🎯 Module Features
This mod is based on the "Prepare to Die (Hard Mode)" and "Remove sorceries incantations and weapons stats requirement" mods, with my own improvements added.
🤖 Intelligent AI system
- Enemy AI has been fully upgraded to become smarter and more deadly
- Detecting players from a greater distance will investigate your presence and extend the chase time
- Easier to detect stealth, hearing greatly improved
- Sight cone range slightly reduced by 5% as a balance
- You must make good use of tools and the environment for concealment (did you know you can shoot arrows at walls or the ground to distract enemies?)
📈 Progressive difficulty system
**NG Mode** 🎮
- Enemies deal 55% damage
- The player's physical attacks cause 120% damage, and magic and elemental attacks cause 100% damage.
- The enemy has 150% health and 125% stamina
- Ideal for first-time players, allowing exploration and learning while still being challenging
**NG+1 Mode** ⚔️
- Enemies deal 75% damage
- Player's physical attack is 100%, magic and elemental attack is 75%
- The enemy has 180% health, 135% stamina and 200% FP

**NG+2 Mode** 🔥
- Enemies deal 100% damage
- Player's physical attack is 80%, magic and elemental attack is 68%
- The enemy has 180% health, 135% stamina and 216% FP
- Enemies deal +45% stamina damage
- The enemy's resistance has been greatly improved, so you need to attack the weak points.
🛠️ System changes
**Equipment and Spells**
- All equipment and spell requirements reduced to 1 attribute point
- Use any school at any time without reassigning attributes or grinding runes
- Equipment and spells will still grow with the corresponding attributes
**Holy Grail Bottle System**
- The Holy Grail Bottle reaches its maximum healing effect at the start of the game
- You can choose 4-7 times of use
- All Golden Seeds and Crystallized Teardrops are replaced with 10,000 runes
- Place 4 golden seeds near the initial blessing point, you can choose to use them to get extra times
**Fast Travel**
- Can only teleport to churches and cathedrals
💡 Game experience
You won't be instantly killed in one or two hits, but the fight lasts longer and there are fewer Chalice Bottles. Enemy attack patterns need to be learned - bosses and powerful enemies will tolerate a few misses, but not too many.
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTE
- This mod is balanced for single player, online functionality is disabled
- The early game may be easier for veterans of the Souls series, but the difficulty will gradually increase as the game progresses.
- **Using this mod will result in being banned from online games**
- It is recommended to use anti-cheat switcher and offline launcher
📁 Installation method
- Back up the "regulation.bin" file in the "ELDEN RING\Game" directory
- Put the "regulation.bin" file of the module into the "ELDEN RING\Game" directory
- If prompted, select Overwrite
- Done!

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.
