mid-through. A. Because you can't change the difficulty to refresh the stats. But maybe there are other ways to make it work like go to another scenes but I haven't tried before.
Q.Where is your enemies enhanced stronger bosses version? A. Sorry I don't support it right now.
Q: How to Update? A:Just overwrite mod and change difficulty to work. If you are in Honour Mode play, don't mind it.
Q: How To Uninstall? A: First delete "Stronger Bosses" no matter which version you downloaded, then download "Uninstall Mod", enable it and save your load, then delete "Uninstall Mod".
Q: How to Update? A:Just overwrite mod and change difficulty to work.

Why should you choose this mod
If you feel that the atmosphere of INTENSE fighting in the party has already come up when playing in certain scenes and you want to fight a big battle but the enemy is too WEAK, try this mod.
I personally experienced the entire game process of the original TACTICIAN difficulty and remember every EPIC battle in the game.
So I created this MOD to make up for my regret after easily winning the battle. My modifications almost cover the MAIN COMBAT content of Chapter 2 and Chapter 3, optimizing the experience of most battles.
I am not only trying to make the game DIFFICULT, but to make you remember this battle and grant greater fulfillment after defeating STRONGER enemies.
Similarly, I want some characters to have the abilities as shaped by the PLOT and CG, whether they are allies or enemies. I want ENDING to be epic, all of your ALLYS make sense in Armageddon.

