Fable: Aeon Edition
TRIALS OF THE CONQUEROR
v 1.01
By Alexander The Alright
------------------------------
What is TotC?

Trials of the Conqueror is essentially heroic mode/hard mode/critical mode for Fable: Aeon Edition. While Aeon Edition has some difficulty on its own, a lot of this difficulty goes away after you get through early-game. It only then seems to come back again after beating Dragon Jack and facing the endgame "super-encounters". TotC aims to make the whole game significantly harder, without resorting to artificially raising the difficulty with bullshit like "every enemy has 1 trillion HP and there's 100 of them in a room" or "you have enough Will Energy to cast one spell and that's your lot". Enemy spawns will increase and, in some cases, feature tougher enemies earlier in the game, but enemy HP won't be touched.

Come and pass the Trials of the Conqueror, if you think you're hard enough.
