General Changes:
Nightmare Difficulty
Enemies have 2x HP, FP, SP, damage, defenses, and poise.
Additionally, their perception is doubled, allowing them to engage from much greater distances.
There are four tiers of enemies, each with unique HP modifiers and varying levels of force behind their attacks.
Nightmare Bosses are the most powerful in-universe, possessing exceptional resilience and overwhelming might.

Sovereign gives you many completely overpowered tools to work with. This will make you use every mechanic to its fullest.
Base: 2x HP  -  Elite: 3x HP  -  Boss: 4x HP  -  Nightmare: 6x HP.
Edit SpEffectParam(7360, 7370, 7380, 7390) to adjust this to your liking.

Perfect Block
Tap Block for Sekiro-style Deflection.


The Deflecting Tear is always active and has Sekiro-style FX.

Quick Buff
Apply Blessing of the Erdtree, Flame Grant Me Strength, Dragonbolt Blessing, and Sacred Ward.
Use Numen's Runes and Rune Arcs to quickly buff yourself.

Double Jump
You can now perform a second jump in midair.
Reach higher platforms, avoid ground-based attacks, and navigate challenging terrain with ease.

Fall Damage Rework
Survive falls from extreme heights with Longtail Cat Talisman or a bubble.

Extremely satisfying. Longtail Cat Talisman is no longer completely useless.
Falling for more than 12 seconds or into one of the many placed kill boxes will still kill you.

Lava Damage Rework
3x damage.
No longer pathetic. You shouldn't be able to bathe in this stuff.
You are still able to cross large sections if you chug your flask.


Flask of Wondrous Physick
3 charges.
Usually I wait for a good time to use this and never end up using it.
