New game experience: hardcore mode (but not so hardcore)

🎮 **A carefully designed difficulty balance module** - It not only increases the challenge, but also provides reasonable auxiliary functions, allowing you to experience a different Elden Ring!

✨ Main functions

⚔️ **Enemies Enhanced**

  • The health of all normal enemies is increased to 3 times
  • The health of all bosses has been increased to 2 times

💰 **Economic system adjustment**

-The number of runes obtained is increased to 10 times

  • No forging stone required, just runes to upgrade weapons
  • Upgrade your summons with just runes

💪 **Character Enhancement**

  • Increase player's health, concentration and energy
  • Weapons and spells no longer have usage requirements

🎲 **Randomization of game content**

  • All items in the game are randomly distributed (except key items)
  • Enemy positions remain unchanged

🛠️ Installation Guide

  • Download "modengine 2.0"
  • Download this module and unzip it
  • Copy all folders and ".bin" files
  • Paste into the "mod" directory in the modengine folder
  • Open Steam and launch "Launcher_eldenring" from the modengine folder

🌟 **Experience Suggestions**: This mod is suitable for players who feel that the original game is too simple, but don’t want to be tortured too badly. The randomized item system makes every game feel fresh, while enhanced character attributes ensure the feasibility of the game.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
