🎮 How difficult is it?

If you could complete the original Circle of Elden without using strong co-op/summoning, then this mod should be fine for you.

You'll need to relearn areas and play more cautiously, but it never feels impossible. The hardest peak boss fight is roughly equivalent to the Orphan level of Ludwig, Slave Knight Gale, or Kos from the previous game.

The main premise is to like taking on challenges and finding ways to deal with them!