Steps to avoid bugs
First,be patience to read and check the mod order which I'll list below.
Second,be sure you only put one version of my mod in your mod folder. If you were not, delete all of other versions (including Uninstall mod)
Third,you need to aware that my mod doesn't change anything about AI (Except Gortash right now). AI stucking problem is from vanilla or other mod.
Fourth,if you want to uninstall this mod or using other version of this mod, you need to follow the uninstall and update steps.
Fifth, this mod can’t use with Magus Action because this mod modifies Character.txt. If you really want to use this mod, try put it before my mod.
Installation and Compatibility
This mod is totally compatible with Tactician Plus, BG3 Fixed, Lethal AI Enemies, Immersive AI, Enemies Enhanced , Additional Enemies, Death March Alpha and True Initiative.
I sugguest that enemy-modifying mods should be put under my mod to ensure they working.
The optional file provides MORE ACTIONS VERSION for party, allies, and enemies. It is safe to play through. Change the difficulty to work and update stats in-game.
To Install: use BG3 mod manager. Remember to export order to game.
If you want to install another version of my mod, you need to uninstall mod with proper steps at first. Or mod will work incorrectly.
To Update ：Just overwrite mod and change difficulty to work.
To Uninstall: First delete "Stronger Bosses" no matter which version you downloaded, then download "Uninstall Mod", enable it and save your load, then delete "Uninstall Mod".
Just put StrongerBosses before TacticianPlus. So enemies'HP will get boost twice, first my mod modifies the base HP, then TacticianPlus boost the overall HP.
Mod Order Example:
All of your other mods (Including StrongerBossesSpellRebalance)
Stronger Bosses and Enemies
Enemies Enhanced (Stronger bosses stats version)
Tactician Plus Health Boost (You can choose Configurable Enemies instead)
Tactician Plus Stats Boost (You can choose Configurable Enemies instead)
Combat Extender(if you are not familiar with this mod, don't use this or try to learn this mod)
Mods that mod's author told you to put under my mod or Mods that be overwritten by my mod.
Known issues: If you load an existing save with this mod, you need to change difficulty from tactician to balanced and then back to tactician for HP buffs to apply.
If you find any mod seems be overwritten by my mod, put my mod before this mod!!!
Optional Stats Boost Mod
Combat Extender. My mod not aims at boosting enemies HP and actions now so you can change difficulty by learning this mod.
(Not recommend to those who not familiar with stats balance)
General Combat Changes
This mod aims to buff the bosses in Chapter 2, Chapter3, and a small number in Chapter 1 to give players more challenges.
Bosses and Strong Enemies are possible to get from one or some of these Changes :
Added enemy modifications specifically for Honor mode to Tactical mode, rebalancing the health of a large number of bosses.
Extra attacks ( Give Me More Feedback About Unreasonable Extra Attack)
More HP
More Abilities (especially focusing on wisdom)
More Slots (3 each level), more movement (6m)
More Action and Bonus Action (common version only influences important bosses in Act 2 and 3)
Physical Resistance
Legendary Resistance (1 in ACT2, 2 or 3 in ACT3)
Indomitable
Magic resistance
AC is little changed for a few strong bosses
Nearly all Ally NPCs can receive Tactician Mode boosts. NPCs in late Act 2 (related to boss fight) and Act 3 receive a 30% BASE HP Increased one by one.
Enjoy boss battles!
Change Log （Spoiler Alert）
2.7.2: Changed NPC's dash. It only cost bonus action to increase their 30% movement speed. This is to avoid AI wasting actions on dash.
2.7.1: Changes AI. Now AI will more likely to attack enemies near them not only focus on low AC character. Give Gortash Volley to make sure he can useout his resource.
Orin duel friendly more. 14d8 once per turn. Ansur lightning ball 7d6 no cool time. Red Dragon ball 10d6 no cool time. Gortash bane state deal 80 damage expectation per turn.
Rebalanced the resistance of some bosses.
2.7.0: Fixed all the bugs guys mentioned before. Remember to remove the version you used to play. If you are on play using Honour Mode Unlocker included version, be careful to update for safe as I remove this mod which leading bugs (This is a great mod but sorry it really leads to bugs) or you can try it.
Change AI of Gortash. When he is not in bane state, he is more likely not to use his crossbow and knife to attack enemies but to buff allies and use skills. When he is in bane state, he will be more aggresive.
Nerfed Orin and Sarevok's deathbringer attack skill, espacially orin.
Remove cool down for some skills of gortash, myrkul, etc. They will useout their action source and not just common attack.(Hope)
Remove fast hands for some enemies. (Affect AI, hope they will not just normal attack).
Ruduced Legendary Resistance Layers 5,4,3 to 3,2,1 to fit the Honour Mode Difficulty (Larian has add Legendary Resistance for some bosses) . Each Act2 boss can own one layer. Each Act 3 boss can own two or three layers. If you want more, use Combat Extender.
2.6.2: Fix bugs cause Sarevok's deathbringer attack losing damage.
Slightly reduced Ansur's lightning ball damage to 8d7 X2 (Ansur has 2 action resources and his attack has no cooldown)
Same as Red Dragon's fire ball damage to 10d6 X2. Red Dragon's fire ball has smaller radius than Ansur's lightning ball.
Return back Sarevok and Orin's deathbringer attack damages to original. These two skills both have one turn cooldown.
2.6.1: Nerfed INT adult red dragon. It should't be the strongest enemies in ACT3 as there is time limit for you to defeat dragon. I don't want you only have one way to defeat it: boost your damage.
2.6.0: Patch#6 Ready.
Fixed bugs like bosses loses their legendary actions.
Adjust some bosses to make them not so perfect. They will have correspondding reasonable vulnerable damage resistances. Like Cazador, Orin, Ansur, and other bosses. These changes mean that different Different types of damage can be achieved by surprise, indirectly enhancing some weaker spells.
Removed some magic resistance and indomitable feats for most of the bosses. They should be not perfect as warrior should not have magic resistance but have indomitable.

2.4: Patch#5 Ready
Now, the number of high difficulty boss actions in each post game will not exceed two. For more actions, please use custom enemy MODs. Overall, enemies' HP and action numbers has been weakened on older versions of mods. I don't want to make my MOD difficult and inflated with numerical values, and make players have to use abnormal BD. This is not my goal. I am very grateful to Larian for adding the legendary action to make game harder in proper way.
Adds Ledendary Action for Myrkul and Gortash. Myrkul's is from Father Carrion. Gortash's is from Nere.
