Better NG Plus (New Game Plus)
🎮 **Balance mod to make New Game+ mode more challenging**

🎯 Design Concept
This mod solves the lack of challenge in the early and mid-game areas of the original NG+. By carefully adjusting enemy health and damage multipliers, the combat experience in the early areas is comparable to that at the end of the first game, while maintaining a reasonable difficulty curve.

🔧 Technical details
The formula for calculating enemy damage and health in Elden's Circle:
*Basic attributes of the enemy × Area multiplier × NG+area multiplier × NG+Period multiplier*
This module modifies the **NG+ area multiplier** so that the total multiplier of the early area is equivalent to that of the mountaintop area.
For example:
- Stonewell: Original HP area multiplier 1.813 × NG + area multiplier 2.146 → modified to 3.585
- Rodel: Original HP area multiplier 4.125 × NG+ area multiplier 1.253 → modified to 1.575
💡 **Tip**: It’s actually easier than it sounds, not too difficult!
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- 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.
