Conan Exiles DLC: Debaucheries of Derketo – Lust, Revelry & Temptation

With the Debaucheries of Derketo Pack, released on 8 October 2019, Funcom revealed a side of Conan Exiles that had previously only been hinted at. After the brutal arenas of the Blood and Sand Pack, the focus shifted to sensuality, decadence and the dark temptation of the goddess Derketo – mistress of lust and death. This DLC transports players to a world of intoxication, celebration and seduction, where survival is not fought on the battlefield but in halls of pleasure.

The pack adds a completely different atmosphere to the game. Instead of cold steel and bloody combat, dance, music, wine and human desires take centre stage. It is an expansion that shows Hyboria is shaped not only by violence, but also by passion. With new furnishings, animations, clothing, decorations and even musical instruments, the Debaucheries of Derketo Pack transforms any stronghold into an oasis of seduction.

Thematically, Funcom dares something special here: the tension between life and death, ecstasy and transience. Derketo, the goddess to whom the pack is dedicated, symbolises both – and this duality runs through all its content.

Opulent build pieces in the Conan Exiles Derketo DLC: architecture and décor

Unlike earlier DLCs, Debaucheries of Derketo does not introduce a completely new building set, but a wealth of decorative and structural pieces that blend into all existing styles. Players can create luxurious taverns, baths, brothels or banqueting halls – places where revelry reigns over law.

Standout pieces include marble columns, silken curtains, stained-glass windows and sweeping staircases. These elements lend interiors an opulent character. New floor patterns, wall decorations and sculptures also help bring spaces to life.

A particular highlight is the new stage constructions. They allow you to stage dance and musical performances, which can be combined with new emotes. For the first time, it became possible to portray social hubs and festivities convincingly within the game world.

The community embraced this concept enthusiastically, especially on role-play servers, where the DLC quickly became standard kit for taverns and towns.

Seductive clothing, jewellery and masks in the Derketo Pack

A central component of the Debaucheries of Derketo Pack is the new clothing sets. These outfits are intended less for combat and more for display, ceremony and social scenes.

The fabrics are light, sometimes sheer, richly adorned with gold, pearls and gemstones. There are variants for men and women, all representing the cult of the goddess Derketo – seductive, exotic and dangerous in equal measure. The clothing combines airy fabrics with metallic accents, creating a striking contrast to the martial armour of other DLCs.

Particularly popular are the masks and pieces of jewellery introduced by the pack. Golden animal masks, necklaces and gem-studded headbands give characters a mystical, almost divine presence. These accessories express the temptation and power Derketo exerts over her followers.

The combination of clothing and decorations enables players to create entire cult sites or pleasure quarters that feel like temples of lust and hedonism.

New emotes and social interactions in the Conan Exiles DLC

For the first time in the history of Conan Exiles, a DLC introduced a larger number of new emotes and ways to interact. Players can now dance, drink, sit on furniture or strike sensual poses – gestures previously available only via mods.

These emotes are more than cosmetic flourishes. They open new avenues for role-play and social interaction. Taverns can be brought to life with dancers, musicians and guests, lending the game world a new dynamism. The animations are fluid and atmospheric, clearly inspired by ritual dances and festivities.

Additionally, the DLC brought several musical instruments into the game – harps, drums and flutes that serve as decorations or props. For the first time, the atmosphere of a living city with cultural life became tangible.

Debaucheries of Derketo changed how players could interact with one another. It added a touch of humanity – and temptation – to a harsh world.

The cult of the goddess Derketo in Conan Exiles explained

Thematically, the DLC is based on the worship of the goddess Derketo, a figure from Robert E. Howard’s mythology. She is both the goddess of lust and death – a symbol of life’s duality, which in excess ends in demise.

In Conan Exiles, Derketo is already present as a religion, but the DLC significantly expands her presence. New statues, altars, wall reliefs and offerings give her cult visual depth. Players can build entire temples where indulgence is portrayed as a divine act.

The depiction remains true to Conan’s style: seductive, yet menacing. Where Derketo is worshipped there is beauty – but also danger. The pack’s aesthetic captures this tension perfectly.

In role-play communities, entire cities emerged around the cult of the goddess, inspired by the DLC. There, the theme of balance between lust and death became a driving narrative.

Decadence and function in the Debaucheries of Derketo DLC

Although the Debaucheries of Derketo Pack is primarily decorative, it serves practical purposes in everyday play. The furnishings are usable: chairs, beds, benches and baths can be interacted with. This makes everyday life in bases and cities more believable.

Funcom struck a balance between functionality and atmosphere. The new pieces are detailed without feeling overdone, and they combine well in colour with other building styles. In particular, the DLC shines in combination with the Turanian or Argossean sets.

The technical execution also convinces. Textures are crisp, reflections on metal and glass look natural, and performance remains stable even when many light sources are active at once.

Impact on the Conan Exiles community and role-play

Debaucheries of Derketo was a turning point for the community. For the first time, social and aesthetic role-play took centre stage. Many servers began hosting festivals, markets and ceremonies where music, dance and interaction were the focus.

The DLC provided the perfect foundation for stories beyond combat – intrigue, romance, cult ceremonies and courtly politics. In doing so, Funcom opened Conan Exiles to a new kind of player experience.

Role-players in particular still appreciate that this DLC filled a gap no other expansion addressed: the need for atmosphere, beauty and social expression in a world of violence.

Conclusion: revelry, lust and shadow in Debaucheries of Derketo

The Debaucheries of Derketo Pack is one of the most atmospheric DLCs in the history of Conan Exiles. It proves that the world of Hyboria thrives not only on battle and blood, but also on passion, art and temptation.

If you want to transform your base into a den of sin, celebration or worship, this is the toolkit you need. The detailed pieces, new emotes and seductive aesthetic give the game an emotional depth that was previously missing.
