🎮 Difficulty Assessment

If you were able to complete the original Circle of Elden without relying heavily on co-op/summoning, then you should be able to handle this mod.

You'll need to relearn areas and play more cautiously, but it never feels impossible. The scaling used in already challenging areas (Holy Tree, SOTE, etc.) is finely tuned so it doesn't feel frustrating or one-hit killable.

The main premise is to like taking on challenges and finding your own way of coping!
