Prepare to die (hard mode)

🎮 **A complete enemy AI and attribute remodeling module, increasing difficulty is not limited to blood volume and damage**

✨ Core Features

💀 **Extremely difficult but fair**

🌟 **Basic experience that the game should have**

🔄 **Bring new challenges by re-experiencing existing content**

⚔️ **Say goodbye to the rampant "simple mode"**

🎯 Game Suggestions

  • **Be Prepared** - Be prepared to face NG+ level difficulty from the beginning of the journey
  • **Don’t underestimate your enemy** - Underestimating your enemy will lead to your failure
  • **Enemies and wildlife are no longer blind or deafened, nor do they have short-term memory loss**
  • **Teleport Limitation** - Can only teleport to churches and cathedrals now
  • Deleting or renaming the "map" folder disables this feature (not recommended)
  • **Environmental Awareness** - Be aware of your surroundings every step of the way
  • **Stealth Skills** - Hiding and stealth experience required
  • **Remote Threat** - Don’t underestimate the power of arrows
  • **Item Usage** - Consumable items may whisper to lost souls if the right questions are asked

🔥 Recommended combination

**Personal Recommendation**: Use this mod in conjunction with Clever's Action Mod Pack. Depending on the weapon you choose, move combos will work like a difficulty slider, providing a fantastic combo experience - "A dangerous world, exciting combat".

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.
