Triple the number of enemies!

More enemies (x3)

🎮 Module introduction

Once you get used to Hogwarts Legacy's combat system, defeating enemies can become too easy. If combined with magic potions, deadly plants and equipment bonuses... you will find that you are much stronger than your opponents. There are already some mods on the market that attempt to solve this problem by making enemies more aggressive or increasing their health. This module adopts a simpler method: **just increase the number of enemy NPCs**. Of course, if you want **even more excitement**, you can also combine this mod with my **"Stronger Enemies"** series of mods! 😉

On average, this mod increases the number of enemies by **3x**, but the actual multiplier may fluctuate between **2x and **4x**. (In the game, the number of enemies you encounter when you pass a specific location is usually fixed. I adjusted this to add some variability.)

⚠️ Notes

Unfortunately, this mod **only affects enemies that spawn in the wild**. Enemy settings in bandit camps, spider lairs, and other places are hidden inside the game and cannot be easily modified. I might try to solve this problem in the future, but it would require learning Blueprints and Unreal Engine, which is quite time consuming. If anyone can give me some general guidance on how to do it, I'd be happy to try it!

📦 Installation Guide

**Recommended installation method:**

  • Directly click the **"Vortex"** or **"Mod Manager Download"** button on the page for automatic installation.

**Manual installation method:**

  • Download the ZIP file and unzip it, and find the **.pak** file inside.
  • Place this file into the following directory:

`Steam\steamapps\common\Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\~mods\`

  • If the `~mods` folder does not exist, please create it manually.

🗑️ Uninstall method

**If installed using Vortex:**

  • Click the **"Remove"** button of the module in Vortex.
  • **Important:** Please check the `Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\~mods\` folder afterwards to make sure there is no folder named `XXX-MoreEnemies3X_v?_?_?` (XXX is a three-letter prefix, depending on the number of mods you have installed). If it exists, delete it manually. Vortex sometimes misses and the residual folder means the mod is still active.

**If manually installed:**

  • Just delete the `MoreEnemies3X.pak` file directly from the `Hogwarts Legacy\Phoenix\Content\Paks\~mods\` folder.

🔧 Conflict and merge

This module will modify and replace the game's original file `PhoenixShipData.sqlite` (SQL database file).

If you have other mods installed that also modify the game's SQL data (such as my **Fewer Spiders** or **Stronger Enemies** mods), please use the **Mod Merger Tool** and follow the instructions therein to:

  • Merge changes intelligently.
  • Install the final generated merged .pak file.

**Tips:** If you want to know what specific modifications my mod made to the SQL database, just load my mod into the Mod Merger program and you will see a detailed list of changes. 🔍

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.
